If you fast-forward or rewind a file in TureHD, DTS HDMA tracks, or MKV MP4 files in DV HDR mixed format during playback, the screen will be out of sync or freeze during playback.You can try the following to resolve this issue.

My environment
LG OLED CX, latest firmware, using the TV's native speakers (or using EARC to connect AVR 5.1); CX TVs do not support any form of DTS
kodi, org.xbmc.kodi_20241205-2e8cb3b4-Omega_arm.ipk, all keep the default settings, only DLNA and audio passthrough (AC3 pass-through, EAC3 pass-through, AC3 transcoding enabled)
dlna server，lg smartshare

Specific method,If Kodi is out of sync or frozen when playing the above files,You can press the play button on the LG magic remote control (button with triangle pattern),The playback screen will pause,Then press the left button of the remote control,The playback time will go forward 10 seconds,At this time, you must wait 2-3 seconds,That is, the picture must be switched to the picture 10 seconds ago,Press the play button of the remote control again,Kodi starts to continue playing the video,At this time, there is no out-of-sync or frozen。

I tested at least 10 videos, and all but two or three of Kodi's own demos that were playing problems were able to solve the problem. Of course, I've only tested in my environment, and I can't guarantee that other environments will work.

Is there any improvement in the A/V sync issues, or if I want trouble free playback on LG TVs I need to buy a CoreELEC box?

[A600]

I can't test passthrough so I'm limited to ALSA and my experience with an LG C4 (webOS 24) is that to get a proper A/V sync I must disable the delay in AESinkALSA:

Code:

diff --git a/xbmc/cores/AudioEngine/Sinks/AESinkALSA.cpp b/xbmc/cores/AudioEngine/Sinks/AESinkALSA.cpp
index 990583e36d..7bbbc11443 100644
--- a/xbmc/cores/AudioEngine/Sinks/AESinkALSA.cpp
+++ b/xbmc/cores/AudioEngine/Sinks/AESinkALSA.cpp
@@ -892,7 +892,11 @@ void CAESinkALSA::GetDelay(AEDelayStatus& status)
     frames = 0;
   }

+#if defined(TARGET_WEBOS)
+  status.SetDelay(0);
+#else
   status.SetDelay((double)frames * m_formatSampleRateMul);
+#endif
 }

Do you mind sharing your modified .ipk i dont know how to modified it myself.

I use the master branch. If you don't mind I could upload it after I compile a clean build with only that patch and this PR Also inputstream.adaptive must be compiled with IsRealTimeStream set to false, otherwise live streams have the same problem with the audio out of sync.

Very nice work. I’ll test the .ipk on my LG CX as soon as it’s ready and report back if sync is working better with the two patches applied 👍 @A600

Tested on LG G4 latest WebOS no sync issue in passthrough. Thanks a lot for this.

Last thing to have would be trueHD/atmos passthrough.

Hello, thank you A600. DTS, DTS-HD and DTS X work properly on LG C3/HW-Q990B. Dolby TrueHD/atmos support is missing for full happiness. In the audio section, when playing FLAC 2.0 or 5.1 it plays only stereo and sometimes as DTS (this is what the soundbar shows). From the errors I found a problem with FTP (I have to provide the exact path because Kodi does not see the directories, Samba works OK fortunately. Happy New Year.

since I updated the TV to SW Version 23.20.42 and had to reinstall Kodi, I have problems with the interface, if you start playing a video file the UI of Kodi still persists and flickers over the video file content, sometimes it helps to press the back button on the remote several times, this problem exists on the newest and oldest nightly available on the day of testing (versions from 2024117 - 20241222) unfortunatly I need a function of Kodi 22 so Kodi 21 ist not an option. Maybe someone can look into this before releasing Kodi 22 for WebOS.
