Hey I'm back with another problem <g>.

BTW about that video framerate changing feature discussed above... the solution is to install this plugin:

Now about my new problem. I managed to get yesterday AC3 & DTS working fine in KODI 17.1 in both passthrough and "re-encode to AC3" modes. To test it I've used the video samples from here:

Now after some time all DTS 5.1 files started to play noticeably unsteady. The audio is okay, but the video goes as if it would freeze for a moment, then play very fast as if it wants to catch up the skipped slices, then again freezes, again accelerates and that's what constantly happen.

Here's my test file with DTS audio:

I've started playing with settings... disabled audio passthrough completely... nothing helped, video still freezes. Then I've desperately removed KODI altogether (deleting cache & data files), and reinstalled it from scratch. I launched KODI for the first time, opened the /sdcard/Downloads/ directory where I had a test file, and just tapped it. And guess what... it still freezes/accelerates! At the same time, the same file plays absolutely fine in SPMC and MXPlayer.

The only thing that fixes the freezes is when I disable both "Allow hardware acceleration: MediaCodec" options in settings. Well, but I'm not happy with this solution.

The most interesting thing is that I CAN SWEAR that I've seen the same video playing smoothly in KODI yesterday, before this madness started. With MediaCodec and even with pass-through DTS audio! All was fine, and then suddenly broke.

So, what I have now is that even if I clean up KODI completely, reboot the box, reinstall KODI and start playing that file without changing any settings, it plays unsteadily. And at the same time, the same file plays fine with any other player.

Anybody has any idea what happens? I can make a video if something is unclear...
