Issue: Stuttering when watching specific TV channel or a recording on a beebox n3150.
Issue first occured in LibreElec, I now install Ubuntu 16.04 to have more "tools" at my disposal. Issue persist.
It does not matter if I use live view, watch the recording or play back the video directly from my kodi system via "Video".
I've place an example here: https://dropfile.to/1ExsbEn ; access key = LknJ2HZ . Issue starts 12 seconds into playback, reproducable.
I found this issue on my newly bought beebox N3150 (8 GB) which was meant to replace the Nvidia TV Shield... yet the CPU spikes 100%, kodi debug log even states > 130%... Normal Bluray and some other channels play back perfectly though!
Error in kodi log is "Found reference and non-reference fields in the same frame, which is not implemented. Update your FFmpeg version to the newest one from Git. If the problem still occurs, it means that your file has a feature which has not been implemented."
But this cannot be correct because the Issue does NOT occur when
- doing Live View on the channel where I see these drops on a NUC 34010H (using the SAME hard disk, but I couldn't test the recording!) , CPU never goes above ~50%
- playing the video using VLC on the problematic beebox
- when using a laptop and watching the same TV channel in live view in Kodi on it whereas it happens on the beebox in live view in Kodi at the same time (side-by-side compare)
htop also shows one thread using nearly 98% CPU, whereas the other numerous ones are nearly idle.
Pastebins, also updated to latest vaapi etc:

Extra info for Germans / Europeans: No issues playing back "Das Erste HD", CPU-KODI utilization ~ 45%. "Pro Sieben HD" and other HD+ ones CPU-KODI ~ 137% , ZDF HD ~ 50%. No idea what to make of it (except Das Erste and ZDF both are 720p whereas HD+ is 1080i afaik).
Thanks!
