Thanks

I only enable the automatic frame rate switch and the passthrough if connected to the AVR, moreover I put my mysql server details for the shared library in advancedsettings.xml but that's just to share the library accross a bunch of devices.

If not done so already:

Kodi setup TIPS:- to get rid of the annoying conflicting Air Mouse when operating Kodi:
Settings > System > Input Devices > Enable Mouse and Touch Screen Support > Disable

24p and Auto Frame Rate Switch: (24p Cinema or Movie must be enabled on the TV as well - enable that only, nothing else)
(You may need to enable Expert Mode - on the bottom left)

Settings > Videos > Playback > Adjust Display Refresh Rate > On start/stop
-Pause during refresh rate change > 1 or 2 seconds

Also disable the resource intensive and very annoying RSS News scroller on the main screen
(God I hate this default setting with a passion, especially on ARM devices- it should be Nuked!)
Settings > Appearance > Skin > Show RSS news feeds > disable

Thanks for your help

If your RPi2 and the WeTek Core produce the same picture quality and the awful Soap Opera video display on your particular TV, I would either be getting in help from a retailer to calibrate the TV or ditching your TV completely, it is the TV that is the issue not the media player. Especially if all your media files produce the same result.
Every other media player will give you the same results on this problem child of a TV.

exactly, maybe has some stuff that can't be disabled on the hdmi port?

Thanks a lot.

Literally go through every setting on your TV's and turn OFF all the picture, color enhancements, edge enhancements, motion smoothing, frame rate doubling etc. You will need to spend some time and effort switching all that shit off and consult the TV manuals.

I would love to help you, but this was just a cheap set at work. All I remember doing was going through every option (there were a lot) and just turning off anything to do with noise reduction or image manipulation.

Did a factory reset, the audio continue to be out of sync 0,45 seconds, the files with variable bitrate continues to freeze the box, but now i know that it has to do with the chip. tonight i will test it more intensively.

A sort list: Sony MotionFlow, Samsung Auto Motion Plus, Sharp AquoMotion, Toshiba ClearFrame or ClearScan, Vizio Smooth Motion, Panasonic Motion Picture and LG TruMotion

Try turning off Motion Picture settings if you didnt try yet.

I just don't understand why they do it!

I have a THX calibration Blu-Ray that I use to calibrate all my TV's. I would much prefer that manufacturers built that in rather than all the current guff!

Because you have a AVR in the HDMI loop you will need to set a Global Audio delay because the Audio has to be processed by your AVR and this takes a wee bit of time and this cause it to get out of Sync with the picture on your TV. This is a standard thing to do with any Kodi media player with an AVR.
If your setup went WeTek Core > HDMI > TV everything would be in sync.

This is what is needed:

Set an Audio Offset, then Set as default for all videos

the fact that this chip doesn't support variable bitrate is very limitating, most stuf outh there have variable bitrate, what chip can read H265 and variable bitrate?
