Before all that happens, maybe give disabling amcodec hardware acceleration a shot and just use mediacodec.
Looks like the WeTek-Jarvis RC2 is not packaged yet in the Firmware OS 1.1.1 update. Will not be long now.
@ WeTek, Kodi is up to Jarvis RC3 BTW.

Leave both MediaCodec and MediaCodec Surface enabled? Eventually though, won't we need amcodec for MVC?

ff-mpeg2 stuttering Bob is the result....
No Thanks when am-mpeg2 gives fantastic Hardware Deinterlacing results on a AML S812-H.

I ran some tests (gonna get a lawsuit for doing this things at 7am I guess, lol) with both S812 and S905.
With S812 on TrueHD and DTS-HS MA I get some audio drops, like if it interrupts, when amcodec is used. Using MediaCodec works perfect BUT playback is not as fluid as with amcodec, and that is weird because the OMX libraries used are the same, for example, used by Netflix in case of h264 that is buttery smooth.
On S905 using amcodec you don't have the interrupts and, for the records, MediaCodec is jerky here as well.
edit: interesting! Disabling the refresh rate adjustment does not make the audio interrupt with amcodec as well!

Nice sleuthing !
I really only use the Android system Refresh Rate Adjuster for the 24p Netflix Refresh Switcher App anyways.
