For AML S922X or any other Android device with a powerful CPU package running Android Kodi, the decodefilter.xml file can change from using Hardware decoding to CPU Software decoding for specific Codecs...

Make sure Android Kodi is not running...

Using XPlore Android App (make sure Show hidden files in Settings is selected):

Disable VC-1 Hardware decoding by....

Turn XPlore WiFi Sharing On
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/docs/xplore/wifi-share
and Use a WebBrowser....

Navigate to..

Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/decodefilter.xml -->> click and select Clipboard Icon to Edit

and change this bit:
Code:
<name>OMX.amlogic.wvc1.decoder.awesome</name>
<allowed>true</allowed>

to this:
Code:
<name>OMX.amlogic.wvc1.decoder.awesome</name>
<allowed>false</allowed>

Save (Floppy Disk) Icon and Restart Android Kodi.

Your instructions were perfect and easy to follow.  I tried several times, even uninstalling Kodi and re-installing Kodi, but those VC-1 videos still are jerky, and voice and lips don't even come close to matching.....
I tested this on my Beelink GT 1 Mini2 (Amlogic S905X3).
Even disabling the two hardware decoders does not help, guess the CPU is not powerful enough to software decode that video codec..... Unless I am missing something.

This could be one of the edge cases where the higher power CPU processing of the S922X over the S905X3 is useful I guess?

(Be amazing if someone could install Linux on an Apple TV 4K... The processor in that is very swift...)
