Mid 2011 MacBook Air here with exactly the same issue. Choppy playback, but with the overlay up, it's smooth.

This has significantly improved on the last nightly (0911 build). The frames are displaying in the correct order now, but there's still a small (about 300px or so vertically, maybe 3 or 400px horizontally) triangular 'glitch' in the upper-right corner. It corresponded with the diagonal line seen down the frames in the videos I posted, but now it truncates about a third of the way down.

It's not constant, so it might be hard to get a still photo of. I can get more video if you want, but it's basically the upper portion of the diagonal split you see in my earlier video.

Well, nevermind.. I went to get a photo for you when I got home, and it was jittery again. I'm guessing it's something that happens at initialization and I can sometimes get lucky.

Can I help at all? I'm not current on the code base, but I am versed enough to provide whatever you need. If there is a more appropriate place to discuss it just let me know.

Is Kodi just going to release with this? Are we waiting on an ffmpeg update? Or... what?
I've been futzing about with it and the only thing I can find that alters the behavior even a bit is in CRenderManager::Render.
With an overlay on the screen, it's perfect. CPU usage suggests it's still hardware accelerated too.
If someone wants to give me a crash-course on where I should look, I'd be happy to help find the problem.

In the worst case we have to release with this - yes.

Well i can't help it atm ... Sadly there is nearly zero contribution from outside developers when it comes to those sort of bugs/problems. And in this case - apple has a play in this too by having a broken fullscreen mode with some gpus since osx 10.10

I can try to help, but would appreciate if I could get some insight into what's already known about the issue. Is the broken fullscreen mode the culprit? If so, what specifically is broken about it?
