I'm finding playback in 17.4 on High Sierra (iMac 13,1) to be stuttery - noticeably dropping frames at seemingly one second intervals.
This next is not a kodi problem, but I have (and is widely reported) a problem where most video files have to be verified on opening in VLC and this causes several seconds delay before playback starts. I'm speculating, but could the stuttering in kodi be a manifestation of that problem?

Updated the OS to 10.13.1 and the stutter remains. To my eye it looks very regular intervals.

Can confirm that the OS update removed all problems playing back HD recordings.
I had to switch off hardware acceleration though.
My system is MacBook Air 2013.

Unfortunately I am experiencing the same problem on my Macbook featuring a nVidia 320m.
As far as I understand the problem is arising in Kodi v17 because the video player is now using the ffmpeg library.
Would it be possible to port the workarounds present in Kodi v16 to ffmpeg to fix playback on our hardware?

V16 uses a different and deprecated api...

This problem still exists in Kodi Leia. VTB turned off seems to help a little but the problem is still there. I don't think I've ever had Kodi working without this issue on my Mac Mini from 2012. Highly annoying problem.
