Your solution with the gnome-terminal parameter is a very nice workarround!

I wouldn't call it a workaround as it is needed to display the dialog. It would be a workaround if i could capture the text and insert in in a GUI-window...

But when I start RetroPie now, it closes Kodi, opens the Terminal and Emulationstation and Kodi appears again, so I have 3 windows open. Is it possible to stop Kodi from launching till Emulationstation is closed?

Have you readded your own fix for the multiple-kodi-session problem? Because after implementing this kodi is closed on my box, but never automatically reopened. I have to use the mouse to restart kodi, but this is by far the least worst thing. I live with it until i find a better solution
Maybe we could implement a service that autostarts kodi after some time if no other program and/or window are open

I followed the steps of your bash_history and created the /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the content of yours and it works better now. I will spectate it the days but seems to be fine now.

nice to hear

I think I updated the BIOS but today I'm not really shure, here are some specs that I found in the BIOS' main page:

BIOS Information:
Project Version: B219P 020 x64
Build Date and Time: 11/28/2014

TXE Information:
Sec RC Version: 00.05.00.00
TXE FW Version: 01.01.02.1120

I tried a lot of operating systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Kodibuntu, Windows 8.1, OpenELEC and LibreELEC) and everytime I had an issue with the frames. This is the first time it works.

Strange, i've updated the bios once i got my ZBox and Kodibuntu was running perfectly while OpenELEC froze after some time (missing Kernel-Parameter as i know now), but running smoothly at video playback

I looked after the platic thing on the heat platform but there was only this green heat transfer thing on it.
No worries about the warranty, the Zbox has more than 2 years and I think here in Germany after this time its already gone.

I'm from Germany too, so english would not be necessary, but in an english forum...

The shuttering was in all of my tested videos. I think it was in place all the time but in the videos I could see it clearly.
I tested it with Netflix in Google-Chrome and from a UPNP-server (Serviio) transcoding a mkv-video with 1080p.

Which is exactly the other way i use it for. Why do you transcode the mkv before playing, as kodi could play it directly from a samba share and import it in it's database?
The database could also be located at the streaming server for network usage

I dont know what you mean with the refresh-rate multiplier? Is it a setting in the Kodi-configs?

I mean playing a 25fps video with a refresh rate of 25Hz or a multiple of it(50 or 75Hz)
