Okay, so what can be the problem with video stuttering that used to work well on kodi 16?
I'm trying out local videos and I get the problem.
Thank you.

your device may has no enough CPU resources when hardware decoding is disabled. otherwise it may be a driver issue.

I'm having the same issue, jerky video with DXVA2 enabled, smoother (but still not perfect) with hardware accel disabled in 17.0. With 16.0 everything was perfectly smooth with DXVA2. I have a fairly old motherboard with integrated ATI/AMD HD3200 graphics, running on Win7x64. Currently also works perfectly smooth with external players (MPC-HC and ZoomPlayer) and hardware acceleration.
My guess is that there's not going to be much relief going forward for older hardware. I believe the rendering system for Kodi 17 was rewritten to be compliant with Directx 11 for newer hardware, with backward compatibility for older Directx9 hardware that "is-what-it-is".
Drivers for my legacy video card have not been updated since 2013.
It would be great if it continued to work with newer versions forever into the future, but I can understand that progress means certain things become obsolete.
It would also be great if this truly was a simple glitch in the newer renderer that the Dev's could discover and fix, but I don't hold much hope for that. Most likely will need to update to more modern hardware to use DXVA2 going forward.
Cheers

I have a slightly different problem. Kodi17 does not switch the TV to 25p and 29p mode, it switches to 50P and 60P, respectively. 23P and 24P without problems.

Awesome answers: it work fine in kodi 16 but no in 17 - you have no resources (with a PC with 8gb RAM, some GHz)
Kodi 17 have some problem of frame skip that disappears when OSD is displayed.
