Hi all,
I'm also experiencing the stuttering with krypton. Tested Windows 7 and Windows 10 and beta 5.
Kodi 17 is stuttering on both systems. It's getting worse when sync playback to display is enabled or if the movie contains audio which must be decoded by kodi and passthrough cannot be used. CPU load is at 40% max. Seems like having audio decoded by kodi worsens the effect.
No stuttering at all with Kodi 16.1 on both systems!
Thank you,
am

So I did try the 59Hz and although it seemed to be better the issue still exists. This is a major issue and surprised this far into development it has not been fixed. Especially since a lot of low powered device would need to use hardware acceleration.

@raidflex: Thank you for the input but this is no real option. I have Playback: Adjust display refresh rate: ON as I'm using different material (e.g. 24Hz, 50Hz ) so I need the refresh rate adjusted accordingly. For now I will stay with kodi 16.1 till the stuttering is fixed. This is the only bug left which prevents me from using krypton.

Kodi 17 beta 6:
The problem is still present on both win 10 store and win installer version. Stutter every 10 to 20 secs, crash after 20-30 min of playback. Tried with 1080p 24 FPS & 60 FPS(h.264), 2160p 24 FPS (h.264 & h.265) videos and hardware acceleration enabled; adjust refresh rate to "on Start/Stop".
My hardware:
Win 10 64bit anniversary update
i3-2120
AMD RX 460
Samsung UHD TV; HDMI 2.0
Edit: Kodi 16.1 works flawlessly

I was able to fix the problem for me by switching from "fullscreen" to "windowed mode"

I've checked RC1 and the issue is still not fixed. Also have tried an old nightly from April 2016. In that old version no stuttering at all. Also 16.1 works without issues.
I'm surprised to see RC1 with a bug having such a high impact on usability. I mean the main purpose of kodi is to play back movies/videos, but with this bug it cannot serve its main purpose. Does any one know if there's a chance to have this issue fixed?
