I'm not sure when the problem started, I haven't updated for a week or so.
I can easily reproduce the refresh rate issue by switching to any TV channel or playing an interlaced video.

Sample

Thanks, but still can't reproduce.

I normally have OMX disabled/MMAL enabled, and the Kodi codec info (using MMAL) shows the sample as being a 25fps video (no refresh rate change despite my display being set to 60Hz).

However if I enable OMX, the codec info (now using OMX) shows 50fps for the sample, and it changes refresh rate.

But no black screen though (only during the refresh rate change which takes 2-3 few seconds).

I also just tested your sample on LibreELEC Generic (NUC6i56SYH, streaming over SMB over WiFi) and noticed that smb:// streaming is now totally shagged since PR13401 in #0123, so I may try reverting the chunk size change, or using 64KB as we do with RPi. Playing your sample in #0123 gives:

Code:

04:58:00.985 T:140680139622144   ERROR: Read - Error( -1, 103, Software caused connection abort )

and I also get similar errors when navigating smb:// folders:

#0122 is totally fine.

Edit: Tested #0123 with a 1Gbit wired connection and getting the same "Software caused connection abort" errors, so not WiFi related.
