Did you try #719? That has a fix that looked relevant.
omxplayer is deprecated. It is limited in features compared to mmal (the video player runs on gpu so doesn't benefit from new kodi features).
It has missing features including dvds with menus, alsa audio, software decode, drm/widevine.
It's mainly intended for use on Pi0/Pi1 which have much slower arm cores.
