I have noticed something slightly strange that has gone on for a while. If I watch some low bitrate h264 movies and skip around in them for a bit. Then the CPU speed goes down to 600 MHz. If I then try play a more challenging 10bit Hevc movie then it won't play properly because the CPU speed does not seem to recover to 1200 MHz. If I restart Kodi, the CPU speed recovers to 1200 MHz and all my files play fine. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?

The rules for going to turbo (1200MHz) mode are any arm core is above 50% busy and temperature not too high (i.e. no thermometer symbol).
Can you ssh in and check with top what the arm cores are doing?

What happens if you force a core to be busy? Does frequency jump up? e.g.

Code:

while : ; do true; done
