All Kodi Krypton versions I was using have excactly the same problem.
Video starts fine and sometimes after pasuing it for a couple of mintues or seeking video the frame rate drops and it doesn't go back to normal until I press stop and play video once more.
This also happens without doing anything.
I'm using an Amlogic S905X device with 2GB RAM.
Videos are played by local network (SMB).
I'm out od ideas. Tried to change everything in the settings. Nothing helps.
Last thing I didn't test is to play video from USB.
But older versions of Kodi don't have that problem.
So it must be a Kodi Krypton bug.

Hmmm, interesting then if its more than just AMLogic Android Hardware.
I will have a look around and see if this issue goes further than just Android Krypton. Other OS's running Krypton may have similar issues.

I will bump this once again. Kodi 17 and 17.1RC still exhibit this issue. To me feels like if the video needs to buffer the video never recovers gracefully. I see stuttering video while the audio remains good, I see frozen screen with a slow growing buffer that eventually fills but the video never plays again, or I see the stream completely stop. Am I the only one seeing this play out (or not playing) on Android

i get the same issue on 18 alpha (all of them!) on ubuntu 16.04 linux with atom1 (x86_64) chipset playing files over nfs4 with gige. so no way its just an amlogic/android/streaming bug,
if i pause a video it stutters on un-pause straight away and doesn't get better. stopping it and starting again works fine. i think once i managed to make the stuttering go by bringing up one of the menu's (e.g. audio settings) so its like its an overlay or refresh bug that's fixed when its forced to draw something new to the screen.
in fact i don't get the problem when playing youtube or iplayer, just files. so can rule out streaming or bandwidth.
kodi 17 all the way back to 12 worked fine on exact same setup so not hardware/os/network/gpu/arm either.
i seemed to get the problem as soon as the linux nightlies switched from 17 (maybe rc4?) to 18 alpha, also just tried 17.1 which seems to have the problem too.
