Hello everyone,
I really need some help. I have read all the threads on this subject, but my problems is I didn't understand any of the procedures some people have done to fix this problem.
I have Mac Mini early 2009, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB, and recently upgraded to OSX El Capitan, and I have downloaded Kodi 17.1.
It is not working at all, complete slow motion video playback, while sound is perfectly fine.
Now if someone would be so kind to explain me step by step how could i fix this problem. My computer related language or abilities are really terrible but I really love Kodi and would love to be able to enjoy it again.

No fix for this yet for macs with nvidia or amd graphics. Use kodi 16.1 instead..

I have AMD graphics in my MacBook Pro 2015 and 17 runs fine. It's the older hardware that has issues. Plex had the same problem with the early betas of plex media player which now can accommodate older hardware for hardware acceleration along with newer hardware.

Old engine doesn't fit in the new videoplayer design. Its all not that easy as you guys might think.

No i would not because its to much to write. The reasons mght be explained in the development/videoplayer forum though.

Just give few pros of the new video player please. Because for me, an end user, I dont see, yet, why the new video player. Personally, I would love to understand the reason which would take away some pain on the need to spend 700$ on a new mac mini.

Had the same problem on an old 2009 macbook with 17.1. I turned off hardware acceleration and its working ok now. Settings > Playback > Video.
