hey guys,
I just updated to kodi 17 and after the fighting and headache i got it to open up by following the directions on another thread, but i am having troubles with the video being choppy and it doesn't sync up with the sound. I'm running IOS 10.12.14 on a mac book. I've tried running it just on my laptop and through a mini DVI/HDMI cable.
hope you guys can help.
thanks!

I'm not too sure, and I'm also not sure on how to check.

Memphiz I have the same issue as the OP. I can usually figure these things out so don't really post much. But this has got me stumped. Using Jarvis I had no issues. I updated today to Krypton and have playback/audio sync issues. I am running a mid 2010 Mac mini server edition. OS X 10.12.3. NVIDIA GeForce 320M OpenGL Engine. Intel Core 2 Duo P8800 @ 2.66GHz. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nvidia vtb acceleration causes trouble atm. Disabling vtb vide acceleration might help.

Settings->videoplayer->playback (hard to tell exactly - somewhere in that area...)

Thanks for this - Kodi has been very smooth for me on a new MacBook Pro but has stuttered a bit on Apple TV 4 running 17.1 (thanks so much anyway) and was brutal when I tried it earlier today on a headless late 2010 MBAir with a core 2 duo. This fix has moved the MBAir performance way ahead of the ATV4 - surprising as the A8 should be faster.
