Hi Everyone,

I'm having issues with Kodi for the last two months when it comes to video playback. I can't play videos neither online nor local, it keeps freezing every second. The audio seems to work fine, but the image freezes and keeps buffering as if the video was been streaming on a bad internet connection.

I have tried everything from uninstalling/reinstalling to reconfigure the video settings and all.

I'm running Kodi on Mac OSX v10.9.5 Mavericks. I never had this issue before; I was using Kodi v17.1 I tried to upgrade to v17. 3 to see if the issue was solved, but it remained even with alpha v18.

Has anyone had this issue before and could solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Hello nasir.jones,

You will need to provide a debug log which captures the stuttering issue. Instructions are in my signature below. Use the Basic method.

tl;dr: Try disabling HW video acceleration & dithering. If that doesn't help, downgrade to 16.1.

And on a click of a button, everything got back to normal. I have disabled video acceleration.

Thank you so much. Really made my day

Cheers!
