I was having frustrating issues with Kodi on a S912 (vontar t95z plus) box runn atvxperience vH. Frames would drop from videos with certain codecs being worse. Subtitles made the frame drops much worse. The GUI was extremely sluggish and unresponsive when video was playing.
I tried the dirty regions thing and while it did fix the subtitles causing extra frame drops it overall made the frame dropping worse.
I finally figured it out tho. In the android settings -> Video Playback -> Auto Frame Rate I changed from Level 2 to Off. I then set kodi to change frame rate on start/stop. This seems to have fixed most of the frame drop issues. I no longer get bad stuttering from subtitles either.
I think the two frame rate settings where conflicting with each other. Look for that option in out Android video playback settings.
