I received this stick on Friday and have been testing Kodi on it ever since. I've been having issues with 480p content not playing smoothly. High bitrate 1080p(both h264 and h265) content works fine. But it struggles with my old 480p 700mb files.
SPMC 16.7.4 with both Mediacodec and Mediacodec Surface disabled plays my 480p content fine. I tried changing the same settings with Kodi Leia latest RC but it didn't work. I also tried playing this content with the Plex Android app and it stuttered the same as Kodi.
I don't mind using SPMC for now, but eventually I'll have to switch, with it not being updated anymore. Also, the CPU is really working hard on higher bitrate content with these settings. I didn't even get 4k content.
More info: Fire TV Stick 4K - Sony AVR - LG 1080p TV. I do have adjust display refresh rate enabled and working.
