v18 Kodi 18 (and RC 18.1) Video Stuttering issues [Android 6 / Amlogic S905X]
#76
Is 18.2+ going to include some kind of a fix, or just the capability to software decode selected codecs?
With 18.0 there were no issues of this kind, so I assume it's not hw issue?

You are certainly mistaken, v18 already had these problems!

I've changed to coreelec and it's a complete different experience! Much faster

OK. Still, is there going to be a fix? If it were general S905/S912 hw problem, it should have surfaced years ago.

In my case I think it's the crappy Android firmware of my box to blame.
I resorted to CoreElec (on a SD) and Kodi now runs smoothly without issues.

https://coreelec.org/  
 I've just put the CoreElec ISO and dtb on a flash drive here at work, and will test on my x96 s905x when I get home. I did reinstall 17.6 locally yesterday (backup wouldn't go backwards so rebuilding media database... fun times), so I'll see how CoreElec goes from flash drive first.  
 You will love the smoothness of CoreElec.
Make sure you follow the guide regarding the remote files ( check here: https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/coreele...-files/363 ) and generally have a look at the CoreElec forums for tips and help.
I have also rolled back to Kodi 17.6 on Android (I had kept a backup before the update to 18.x). So I have dual boot, but to be honest, Kodi Leia on CoreElec is so smooth that I don't even remember when was the last time I used Kodi on Android after that. 

Ok, I can't get CoreElec to boot. It just sits there at the x96 boot screen forever. I've tried multiple USB drives, multiple builds (both s905x and s905w), multiple dtb files and get the same result. I'm able to boot into recovery with no USB drive plugged in, so it's the image. What image files/dtb files are people using to get a successful boot?

On mine H96Pro+ (s912) I didn't manage to boot Coreelec from USB. Try to use MicroSD instead. It worked for me.

Use an Sdcard instead

I am on Android TV (Xiaomi MiBox S), using the latest Kodi nightly (kodi-20190412-36bf9e04-master-armeabi-v7a) and i modified my decoderfilter.xml as follows in order to workarround the problem:

<filter>
        <name>OMX.amlogic.mpeg2.decoder.awesome</name>
        <allowed>true</allowed>
        <stills-allowed>false</stills-allowed>
        <dvd-allowed>true</dvd-allowed>
        <min-height>600</min-height>
    </filter>
<filter>
        <name>OMX.amlogic.mpeg4.decoder.awesome</name>
        <allowed>true</allowed>
        <stills-allowed>false</stills-allowed>
        <dvd-allowed>true</dvd-allowed>
        <min-height>600</min-height>
    </filter>
<filter>
        <name>OMX.google.mpeg4.decoder</name>
        <allowed>false</allowed>
        <stills-allowed>false</stills-allowed>
        <dvd-allowed>false</dvd-allowed>
        <min-height>600</min-height>
    </filter>

Now, i can see that peak3d has committed  some Amlogic fixes today into Kodi, https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/15859, does anybody know if these also tackle the video stuttering issues of this thread?

Copy this file: https://www.filedropper.com/decoderfilter to your Kodi userdata folder (Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/)

This file describes the codecs used for every video file. I have modified mine, according instructions in this thread, to use software decoding for older sd quality files, so that there is no stuttering in playback of these files.
I have provided the path for the file in my previous post, it is in Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/, so you have to download the file from my previous post and then paste it in the userdata directory, it is that simple, but you really have to know how to copy-paste a file into Android: Download a file manager to your Android box (e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...ilemanager), then copy & paste the file into Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/

Ok. I have the file manager. Just trying to figure out how to copy and paste.

Do I just copy the link or do I need to download that file. Then copy something
