That's the thing... there's no right setting. 
There are settings that may/may not overcome a problem.

A good starting point would be: with kodi with all default settings, play a file:
it works? good.
Change a setting. It works? It does not work.

So the problem is how the settings interact with the video file and not the video file or kodi itself. 

Ok, that’s something we can work with. We have to start with Kodi default settings.

Starting and stopping a player 25 times in a row is not a a real world use case. 
A car can drive fine but if you turn it on, drive 2 meters, turn it off, turn it on, drive 2 meters repeat.. this is not how you drive a car and it may fail LoL

Not sure if that makes sense but I don't think it's something worth pursuing to fix.

Yes, I am aware of it not being a real world use case. That’s my final point/question in my GitHub post.

But sometimes I had the problem that a file was not starting, even though it was the first file I played after an HDMI reset and a Kodi restart.

What I think it's worth investigating is P7MEL, that's a profile used for remux correct?
Can you name one movie that has this profile so I can hunt it and test here?

We have to investigate in P7FEL and P7MEL. MakeMKV gives us both in relation to the source content.

Let me look for real movies in P7FEL/P7MEL. Will post them later.

Also does P7MEL crashes/hangs if you just start the shield and play?

Yes, that brought me to my test cases (start/play3secs/stop). I didn’t see this with any kind of file format in the past.
