@hoppel118 do your best to break this build and let me know.

30 tries here from P7FEL to P7MEL, no hang, no crash, using refresh rate change.
I even reduced the time between attempts to 30 seconds. 

Let the movie run for 30 seconds, stop, start a new one.

Delay zero if using refresh rate change.

I'm really curious to see how it behaves on your end.

Tried build 34 after uninstalling last week's build. Setting > Display > Refresh rate --> 23.98, Delay --> OFF, and Player > Adjust display refresh rate --> OFF.

1. Played P7 FEL, flawless playback. Let it finish and it did.
2. Played P7 MEL - got the spinning wheel. Waiting 10 more seconds didn't help. Stared backing and Kodi crashed.
3. Restarted Kodi, went back to play P7 MEL. No issues this time. Let it play for 30 secs and stopped.
4. Played P81 next, started well. After 45 secs the Atmos audio started stuttering.
5. Changed Display > Refresh rate --> 29.97 and played P81 - flawless playback. Let it play fully.
6. Played P7 FEL again and it played with some movement issues, most likely due to refresh rate mismatch.
7. Changed Player > Adjust display refresh rate --> at start/stop and played P7 FEL again. Got spinning wheel. Went back and stopped it from the Kodi home screen.
8. Played P7 MEL and it played without any issues.

So, looks like my experience is a bit different from yours. With adjust refresh rate set to OFF it appears more stable though I had issues there as well.

Thank again for trying different things for us!

I believe I know why you are getting the miss match.

I'll work something out tomorrow.

But it's improving, won't you agree?
I don't think I'll be able to fully eliminate the problem but to make it very rare to happen.

What is going on is that the decoder is still running when we try to play another movie. 
This causes the spinning wheel.

I tried with past builds to add more and more calls to close it without success.
Now I'm trying a different strategy. I'm trying to figure out what call is making the decoder stay alive after playback ends.

The reason for the miss match, I believe it's because I blocked the reset(); call, this would prevent hdmi handshack issues but are causing the stuttering you are seeing. 

I'll put it back and try a few different things. 

The hard part of this is the testing. Like I did yesterday several tries and it worked, came today and it wasn't working.. so chasing this is really hard.
