Hello,

I have an issue since i installed the first release of Kodi 18 (since several month) : video playback is jerky randomly : it can be fine for tens of minutes and then, jerky for others tens of minutes, with jerk like video pauses ! With somes videos it seems to be jerk all the time.

I found a workaround by enabling DXVA : it seems to be ok but for some reasons i prefer not use it if possible, and for some videos DXVA isn't used so i disabled it and i'm trying to found the cause.

I tested a lot of things like :

• disabling a lot of my windows process (even if Kodi wasn't using all my CPU)
  
• closing others applications
  
• changing Kodi full screen mode
  
• changing gpu buffer numbers in kodi ( 2, 3)
  
• disabling add-ons
  
• changing "adjust display refresh rate"from "always" to "never" or "start/stop"
  
  

Nothing helped.

By checking dropped and skipped frames in Kodi (CTRL + SHIFT + O), when the issue visually occurs : there are a lot of skipped frames.

This is a debugging log when the issue occurs : majelusoku.kodi (paste)

For this debugging log i did :

• start Kodi
  
• disable DXVA
  
• play a video : got a lot of visual jerks and skipped frames (CTRL + SHIFT + O)
  
• stop video
  
• enable DXVA
  
• play the same video : none visual jerk and none skipped frames
  
• stop video
  
• quit kodi
  

I'm on Kodi 18.8 and Windows 7.

Thanks

Hi,
I don't have the issue anymore since several month... I'm actually on Kodi 19.4.
