I have 4 Philips playbars behind my TV and I run the philips sync app together with Kodi 19.1 on my Intel Nuc with Windows 10. With sync on, Kodi crashes more often, especially with 4k movies. If I turn sync off, I have no problem.

If the Sync software is causing issues then the only fix maybe the expensive option of buying the Sync box.

After a lot of trouble getting Kodi up and running, with my philips playbars.
Finally it works by setting the resolution to 1920x1080.
Because at 3840x2160 I always had problems on my nuc.
Like micro stutter, 4k hdr movies that got stuck.

Ok turned the nuc back on and again the whole micro stutter thing.
When I play the same movie in windows everything is ok no micro stutter.
Also the colors are better then in kodi so I don't know anymore,it's driving me nuts.

Thanks for getting back to this thread, who would have guessed and it might help another thunderbolt user down the road.
Thread marked solved.
