Hi all.

I am using Kodi 21 on a Homatics Box R 4K Plus with ATV 12.

Since Kodi 21 I have encountered the following problem: When I play a 4k video, after about 12 - 15 minutes of playback, Kodi starts dropping frames. It always starts with just dropping a few frames every few seconds, but then it gets worse until the whole video is heavily stuttering and only running at 17-20 fps.

I have only encountered this issue since Kodi 21 and only with 4k (HDR?) videos, not with lower bitrate 1080p content.
I play the files over a wired 1Gbit connection from my Jellyfin server using the Jellyfin Kodi addon, but this issue also occurred with local files from an external HDD connected directly to the TV box.
I already tried to change the cache sizes (20M, 128M, 192M, 256M), unfortunately without success.

I have created the following debug log: narigeyefu (paste)
I started the log, then started the video and let it run until it started to heavily stutter.

I hope this helps to get the issue resolved.

Kind regards

Your jellyfin installation runs amok and tries to load its settings, which it cannot find every some milliseconds ...

Thanks for your reply!
I'll then report this to the Jellyfin developers.

Kind regards

Hello again,

I reinstalled Kodi and did not reinstall the Jellyfin addon. Unfortunately, the issue persists exactly as described in my first post, even without the Jellyfin addon.

I generated a new logfile here: ziruvivuva (paste)

@fritsch maybe you can take another look with the new circumstances.

Kind regards

Yeah looks ugly. No idea.
