I have 2x4K firesticks with KODI loaded on each. All my mkv video files play fine on one firestick but NOT all play fine on the other Firestick.
One which does not play properly on one stick exhibits truly awful AV sync - it varys between 3 and 9 full seconds out (3000-9000ms !!). When I pause the movie the video keeps playing for some seconds (1000's of milliseconds). Very occasionally on resuming playback the video is almost synced but soon gets wildly out.
I've checked that the playback settings are identical on both Firesticks and am my wits end to figure why the file in question plays fine one 4k firestick but not the other.
On the stick which exhibits this issue I can tell immediately if the file is going to play properly simply by pausing playback - if the video doesn't stop immediately I know the AV sync will be way off.
The issue doesn't appear to be network related as the issue occurs regardless of whether the firesticks are on wireless or wired.
What the heck is going on ?!!
