Platform: Win32 and Android ARMv7 and AARCH64
Tested with Kodi 17 Krypton Builds Beta 5,6,7 and Kodi v18

With every Video-Plugin (e.g. pvr.zattoo, ZattooBox, ZattooBoxExtended, MagineTV, TVSpielfilm, etc.) video streams start with a delay of 6-10 secs!
First a frozen picture of the stream appears after ~2 secs, and then the audio begins to starts. After another ~8 secs the frozen video-picture begins to starts, too.
In Kodi 16.x the same streams start immediately (audio + video same time).
Here’s the log:
