Video Stuttering Isues.

I’m a long time MediaPortal user, just migrated to Kodi.

In a nutshell, I’m having severe video Stuttering issues playing MKVs (1080p, x264) in Kodi’s internal/default video player.

I had none of these issues in MediaPortal with the exact same hardware/software.

Brief overview:
Intel i7-6800k (Broadwell-E) @ 4Ghz
Nvidia GTX 1080 (Asus Rog Strix)
16GB DDR4 @ 2400Mhz

Windows 10 Pro x64
Windows 10 Anniversary update.
Kodi v17 Nightly build.

My HTPC is connected to Yamaha RX-A2000 Reciever via HDMI (No Video Processing).
This is connected to Epson 5010 Project projector via HDMI. Same setup as with MediaPortal.

My projector does not support 24Hz refresh rate, only 60Hz. So I understand that 24hz videos, which is most of the MKVs, are playing at 60hz. This however was not a problem with MediaPortal. Video playback was smooth.

I don’t have “Adjust refresh rate” or “Sync playback to display” enabled.

DVXA2 enabled or disabled didn’t make a difference.

Not sure. Looking for advice.

Thanks. [/align]
