Hi there,
I am hoping someone can help me. Maybe @fritsch 
I am aware that there have been various threads posted on a similar subject and some test builds which are supposed to fix a similar issue, however these test builds don’t seem to work for me.
My setup:
h/w: Xiaomi Mi box 3 (Xiaomi_Mi_Box (wiki))
tvheadend: 4.3-32~g696e17d51
kodi: 7.1 from Google Play (although i have tried various versions of kodi/spin offs)
Symptoms:
Videos play perfectly fine for me – log https://pastebin.com/tfVpWkEL
Live TV does not seem to play with Android Media Codec – log https://pastebin.com/C6ukLNzW
Recorded TV plays the same – no Android Media Codec playback
As a result the image scaling seems bad and playback judders.
My intel based libreelec system plays the tvheadend content fine.
Here is a link to a sample video – https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B87WYQ…DZNV21nWTQ
Is there anything else i can provide?
I have tried the following build which also have the same result:
kodi-20170411-91c472b-notsoshitty-armeabi-v7a
kodi-20170107-2cda76f-mediacodec-armeabi-v7a
SPMC (latest)
