Various Video Issues in Version 17

I would like to preface this post with the fact that I understand this software is free and honestly appreciate that the developers are aware and willing to provide updates that solve potential security flaws.

Issues identified with the most recent version of Kodi:

Streaming video stutters/lags/skips when using a secondary application or when typing in another program on a secondary monitor. CPU/disk/network usage is normal. Issue not present in version 16. Re-installation of version 16 solves this problem.

Streaming video stutters exactly every 30 minutes for about 10-15 seconds. CPU/disk/network usage is normal. Anti-virus is scan clean, no anomalous processes, and I am unable to identify any network abnormalities. Issue not present in version 16. Re-installation of version 16 solves this problem.

Skipping to the end or past the end of a streaming video to trigger the next video causes an unexpected issue where video pauses, but progress indicator perpetually continues past the allotted time index. User interaction is required to stop or skip to the next video. Issue not present in version 16. Re-installation of version 16 solves this problem.

What happened to the video/buffer info provided by pressing ‘O’? This helped the user quickly identify whether an internet source was capable of streaming continuously. Bit-rate info has also been removed which aided in this endeavor.

Any insight into things I may have overlooked or constructive conversation that could help lead to solutions would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
