Kodi 17 Krypton – Unable to play videos

Hello all,

New to the forum here. Looking for some help. I have 5 completely different PCs. All running Linux Mint 17.3 with Kodi 16.1, beautifully I might add. I have updated the 3 newest PCs with Kodi 17. All 3 PCs have the same issue. None will play videos properly. Of any kind. The audio starts out fine but the video struggles to catch up. The audio soon becomes distorted and Kodi freezes. It doesn’t crash, just freezes. I have to force it to shut down. I was able to find help in reverting back to kodi 16.1, which I tried on 2 of the 3 updated PCs and had no issues. Videos play fine, everything else seems fine. One of the PCs is used completely for testing so I formatted it completely, installed Mint 17.3, ran updates, installed Kodi 17, and same video issue occurs. Is any one else having issues playing anything??

Appreciate any help or suggestions Smile
