I’m experiencing this issue since quite some time (probably since I installed v17) where the playback would just stop randomly when playing videos. It can happen 2 – 3 times when watching a TV show, or sometimes not at all. Tonight was really bad, I watched a movie and had to resume at least 5 – 6 times.
Specs wise, I run the latest Kodi 17 beta on an NVIDIA Shield. Passthrough is enabled for everything. Tonight I was watching a Dolby Atmos movie (even if my receiver only outputs 5.1 from it) but the bug happens even with simple AAC soundtracks. I have refresh rate switching enabled but it happens even with it’s disabled. My shield runs in 4K all the time.
I tried to make the bug happen with Kodi debugging enabled, but I couldn’t reproduce it while I tried. So tonight I was watching a movie in normal mode and since it happened a lot, I noted the time and decided to go have a look at the logs around that time to see if I could see something even with debugging disabled..
Here is what I found around the time it happened :

Do you have any idea what can cause this?
Thanks
