The problem appears to be related to Android Platform.

*Using KODI 17.6 Default Player (internet BW - 65Mb) & Prime time eastern std. time.
Very noticeable Jitter (stop&go), Bit slips,(1 frame gets stuck and next frames play through the 1st image), Video goes out of sync with audio, and Video goes slow motion while audio continues normally.

*Using Perfect Player & VLC (Android)
Problem reveals itself as a 1-3 second pause, then continues for ~15 sec's then repeats.

*Using Kodi 17 on PC Platform
No problem occurs. ???

Reading up on it.

Ken thank you. that is the problem I am having on kodi freezing every 5 to 10 in a show.(1)I am using iptvxtra with the issue. (2)I might need to hook my iptv box back up

(1a)Me Friend is using the IPTVXtra without any problems...!

(2a) Sounds like a Plan if kodi is giving You problems or You can Re-Do Kodi all over again...!

I have 4 boxes. 2 using Kodi 7.
2 Using live tv, and it is the same problem like this on all 4.
My Internet works perfect. So there needs fixing of the servers coming to us I say.

Confirmed this is an android problem and is related to decoding of h.264 encoded 1080 video streams.
Most Android OS variants no longer have enabled code for AMCodecs, only MediaCodec & MediaCodec (Surface)
This then requires software decoding of 1080 h.264 streams, causing most processors to run at over 400% (multiple core usage), causing video output to be non-contiguous, (full of errors!!!).

Just passing along the knowledge...

Tried but no luck.

Tried also and no change so it must be on their end. Papaio confirmed last week in an email that they are trying to get things back to normal as soon as possible after I told them the HD channels were in slow motion, freezing, pixelating, etc for weeks.
