Blank screen shows briefly a few seconds into playback

Hi

A few seconds into playback of a TV episode, CE shows a blank screen for a couple of seconds. There is also a few seconds of blank screen when Stop is pressed.

I’m using CE 21.2 on Minix Neo XJ22 and an LG OED TV.
The initial blank screen occurs on several TV episodes, but not on films.
The blank screen on Stop occurs much more often.
The same file plays back with no interruption on Kodi on an Android Tablet and VLC on a Windows PC. The library list also returns immediately after presing Stop with no blank delays.

Any ideas what to try?

:scream: you ever heard about frame rate switching?

I did check the settings at Recommended Kodi Settings, well those that still existed, if that’s what you meant. They were either at the default or else I tried whitelisting (which I’d never heard of before) the HD resolutions with no difference.
If those aren’t relevant to ‘frame rate switching’ then no.
