Probably because N2 has a different hardware renderer, that’s why I asked you to play those videos with software decoding…
Sounds very reasonable.
@felixob, you did a really thorough test, may I ask you to do a test with this file with software decoding since I don’t have access to my hardware for a couple of days, and I can later check the other movies?
I played the sample on the N2 with software decoding. It plays OK.
But I have to note that the S905X3 box plays also OK in Kodi Android with hardware acceleration. And it doesn’t plays OK with CE.
I found a patch. And I will add it later in tomorrow nightly.

i also encounter some problems. i have a problem with a austrian stream (orf1/orf2) but all other works fine. also, i have some problems with a couple of 4k files that played about half a year ago without problems. i provided a sample to ray, maybe it is related?
@Ray maybe related to my problem?
Your file is h265. Not sure what your austian streams are.
ok. orf1 has:
Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264)
Resolution: 1280x720
(sry, i know of the following only the german names)
Bildwiederholrate (probably refresh rate?): 50
Grundfarben: ITU-R BT.709
So I tested your file with the change. As expected it is h265 and it still has the issue you know of.
Here is a test build with the fix from @boot2k3

Tested the sample clip with the latest nightly and it works perfectly.

tested the orf1/orf2 streams from init7 iptv. hoped that this would maybe fix that too, but it didnt.
Upload a sample(1-2 minutes) of this stream to check it.

I don’t see any issue with this record. Do you have any issue with it?
Thanks a lot @Ray and @boot2k3. I will get back home next Monday unfortunately, but I will test also. But I know that @Compent knows his stuff so it feels comfortable if he says it is working.
I will install the nightly, I guess it will be included in the next main release also (if there are no more reports that the patch have negative impacts)?
tbh: i did not test the .raw file on kodi. now i did. also without any problem. the difference is that i stored that file with vlc, i dont know if vlc changed something in it what the stream does not have (e.g. adding some kind of meta information etc.).
when i play the stream with vlc on my pc i have no problems.
when i play the stream on kodi, it stutters. i can create a little video of it if required.
and affected is only orf1 and orf2, all other (about 200 channels) work as expected.
maybe its a problem with the iptv addon.
Without sample it could be not so easy to repeat…
but yes, dmesg, kodi debug log, and video of issue with ToggleDebug OSD enabled may be could say something.
@anon26735799, are you having the same issue that I did with certain files that don’t work on N2 but do work on S912? If the issue isn’t the same although similar, I guess it would be good to keep the threads apart?
sorry for overtaking your thread 
i thought its the same problem but seems like its a different one
How you access the ORF streams as they are geographical locked.
