Whitelist - stumped with 720p 59.94 choppy still

Kodi
1

So I am still completely stumped on how to get this to work…

i have videos at 720p and 59.94hz and i have that listed in my whitelist. MyTV is samsung that is about 3 years old and it supports that format and resolution.

When i go to playback the video the TV reports that it is switched to 720p and 60hz and yet video is completely choppy and desynched from the audio.

I’ve tried using the GUI menu to manually change the resolution and frame rate to 1080 and 59, or 60, but no joy.

I even set my Kodi GUI at 720 and 59.94 and has the whitelist set the same and still get choppy video?

Any idea what i have set wrong?

To check this please upload kodi debug log with component specific log for audio, video and a/v timing.
Also 1 minute sample if possible.

Hrmm…have done it. It’s 9mb text document so too big to paste. Is dropbox .zip file here OK?

are there any release that it ever worked?

Provide output from following ssh commands during playback:

cat /sys/devices/virtual/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap
cat /sys/devices/virtual/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_mode

Your video is wrongly encoded. Frame dts (decode time stamp) have to be progressive and equidistance.

Frame with dts:0.901 is out of order, there was expected value: 0.884.
Pls, provide me 1 min sample. You can cut it with MKVToolNix.

Sent you a link to 1 minute clip via PM.

I confirmed the clip I sent is choppy/desynched in corelec/kodi but it plays fine in Win10x64 using any variety of video playing apps (e.g. Media Player Classic)
