Hi Everyone,
Are there any tips on making Kodi provide better video playback on DietPi v6.17?
I get very bad juttering when watching 1080p video, its like the frame rate isn't consistent at all times.
When using the old Kodi v16, I didn't experience these kind of issues.
Any help appreciated, maybe there's a setting I'm overlooking.
Thanks!

You need to assign more memory to GPU, edit the config.txt in DietPi/ folder like this:
DietPi by default assigns only 256MB to GPU, which are not enough.

Code: Select all
gpu_mem_1024=512

Which device do you actually use? It also depends on the GPU acceleration drivers that Kodi/the system offers/uses. On RPi however it should work out of the box and the increased gpu_mem share, advices by nicosea is worth a try.
If it solved the issue, I think we will increase this by default to 512M on >=1024M devices.

Hi MichaIng,
I am using a Pi 3 b+ and increasing gpu_mem share to 512mb solved all problems of frame losses or even black screen. Libreelec and OSMC have gpu_mem share to 512mb, I got the idea from there.
