drd 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2017 KODI 17.3 stuttering Wow! I just might be the only person on the planet who currently owns one of these models. I'm never first at anything usually. I am new to Android boxes in general having migrated from a WD TV Live Plus which I've use for many years. When I first bought the ATV 329X I immediately upgraded KODI to 17.3 from the 17.1 version that came pre-installed. I can't offer a comparison between the two because I've never tried 17.1, but I notice a stutter on all videos I attempt to play either streamed from an online source or from my network shares. I haven't yet tried from internal or external storage. A visit to a KODI support site suggests in several ways that such problems are usually with firmware and that it is best to contact the support site of the manufacturer, so here I am. I realize this is a new product and I will be patient, but thought I'd bring it to someone's attention in case there is a solution, workaround or knowledge of an update waiting in the wings. Thanks!

If you want, you can try a factory reset to see if that helps Please note it will delete everything you have installed onto your box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is created by the original Android developer from Team Kodi, so good to know it is working better for you now. We will have to look more into this Kodi issue still though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amex 2 Report post Posted September 28, 2017 The most recent and stable version of Kodi is 17.4 which might be the fix for your problem. I would try uninstalling 17,3 version first and then install Kodi 17.4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pango 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2017 I'm having the stuttering issue as well, using kodi 17.6 and also another on demand streaming app from my cable company. Both have stuttering issues. I am using an older android box on another tv and I'm not having these issues. I tried searching the forum for users that reported it working but I haven't been able to find any. I'm starting to thing I should return this box and go to a different vendor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcs2229 8 Report post Posted November 26, 2017 Each new Kodi version brings problems on lots of Android boxes and various Kodi settings have to be adjusted. Google "kodi stuttering android" for lots of info and possible fixes. If you do not want to spend the time and effort, just return the box and don't think about it any more.

pango 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2017 If it was only kodi stuttering I'd look into it more, but it's not. This was more of an impulse buy. That's where I went wrong. Had I looked into it first I would have seen YouTube reviews showing the stuttering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drd 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2018 I haven't visited this thread for awhile, but Tom 2112 hit it on the head: I am using the current version SPMC and have used it for the past several months and it has always worked great. I stopped worrying about everything else after that, as SPMC seems to have all the same functionality and compatibility, and that's the point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
