I recently started using Kodi for my linux distro collection, but some videos look terrible in comparison to when played in VLC. See attached picture with screengrabs from VLC and Kodi of the same frame in an MKV 1080p h.265 file. What could be the issue? I didn’t change any video settings in either

    I think Kodi was amazing when it was XBMC and the only real option. It seems to be falling behind now though :-( I moved to Jellyfin a couple of years ago.

        Like day & night. But for Jellyfin you need to have a server and files stored on server. Jellyfin app is a client for your server, while Kodi is local media…player?

          With kodi, real debrid and trakt account, you can go from fresh kodi install to instantly streaming (not hosting) nearly 90% of torrent content available, in about 5 minutes. It’s not hard to do and no need to selfhost and setup the "…rr"s.

          Edit: changed 10 minutes to 5 minutes once hsve real-debrid and trskt accounts already setup.
