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
Oh but this solution defeats the purpose of even using Kodi doesn't it? This isn't switching engines, but rather forcing Kodi to open files in an external application
Not useful on AndroidTV since VLC doesn't use the same post-processing capabilities as it has on the desktop.
You are better off playing with post processing in Kodi. But usually devices running AndroidTV simply don't have the compute power for it.
