Description of the bug

Hi,

I'm running kodi using the flatpak version on fedora kinoite. When kodi was upgraded to 20 bij flatpak the netflix videos started to give issues

• long time to start
• audio stutter downgrading to the last kodi 19 flatpak version solved the problem For those who wonder which version:

  flatpak update --commit=e15d861c08f40a370b16efe0a999b59f85727032077f6c4bdc7102336387154d tv.kodi.Kodi

there are also a lot of the following errors in the logs: error : CDVDAudio::AddPacketsRenderer - timeout adding data to renderer and even more warnings: warning : ActiveAE - large audio sync error: -25496.991293

The workaround is to downgrading the kodi version back to 19.1 Everything works smoothly again after that.

Rob

Steps to reproduce the behavior

install fedora kinoite on a nuc install flatpak kodi install netflix plugin from castagnait try to view any movie (will work but the audio will be very annoying)

downgrade to kodi 19.1

flatpak update --commit=e15d861c08f40a370b16efe0a999b59f85727032077f6c4bdc7102336387154d tv.kodi.Kodi

everything will work fine again
