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 use kodi alongside jellyfin, i find them complimentary
that said, kodi chokes on very hq files
Kodi generally chockes in the menu. Default interface is ugly, navigation is ugly, animations are slow af and laggy, settings are non-intuitive and overall stability is trash. Each time I try it - it sucks. Tried recently to setup for my dad - it's just ridiculously hard to navigate and utterly slow...
yep, its not an easy config. i use it for a specific module im trying to extend, pseudotv.
i want a cable interface created with my massive library (30k+ episodes/2.5k movies) and some IPTV channeling putting all the shows in their original broadcast channels, in original order as well as some meta channels (genre based).
cant do that with jellyfin.
I am not certainly sure if I understand "cable interface" you are referring to, but Jellyfin has IPTV support. Last time I used it was...OK. 1000+ channels, but it was somewhat working. Used with M3U playlist, no idea about other stuff implementations.
Is that kodi?
naw,
a more recent from the og project source. i dont care for the 'live' stuff as much as some..
i just want my content like its 1989
