kodi version 16.1 rc2
default confluence skin
tried kodi Version 16.0

tried several other skins and Render Method always grayed out, setting level I tried Advanced and Expert

I booted into DMBC for a test based on kodi and the option wasn't grayed out

Team-Kodi Developer says its not kodi but something added by droidbox

thank you all !!
Droidbox TS-8 Plus ,OpenElec 6.0

I suspect this is related to amlogic processors rather than anything droidbox are doing to the settings. It is also greyed out on my dbmc v 16.3.

Btw you might want to get the production version of kodi from google play or kodi tv. 16.1 rc2 is a pre-release version.

ok used googleplay to load up Kodi 16.1 and appears I Now have more options under Acceleration.

Which fixed my playback stutter issues.

Wish we had more control over render method, had I know that limitation I wouldn't of bought this.

THANK YOU very much Niglear, you saved me from having to return my droidbox for refund :). I HOPE> still more testing needed

Glad it worked.
Hi Michael. This limitation would apply to all android boxes using amlogic processors (I.e. Most of them) so short of shelling out loadsamoney for an nvidia shield I don't know what you would have bought as an alternative. Anyway enjoy your box. They are fine.

Keep in touch with the forum Michael and ask questions. I learnt loads from the forum. The search facility can help too, if someone has asked the question before.
