Genesis video problem

What version of xbmc do you have, check by going system and then underneath system info and at the bottom right corner should have the name and number....ie 12.3 Frodo or 13.2 Gotham. If its Frodo then its now not supported on here as its now got the dependancies not met, you can go to program's and check in add-on installer to see if they have the latest version here if it has install it. I've checked and not yet but keep checking back.
If its Gotham try reinstalling the add-on, go to system then add-ons then get add-ons, then scroll down to Lambda add-on repo. Click on it then go video add-ons, scroll to Genesis and click on it and uninstall. Wait then reinstall it, this might work for you. If you go to the lambda repo and there's nothing, go back and hover over lambda and press the menu on your remote, then click force refresh. Wait and then click on it, this should refresh the repo.
Good luck and hope you under stand this.

Can you check what version of Genesis you are running, go system, then add-ons, then get add-ons and scroll down to lambda again and go in and click on Genesis. It should show you the add-on information, the latest version is 4.8.3.....if you don't have this try going back and like before hover over and press menu and click check for updates. This should start spinning and update.
Does Phoenix work ok and other add-ons , if you are having load s of problems , I would clear data and re-run the wizard.

Thanks. I am running the latest version. Just to clarify, I can watch SD video fine but have problems with HD streams which run slowly or stutter and video and audio is not in sync. This problem is on all video add ons not just genesis.
Sorry for the bother but how do I clear data and rerun the wizard?

Acceleration Method is Hardware accelerated and hightlight all underneath. Good luck and hope it works for you.

Resetting XBMC's data - http://www.droidboxforums.com/threads/resetting-xbmc-to-a-just-installed-state.27/
I would first try going to XBMC's userdata folder (reboot, then open the ES File Explorer app from the master list of all apps (My Apps, Apps or circle with six dots), expand the LOCAL menu, select HOME, click the Android folder, then Data, then one that has XBMC in it, then the FILES directory.
It will appear empty probably
Expand the TOOLS menu on the left hand side, and turn on Shown Hidden Files. You'll now see a .xbmc folder, please click it, then the userdata folder
Delete the advancedsettings.xml file you see in there.
Now open XBMC up and test HD streams in Genesis. If this hasn't helped, then send us an e-mail and please link to this thread so the staff dealing will know what has been tried already. http://www.droidboxforums.com/threads/what-to-include-if-you-need-to-e-mail-us.364/

Try high lighting them one at a time, starting from the top one. I have all three high lighted and HD is nice and smooth, but if I unhigh light them it goes like you where saying.
In android setting have you set your tvs resolution to 1080 and 60hz and check audio settings too. Then go to xbmc and check in system, then system that its the same and try again.
At the side in system setting in xbmc you have setting level if you click on here and change it to expert.
I would leave Hardware acceleration on and highlight all underneath to. If this doesn't work then I've ran out of ideas so good look and hope you get this sorted soon.

Instead of changing resolution in Kodi(XBMC),try to change resolution of your device!!!
Out if xbmc does show box work ok.
You could try and use another player, in apps I think there the MX player see if that works. If not the only thing a can say is wait for SilentlyScreaming. He's back on Tuesday I think. The rest if the droidbox team are about and they might have some other things for you to try.
Good luck
