Poor video playback quality on Kodi (szmer.info)

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

Dedicated music app: Not 1st party. But there are projects like Finamp and Gelli
Music filtering? Not that I am aware of. Just basic functionality
Sonic analysis? No. Sounds like a very specific use case
4k amd/or 265.h performance? You mean transcoding? If yes: Just as much as ffmpeg can utilize your GPU.
Utility to see usage per person? Nope. Basic usage stats though
Limit remote user? No. But That can be probably coded if theres enough demand.
Watch Together? Yep. But never had a reason to try it so YMMV
Has an app? The 1st party on is on anything that has Android on it (Android mobile and TV)
Native DVR? Yes but I can't really gauge how good it works.

That’s something people use fairly frequently (generate a music playlist from all albums with “Christmas” in the title)

It’s not; I’m guessing you don’t know what it is so hand waved it away as something people don’t use.

4k amd/or 265.h performance? You mean transcoding? If yes: Just as much as ffmpeg can utilize your GPU.

Nope; how is the 4k and x265 playback experience.

Utility to see usage per person? Nope. Basic usage stats though

That’s not great.

Limit remote user? No. But That can be probably coded if theres enough demand.

I have that with a 3rd party utility with Plex.

Watch Together? Yep. But never had a reason to try it so YMMV

Great

Has an app? The 1st party on is on anything that has Android on it (Android mobile and TV)

What about Samsung TVs? Roku? AppleTV? Firestick? TIZEN?

Native DVR? Yes but I can't really gauge how good it works.
