Maybe you have to setup whitelist of resolution/refresh rate in Settings->System->Display.

Disabling that option does not make sense, you won't get smooth playing of videos. I've that option always on!

Very weird... I would expect losing image but not a full crash ...

Anyway i only care for "true cinema" frame rate on my Blu-ray's (24fps) and for those i use an LG Blu-ray player.

For other sources I've always used 60fps output... So for now its not a problem.

Off topic: I've tested a 1080p HEVC movie rip and it works better than on my desktop :o. Its looks perfect. What kind of magic is going on here?

Yep, 1080p HEVC support was usable starting with Kodi Krypton and was optimized for Leia. A lot of inline assembly and cooperation with MMAL acelleration made it possible to play 1080p HEVC smoothy

You are a genius mate

How did you manage to get better performance on quad core ARMv7 @ 1.4GHz (don't know how many IPC and MIPS on a Cortex A53 and i noticed you are not using the ARMv8 advantages this cores have or am i wrong? This is still a 32 bit build right?) that i have on a x86-64 quad core AMD clocked @ 3.2 GHz ( 4 SMTs also) ? Plus the VideoCore IV is a joke compared to my desktop GPU and still...

Kudos. I would love to know and understand how you manage this.

And a big thank you for all the work
