I'm not sure.  I recall way back when, when I first started using MythTV
(around 0.17 I think), I had an issue with my two ABC stations.  The video
played extremely fast and the audio wasn't even close to in sync.  Then I
discovered a setting (I forget what it is now and don't even know if it's
needed anymore) that when checked, fixed it right up.  Never had an issue
with my FOX station, though.  For what ever reason Kodi struggles with them
on a low powered machine (it plays them fine on a beefier machine that I
use for my current MythTV frontends); though like I said, other apps on the
same box that can see my recordings via UPnP have no issues playing them.
I tried to get some help through the Kodi forums, and never got much [any]
feedback.
