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

The only trouble I found is playing something with opus voice track doesn’t work in the app, and some browsers. Otherwise it’s great

This may be more your phone or the video file not being handled correctly.
Have you tried another end device/encoding it in another container zo test it?
Because as far as I am aware I havent had any issues with opus tracks.

Which app? Jellyfin has many client apps for many different platforms, some with more features than others.

I just wish the Flatpak had a more keyboard/controller friendly UI. Seeking around the current video using KB/controller is fine, but navigating the UI to pick what to watch pretty much requires a mouse.

EDIT: Just change the display mode! Settings > Display > Display mode > TV
