Is the Wrapper not working with the streams in Kodi?

Not for me on Android 7 with KODi 17.

The wrapper is not designed to work with streams.

Best setup is wrapper for local files and Kodi internal player for streams. This is how the box is configured for Kodi 16.1, but for Kodi 17 streams require a change to playercorefactory (wrapper setup): http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=710.msg13417#msg13417. Similar will be included in next Android 7 firmware.

I have tried with the modified playercorefactory and with Kodi player. Video streams are always stuttering on Kodi 17.

This common problems of Kodi 17 for many device so try with  disable  "Mediacodec (surface)".

Using Android 7 firmware 2.0.1 or Android 5.1 firmware 1.0.9:

With Kodi 16.1:
- All HD-Audio (e.g. 7.1 channel) from local sources (USB/SATA/Samba/NFS) using Kodi+wrapper.
- Up to 5.1 channel audio (DTS / AC3) from local sources (USB/SATA/Samba/NFS) using Kodi internal player.
- Up to 5.1 channel audio (DTS / AC3) from Kodi streaming add-ons using Kodi internal player.

With Kodi 17:
- All HD-Audio (e.g. 7.1 channel) from local sources (USB/SATA/Samba/NFS) using Kodi+wrapper.
- Only 2 channel audio from local sources (USB/SATA/Samba/NFS) using Kodi internal player.
- Only 2 channel audio from Kodi streaming add-ons using Kodi internal player.

The expectation is that the next Android 7 firmware will enable Kodi 17 7.1 HD-Audio passthrough using Kodi internal player, streaming and local.

Is this still true?
