Kodi v21 is showing a black screen on one of my MKV movie file. I need to disable hardware DXVA2 to play it properly but then the CPU will be 100% utilized.

This is likely a Windows specific issue. Please turn on debug logging, restart Kodi, play the video and provide the kodi.log through paste.kodi.tv
