Poor video playback quality on Kodi
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

Kodi will let you switch engines to VLC.
that would be great, but how to do that?
Google it.

Oh but this solution defeats the purpose of even using Kodi doesn't it? This isn't switching engines, but rather forcing Kodi to open files in an external application
Does it? Kodi still runs the interface.
Not useful on AndroidTV since VLC doesn't use the same post-processing capabilities as it has on the desktop. You are better off playing with post processing in Kodi. But usually devices running AndroidTV simply don't have the compute power for it.
