Happens on playback from certain MKV’s … could be a coding thing? I’m not sure…

It would be good if we could find out more about the file you are having issues playing. Please see the mediainfo section in How to submit a useful support request - General - OSMC

This will not be playable on a Raspberry Pi.
You would either need to reencode the file or get a Vero4k

Had a feeling this was going to be the issue as soon as I saw it

A Pi will not be able to play a 10bit encoded video. You should either re-encode them to 8 bit, or if you really want the 10bit quality, consider purchasing a Vero 4K
