Jan 12 test version of 14.1 is a beauty. Fixed the flicker on my AMD 7480.

Still no luck with latest test release.
Could it be something to do with the AMD Catalyst drivers? I tried to change some color settings in there, but I still get some flickering on certain videos.

Could be. There are some awful settings like skin tone "correction" and enhance while level, these just do harm. For every video option try to disable it or set to use video playback software settings. Only leave deinterlacing options on their default settings.

I tried to disable some settings in catalyst with no luck. Strange that it worked fine before version 14. So in my eyes it should be something in Kodi.
But ok, if I can use the software decoding without loosing smooth video, then I will try that.
Maybe it fixes itself on newer versions.

Confirmed. Installing 14.1 test fixes most of the flashing/flickering, but the issue remained in some scenes (although not so bad that it was unwatchable like it had been under 14.0). Turning off all the AMD rubbish fixed the remaining issue.
In short, 14.1 is a necessary but not sufficient fix. You have to do as suggested above and fire up CCC and turn off all the AMD video enhancements.
