The screen pics doesn't tell the whole story. The green lines actually flicker. The video is choppy. Kind of like when it storms and satellite signal begins to fade out.
I'll try to take some video and upload to YouTube to so you can see

It is an issue with the video card or video driver.

I ended up uninstalling Gotham and installed frodo 12.0 on my fire tv. I played the same files and had no issues. Movie played perfect without issue. At this point im sticking with frodo.

So I reinstalled Gotham. Found out that the acceleration settings impacted this. So when played around with the different parameters this issue would go away. But the video playing was super slow and would be jittery. The audio would then also not be in sync. This was streaming blu ray rips around 30GB mkv files on hard wired connection.

I'm struggling with why does the xbmc frodo 12.0 not have any issues but the newer Gotham does. That's what doesn't make sense to me.

Frodo did not support Libstagefright or Mediacodec Hardware Acceleration therefore for anything non-Pivos it was software decode only.

XBMC -> Settings -> Videos -> Acceleration -> disable "Mediacodec"

This problem appears to be fixed in SPMC v13.3
