Video "frames" lost only in 5.5.1

At first I thought it was a random problem; but now I can observe it under many different situations. It's like the videos lost some frames and you see an annoying trembling effect, and a trail in images, particularly the fast ones, of course.
It doesn't happen always (fortunately) but it happens...
It affects everything: live channels of whatever kind (DVB-T, DVB-T, FTA or not, H264 and H265) and also either recordings made by the decoder or external video.
But, above all, either live TV problems or videos ones, sometimes disappear by simply zapping to another channel and then getting back to the previous one.
Or, if it happens watching a recorded file, just stopping it and then re-playing it.
It's very annoying and it has been happening only since I installed 5.5.1 (never occurred in previous images and I could test them by multiboot).
My box it's an Ultimo4K: has anyone else experienced this behaviour?
 
Never had that issue with my Ultimo4K and it's a box I use all the time.

What are your settings in Menu - Setup - Audio & Video - Settings ?
 
They are the usual I've been using for more than 10 years, now since OpenBH 0.2...
1080p
50hz
and so on. And, above all:
1) they are the same ever used.
2) It happens randomly and it can be solved, sometimes, just zapping or stopping a video or a recording.
If it was a setting problem, it would happen always not just every now and then and it wouldn't disappear so easily.
 
OK, done (although some years ago AUTO caused me some issues which I don't remember now. That's why I decided to use the correct frequency of my country).
I'll give a feedback in some days. Thanks.

There were issues with using the multi option for some users, but last year it was all fixed and we added the Auto option too (which again all works correctly). It is also advised to leave HDMI colorspace on Auto, unless you have an issue with that setting, then change it but for most tv's Auto should be the correct setting.
