I have an android box with 5.1 running Kodi 17 RC3 and it always locks up when trying to open a movie with DTS.

DTS passthrough works fine on another video player on that same box, so I figure Kodi isn't handling something correctly. I don't know enough about the Kodi log to diagnose anything.

When I attempt to play the video the little blue loading wheel shows up, then immediately freezes. I have to hard reset the box.

Bump and update to confirm this is still not working correctly on the 17.0 final release.

... actually no, the relevant parts are lines 34-41; they indicate Kodi is behaving as expected according to your firmware. Your device does not support DTS, that leads to behavior in lines 798-799 'passthrough failed'.

If 'passthrough works fine' with another player, it's because they use an alternate, private method to create the audiotrack, instead of the standard api.

See the link posted above for further explanation regarding your broken firmware.
