Thanks for the files..
I wonder if you can ADD to one of the files HD AUDIO (dts-hd or TrueHD) to test the reliability of the players playing Blu-ray Ultra HD..
I'll look into it. I don't have any tools for manipulating HD audio streams, so I'd have to use the audio from video clips that are similar in length, which pretty much limits it to the Dolby and DTS demo clips. Those guys are scary-protective of their stuff - I really don't want the Dolby/DTS hatchet coming down on my head for using the audio from one of their clips.

because i have only two speakers 
So for 5.1 setup, do I need to set it to 5.1? Or 2.0? I thought passthrough has to be twp channels...
You must setup 5.1, that is taken into account only when kodi is doing the decoding.
Is it best (with a 5.1 setup) to select 7.1 and let the reciever filter out the channels or just set the channels to 5.1?
Is there a difference?
sorry if stupid question.

If we really want to test whether the SHIELD can handle Ultra HD Blu-ray files, we should be testing HEVC encoded files that are main10 L5.1. The performance of H.264 and HEVC decoders can be totally different on a device. That said, it seems to be OK with 300Mbps bitrate main10 files. These are just 10sec clips that I tested. Will it be the same with longer clips is something to be seen...
Shiel being based on maxwell arch has suport for hd blueray hvec 10bit
Just wanted to clarify this before considering the NVIDIA Shield.
The Invidia shild is able to control the TV Volume with the NVIDIA Remote Control over CEC. Is this also working from within Kodi?
And the other question would be, if it is correct, that the Shield is doing a good job on deinterlacing Live TV (1080i h264)?
Thanks for ur answers and support.

Workin' on it, tho I hate learning new tools!
Looks like
Handbrake now can handle HEVC... I used to use an older version for re-encoding, but not sure if you can edit as well. Or, whether you need Adobe Premiere CC.

'Just one file on a temporary page at the moment, but it's a start:
http://jell.yfish.us/temp.html
I'm about to make a road trip to my parent's for Christmas, so I don't have time to do more files right now. When I get back, I'll whip up a bunch more files, figure out how to present them on the site (need to rework it for both h264 and h265 files) and then update the main page.

Hello,
From my experience, you can control the Shield (Android) volume with the remote. I have not tried finding a way to control the TV volume with the remote, and never accidentally did it. But in my opinion it is fine this way, i have control on the volume with the Shield volume adjustment.
On a side note, i can control Kodi from my TV (Pana GT30) remote, which is nice.
I don't need any other remote other than my LG tv remote..Cec works 100% for me
Can i pick your brains for the best KODI audio settings for the below setup..thanks
BenQ W1070+ Projector
Pioneer VSX-529k 5.1 amp (Dolby TrueHD• DTS-HD High Resolution Audio)
Nvidia Shield TV running Kodi v15.2 Isengard
First upgrade to the beta.
I have a question concerning framerate switching: I'm running Kodi 15.2 on the shield and after activating framerate switching, a 24fps file was all over the place. It was like the video was trying to cath up to the audio and didn't really succeed. Is that normal?
For european users the Nvidia Shield + remote bundle is 169€ in amazon.de
