Based on the FCC schematics (which are real), all those images definitely seem Photoshop-ped.

If I don't care about 3D playback, is there any advantage to running LibreELEC on Intel hardware versus Kodi/SPMC on the Shield?

I have extra Intel hardware (Skylake CPU, i3-6100) that is very powerful but I'm not sure if there is any benefit at all versus just using the Shield?

Hi, Koying, an honor to receive a message from you!
baby born 15 days ago!, wife granted me an authorization to deal with our new media player ( i paid it but now is family property!) let me know if you can help me to get HD audio! i´m writing this with baby in arm!! jaja
thanks!

Pleasing news that there may be a new shield coming.
Slightly sadder that it probably won't be available for months yet if it happens...

Contrast with the Apple approach (a demo/unveil) here it is, available next week guys.

:-( if only!

Since updating spmc to 16.5 latest I can't get nfs to work. Nfs still works in kodi for me.

Any ideas Mr Koying

Congrats on the new baby.

That said, no Debug log (wiki) = no problem. No one can help you if they can't see what the problem is.

Also, I'd suggest reading through the Kodi Wiki. Most solutions can be found there with a little reading.

This! at list someone reply if hdmi 1.4 port has something to do with his issue, i read the github link and says if conecting to receiver make sure to connect to hdmi 2.0 port but if connecting directly to tv then it mentions hdmi 1.4, so even for me seems confusing because for hd audio hdmi 2.0 port is not a requirement.

Hernan, not sure if you're using the same HDMI cable you used to use with your wdtv but i would suggest to try with another one and post screenshots of your audio settings within kodi: Ajustes > Sistema > Salida de Audio.

Nvdia Shield is IN STOCK again on their website. Just purchased mine . Don't care about the rumours, for my needs this device will do the job and much more.

Update: Sorry they are Out of Stock again

I prefer my NUC over the Shield for just using Kodi. The Shield is better at everything else, like Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, etc.

First of all, congrats on your new baby!

I am about to ruin your joyous days and I apologize for that. You will not be able to get HD audio passthrough with your Onkyo HTX-22HDX. nVIDIA Shield has compatibility issues with certain AVRs and this is one of them. This issue was reported by some users on nVIDIA forum.

nVIDIA Shield and Onkyo HTX-22HDX HD Audio Passthrough

The only resolution for this problem is a new receiver. Don't even think of getting a Samsung HW-K950, that one also has the same HD audio passthrough problem.

Edit: If you are prepared to wait for a couple of months you may not have to get a new receiver. You will have to wait for Google to fix IEC 60958/61937 passthrough for HBR audio and then nVIDIA will have to incorporate those fixes in one of their Shield updates.
