RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - gilsonsjc - 2015-11-06
Hey guys: I am looking for a device to replace my 2011 Boxee Box (which is running really fine, problem is lack of 4k support). so I have some questions about the Nvidia Shield I could not have found the answers to - would you help me?
- Does it support DTS (DTS MA, DTS:X) and Dolby (TrueHD, Atmos) passthrough (I do not need decode, just to send the HD sound as is to the receiver) from movies stored at SMB shares?
- Does it play BD ISO files?
Thanks

Please read at least a couple of pages of the thread before asking your question, you will be amazed at what answers you will find posted here about 48,567 times already.

RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - MDDSD - 2015-11-06
Does anyone know if it should be possible to playback 4K AVC Hi10p on the Shield using KODI?
I read in this thread that 1080p AVC Hi10p should be doable if turning off HW acceleration...
The playback is very choppy and when pressing the o-key I see that all four cores are at 100%...
Here's the media info:

RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - DTMHibbert - 2015-11-06
Hi All, i have been following this forum for a while now so decided its times to make an account,
i looking at purchasing a Shield TV soon and from i can gather reading this particular thread is that everything but Bit-Streaming HD audio is now working? can kodi decode the hd audio streams and send it as PCM to my soundbar - (YSP-2500) will be buying this at the same time as the shield tv.
Thanks All -just a little confused with the different builds and bugs in each.
RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - drhill - 2015-11-06
DTMHibbert, it will decode the HD audio streams properly to PCM, but using a soundbar isn't going show off any difference between legacy codecs and the newer HD codecs (lossless or not). Obviously if you only ripped HD tracks you want to play them, but DTS HD* tracks have the legacy DTS codec with the HD stream. That legacy DTS track can be bitstreamed from the box. I believe TrueHD has no requirement for having a core track embedded, I can't think of any discs that didn't just have an additional AC-3 track to go with the lossless track. Still Kodi decodes TrueHD fine as well.

I gather you read back here where Tinwarble and I tested a Hi10P, and it played back fine with HW turned off.
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=220297&pid=2044503#pid2044503
After that, a change was being implemented to Kodi to automatically turn HW decoding off for Hi10P.
I am playing that same 1080P Hi10p sample now on Kodi 16 nightly from the 29th, and it was fine without me having to turn HW off, so it is obviously working as it should.Actually, there were two stutters in it. CPU cores seem to sit around 30-50%, with a peak of 80%.

Hello,
Do you think it will be better for kodi coder's to wait android v6 for HD sound support ?
On the official forum, someone told about android v6 available at the end of december (don't know if it's true
)

HD Audio is already there in the Shield, just not in Kodi.
V6 won't make a difference, as Nvidia already backported DTS/DTS-HD from V6 and even TrueHD from nowhere

Yes, but he is trying to play 4K Hi10, which probably isn't going to work.

means no-one works for HD audio on KODI?

Yes that's right I'm trying to play a 4K AVC Hi10 file and the Shield seems to struggle...

Also, does Kodi for Nvidia Shield support 3D MVC?
