YCbCr is needed for tv's but none of these devices including the Shield do it.
The SHIELD does YCbCr 4:2:0 for 4K 50/60Hz, but not for 1080p or 4K 23.976Hz. Amlogic devices output YCbCr 4:4:4.

On Minix forum, they recommend to turn off Kodi Dynamic refresh rate and only enable the "self adaption" that is present in the firmware. I only have the system level one enabled and have not checked the output to see whether the one that Kodi switches is different from the system level one. May be it is, I have seen some users report stutter, but those complaints were sort of ignored.
And because of this the Kodi code to signal the Kernel to switch on Frame Rate Automation (23.976fps sync) is different from all others. It was outputting 23.976fps video at 24Hz before the code tweak.
OpenELEC on the Core still uses the common AMLogic Linux Kernel and no Kodi tweaks are needed.
I did not realise there are different Kernels versions between Android and Linux / OpenELEC. Possibly something to do with DRM as well on the Android side of things with the Core.
You may see other S812 providers running into problems on Android as well if they do a Firmware upgrade that packages this updated Android AMLogic Kernel down the track.
