I have a question, I want to order a fire cube 2nd gen for my Kodi. It says 11.6 usable free space when I Googled it. I just checked my Kodi install (portable mode) and it's 10.9 gigs. I'm assuming Kodi set up with everything the same as on my Windows will take roughly the same amount of space. And I don't know if a Fire Cube would have enough. I'm also assuming when running Kodi generates temp files? Seems like I'd be cutting it too close.

I would edit my first post but cannot see the edit button lol.
I switched from latest build to the recommended 1st October build, and DTS and DTS HD - Core is now playing fine. How do people have there settings for TrueHD to play as LPCM as any TrueHD is sent as stereo by the sound of it or is that the Only No No on audio format
Thank you for the builds as well!

Whenever I play/pause a dd/dts video, there is a silence for 3-4s before audio kicks back in. Is that normal?
If i disable passthrough, then the lag is gone. Or if I’m playing AAC, then there’s no lag either. If I switch from Kodi audio out to raw in the settings, the lag does away as well, but dts doesn’t doesn’t resume from a pause.

Everything. Yes, from kodi pov for sure: Go to Audio settings, set them to Fixed, choose 5.1 and e.g. 48 khz. With the "fixed" setting everything will be put out as 5.1 pcm from kodi, channels not existing are filled with zeroes. E.g. if you play a stereo 2.0 stream with "Fixed", kodi will output FL+FR and LFE, SL, SR are getting zero samples. Obviously under the box we still rely on AudioTrack / Android firmware doing the right thing.
If your question was not really "always" bust mostly, plain disable Passthrough and kodi itself will only output PCM audio.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Could you post me a kodi log with that fixed settings? On FireTV the firmware now also enjoys to "transcode" 7.1 lpcm _behind_ kodi into DD+. So take care for FW updates.
