Some updates.
It seems now that my audio passthrough is working, not sure what causes this but for some reason now both KODI and SPMC will give passthrough to my reciever. I cant think of any settings i have changed to get it to work. I still have the recommended settings from SPMC. Anyhow one problem less.
Regarding refresh rate that is still an issue, I guess as you said its a bug in Nvidia.
- I downloaded the app TVHz from google play store and it only showed 60hz. I then restarted reciever, stil only showing 60hz. I then restarted Nvidia then it shows many different, 24, 30, 60 etc. I went into both KODI and SPMC and now i can change the refresh rate in system settings for display. But if i change it to 23.976, and play a movie with 23.976 my TV still says 1080 60P.
And if i go into Nvidia OS and change HZ, it automatically change it back to the recommended 59.***

I guess we need to push Nvidia to fix this bug. Atleast I can live with it for a while and just enable/disable passthrough. But then about the refresh rate, i tried to do this: "refresh Rate to always and to put 3 seconds delay" but didnt help.

Refresh rate switching doesn't work if the AVR is HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 and the TV / display is HDMI/HDCP 1.4.
Also HD Passthrough have issues in Kodi 17 and latest Spmc.
To fix HD Passthrough and have audio recognized by Denon Avr you have to use Refresh Rate to always and to put 3 seconds delay in SPMC/KODI settings in Pause during refresh rate.
Now about Refresh rate switching that doesn't work I use A HDFury Integral between Shield and Denon Avr( I have Denon AVR-X4200W).
HDFury Integral is expensive but fixes all HDCP connection problems. You can also use a hdmi splitter switch with HDMI 1.3 compatibility that is cheaper than HDFury Integral.
I hope to make you understand the problem and how to fix.
I have already reported through feedback to Nvidia this problem (Refresh rate switching doesn't work if the AVR is HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 and the TV / display is HDMI/HDCP 1.4)
but until 5.1 Shield firmware no fix for this.
Be well my friend. Spiros.
try 3.5 seconds in the settings or 4. also try to check with TV Hz program from playstore to see if you have all refresh rate options. if you don't see them try to unplug the power cable and after 5-10 seconds plug it again and see if you see all available refresh rates in TV Hz program. also see in your Avr in setup-information-video if refresh rate changes depending in the source files your are playing, like 23.976 fps, 25000 fps etc....
good luck!!!
