based on my reading here i have done some settings but need your expert recommendation.

nvidia connected to yamaha rxa2050 which is HDR capable
yamaha connected to sony HDR tv xe90 on hdmi3 capable of HDR
i want all video processing to be done in TV and sound processing to be done in AVR
on shield i have default setting 59.9hz
on kodi - i have passthrough selected and all capable receivers set to on (my AVR can process all audio formats)
i have whitelisted 59.9hz and 24hz in kodi
(basically followed all steps in spmc wiki - https://github.com/koying/SPMC/wiki/Reco...ith-4K-GUI)

is this good enough?
when i watch netflix on nvidia i dont have to make any changes as netflix requires 59hz
when i watch a full 4k HDR movie, should i switch to 24p? how do i do that?
when i watch 1080p movie i want upscaling to be done in TV? where do i set that?
For 4k you should be good with that setup.  It will automatically switch to 24 hz (you probably want to whitelist 23.98 as well as most movies are actually 23.98 not 24).  If you need to manually change it, while a movie is playing, go to the video settings and there's an option to change resolution, which has both settings for resolution and framerate.  It will only show available options that are whitelisted though.

For 1080p, you need to whitelist all the applicable 1080p resolutions/frame rates.  Then Kodi will switch the shield to output in 1080p, and then either your AVR or TV will do the conversions as necessary.  If you only whitelist 4k, then Kodi will do the upscaling.
