thanks for the guidance.
whitelisted 4k 60,24,23,9hz
1080p 60,24,23.9hz

how do i know if the rate is switched to 24p when i am watching a movie?
can we check in anyway?
on my sony tv i have set it to auto picture - other options i have is auto 24p or off

While a video is playing, you can go to Settings, Select Resolution, and it will show which Resolution and Frame Rate are currently running.  There's also a function called Debug Info that shows the current bitrate and frame rate and such.  That should show what Kodi is outputting.  I'm not sure what the keystroke to show it is, as I have it mapped to my Harmony Remote.  To verify the Shield is outputting that, it depends on our TV or AV Receiver, whether it will show you that information.
