The problem is not in the shield.
I'm sick of saying it happens on ALL android devices.
kodi doesn't have a well-designed android app. 

You keep saying its all android devices but have not given the logs for any device and are complaining about it on a shield 2015-2017 specific thread. Btw Nvidia shield developers are saying the problem is in the shield so your saying it is not is worthless.

Second HotFix (32.5.205.81 deployed on 12/4/19 and containst fixes from the first HotFix): - Support write to nas for Channels DVR app - Fix for Audio Passthrough in Kodi (Kodi version 18.6 needed: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16955) This fix is partial, there is stuttering happening that will be fixed in the next version of this HotFix. - Support for Sanskrit USB DAC - Fix for supporting Samsung soundbar power control - Google certfication to allow Disney+ to be downloaded  

You insist with this "log".
I have said say that I do not know what this is or how to do it. 

https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file Literally the second google hit on my search for Kodi Log.

The problem is not shield.
This hotfix is ​​unofficial, and just "someone" doing a hotfix doesn't mean it's your own fault.

nVidia Shield hot fixes are, AIUI, released by the Shield TV developer team to fix bugs or add functionality in between major public releases, or to test bug fixes with the wider community. Not sure what you mean by 'unofficial'?

Auto Refresh rate works on kodi and plex, but in many apps it's not working like Netflix and this flaw is neither android nor shield but shield has developed an app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...efreshrate ) which solves this problem in any app.

AIUI there are issues with the refresh rate app in Amazon Prime Video (for at least some users) as the app refresh rate checking as an attempt to circumvent DRM and gives an HDCP 2.2 error.

These Hotfix and Refresh Rate are attempts by Nvidia or someone trying to troubleshoot a third party issue. 

Yes - the lack of app support for the Android TV refresh rate API is annoying (just as it is on Amazon Fire TV - where Netflix also doesn't support application refresh rate switching. (The Netflix app on Apple TV does)
