how well does this device play 4k h265 10 bit no HDR and HDR etc when android tv is the OS
and running kodi on it?

When you say 4K h265 no HDR - do you mean playing back SDR 10-bit files, or HDR 10-bit files but output to an SDR display with tone mapping ?

I've had zero issues playing 10-bit SDR h.265 1080p files (mastered myself from 10-bit AVCi100 4:2:2 1080i sources) on my N2 (I don't have an N2+)

I just mean 4k h265 that has HDR and one that does not have HDR but is still 4k etc..
and also running this on android TV with kodi.

Also is there any picture or performance issues if the TV is 4k but does not have HDR but playing a HDR file?

You tested with 1080p, but what about 4k?

Does android TV + kodi have comparable or worst performance than nvidia shield running android TV + kodi?
and how does the 4k h265 HDR and non HDR movies play on nvidia shield vs n2+?
