While playing Audio test content which is downloaded from Kodi wiki ( Dolby ATMOS and others) in Kodi 18 lia (18.0, 18.1, 18.2, 18.3) on Ubuntu 18.04 minimal with Denon AVR X3200W, when audio passthrough enabled some times AVR does not receive Audio Codec stream and AVR stuck on the same codec then other video codecs like ATMOS, TrueHD and other does not work. This issue is resolved only after reboot/restart.
As I have tested the same setup and the same scenario with KODI 17.6, in this setup we did not get the above-mentioned issue.
Issue repo steps:
1. Start Kodi 18
2. Play ATMOS content.
3. Put the content playback in repeat mode(So that the test content does not stop permanently during power off)
4. change the source of AVR
5. Then put AVR into the standby mode or power off the AVR.
6. After some time start the AVR.
7. Repeat step 4,5,6 steps randomly till the audio disappeared.
Also, we did not receive any error in Kodi logs.
