Hi, I'm finding on the latest nightly when using the PVR backend for dvblogic, when Kodi starts up it goes through each of the channels until it gets to the last one and it hangs saying "loading guide from database".
I didn't see this issue with the 16 alpha 2 release or the 15 releases. I needed the latest nightly for the longpress context menu which doesn't seem to be in the 16 alpha 2 release.
any ideas?

report such stuff in PVR section as those guys don't look here

thanks - will do. Oberon@dvblogic have said they need to refresh the apis to match 16 but they'll only do that once v16 hits beta so I'll hang 10 on this.

On another note, with audio passthrough set to enabled I'm finding that switching between a TV channel with dolby and one without seems to randomly break the pass through and push out whitenoise through the audio - the only solution which seems to prevent this is to disable passthrough audio. (I'm running an Onkyo NR515 AVR and the shield is plugged into the HDMI 3 (which is supposed to fully support the shield). Any ideas on this?

HDMI-CEC Control

SHIELD supports advanced HDMI-CEC features that further enhance your home theater experience.

HDMI-CEC Volume control sets SHIELD’s volume to the max level and enables you to control audio volume using your TV or receiver’s remotes.
HDMI-CEC also enables you to use your TV’s or audio receiver’s remote to navigate through some of the Android TV’s user interface.
HDMI-CEC’s “One Touch Play” feature enables your SHIELD to automatically turn on your audio receiver and television when you wake up your SHIELD from sleep.
HDMI-CEC “One Touch Play” can be enabled by going to “Settings -> HDMI -> HDMI CEC One Touch Play”
HDMI-CEC volume control can be enabled by going to “Settings -> System-> HDMI-CEC Volume control”

TV Overscan Correction

Older TVs typically exhibit overscan issues that cause part of the picture to be cropped along the edges of the display. While some TVs offer overscan correction within their picture adjustment options, others may not have this option.
To help users fix overscan issues on older TV sets, SHIELD includes an overscan correction tool that enables users to adjust the size of the image to fit the screen.
To access this tool, go to “Settings -> HDMI -> Adjust for Overscan”. Then follow the instructions on the screen to adjust the displayed image size.

The question now is: is Kodi ready for OTA 2.0 (Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio passthrough)? 15.1/15.2rc2 don't have passthrough options for those formats.

Short answer, not yet.

Only refreshrate will get a fix for 15.2 and 16.0 nightlies.
Passthrough is still WIP

Still have to keep that Chromebox around I see.

Will VC-1 in hardware be picked up automatically? Would Passthrough be backported? I had given up on 16.0 nightlies a week or so ago as anything after alpha 2 wouldn't start up and I don't think Emby supported it either.

VC1 works
No backport
Alpha2 works just fine.
