Does anyone know what is holding back the passthrough of HD audio on tvOS? Is it simply because developers have not implemented the feature in their code or is it just a limitation of tvOS at the moment (which can only be resolved by a software update from Apple)? I know AC3 and DTS passthrough works fine.

Sunshinefires, Currently a limitation of tvos, but there is a chance of stuff Kodi could do to overcome this.. we'll see. Until MrMC implements it, it's doubtful Kodi will get it.

Great work!
I found 2 issues in the current build:
LiveTV: PNG Picons don't work correctly. They have a black Instead of a transparent background.
LiveTV: Long Buffering with HD channels after a few seconds.
Best Regards

well mrmc uses a completly different png loader as we do - i am pretty sure it has todo with your pngs because mine work fine (not saying there is no bug but its no general thing with transparency in all pngs)

My PNGs are working perfect too. I haven't seen that issue... I'm using the MythTV plugin.

I want to say that the TVOS 12/30 build works great. I was previously using the 12/23. The issue I was having with the 12/23 is when I attempted to play some of my ISO ripped DVDs, Kodi would just not seem to play the movie or if it did it would get stuck at the DVD menu and not play. The 12/30 build has fixed that issue and in fact movies seem to start playing very quickly now. I also like the fact that the 12/30 build now works correctly with the play/pause button on the Apple TV 4 remote. Great update.
I do have a question though. Is there a button sequence on the Apple TV remote that will bring up the OSD during playback?

MrMC had two issues with pngs, both of which were fixed.
1st was treating a certain png flavors as rgb instead of bgr, Very obvious as red and blue were flipped.
2nd was pngs with color tables skipped expansion to brga and these too were very obvious by the skewing.
Both were due to coding opps in the png codec that was added when cximage was nuked. Kodi does not use this png codec.
In any case neither of these match the above which looks like a missing alpha channel.

I has a question and wanted to make sure I wasn't asking it wrong. I have a legal non-banned addon that is located in the Kodi Repo that isn't working. Looking at the github I see some .py files so I assume there is some python code in the addon. Is it safe to say that we don't want to bring up any of those issues until at least 17.0 alpha as the goal right now is Kodi core functionality?
