I know it's not a Shield, but I have just bought a Mecool M8S, this has the leanback launcher, I'm not keen on it, because the list of apps cannot be edited.
anyway, I downloaded a startup app. I can't remember what the name of it is, it might not be compatible anyway.

I'm sorry for my urgency! Hi, in your opinion is it better Dune HD Solo Lite Media Player ot NVIDIA SHIELD TV to watch 4K videos (files) with high bitrate made by myself with a camera? I don't watch TV but I will connect my HDD with many my 4K documentaries to that device.
Then..... does Kodi works better with Dune HD Solo Lite Media Player or with NVIDIA SHIELD TV?
I'd like to get some replies from guys who know both very well.
Thanks
PS: I have just ordered NVIDIA SHIELD TV but I'm afraid having made a wrong purchase.

I have buy a JBL Bar 5.1 Soundbar and i have connect the Shield with this. But i have the problem now i can use 4k only with 709rec and not 2020rec. My Sony XE93 can use 2020rec and whene i connect the Shield with the TV i can use 2020rec. Why can i not use 2020rec with the Soundbar? The JBL Soundbar have 4k HDR support with hdcp 2.2.

recently moved to the shield tv replacing my s905 LE box, everything is great except when watching TS files recorded from my HDHomeRUN. The video plays properly and i can skip ahead without any issues, its just when I start to skip back, i will get the buffer circle. It will go to 100% but the video stays frozen, if i leave it alone for 60 seconds the video will start to play also Kodi menus are still functional.
This only happens with TS files, only when rewinding, skipping back 10 seconds is okay but if i skip back say 7 minutes it freezes. Tried high bitrate MKV files and other files with no log or freezing. I had buffer and cache settings set in advancedsettings.xml with LE but that has no effect with the shield.
