Does anyone know if global (i.e. outside of Kodi) refresh rate switching will ever be implemented, so that the correct frame rate will be displayed in streaming apps such as Amazon and Netflix?

AIUI Amazon Fire TV OS apps still have to be enabled to do this, just as I believe Android apps do.(2019-01-19, 00:46)Hitcher Wrote: I think that's down to Amazon and Netflix.They both automatically change refresh rate on other platforms such as the Amazon Fire TV.

It’s one of the most requested features since the first Shield tv was released but Nvidia always responded with”it’s down to Amazon & Netflix to implement it”(2019-01-18, 23:48)knubbze Wrote: Does anyone know if global (i.e. outside of Kodi) refresh rate switching will ever be implemented, so that the correct frame rate will be displayed in streaming apps such as Amazon and Netflix?
The NVIDIA devs have stated they're working on it.

Reset it again, dropped again.I'm not sure you are aware but it is strongly suspected the Shield has 2.4GHz Bluetooth RF interference issues very likely caused by its USB3 port.
El junko....sigh...
Intel have even written a paper about it:

Here is a few more links for you to read:

And I suspect this is the reason why NVIDIA have not been able to fix such Bluetooth controller issues since the release of the 2017 Shield, a Hardware redesign to the Shield to move the WiFi / BT antenna further away from RF interference sources would be needed.
Another example is the Apple TV 4K's Bluetooth remote, by comparison you see virtually No users reporting remote connectivity and RF interference issues. That device does not even have a USB port. The only time I have seen Bluetooth issues is when a 2.4GHz WiFi antenna was place right next to the ATV 4K.
Remember as well, modern Bluetooth is Bluetooth Low Energy, so you are dealing with low powdered 2.4GHz remote devices and RF transmissions. That are all designed to save battery power and you want to save as much power as possible if using small Coin Cell Batteries.
It's also the reason why, if you bought the $10 USB Mini (WiFi) Dongle Wireless remote, it is very likely you would have had No issues at all. 2.4GHz WiFi uses comparatively more powerful RF transmissions, and such devices use bigger AAA or AA size batteries that are much more powerful.
Another example, the MINIX A2 lite keyboard remote with it's Mini USB WiFi dongle. 2 AA batteries in that lasts approx. 9 month or more with daily usage. It has very good, battery saving - wake from sleep responsiveness, better than it's successor the MINIX A3 lite.

How do you know that ?
