I've tried searching the forums but have not found a definitive answer to whether there remains any problems with Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (not MAX) auto frame-rate switching.
I'd install whichever Kodi build required. The specific use case is someone without internet, a LAN or a NAS. I'd use a USB HDD plugged into a powered hub, an OTG USB/microUSB cable and 1Gbs Ethernet/USB dongle and would pre-scrape all metadata before giving it to them.
Audio will come from the TV's TOSLINK output to a soundbar - I don't care about DTS/surround/etc. as the person is hard-of-hearing and just wants to hear dialog (hence the Zvox AV157 soundbar.)
DV HDR profile 8.1 and profile 5 is also desired.
My biggest concern is auto frame-rate switching. Is this a concern now a days?

Hi,
I have turned my Audio settings to PCM on the stick and to 7.1 in Kodi (passthrough is not available). Multichannel sound seems to work, but now the stick outputs everything as 5.1 PCM according to the soundbar, including stereo sources. Restarting the stick from the settings menu did not help. Is this normal?

Well the point is that it should output stereo as 2.0 PCM and not as 5.1 PCM. Seems to be a bug in the Fire TV firmware.
