I bought it for Kodi and yes, it is my own dam fault for not knowing how Kodi operates in Android. I love Kodi on my Chromebox running Openelec and I was just so used to all of those features that I assumed with the Shield being a superior piece of hardware that it would be at least equal or better in running Kodi. I know now that this an Android limitation. I appreciate the Kodi community and I will be patient and see how it pans out on the Shield.
And if people would just read the wiki for the Shield they would see what the limitations are.
As well, it's not a Android limitation with the SATV since it is capable of HD audio pass-through, it's a limitation of Kodi at this point. This is something new for Android and it takes time to get these things working in apps, but it is in the pipeline and will be available in future versions of Kodi.

Him does this work with HD Audio?
I have read every page and it is not mentioned once.

Oh, c'mon... You couldn't find one mention of it? In 5 seconds, I found 13 pages of search results for "hd audio" in this thread.

HD Audio is currently being worked on.

And only if there was another page in the "Android" (you know, that OS that runs on the SATV) forum that mentioned it in the first post.

Man i really hope this goes somewhere. I want to switch to the shield but don't want to use IR. I'm far too used to IP control with my rti remote, and while bluetooth is an option I don't want to switch to a harmony remote just for that...

You can still control Kodi via IP on the Shield TV. You will just lose IP control when you exit Kodi. Just program a page flip on your RTI remote when you aren't using Kodi so that you are sending IR commands instead. Not too difficult to do with Integration Designer.

Thanks, and yeah I know. But considering I want to use netflix and other apps on the shield IR performance is pretty lacking, at least when I tried it with a friends shield tv and the pronto hex posted on avsforum for the shield. The responsiveness to button presses was much slower than IP directly to kodi or using bluetooth anything else. Assuming you're using that setup do you have any suggestions for improving the ir responsiveness with rti + shieldtv?

I haven't received mine yet. It should be here tomorrow. However, I will be using it with a Control4 System. I still sell and service RTI systems occasionally but I took most of my business to Control4 a few years ago and I have been really happy with the decision. I will post back on how the IR performance is with Control4. It will likely be the same but I have found that some IR devices respond better to some control systems than others. In the end I am in the same boat as you and hoping that a reliable IP control solution gets worked out at some point though.

FYI mine is doing perfect 4k@60 hz and you can just do PCM for hd audio as it makes no difference.
Converting to PCM output won't give you proper Dolby Atmos or DTS:X so it makes a lot of difference.
The PCM option is only for DTS-HD, not True HD and others.

You can output LPCM for both DTS-HD & True HD. True HD actually worked before DTS-HD was added, there's just no setting that you have to tick to make it work.

Thanx, nice to know, but anyway - we are all waiting for the first 17-"k*****" alphas.

I am using a Harmony One that uses IR. I lowered the delay times for button presses. It feels pretty snappy to me but the Shield Controller is still a little faster.
