I setup my family room TV with the box!earlier on 5-29 build and it switches to 24p fine. Setup my theater with 5-30 build and it doesn't switch to 24p. Theater has a Sony 55ES projector and a Demon 2100W receiver. I used the HDM8 cable that was plugged in to my Chromebox with kodi that works fine.
Did I miss a setting? Build issue? Receiver issue? Projector issue?

No you didn't miss anything. It looks like something broke in the frame rate switching between the 1st test build and this one since I lost it after updating.
It also looks like there was some attempt in adding HD audio pass-through in the 5/30/15 build, but it's not working. Seems that although you can select HD audio pass-through it's still, at least for DTS, pushing the core according to the codec info.
Also, selecting fixed/192kHz max makes it so your watching a silent movie. You could select it before and although it was only 48kHz there was still audio coming out.
Another thing that I've noticed is that with mutli-channel PCM the audio is about 17db +/- lower than any other app, so if you exit out and play something via another app you go deaf . Boosting the volume though, gives some weird surround effect, where it's fine at 0db. This was the same on the previous test build also.
I'm rolling back since the 5/30 build seems much buggier.
