Thanks.
I haven't found a pattern yet, but sometimes 24p mode isn't engaged when I start a video. If I keep backing out to the main screen (while playing) and then hit back one more time the 24p mode is engaged. Anyone else see this?

Is it possible to integrate the Kodi app with the home screen of the Nvidia Shield system? Would be awesome if recently watch and recommended movies showed up there. It would also be mind blowing if you could use voice search to find your movies.

I just tested popcorn time, to see how it runs (not that great), all though i never use it, but just wanted to try it out.
I see now on the home menu, that the 6 items infront is from popcorn time, and its displaying the most popular movies that are out right now.
maybe not related to this, but saw your were talking about maybe adding things there from kodi

Dont know if this is a bug in the shield tv itself or the kodi build.
If i select passthrough ac3 and dts (my soundbar has support for those formats). If i try to change the volume on the remote, that controls the volume on the shield, i get high static noise, if i select the highest volume, the static goes away.
However this only happens if i have dts passthrough enabled. if i just leave ac3 i can use the shield tv remote to change the volume without static.
I could fix this by using fixed volume inside the settings on the nvidia shield tv, but then i need two remotes, one to change the volume then one to stop/pause/navigate xbmc.
Or isn't passtrough available? I mean it works when i passtrough dts and ac3, its just gives static if i try to change the volume with the optional remote. Which i guess controls the volume on the entire system, not just xbmc

So i just got my Shield yesterday
Sideloaded Kodi 15.0 latest beta
configured hdhomerun
not having too many issues, every once in a while it drops me back to the android tv desktop and i have to restart kodi. Normally that's when i kick off a random video file from my nas. If i go back in and restart it, it plays fine.
Also, i had seen some people having issues playing mkv files? I have had no problems whatsoever, Mine is working perfectly with those.
I will say, I am not doing 4k video, my tv is 1080P only. aside from that, kodi is running pretty damn good and i look forward to you guys ironing the finals bugs out for a truly stable release.
I will also say that HDHomerun is working pretty well, aside from a slight delay in changing channels, and hd streams sometimes take a couple seconds to buffer but otherwise play great. Oh and I am connected over wifi, 802.11n 5ghz. I realize if I go hardwired that it will most likely solve the delays, but I wanted to see how far i could get with it.

Home = Kodi in background = video playback pause, by design, due to Kodi being designed differently than a standard android playback app.
