Hello,
I open this thread so as not to create confusion on the other thread "Android - KODI on Sony Bravia Smart TVs (2015) based on Android TV"
I own the xd93 model. Is there anyone who has properly configured kodi for viewing 4k-videos and large files without buffering problems or stuttering?

Thanks, nice to see some discussion on the 2016 versions.
How do you find the 1080p performance?

You should be able to load them up on a USB hard drive, or a network share, and just play them right in normal Kodi (from Google Play).

Kodi's GUI is rendered in 1080 for performance reasons, but 4k video is always in full 4k on the Android TV platform.

Hi all,
I own the 55" XD93 model too.
Configures Kodi to connect to NFS shares on a synology NAS, and everything works great. Included big 4K filmes...
I know the interface is 1080 but how to know if 4K files are viewed in real 4K resolution?

Other question, anyone connected a Dual Shock or any other one like xiomi gamepad to this TV? Read in another forum works great for gaming. Any experience?

of course we could also discuss merging both threads as from my understanding Sony ATV 2015 & 2016 are virtually identical platforms: apart from minor differences (extended HDR support, new Displays...) the SoC & Firmware are nearly identical

Can 65X8505 pass the HD sound via HDMI ARC to AVR?
My AVR is Yamaha RX-A1010 which supports HDMI ARC.
I have HiMedia Q10 Pro (with Himedia Wrapper installed), so my AVR doesn't support 4K, therefore I want connecto to Media PLayer to My 65X8505 via HDMI2 and pass the sound from HDMI4/ARC to AVR.
But when I do that, Sony TV processes the sound itself and sends to AVR as surround, therefore I can not recieve TrueHD or DTS-HD sounds.
Is it possible to bypass without processing the sound from HDMI 2 to HDMI 4 directly?
