I'm curious about the decision to leave PT out of Live-TV, do anyone know why? And is there any big disadvantages with letting Kodi to decode the audio and send it to the AVR?

No disadvantage, but better sync and better chance to compensate when running out of video data. Even faster switching times.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

No idea. This is the Kodi forum, right?

I have a nvidia shield tv (2015) with hdmi-audio-splitter, sending spdif to dolby receiver.
With Kodi 16, passthru worked fine for Movies, TV and Sound files, but with Kodi 17 passthru seems to be broken.
I have it enabled, but only left and right channel work, it is not downmix.
The strange thing is that initially the passthru settings in the system-audio-menu where hidden.
Now I can see the pasthru settings I changed some and now kodi is always crashing.
It seems that you have to uninstall 17 before you can install 16.1 so all settings get lost :-(

Using Shield TV 2015 + Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro 2 USB for toslink out.
Kodi 16: USB optical passthrough DTS and DD 5.1 just fine.
Updated to Kodi 17 yesterday: USB optical passthrough of DTS and DD 5.1 not working anymore. Only 2 channel PCM will work.
SPMC 16.5.5 works fine after selecting RAW, but I stopped using SPMC a while ago because of built-in subtitles not working from library.
I am wondering whether the Kodi team took ShieldTV + USB audio for toslink into account (however pcm 2.0 works, probably has to do with the fact that I cannot choose RAW over IEC and I think Kodi 16 was not using IEC yet?).
Hope this can be fixed, otherwise "stuck" with kodi 16.

Hello people, if audio is not working with kodi 17, you either have crappy hardware shit or you did not read all pages in internet.
But pls. do not complain here!
