scanned the thread but cannot find an answer. Have a 2017 Shield and running Alpha 2 Leia. Looking for the best possible settings for Kodi. So far I have:
1) Shield set to default (recommended) resolution - seems to be 4k/60
2) Kodi set to adjust resolution on start/stop
3) Kodi resolution set to 1080p (most content is 1080 or below) - seems to only allow 1080p/24 - not 50 or 60??
4) Whitelist shows lots of resolutions.
Not seeing Kodi switch resolution. the GUI plays in 1080p/24, movies play in 4k/60 and recorded TV (MCE plugin) falls back to 4k/60. Doesn't look too bad but don't want Kodi to upscale...
Question now - what are the best setting for both the TV, Shield and Kodi??
thnx

My Shield got the 7.0 update so I decided to upgrade Kodi to v18 Leia, and when I booted Kodi it was super zoomed in. I could only see the top-right quarter of the screen. I managed to get into the settings, switch the resolution to 1280x720, and got the whole screen back. I'm installing a nightly now, and failing that I'll backup Kodi, kill it, reinstall, and restore.
Any idea why this is happening?
Looking like the wipe, backup, and restore fixed it! Woohoo!

Has anyone managed to get PVR live TV to show up in the Oreo channels interface? I know smart playlists can show up, but i can't work out how to make a live TV smart playlist.
