I have been using my ShieldTV and Kodi for playback of UHD BD rips I have created. I am finding two specific titles have repeatable Atmos audio dropouts during playback. Guardians of the Galaxy V2 and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales both exhibit this issue. I have verified the rips through various methods and am convinced it is neither the disc not rip at this point. We have an ongoing discussion around the topic over at MyCE and I also made a post over at the Geforce forums. So far, the best answer we have come up with was from nevcairel over at Doom9 where he states it is an issue with the unknowns around the Dolby MAT specification itself. Those two specific titles have a TrueHD max bitrate exceeding 11mbps which is considerably higher than what we have seen on normal BD discs. With UHD BD peak bitrate able to exceed 100mbps could there be an issue with the current passthrough method in Kodi as I am sure it is following the standard IEC/AndroidTV convention?
