Hi can someone help on getting TrueHD on the Firestick 4K using Kodi? I chose 7.1 and the soundbar shows Dolby Audio.

Argh I can't seem to edit my post. I know that the Firestick can't pass through TrueHD; in the first post there's a guide on how to pass through TrueHD as PCM. I can't seem to get that. I have set the channels as 7.1.

So, the long awaited 'h264 interlacing fix' from amazon has finally arrived, and its not good news on the Kodi front guys.
Using a TVHeadend server, and the TVHE PVR client, I get beautiful deinterlaced playback for about 5-10 seconds, then the players locks up until a reboot.
The positive news is using the 'dream Player TV' app, which is just a TVHeadend client...1080 interlaced h264 content is playing perfectly now on the fire stick 4K, it definitely wasn't before as I checked when I first got the device.
Im using the 18.2 RC, Im happy to provide logs etc if they can be of use to anyone.

It's too bad Dolby Vision support isn't working for the Netflix addon. So we have a choice between content with HDR10/Atmos with the Netflix addon or Dolby Vision/no Atmos through the Netflix app.

Can someone please confirm, that Hardware h264 1080i deinterlacing is working on the Fire TV 4k Stick? Currently on the Fire TV 3 and considering switching to the 4k Stick if it is working.
Thanks for your Support here.

I haven't done extensive tests but using the HD Homerun PVR within MrMC fed by my HD Homerun Connect device seems to work perfectly with the Freeview HD channels I receive.
I can't comment about Kodi itself as I deleted it from my 4K Firestick when I could never get audio passthrough working properly.
