Is there anything that can make this device usable for Kodi (or MrMC, since it does the same thing)? As soon as I start telling it to passthrough audio or changing audio settings in any meaningful way from the default (basically just changing it from 2.0 to anything else in Kodi), problems crop it. When I pause, it might take 1-5 seconds before the audio stops playing (while the video is stopped) and, after unpausing, it can take up to twice as long before the audio is properly playing again. If I leave the audio at 2.0 and no passthrough, it is fine. Playing videos through the Jellyfin, Emby or Plex apps? Fine. But Kodi or MrMC? Constant audio issues.
If this is just how the device works due to it transcoding audio in the background, I guess I need to return it.
