Since the hardware is brand new do we simply have to wait for proper support? I figured out of the box it would have at least worked better than my old Fire TV 2nd Gen (18.3). That's certainly not the case. The new cube (18.4) is experiencing audio sync issues. Just about every video is a different delay. Sure I can tweak each one but that certainly leaves out a global fix. Then there's video stuttering. Anywhere from livable to completely unwatchable.
My old Fire TV has none of these issues with all the same video files. Would installing 18.3 on the newer unit help?
As it is I've gone back to the old Fire TV for now.
Many thanks for any help!

Kodi does not support devices, it supports platforms, in this example: Android with Mediacodec and Audiotrack for Audio. If they fucked it up again with non Android standard implementations, that they workaround in their fire-os for their application only ... then mainly nothing we will do about it.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Well then I guess if KODI devs are tired of supporting KODI then I guess I need to find a new box that supports HDR, HDR10 and Dolby Vision at full 60fps.
People are saying Shield does HDR but their own specs on their own page mention nothing about it. Yet alone Dolby Vision. I still have to read up on the Vero 4K+. Any other viable media players out there?
EDIT:
Looks like I need to add MINIX U9-H and Zidoo to my research as well.
EDIT2:
Looks like I've got it narrowed down to either a Zidoo or the new Nvidia TV Pro coming out later this month. The Zidoo's are lacking Dolby Vision but I love the idea of off loading my NAS storage and just playing movies locally on that and ditching Kodi in general.

MrMC was a huge fail. Stutters at 40mbps. I didn't have anything slower to test. Wouldn't play anything I had.

Well there is definitely something going wrong with video playback with your new Cube and compatibility with your particular connected equipment after looking at various Cube YouTube reviews where users have no where near the same number of issues.
A factory reset might be an option....
Android Pie on any new S922x or S922Z chipset device should be nice and speedy. Maybe you have a dud Cube.
