Hi @fandangos,
I am still having sporadic problems with movies (P7 FEL and P7 Mel) not starting. I see the Kodi spinning wheel. But I recognized that it's always possible to start the P81 file from the makeMKV testfiles. It also "repairs" a faulty P7 FEL/MEL start. You do not need to restart Kodi or the Shield, if you start this file. After that you can start a P7 file again. If the P7 FEL / MEL file doesn't start, start the P81 file again.

Maybe this helps to find a relevant difference... What do you think about it?
My hardware / software:
My Kodi settings
Do you see any configuration mistake? What is different to your configuration? What do I miss?
I recognized another issue. With the latest Kodi master Dolby Vision mp4 files work as expected, but with your build the colors are wrong.
