Hi @fandangos,

I also checked your new build now. It was better for the P7FEL mkv test file. I had the chance to play that file 25 times in a row without an error, but then Kodi "crashed". It was still possible to navigate in Kodi, but not possible to start any mkv test file again. It was also not possible to repair the Kodi player by starting the P81 mkv test file. For the P4 and the P7MEL mkv test files it was the same as before. I could start/play3secs/stop it two or three times and Kodi Player died (I call it a "faulty start" in my github post).  
 

The problem testing this is that we have "this file works but suddenly it does not".

What we need is a methodology that ALWAYS results in a problem.
Like: play this file, play that file and it will always hang.

And this has to be true without refresh rate change so it's 100% shield's fault and we can think on a workaround because I doubt nvidia will care at this point.

Yes, absolutely! Everybody has a different understanding in how to test. I tried to describe my test cases, but now you wrote that it must be without refresh rate changes:

We can try to find the test cases always resulting in an issue again. But before we do this, we need to know the right settings for Android and Kodi.

Can you please copy and paste my settings from my github post and correct/delete wrong options/values?

Thank you very much.

Best regards Hoppel
