So that's good enough and from my perspective awesome news.

If I understand your findings, a normal person would be able to watch 8 movies in a row.

While we have faulty starts it is much less frequent and I wonder if someone watches a full lenghty movie.. play another one.. and play 10 2 hours movie it would fail to start.

So P7Fel start it fixed.

Here I tested several times but I left the movie playing for 2 or 3 minutes because that's closer to normal behavior.

From the logcat what is happening is that the Shield still thinks the movie is playing and the decoder is busy.
I looked (extensively) to the code and android documentation.
Every API to clear content being played is used.

So, this is kinda bitter sweet but it's possible this is as good as it can get before a new firmware from nvidia.

At least with my limited knowledge.


EDIT: forgot to say, even after a shield restart it's a good idea to disable and enable dolby vision to clear everything.

Forgot to say, one thing that is worth trying is, play the file with refresh rate change disabled and use nvidia's Match Refresh Rate (beta).
And see if that's better.
