Q&A
Q: The shield has only a few buttons how do you control the menu and the kodi OSD?
A: If you press the main button on the remote and nothing happens, it means you are controlling the disk.
If you want to skip, hold the play/pause button for a few seconds and the main information page will show up.
Press the main button and you will be able to skip chapters, seek the timebar, open the popup menu.
Q: How do I open the popup menu?
A: Press play/pause and hold, see the information OSD, press the main button, press the little house icon.
Q: This way of controlling is terrible, I don't like it.
A: You can try changing the inputs assigned or you can try using a bluetooth remote control, or a usb one with a receiver.
Q: Will this be merged into main Kodi?
A: I have absolute no idea.
Q: my disk X doesn't work
A: yes, this isn't perfect.
Q: Does Dolby Vision works when playing full discs?
A: No dolby vision is only supported in matroska (mkv) and mp4 containers. If FFMpeg addes support for m2ts it might work.
Know problems
1. The menu, on 4k discs with HDR/Dolby Vision (when HDR is enabled in the display), is rendered in SDR and the colors will look dessaturated.
I tried to solve this but I have no idea how to.
If you want to see colors as they should, disable mediacodec surface and media codec hardware acceleration but on 4k discs the menu will run really slow.
We need hardware acceleration for the menus in 4k.
2. The playback keeps reseting and the screen flashes when using match frame rate settings.
Yes, the video is playing the background, when the video ends, it will start again and the display will flash.
Is this or a sluggish slow menu.
3. I have heard the kodi has some problems with seamless branching and subtitles(?)

Fandangos thank you for your great work . I had looked for this feture for a long time.
I try your apk and add-on on my SONY TV 75X9500G, which is android tv 9. And MiBox android tv 8. Almost everything works great, but the HD Audio passthrough not working.
for SONY Android TV 9, they can not passthrough the HD Audio for the 3rd-party app like kodi. its' OK. I know that. it never work on Android TV 9.
For Mibox Android TV 8, it should passthrough the Truehd and DTS-HD. I haven't seen Truehd setting in your apk. And both DTS-HD and Truehd passthrough worked when I using kodi 19.3 on Mibox after I update the Kodi from kodi 18.
I heard kodi 19 is not support HD Audio passthrough, but after I update kodi from 18 to 19, Maybe it inherits or continues some drivers from kodi 18, so kodi 19.3 still can passthrough the HD Audio on Mibox android TV 8?
Would you help to look at this? I notice some shitty build can support HD Audio passthrough on Amologic，if it is possibale, can you integrate these drivers or code into your build? BTW, both sony tv and Mibox is 32bit.
Look forward to your reply， good day！
Thanks
