Hi, SPMC orphan here!

Originally moved to SPMC because the official Kodi audio passthrough was super-broken on the Shield TV. SPMC was much better. I would say 95% reliable, still getting some no audio problems, every once in a while.
But when I upgraded my setup to 4k HDR, I found all the problems with resolution, color space, etc...
If I understand correctly, as it stands, Android TV has some limitation that the app can't really overcome, until the next release of Android. Is that correct?

For now I'm temporarily moving to OSMC and putting the Shield in a drawer, but hopefully you guys will make it usable again.

Good Luck!
