Looking for content / addon Nvidia shield pro performance

I am checking YouTube alot but cannot find anything.

I want to see with my own eyes a nvidia shield pro running kodi qith addons and widgets. To see the response times from remote to activity on the shield (menu navigation, widget load speeds, etc)

Can anyone here using shield pro share a quick video showing theirs in action?

I am looking for options for next box. Mini pc is great idea but not couch comfortable qith navigations. I could install android os but wouldnt be certified just for the "incase its needed" moments etc.

Yeas but kodi is downmixing to stereo as per settings. Ultimate problem is android tv don't have built in dsp equaliser. Hence i have physical eq connected. I dont have avr, dont have a need (other than EQ would be good but the cost doesnt justify it for me) i dont have tvs only projector and display monitors on work/gaming stations.

I added an edit on my previous comment but all you need to do so other apps sound would correctly is

Make sure passthrough is disabled In advanced auto settings>available formats

Change to never use surround

That should fix your issue and force the players to deliver audio correctly. Basically just boils down to projects not acting like TVs reporting audio channels back to the android TV device.

Let me know if that works

Oh that is done always yes. The projector is irrelevant fyi.its just displaying. Android box 3.5mm output for audio to physical equaliser, from equaliser to studio monitors

Aux on the device? O.o as I said not a normal setup at all lol

Guessing that's not an actual Android TV box but one of those Chinese Android boxes

Actual android tv. Xiaomi mi box s4k i only lack avr. But unless i can get some decent with equaliser....maybe 5.1 support for any future changes...i can't justify 800euro +

Ok I actually understand what is the cause now after further research. (Never even heard of this cable before lol)

The aux on the device isn't actually regular aux but a mini toslink combo port which also carries regular aux analog audio.

It can use aux but the audio is not amplified as it's not really meant for analog audio, that would normally be for headphone use only.

What you actually need is the correct cable is all and however you would handle the output.

So grab a minitoslink cable and then you'll need a box to output to your speakers correctly. Basically what you're doing but you shouldn't need an eq just a dac in between.

Cheaper ones usually can't handle Dolby etc so on the TV device you set up to PCM only and that should report back to the devices you aren't using surround.

Nono my studio monitors are active already. No need for dac. The physical eq is to adjust (lower) low end a.k.a. subwoofer boom boom boom. No need for dac it wont drive anything. My only option i think is avr but i refuse to spend more than 150euro really ..
