Unfortunately there is still no fix for auto frame-rate and colour-space switching.

Auto resolution switch also dont have yet right

I guess we have to move to apple tv 4k for those.....sigh

Then for full kodi experience need to get an amlogic device flashed with libreelec....

One device for all doesnt exist....

Resolution does switch automatically. It's just the frame rate & colour-space that needs to be switched manually.
Apple TV 4K can't even do audio passthrough, so no point getting that.

Overall, the Shield is still better than any other box except for this problem.

Apple tv is good for streaming apps like netflix hulu etc. as res/colourspace/frame rate switch works well for them (not 100% sure if atmos works with netflix or not, as only pcm works for mrmc)

Hence why i said we need amlogic libreelec for others as in kodi as yes, apple tv isn't a good choice for local playback smile.gif

So two devices are needed for max media consumption satisfaction...

For now i will stick with shield 2015 and 1080p ecosystem till hdmi 2.1 chain of devices are available

Yup, there are no perfect boxes available and unfortunately this has been the case since the beginning. I was previously using 2 boxes but I am just using the Shield mostly and my Sony Android TV (for Dolby Vision). Just have to see what new boxes come up in the next year.

Yeah hope things get better with new boxes.

Am still using the shield TV 2015 which I got with both the controller and remote. Used the controller for around 1.5 years before it started failing. Then I started using the remote which also lasted for around 1.5 years before also failing.

Started using Harmony remote 665 since 2018 which is still in use today, and sometimes use the shield or android TV remote on my phone too.

Bro, how’s the switch activity response time for your harmony?
I have the remote with harmony hub. Only annoying thing is sometimes switch activity delays like 4-5 sec or had to press button again just to confirm
*
Pretty darn fast, as in I don't feel like there is any actual delay due to the Harmony itself. just that the Shield can take some time before responding to input (but the home screen is already visible and the AV receiver and display has obviously changed input too), but I don't think that's due to the Harmony as the android tv or Shield android app also takes some time before the shield starts to respond when this happens. Although this doesn't always happen, perhaps around 60% of the time.

Same thing happens when, say I'm on the HyppTV STB input with TV HDMI1, and click an activity to activate the Shield which switches to TV HDMI2, AV receiver to a different input, and the Shield to wake up. No actual delay.

But then again, I'm using the 665 which is a really bare basic harmony, only supports IR which is why I'm hoping the next Shield supports IR again as they removed it sad.gif

Your issue might be due to the remote needing to relay the info to the hub before it starts working? Looking through Amazon reviews there are people who are either really happy or really frustrated with their Harmony Touch/Companion/Elite etc...

Can use Flirc USB as IR receiver on Shield TV Pro.
Work well with Harmony remotes..

Doubt that they will bring back built-in IR..

Ah forgot about flirc.... Will consider it once nvidia releases a new shield. Hope they release a new one with av1 and wifi 6 (hdmi 2.1 would be nice too for QMS)
