Anyone else have poor 5.1 audio quality on Netflix? The audio is consistently terrible for me unless I switch to STEREO.
nVidia Shield TV, Gen1, Latest update. Netflix App for AndoridTV from Play Store, Latest version.
Terrible voice sibilance on Netflix app. Other apps on the AndoridTV are fine (Hulu, Plex, Kodi, Homerun). Switch to Netflix on the PS4 and it's fine.

Edit: As u/Kartana described below, it's a known issue caused by a Dolby Digital Plus specification change around 2013. I have opened a support ticket requesting a firmware update for my Pioneer SC-37, but I won't hold my breath. Also now that I know what I'm looking for, found some additional links;
AVS Forum - DDP Netflix Various AVRs
Sony Community - DDP Incompatibility Netflix Sound Distortion
Sony Community - Netflix Clipping Sound with DDP
Edit2: Reply from Pioneer support. As expected since my original email to them described in detail answers to questions they are asking :(
We are sorry for the issue you are having. Do you have any other audio issues when playing a source in a different audio format. There is no firmware out for this receiver due to the age of this receiver? How long is the HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV? Do you have your source set to PCM or bit stream when playing your audio.
Whys the play store different from the tablet/phone version?
Im trying to install this app but it cant be found on mibox, but yet available on my tab. how do i get it?
Whats the easiest/wireless way to install apks on mibox? like without computers or requiring connections?
updates, do they really matter on androidtv? as i see mibox is still on android 6/mm, does that mean its EOL?
Hey yall.
So NHL.TV doesn't make an app for android TV which is extremely frustrating. Amazon recently released an app for their Fire TV boxes. jonosharky created a port but it asks you to sign into the amazon app... and it just doesn't really work.
Would there be a way to remove that requirement? I'm not smart enough to know about this stuff...
Here is the Amazon app store link to the app: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075QSZ6G2
Thanks!
Sorry it's a day late, but tried it on my Shield TV today. Instantly got a "your system needs an update message" and closed the app. Maybe someone else can figure it out.
