I am using Kodi 18 on my NVidia Shield with NPVR v5.0.8 on my server.  Strange problem that when I use the "Real Time" setting for streaming Live TV, I only get stereo output when watching live programs.  If I set it to "Time Shift", I get 5.1 AC3 as expected.  It seems like it might be unnecessarily transcoding with the Real Time setting, however, it shows both audio tracks in Kodi when I go to modify the Audio settings during playback (English AC3 5.1 and Spanish AC3 stereo) so that suggests it is not being transcoded.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

The buffering in Real Time is not the same as with Timeshift. I'd try Matrix and see if it helps and if not post on the Kodi forum with logs. fritsch is pretty good answering Android questions.

Just to follow up on this, Matrix has the same behavior. I posted on the Kodi forum and apparently passthrough is not possible in Real Time due to it not being able to adjust for "dropouts". So, apparently the AC3 is decoded to PCM and setting the speakers to 7.1 in Kodi allows 5.1 PCM to be sent to my AVR.

You didn't mention pass through in your first post I though it was a track selection issue. I don't think Live TV supports it. You could try knewc and if that works I might have a further workaround if real time is ok.
