Why does Kodi 19.3 on Nvidia Shield disable passthrough when the app loses focus, but any other app is fine?
Post Body
Can Plex run in background and passthrough an audio stream when the app is brought back up? Yes. Can VLC run in background and passthrough an audio stream when the app is brought back up? Yes. Amazon? Yes. Netflix? Yes.
But not Kodi. If the app loses focus for any reason, you have to go back to the task manager and kill the app, then run it again. Everybody in the Kodi forums keeps blaming Nvidia Shield for this, but somehow all the other Android apps dont have this problem. What gives?
