If the Android TV box is connected via HDMI, please read #2148. Otherwise, this is probably covered by the enhancement in #1741.

I followed your above comments and i got this error AudioTrack init failed: 0, Config(48000, 252, 20480) does it have anything to do with this line of code private static final MediaCodecInfo PASSTHROUGH_DECODER_INFO = MediaCodecInfo.newPassthroughInstance("OMX.google.raw.decoder");

There's not nearly enough information here to investigate this. As requested in the issue template, we need a full bug report. Also, I don't know anything about RockFFPlayer, but if it's an ExoPlayer renderer then the issue probably lies there.

If you want to use ExoPlayer's HDMI passthrough support, please refer to #2148 as mentioned in my previous comment.

It actually works for me now with Shield Preview 5.2. The update seems to have added something which tells ExoPlayer it can passthrough...yay!
