because kodi does not use exoplayer most likely, it is able to support codecs that android does not support
this is true for me on my devices, kodi will play dolby vision profile 7 where android will not, kodi will play DTS where android will not
android is compiled with an ffmpeg library, support for things is determined by who compiles it usually on android they focus on support for streaming platforms
- streaming platforms do not serve DTS or TrueHD so support for them isn't required, those services lean on DD+ EAC3
kodi is also compiled with its own ffmpeg library but is compiled to support as many things as possible as well the video player core is designed this way
comparing what kodi will do to what the native android app will do would require more in depth client logs
the only way i am familiar with getting logs from the jellyfin androidtv app is by using adb logcat - perhaps someone can fill in a more user friendly method
