2. how big is this 4k HDR mkv file? there are some bs ones, a few gb's only, bad stuff.
- from 10Gb to 50GB plus
- I confirm not file problem cos when I use USB playback on Samsung HDR TV correct aspect ratio
You can actually see HDR UDH lit up on TV when HDR is detected and play
3. are u using AVR, i.e. Q10pro->AVR->TV? if yes, what sequence u use to switch on and off?
- Q10 pro direct to TV and coaxial to SPDIF as AVR does not support 4K HDR passthrough
- actually I referring watching 24hz mkv and Himedia and exit mid day by pressing remote return and HDMI lost signal detected by TV. If I press return 2nd time on remote Himedia syncs back to TV at 4k60hz.. I suspect autoswitch freq bug in himedia.
Kodi - this thing has been there forever, not due to box but due to some crap in yr kodi build which happens over time as u add more stuff, play various links. to get rid of this, u need to keep kodi clean, i.e. use indigo addon/maintenance to regularly remove cache, obsolete addons and other dirt.
i am on android7, firmware 2.0.1, have not come across this wrong aspect ratio.
- the new 17.1 is really slow on exit. Kodi 16.x with many addons much faster to exit.
- new 17.1 native player also slows in playing big mkv files (20+ GB) from NAS. no issue when using Himedia media player using the same file to the same NAS.
BTW HDR like planet earth 2 fullscreen looks awesome on Samsung SUHD...
