Is it so? It's different than Minix, then. There is a full refresh rate switch, there...
Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks, so I think it should be an amplayer patched that before starting playback does that stuff (if it was a framework modification where there are Amlogic patches to add regular Android MediaPlayer support it would not work with Kodi that uses directly libamplayer)
Edit: I still think that the best solution would be a daemon that parses /sys/class/video/frame_rate but it reports "floating" values, 59.94 would be undetectable (and also sometimes reports erroneous values, like when watching TV and changing channels, it needs some time to assest and it's slow, the change would happen like with 2/3 seconds delay to wait it to settle)

I'll try to find something more-or-less generic as well...

Well, I've this box i buy because i was happy with my play and Wetek support and globally seems much better than minix U1, only bad is that they can do wireless antenna, but ok they want to keep is stylish.
Question is little off-topic but... is no way to record contents from NBA live pass and NFL direct at box without using this HDMI recorders used for gaming?

Today have received the Minix Neo U1 and it´s WAY BETTER that Core. Sorry to say this but I have the two and have done a lot of test over them.
I´m not have any problem with playing 23.976fps, almost all H265 4K files that I have play nicely and a boost 170mb/sec Wifi 5Ghz that allow to play anything that I have in my computer like a flash.
The minix thave better construction, the feelings are better, the memory is more fast, and is more responsive. So I switch to the Minix, sorry Christian and Wrstaxy. I have waited a lot of months to buy the Core and their initial problems force me to buy the Minix, and wow...is other world.

Actpower i was thinking same but wetek guys fixed all issues instantly and for me decision to buy core was my positive experience with Play, and fact that there is openelec as well for core. I read also some comments from experienced users at this forum thst Kodi GUI for now is up to 1080p and Kodi even for now cant play 4k 60fps so decision was clear especially as Core do netflix in hd and many apps that require drm
Also somebody mentioned that 905 cant even give 4k 60fps at his output but anyway i dont need it as there is no too much content available.

Just to stop a possible war here (minix vs wetek) both have weak points and contributing more to KODI upstream might be beneficial for both because they have a lot in common.
Other than that.. respect to wetek for going the DRM route to satisfy Netflix lovers (might be also a good choice for upcoming streaming apps)
