If not, is there a way to set a specific resolution and frame rate?
My JVC projector (RS520) only recognizes very specific resolution and frame rate combinations for 3D material.

Currently with Kodi v17: you can set the resolution to 1080p and enable Adjust Refresh Rate.
If you play 4K material; it will be output at 4K.
We looked in to outputting the native resolution in January, but this had some problematic corner cases. In Kodi v18 (of which test builds are available), you can whitelist acceptable resolutions. This will meet your requirements.
On v17 you can also fix a resolution and refresh rate, but this is not particularly recommended.

I quickly looked in the manual of the JVC RS520 for 1080p content only, for frame packing 3D, it supports 1080p/24HZ. I assume the Vero 4K+ still cannot handle this format, correct?
For SBS, it's 1080p/50Hz and 1080p/24Hz
For top and bottom, it's 1080p/24Hz.
I assume with 24Hz, they mean 23.976Hz.
You mentioned that in Kodi v18, you can whitelist certain resolutions (and frame rate combinations?). So let's say I whitelist 1080p/24Hz, 4K/24Hz and I would play a 3D movie with a 1080p/24Hz, then it would not try to upscale it to 4K/24Hz?
What would happen if the content is for example 4K/60fps, would it in that case not play?
Thanks for your reply.

Heatsink is a bit bigger. We managed to introduce good thermal governing for the CPU a couple of months ago and this resolved issues for those using things like newsgroup downloaders (extracting can be CPU intensive). There were some reports of issues with the Mimic skin causing heat so we will soon introduce some GPU based governing as well as initial reports have been positive.
Cheers,
Sam

I'm wanting to purchase and will indeed be running sabnzbd. If a download finishes and begins to unpack while a movie is playing, is this likely to impact playback? Drives are usb 3.0 but I believe 4k+ only supports 2.0.

I recently bought a vero 4k+ and I wanted to drop a quick nice review about this box because it's really a good one.
I am using xbmc for a really long time. I ran it on the first xbox, 2 computers, a Pi, a miBox, Odroid C1 and C2.
Obviously the vero 4k+ is a bit expensive comparing to the pi, Odroid, or any Android Box, but If you have a hdr 4k TV,
this one is probably the one you need. If you need more than kodi, you can also choose a shield, but for kodi, this one is perfect.
It plays just fine all of my movies. CEC just works and no need to fiddle with nfs and/or fstab for network sources.
Of course HDR mode is automatically triggered, refresh rate switching just works as well as switching resolution up.
Beside 'it justs works' I also wanted to tell that it's obviously a product engineered with passion and attention to details.
The packaging could resist a earth shake !
It is bundled with a nice rf remote, an IR Receiver, and a mount system (I haven't used them).
Is there things to improve : of course !
The first power experience is good. But since you are asked your langage and country, having the right on screen keyboard in kodi would be nice.
Honestly, I don't like the OSMC skin and quickly switched to the default kodi skin (that's just my taste)
Using CEC, the d-pad repeat rate is slow (I would say 2hz, so scrolling through a long list is a pain, even when using the scroller or chup/dwn).
There are other small annoyances, but they are on the kodi side.
Finally, I am very happy with this box, I don't find it that expensive considering that the package is really complete and that all that I needed works.
