On another note: curiosity killed the cat... me ! Remember I'd said I was curious to try the Popcorn Hour VTEN? Well, I ordered one a week ago, and today spent a few hours with it. Build quality is excellent (nice, heavy metal case, well vented, quality construction). PQ is excellent and 1:1 BD rips (2D/3D MKV's, 2D/3D ISO's) play perfectly. The problem? It ain't a Kodi player. Clunky, slow-ish UI, with complicated adding of shares and scanning using NMJToolBox2 on PC... ugh! Gave up! Reminded why I left the Popcorn Hour and Mede8er worlds behind and went Kodi in the first place. Once you go Kodi, there's truly no going back! Never again!

What a relief when I just turned on my HiMedia Q5 and got on Kodi. To eBay goes a barely used VTEN.

@hdmkv: do you still think MVC is the way to go over ISO with the latest builds?

But, Kodi doesn't show this as a 3D movie, at least via the Artic skin I use. With the few SBS & TAB movies I have, it does with .3D.SBS or .3D.TAB in them, but seems not with just .3D for ISO's.

I currently have a Minix X8-H downstairs and have been 80% happy with this. Biggest niggles are poor standard remote control. Air mouse is better. Kodi will not work with my AV amp and surround sound. Minix very slow at updating official app from XBMC to Kodi :-(

Thinking of replacing this and move the Minix upstairs to the bedroom as my Pisox Xios is not working now and my misses wants this replacing.

Anyway looking for a good replacement.

Requirements are:

• Support for my RX-V667 amp to passthough, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD.
  
• Very good Kodi support
  
• 3D
  
• Good IR remote control that also works well with Kodi
  
• Able to program this in to my Logitech harmony ultimate remote.
  
• 1080p (not too bothered about 4K at this time).
  
• Android based. Would consider windows based but want a simple solution so there would have to be a good reason to go to windows.
  
• Ability to add Netflix with HD stream support.
  

I don't want anything too complicated which is why I am going with Android. This has to be a rock solid setup as I have a disabled son with learning difficulties.

I can wait a few weeks if something new I about to be released.

Cost wise not too much of an issue but don't want to spend silly money so perhaps up to £200 but I'm flexible.

Just a quick update. Ordered the PI2 as mentioned with flirc and set this up. 99% happy with it and that is only as navigating menus is only a fraction slower than the Minix but this is no problem as its only slightly slower.

This works great with Openelec and I have the latest version running on it. Fairly straight forward to set up :-)

Thanks for the help guys.

force overclock or whatever the setting is called that disables dynamic freq. and a small bump in clocks to 1000/500/500 make the PI2 feel alot snappier in the menus. been running mine like that for a while with no issues, i think alot of people do.
