Current builds support Dolby True HD bit streaming, and will switch between 50 and 24.000Hz, but blue-screen on my amp when playing 23.976p content when you have refresh rate changing enabled in Video Playback settings. (Same kernel issues others have had with 1000/1001 modes on the S905 I expect)
Live TV (1080/50i H264 and 576/50i MPEG2) seems to play OK at a quick check (haven't tried the H264 576/50i 16:9 stuff that causes problems on some other platforms)
Haven't tried UHD yet.
(Yep - I tumbled for a MiniMX as the price was good, and I wanted a boxed S905 player alongside my more DIY ODroid C2)
Not recommending the MiniMX - but having a play.
automatic updates are working from the latest OE build forward making staying up to date easy.
