I'm tempted to buy the Tronsmart S95 from GeekBuying to try out, the middle-priced 'Meta' version w/2GB RAM. With their $10 coupon, should be $70. On the other hand, expecting a Venz V8 sample within next 2 weeks, so may wait.

Oh right, forgot it's VidOn they're relying on to offer 3D; never mind, will pass.

Yes!
Both the Tronsmart Vega S95 and MINIX NEO U1 hardware will rely on VidOn for 3D MVC and DTS HD MA /TRUEHD support.

Where are you seeing Minix U1 using VidOn? Thanks.

Smart move, you would likely cop all sorts off flak from concerned Kodi devs, members and moderators if anything further from VidOn was put on the front page of a sticky Kodi thread further promoting the tarnished company.

Is VidOn Kodi going to become the default kodi for these manufacturers?

Most of these Chinese manufacturers jump on the next big things... chip, additional cores, Android 5, faster wi-fi, whatever, so their attention to critical issues in previous boxes (that are still relatively new) is divided, and it's like they're starting from scratch with regards to decent Kodi support, HD audio, 3D, proper framerates, etc.
