What part of their code do you think is a GPL violation. The bluray menus and 3d is most likely the same jvm they built for there PC app.You cannot get HD Audio Passthrough, especially DTS-HD and True HD 7.1 out of XBMC or Kodi on an S905 without modifications to the source code. Even Koying has not figured it all out yet. Once this source code is modified and released as software to the public in a commercial media player it has to be made available as well. I will be very surprised if an external player is used. Just look at CNX-Software - MINIX's U1 review, all the Audio Hooks are in the Kodi code. I've seen them.
VidOn have never done this in the past when requested many many times. They have never done it for the XBMC versions they sold as options to MINIX users, and you can make a sure bet they will not do it again when requested for their new device. They are nothing better than parasitic leaches feeding off others volunteer work. If they want to release their own modified XBMC/Kodi software they must also comply with the GPL2 licence that goes with it.
Its that simple.

It does have passthrough for Dolby TureHD/Atmos and DTS-HD Master Audio and full BD menu.So if this is true and 3D is only Top/Bottom with VidOn XBMC why are they advertising the Tronsmart S905 as 3D BD MVC + 3D ISO capable, is this a case of more false advertising ?
Surely your joking about no 23.976 ?
