Hi,
Some good improvements but here are some serious issues that remain:
Color Format
Needs to be selectable to allow for adjustment in each system. It is really hard to nail a perfect format due to differences in equipment in the playback system but having these settable allows finding the best fit for the system using the X6.
Most Blu-ray player have this capability.
Currently you have YCbCr – 4:4:4 pixel Format set as the default not the best. Tends to be too dark. Should be system wide selection, not film by film setting.
1. YCbCr – 4:4:4 pixel Format
2. YCbCr -- 4:2:2 pixel Format
3. RGB – 4:4:4 pixel Format Studio (Limited RGB)
4. RGB -- 4:4:4 pixel Format PC Standard (Full RGB)
Again for US the following need to be available in addition to 30Hz and 60Hz.
USA Television Frame Rates or Refresh Rates are commonly referred to as 30.Hz and 60Hz but they are actually 29.97Hz and 59.94Hz. Using these rate reduce micro-stuttering seen when using 30Hz and 60 Hz which tend to be seen when the video scene Pans from side to side.
Power Standby
Putting X6 into Power Standby at the end of day; will not awake using any button on remote!
Would expect hitting Power Button on remote to bring it out of Sleep.
Must pull power to reboot, to get it back on!
Still 24Hz not 23.976Hz
Sound Passthrough(bitstreaming
Noise is fixed.
Lip Sync or Audio Offset still wrong when viewing Cable TV is about 0.500s ahead using Kodi Audio Settings.
When watching MKV Blu-ray 1080p movies Audio is right on. Good!
When watching a MKV DVD movies Audio is again about 0.500s ahead using Kodi Audio Settings.
All Sound formats, DTS-HD, DD-HD and ATMOS and 5.1 seem to work in passthrough.
