Realtek's 1186 chip was best put to use by Mede8er I think for their X3D series media players. No Kodi, and Android OS stripped out, but it delivered when it came to excellent 3D MVC and ISO support, HD audio and perfect 23.976. Only forced subs were never supported.
Would be great, assuming RTD1295 delivers, that Mede8er would jump back in w/Kodi and Android support. Just wishing as their firmware support is among the best among manufacturers, even years after product releases.

Realtek has an uphill climb, especially to compete w/HiSilicon's Hi3798C V200 SoC... but, who knows, maybe it will deliver.

actually I just got some details from someone that had the chance to play with RTD1295 for a few weeks and it looks like the image quality is on par (if not better) than HiSilicon's - this I've got to see for myself (and I will).
It's not a surprise that RTD1295 can decode 4K 60p (and 10Bit), but it can also decode 4K HEVC with high bitrates - up to 300Mbps!!

That's true for HiSilicon as well... but, good to have choices for next-gen. I assume RTD1295 continues to support MVC?

Agree... Mede8er X3D series are terrific non-Kodi 3D MVC players, supporting both MVC MKV and ISO. I only had two minor complaints: (1) PQ a tad soft, and (2) no forced subs support.

I can see more devices with this chip. I've known Zidoo x8,x9 devices but what about general support of this chip?
Is it better than s905? With android or LE/OE?

Zidoo's X10 uses the same chipset.
Their Z series uses the 1296.
BTW, there is nothing "old" about this topic, current models (not just Zidoo) use this chipset.
