As WeTek Core (I know it's S812) isn't able to do HD audio passthru and dynamic refresh rate switching at the same time, which seems to also affect Minix X8-H & U1, it seems AMLogic SDK (hopefully not h/w) is the issue... until they provide a fix for manufacturers to take advantage. Just speculating.
orry I forget VidOn is GPL violator..

As CT confirmed, WeTek patch which is based on koying code and later polished solution by fritsch is working good on S8xx and S9xx so no sense that people pay subscription for something what they have for free as it should be.
Kodi, OpenELEC is all about community and open source, where people exchange ideas, commit code and whole community have benefit from that work.

fwiw i tried it on the mini mx, it seems to perform just like the jarvis passthrough test builds. no frame rate switching in it and i cant test HD audio myself.

the biggest thing with vidon is 3D support, which isnt working in the Wetek Build. but could be if you just added Koyings mvc code from his github.

What does the kernel do afterwards I don't know.
I've hunted around and seen nothing.
If its AML Kernel patching, then those changes are required as well as that too is covered by a GPL licence.

They seem to have sent out samples to every video reviewer on Earth. The one that I have was purchased personally. As a policy, even when offered, I don't accept samples.

(2016-02-10, 21:25)hdmkv Wrote: Yep, only thing missing is proper 3D output (vs. TAB/HOU with 2 images). VidOn has figured out this part, but re: HD audio, agree no need for VidOn anymore.
