Android HiMedia Q5/Q10 Pro (2016) with Kodi (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio)
This new official f/w is very similar to the beta 1.0.7 provided to a few recently. It's a couple of steps forward, and a couple back (or status quo).

I did a fresh install of Q10Pro_HMD-1.0.7 2016-08-10.190824 on my Q10 Pro, with 24Hz option enabled, and here are my findings:
  • The wrapper has changed, to accommodate p/w protected shares. But, it's a bit of a nuisance for those of us who don't use p/w protected shares as the app forces you to type in username and p/w (see screenshot). Also, it isn't remote friendly, so you really need a USB keyboard attached.
  • The updated HiMedia (native) player now automatically returns you to where you last left off if the video is long (like a full movie). It takes you to the beginning with short clips. No more prompt whether to resume or start from beginning. HiMedia should reinstate this feature, and get rid of the silly video stop/exit confirmation prompt instead. Also, I don't know how they're determining in which videos, at which length (or perhaps filesize), to resume for and which not.
  • 1080p/23.976 full BD rip to MKV is output at 23.97, but player incorrectly identifies video as 47.94. However, playback is smooth and I'm not seeing microstutters... as 47.94 is really twice the value of 23.97. HiMedia should still properly address FPS-in rate however. Usually FPS like 25.000 at 50.000, or 30.000 at 60.000 are okay for playback w/o issues, but I'm not sure if it's okay for 23.976 and 29.970.
  • 1080p/23.976 re-encoded MKV (like 1920x800 for example, a scope movie minus black bars) is also output at 47.94. Same comments as above.
  • 3D MVC ISO 1080p/23.976 is output at 24.000. Microstutters are still present Sad.
  • 1080p/29.970 is output at 29.97, but player incorrectly identifies video as 59.94. However, like above instance, playback is smooth and there are no microstutters... as 59.94 is really twice the value of 29.97.
  • 4K H.264 23.976 is perfect, FPS in and out.
  • 4K HEVC 23.976 is perfect, FPS in and out.
  • 1080p and 4K 24.000 FPS are both perfect, FPS in and out.
