Beta0 Pie 9.0 for the Mi Box 3 (MDZ-16-AB) Version is r2810

Is Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD passthrough still exist? I'm beta tester mibox3 too, but haven't updated yet, afraid this feature gone like mibox s

2016 Mi Box3 - PIE.OTA-BETA0:

Installed today...

Positives:

• I’m impressed we are still getting support !
  
• Android TV Pie is smoother and snappier.
  
• Deinterlacing for FTA TV is now Full Motion and much improved with perfect mpeg2.
  
• H.264 deinterlacing is perfect too IF I use a Ugreen USB3 > LAN adapter.
  
• Netflix / Prime video etc. DD+ > DD audio downmixing should now work. (untested)
  
• Kodi & SmartYoutube auto Refresh Rate switching still works.
  
• my Ugreen USB3 > GigaE LAN adapter still works
  
• Since last used the Mi Box YouTube & Google Play Movies Apps now works with HDR
  

Negatives:

• As suspected you lose Kodi HD audio passthrough.
  It’s now the same as all other AMLogic chipset - Android TV Pie v9.0 devices only supporting 2.0 PCM, 5.1 DD, DD+ and DTS audio passthrough.
  
• Android TV / Kodi GUI at 1080p. --->>> the Mi Box still auto refresh switches to to the highest supported TV resolution for ALL video content when it should - only - do that do that when actually playing back 4K content.
