Question..
Is there a list of maybe what fixes are being worked on if any for Android and LibreELEC? That way I don't need to bring up anything if its already been brought up? I didn't see or probably missed this info on the Wetek forums.

Dragon Ball Super
Disclaimer: I didn't upload the video.
It plays perfectly for me using Android, but only if I disable AMLogic codec and let mediacodec handle it. This means LibreELEC will have issues since they need the AMLogic codec for hardware decoding (for now).

Issue with DTS-HD MA playback using Wetek Media Player.
DTS-HD MA audio works with audio passthrough enabled only at 60Hz playback.
Regular DTS and Dolby are working correctly using passthrough audio at 60Hz and 24Hz playback.
If I change WMP to adjust display frame rate to 'always" or "start/stop", there is no audio passed to my AVR (no DTS-HD MA logo) at 24Hz playback.
I've tried all combinations of Level1 or 2 and adding WMP to display refresh rate app.
i can provide logs if requested.
Edit:
I can get 24Hz playback with DTS-HD MA audio if I select Level 2 in Wetek display settings and don't add WMP to the display refresh rate app or enable "adjust display frame rate" setting in WMP.

I think I'm going to go for a Wetek Hub, but wondering if there's any voucher codes for them at the minute to save a few dollars, or if i can buy it through the kodi foundation to support the project?

So, installed wxrtasy's LibreELEC just now.
Problem: The network speed seems to be really, really slow, buffering a movie takes 10-20s. Connected via Ethernet to my NAS, not WiFi. Works much better in the Wetek OS, but still rather slow compared to my HTPC.
Another thing I noticed: The scrolling through my (small) Movie library is kind of slow in both versions. It looks like my locally stored movie information/jpegs are not scaled down. They look like very high resolution jpegs (which they are) displayed in a smaller size. Different to the Kodi on my HTPC.
Thanks for any advice!

After a shutdown and reboot I think it works much better now, will also investigate further.

Had the same problem with my HUB (one of the first ones shipped) and I had to send it back for an exchanged one.
Seems like there is a handshake problem at the port. Others reported that when you force a 100 mbit connection via the router, then speed gets better. I didn´t experience that, so I asked WeTeK for a replacement.
The new one has yet to arrive, so I cannot say if it got better.

I have been researching a suitable device for me - I have found out that an intel NUC might be an overkill for my needs and ended up reading about android boxes. I apologize in advance for my naive question, but since I have zero experience with them (and very little experience with android itself - had a windows mobile phone till 2015) here goes...
Will this tiny box play HEVC 10bit 1080p content smoothly over WiFi?
I plan to use WeTec HUB for outdoor vieweing (terrace, next to house), using a 1080p projector and some mediocre 2.0 or 2.1 or soundbar speakers. The content is on a NAS (with all KODI extra files... posters, thumbs, nfos... all stored locally as well). I did read it downsamples it to 8bit viewing, which isn't an issue (outdoorsy viewing...).

It's possible, depending on the bitrate of the file and the network. However, it's also possible for 1080P HEVC files to be made that max out the wifi.
Honestly, the Nvidia Shield is the only HEVC-capable box that I've seen that also includes the wifi to handle crazy big files. However, even then, it still depends on the bitrate.
