WeTek Hub - 24p HD Netflix - HD Kodi Audio - 10bit HEVC - Lollipop - 4K
Some observations with Kodi Krypton on Android:

- App Refresh Switching is simply not reliable enough at the moment on any Android OS using Marshmallow or Nougat.
numerous nVIDIA Shield owners are having all sorts of fun and games. If its not colorspace problems, its HD Audio passthrough issues when Refresh Switching.
I've seen problems with HDCP protection status and subsequently Netflix playback as well on this test MM AMLogic Hub after manually switching Refresh Rates inside the SPMC App too.

I strongly suspect its why AMLogic have disabled App Refresh Switching for 4K DRM HDCP capable Netflix Streaming Marshmallow platforms. Like the Mi Box and Hub. This is not a coincidence.

- App Resolution Switching is not properly implemented, if at all on any Android OS hardware platforms.
App Resolution Switching is actually disabled when playing 2160p content at a Kodi Krypton GUI of 1080p on AMLogic Android.

- TvHeadend OTA TV streaming & deinterlacing using Kodi Krypton 17.0 final is actually buggy with Android Kodi at the moment. nVIDIA Shield owners are also having problems, details seen over HERE. This is not exclusively an AMLogic or Hub problem. Recorded Interlaced HD content does not seem to suffer as many Android Kodi deinterlacing problems.

My point is, if you are a serious Kodi power user and want virtually all the features, including those 3 given above to work - you simply do not use any version of Android Kodi on any Hardware platform full stop. Android OS is an inherently unstable platform with regular OS changes that always breaks something with every OS update.

Then you have the fact - there is no regular Android Kodi codebase maintainer. Its one of the primary reasons why everything for Android Kodi video now goes through the standard Mediacodec API.

So in summary, its a very good thing that WeTek Hub - Kodi "power users" can Dual Boot easily into a comparatively stable Linux like OS and run LibreELEC Kodi Krypton at speed with Kodi features that "just work" relatively reliably. Leaving the Android OS for Android Apps use only. Smile
