Guess what outcry would happen if we would fuck up the colors that much here in kodi ...
Agreed.  Recently picked up a 2019 Cube to try and I have been very disappointed.  The device is quick, like really quick, but the BT.2020 colour space issues when attached to an AVR are unacceptable.  The device never switches to Rec. 709 when set to Adaptive Dynamic Range.  8-bit, Up to 10-Bit, Up to 12-bit, Auto Colour Space, RGB, YCbCr - all of them behave the same - SDR is output using the BT.2020 colour space.  When connected directly to the TV the issue isn't nearly as bad but its still there.  When connected to an AVR the colours are all sorts of wrong.  The Fire TV Stick 4K is a night and day difference with colour space switching that works and behaves properly.

Kodi (using latest fritschfiretv build) also doesn't seem to function correctly.  Skipped ahead or back causes most files to freeze up while the playback timer continues and audio seems to take a second or two to sync up and sometimes doesn't work at all requiring a stop/start of the file.  Haven't spent too much time trying to troubleshoot it because with the colour issues its not really worth the effort.

Raised a service ticket with Amazon Customer Service and after an hour or so of going back and forth they decided to escalate the colour space issue to the engineering team.  Said it would be a week or two before they heard back but they would update me via email once a response was received.  Hopefully they can reproduce the colour space issues, should be pretty easy, and fix them so that this becomes a serviceable Kodi device.  As is I wouldn't recommend it over the Fire TV Stick 4K.
