Denon seems to have more trouble with it. Perhaps this is also due to the incompatibility of the SoCs with each other. Denon probably uses others like Yamaha.
But we have already found out in the German forum that the devices that are affected play the material elsewhere. That's why it can only be the HiMedia who causes the trouble.

Yepp, can confirm this bug. AutoFM Script should solve this bug atm.

Only 1 small issue, the player now seems to forget my resolution settings on restart. I set it at 2160p50, but when I restart the player it reverts to 1080i50.

This is a known issue since we had 2.0.0 or so. Still not fixxed.

Also 1 quick question, back when I had 1.0.8 Kodi, the back button let me go up the directory structure. Now with 2.0.4 Krypton, the back button exits me to the top menu. I had a look at input configuration but couldn't figure it out.

You have to disable joystick support in kodi. Goto Addons-->User-Addons-->Peripheral Library(or something else, dont know teh excactly word)-->Joystick Support and deactivate it.

Believe me. There is no magic or voodoo from IE what your tv cant do. Its only playing with gamma, contrast and brightness. Nothing else.

And btw. the IE doesnt work on 4k und 4k HDR material. Sharpness and HDR saturation still not work on 2k material. Never worked since they released the pro devices . @futeko.com. Maybe you can report it to himedia.

It doesnt look worst without IE. It looks more realisitic without black and white crush. If you want unrealistic pictures, use the dynamic contrast and other stuff of your tv. It has the same effect.

WinRar works too.

It seems so. Futeko said the fix came after the hdr bug fix. So we have to wait for another 3 months (or more) till we get hd audio passthrough with kodi player.
