Yep, nice review by @Olivier. I like the A5... but, don't care for the internal scraper/jukebox... so, use VidOn XBMC.

My concern is whether eGreat can really get VidOn to implement 23.976 while not breaking HD audio. To date, VidOn has NOT been able to do this w/any box. The other small issue is lack of flipeyes for 3D, which I'd think VidOn can fix.

@ hdmkv please post on Egreat forum if you get some buggy situation for auto framerate switching.

F/W v1.1.0.7 have
 
- auto framerate switching for Egreat player and VidonXBMC
Video FPS        HDMI Output

25/50fps            50Hz
30/60fps            60Hz
23.976fps           23.97Hz
24fps                   24Hz
29.970fps           29.97Hz / for 2160p
29.970fps           59.94Hz / not SDK support for 2160p
59.940fps           59.94Hz / not SDK support for 2160p

3D BD with 23.976fps is play to 24Hz videoput, limited by SDK support.

- flip eyes for 3D for Egreat Player and for moment limited to SBS format on VidonXBMC.

Hello all,

happy to see you again  :)

I received an Egreat A10 and i created a thread on French forum Homecinema-fr.com, i will do the english translation today or tomorrow.

I have not finished testing, i'll do an update of my thread

for the test of 23.976 support, i plugged the A10 directly to my TV,  i do not trust my onkyo 656

see you

Hello All,

the dolby atmos works properly with the Egreat A5 and A10.

in fact, it was the Demo Disc atmos 2016 who had a problem.

i used Demo disc Atmos 2015 and everythings works

i downloaded the Test Tone Atmos 5.1.2 on the site Dolby and it is works properly.

sorry for the inconvenience

Hello pcristi,

Thanks for the information

- flip eyes for 3D for Egreat Player and for moment limited to SBS format on VidonXBMC.

I tested only ISO 3D.

I will edit my discussions boards.
