I hope you are wrong, some user reported they get correct aspect ratio and position with Kodi player and Android 7 FW 2.0.3.
I don't have HDR display to test, but debug information look like user witch reported Kodi play correct are right.

LE: If anyone have HDR display, patience can test repack CFW v2.0.3 with MX Player/Archos Video Player, debug info look good, but need confirmation if display recognize as HDR.

HDR-->SDR (Kodi player)




HDR-->HDR  (Kodi player)




Reported SDK bug

Reported  HiMediaVideoPlayer fullscreen bug

after 4/5 months without a fix for a stupid thing (aspect ratio) we can say officially it's a hardware problem, the "KING" of the 4K HDR players cannot play CORRECTLY most of the 4K HDR movies available on the net! what a FLOP!! 150 EURO wasted!! never buy himedia again! (i'm changing my amazon review to 1 star)

with hardware problem there's only a solution: sell this shit and buy another new box... can someone suggest me one between zidoo x8/x9 or minix u9 that can plays all movies format CORRECTLY (all hdr movies included!!)

bye

They are very good rip (HDMI capture + real HDR metadata captured) still not untouched video available on the net (just one ,smurfs) but very good quality for those rip (search for lucy 4k hdr....;)

NO it's Bluray rip -> pumped-up to BT. 2020/HDR.  search better doom9 forum  ;)

The final file is HEVC  BT. 2020/HDR , but it's  HDR home-made very very different to real HDR come from  master 4k/2k film.

And  NOPE , HDMI-in capture is very BAD ... highlight is burned ! and audio is off sync! ecc....

Disagree.

1: I didn't experience any highlight burns or offsync audio. I mean, come on... how hard is to sync an audio with a video..? What noobish rips do you encounter?
2: Actually a better rls has pretty good HDR, I recommend you reading this:
http://tekno3d.com/2017/01/12/visionplus-vs-dolby-vision-vs-hdr10/
3: I came across so many utterly bad DVD/BluRay published by different studios vs a lot of home-made, cleaned up and good rls  that I don't really believe the "publisher superiority".  Furthermore you can check http://www.dvdbeaver.com/ to see how can different publishers go all wrong with horrible picture quality with the different transfers.

Can you send me which one was the pirate video link..? Because I didn't recall posting anything pirated here. A was just didn't agree looun and made my points with facts. So I don't understand why do you deleted my post if not because I didn't agree with looun on something.

Q10 Pro cannot play from UHD BDMV folder. You will have to go to the Stream folder and select the biggest m2ts file!

cfw 2.0.3 + latest mx player version (DTS/AC3 patched!) play 4K HDR movies "available on the net..." perfectly tested on my Z9D and KS9000 (hw decoding OK, HDR10 recognized OK, aspect ratio OK, smooth 24p OK, DTS-HD/TRUEHD passthrough OK!) bye! ;)

Thanks for the info - If other players like MX and Kodi-native do not present the HDR aspect ratio issue, it makes me wonder why Himedia keeps pointing to the need of an SDK update. For me it sounds like this would be just a fix on the Q10/Q5 Native Player apk....

KODI (shitty) not pass any audio HD only DD5.1, best solution actually is MX player! so i think himedia could solve this software problem quickly......
