I tested it with the hope of finding a solution for the known aspect ratio bug.

It's almost perfect. The aspect ratio seems to be ok for an 3840x1600 MKV but it fills the black bars wrong. So the video area is cutted at the bottom (this also happens with MX Player).

I will continue testing tonight.

Need some advise - because we can't add the internal Harddisk (Q10 Pro) folders to the library is the solution to use the SMB function of the box and add the movies from a folder of the SMB share?

so aac 5.1 - does that carry through ok and you get 5.1 sound?

Reason why i ask is often my x265 files contain aac 5.1 sound so i want 5.1 sound output

 I am using Q5 Pro with Android 7.0 2.0.3 firmware. Cannot get it to work... paid version. Any solution? Used to work in 2.0.1

Are you referring to the audio pass through? I know that in Archios Player, there is a setting where you can choose between mode 1 and mode 2 pass through. I suspect that mode 2 is the path the Kodi development team has gone into which is SDK v23 and up only and mode 1 would suggest it is the old way of passing through.

I tested mode 1 on my 1.1.0 firmware. At first I did not have pass through because this setting is, by default, set to off. If you have upgraded and not changed this setting from off to something else, you might not have pass through audio.

There were several updates the last months... but still no solution for the subtitle fix and the internal HD also not possible to add to the library

Actually you can now add the internal HDD to the library (I forget how I did it but it seemed simple at the time via the Android directory) as I updated Archos after upgrading to firmware 2.0.4
It took a long time to re-index all my files....
Reverted to using Kodi 17.3 as my preference (with wrapper).
