23.976 not supported in latest firmware (affects 3D ISO's only)

1. Not necessarily. ATMOS is an addition to True-HD, there are many products that support True-HD but not ATMOS. As far as I am aware neither H8 or Zidoo X6 support ATMOS. Only Himedia Q5/Q10/M3.

2. No idea. It's been replaced by 3D options so I guess during 3D development they were looking for somewhere to put the 3D menu. Zoom is a fairly minor feature for for most people.

4. Zidoo firmware is pretty good, true. However, after 1.0.7 release H8 firmware and Zidoo firmwares are quite similar. It is much harder to fix a fundamental hardware problem (casing too small causing overheating) then it is to fix a firmware problem like no zoom. Himedia have the hardware fundamentally right with H8 and the firmware will continue to be developed.

1. Atmos works on my 5 year old WD TV Live Plus.
All it needs is bitstream RAW output and Dolby TrueHD support.

2. Okay I see what you mean but when you play a video with Kodi you can pause it, go to VIDEO SETTINGS, and then you will see
a) Pixel ratio
b) Vertical shift
c) Zoom amount

I really doubt they deleted that.

4. I agree with what you said. So in that case should I return my HiMedia Q5 and just buy the HiMedia H8 once Atmos support is ready?

because HiMedia H8 seems to have everything I want.

Update on this issue... 23.976 being displayed at 24.000 is only for 3D ISO's. All 23.976 2D is playing at proper 23.976. Details here.

So audio stutter is back or not?
Will this further be inspected or not?

Totally random. Sometimes you get no drops in a movie, other times maybe 1-2 drops, and last weekend when I watched the new 'Terminator' movie 3D ISO, about a dozen or more drops.

but only in 3d?

Hate it , not one flawless mediaplayer with kodi around

For 3D, not yet. For 2D, Chromebox is as close to flawless as you can get.
