Thank you for your interesting post. I own a YAMAHA CX A5100 processor and will check whether it's default mode is 2. The processor is currently connected to a Sony Vpl Vw520es. Would welcome if you post the best settings that you got of your Q10pro.

I`ve done it and had no problems.

I can`t get the hands off............

As I described some post before, I get no video signal after the upgrade when I use the wrapper to play 4K films.
Now I`m one step ahead, after a new upgrade ( I went back to the release version meanwhile), the 4K films plays with the wrapper also.

The secret was the video color space settings as follows:

YCbCr444 8 Bit works
YCbCr444 10 Bit not possible (we know that)
YCbCr420 8Bit don`t works
YCbCr440 10Bit don`t works

The HDR Mode was set to HDR10 all the time.
The settings where made in the "advance options".

I don`t understand why 420 doesn`t work, maybe some experts has A meaning about this?
The next question for me is the difference between the two selection menus for the same video color space settings.

The default is mode 2, I had to change to mode 1.
I also have this yamaha CX-A5100.
Hope this helps.

In what app?

If you go to the pre-installed file browser (My Apps - FileManager), can you see the HDD?

The problem appears with Kodi when I tried to play a movie !!! No movie just a message asking if I want to delete the file ... I checked the the hard drive with Kodi  and FileManager ... No HDD !!! I turned off Q10 and tried again HDD is recognized but no way to play movie with Kodi , still the same message ...

Question: Why it doesn't work with internal HDD

Normally it is not possible to move any > 2 TB HDD between Internal and a USB Enclosure due to incompatible formats being required for each.
The only exception is an USB-Docking with explicit support for GPT (very recent units only). The HDD's in any standard enclosure being sold with more or less sealed housings are never compatible. You may see the drive if you are (un)lucky when moved but the content is not accessible. That is absolutely normal. Playing around with it when inserted in the wrong platform can actually destroy your content.

To move a HDD you need to backup the full content, reformat for new deployment and restore all content again. Just moved a few HDD myself from USB enclosures to a 4-port USB Docking. These now work also Internally (Plug & Play). 

Please read my tutorial for the why and how of this.

Question: Why it doesn't work with internal HDD

If you have an internal HDD with media.  Add that Media to Kodi.  It will all work.
If you then plug in another usb device you will find that the internal HDD will have moved to a different device id so kodi will no longer see it.  Remove the other usb device.  Restart q10 and it will work again.

This is one of the downsides of having the q10's internal hdd connected as usb device.  cost cutting... 

Also its why this line in the details for the q10 pro is misleading. 

"INTERNAL 3.5" HDD BAY Q10 Pro accepts an internal 3.5" SATA hard drive up to 8TB. Perfect if you have a large collection of video that you'd prefer to access locally."

It indicates you has sata.  When in fact it should say..  Big hole in q10 pro to allow you to hide your usb device inside.

It is on my bug list reported. The Internal HDD should be detected as HDD not SD or USB with an unique ICON being used.
It is an underlying Android thing as Smart Phones have only one or the other. OpenElec does a far better job here using the same hardware platform.

But isn't the internal drive just a sata to usb connector and the actual drive is connected to the usb bus?

I never done that , the HDD ( 4 TB)  was at the beginning internal with media and well playing with Kodi ....
Later for some reason I don't know it was impossible to play the movies and to see the HDD .

After that as I said in my post I install the same HDD in an external Box without doing anything else and that solved my problem !!!!!!
