  be used to choose, for images, which contain simultenously multichannel
  and stereo variants, which variant to use (default is Multichannel).

  models is not enough for stable playback.)

• Improvement: Realtek models: Added support for playback of very large
  (very long) audio files in various lossless formats (SACD DSF/DFF/ISO,
  FLAC, APE, WavPack) (for examples, 192/24 audio file longer than 70

  limitation).

• Improvement: Dune HD Pro 4K II model: auto framerate switching for
  Android applications: added support for previously unsupported Android
  applications.

• This firmware is almost completely equivalent to the version
  200702_2251_r15.

• NOTE: This firmware includes some internal changes, which make it
  impossible to rollback to old firmware versions. After this firmware
  version is installed, it is impossible to install any firmware version
  older than the version 200920_0001_r15.

• Minor changes in the list of preinstalled applications.

• New feature: Dune HD Pro 4K II model: added support for auto framerate

  Netflix screen (when a new trailers starts to play after each cursor
  movement), unneeded framerate switching is not performed.

  in Netflix (including support for both DD+ and Atmos tracks in Netflix).

  (Works similarly to remembering of the latest chosen subtitle track.)

• New feature: automatic selection of audio track by language when playing
  files. The language to use is determined by the setting "Setup / Playback
  / Language / Audio language". The default setting value is "Auto", which
  means to use "Interface language" setting. (Works similarly to automatic
  selection of subtitle track.)

  files based on the previous user's choice when switching from one file to
  another in a playlist. Helpful e.g. when playing several episodes of a TV

  in photo viewer.

• New feature: the built-in SMB server now provides access not only to
  connected USB/SATA drives, but also to the built-in flash memory (to the
  folder available as "Sources / Built-in memory"). This allows convenient

  having 32GB flash memory) or any other files into the built-in flash
  memory.

• New feature: Realtek models: now all Realtek models have a preinstalled
  icon for HiByMusic application in "Android apps" menu. (Previously only
