Thanks for the advice and encouragement. Yes, as an early adopter, I've been at this same point (buggy firmware, unoptimized drivers) with other devices (Amlogic M8; Minix Neo-X8; Fire TV...). It can be brutal, eventually it comes right.
But I'm not sitting on my hands waiting:
1. Eric of GeekBuying is following this thread closely and, to his great credit, took the initiative to PM me asking for my video test files and committing to follow though with the manufacturer. I think he is doing that.
2. I have joined Tronsmart's own (under-utilized) forum, with a section dedicated to the Draco, where I have represented my main findings quite emphatically...
There's a reply from Tronsmart to me there which indicates they are preparing new firmware in response to the insights and criticisms provided by our discussion here. I think we have been heard. There is even a hint that they are collaborating with PowerVR on improving the GPU functioning specifically.
3. I will write to Koying, as you suggest. He has my great respect. I'm sure he'd also be gratified to hear from others here about their hopes for his intervention.
And yes, my box did arrive fast! Eric's team put on their skates and I ponied up for DHL...
