I have 2 problems with MX Player on the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0:

1.
HW+ mode crashes MX Player. I already sent a crash report.

2.
Aspect is not always correct. For example, I have a 720x576 16:9 file and the tablet is 16:10, so I should have small black bars at the top and bottom when using fit to screen mode and full width. But it uses full width and way too big black bars. Also, 100% mode is full width, which is not correct either. I can only use stretch mode, but then the aspect is a little off (16:10 vs 16:9).
The same file works with the correct aspects in MX Player on all my other devices (Nexus 5, LG G Pad, China 7" tablet).
The same file has correct aspect on the Tab 4 using Dice Player or the Samsung Video Player.
MX Player thinks the file is 1024x576 on all devices (even those where the aspect shows correct).

Any help/hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
