Running the latest 2.1.30 firmware and have tested a MKV file with 4K UHD HDR 60FPS and the X8 just plays it back at 30hz/fps

I was on the understanding that the RTD1295 chip could handle 4K HDR @ 60fps no problem, but mine does not tested on HT2 app as well as latest Kodi 18.4

Just for reference my OLED TV does do 4k HDR @ 60fps and so does my Av Receiver i also have the latest High speed with Ethernet HDMI cables.

anyone know what the problem could be
