i can't seem to find the path after upgrade to 1.0.6 non-emmc version.. please help...

i assume u now have 1.0.6 non emmc china version.

to get to the folder to place an advancedsetting.xml file, u can't get there with file manager. u need an app called es file explorer, which can be found with playstore. however, that firmware u got, think playstore is not there. so, u need to get the apk from elsewhere (google to it) into usb drive, install it via file manager.

with es explorer, u first need to click tools, show all files. if not, some files will remain hidden.

then u copy the advancedsettings.xml file from usb (sd1) and paste (overwrite if there is already same file name) onto the right folder with this path:
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata

i had initially used this xml file on xbmc 12.3 in 1.0.6 non-emmc china on a q5ii non-emmc. not perfect but there is good improvement:


now, i use this one copied from 1.0.6 emmc eng in a q5ii emmc.


u can try both, pretty sure 2nd file works better. q5ii emmc and non-emmc, i now hv both running xbmc 12.3 smoothly, no crashing, minimal lagging with hd. any q5ii user not getting that is missing a lot!

thanks a million... now just need to know where to get esexplorer apk...

sorry, it called es file explorer.

Hay Guys,

I recently bought the Q5 II eMMC 1.0.5 and having issues with XBMC 12.3 Frodo constantly crashing.

I have dumped the log file via debug mode but cant see anything suspicious/pattern. Randomly crashes when playing local movie and/or streaming tv/movie via addons.

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks

u need to update to 1.0.6 emmc eng. it comes with xbmc 12.2 with correct advancedsettings.xml. it's available, get firmware from seller. but it is 12.2, some addons can't enable like in 12.3.

another way is to add or change the advancedsettings.xml in yr current 12.3. i hv written several posts on that in this thread, just scroll backwards....

go to the setting change back to TV mode if u r on phone mode or the otherwise

Thanks for quick reply.

Have you got link to the 1.0.6 en eMMC update?

ok manage to get the apk and set the advancedsettings.xml accordingly ( used the 2nd version). it shows improvement when watching HD, however when there are fast scenes like fighting of fast cars it still tends to lag alittle but the major problem is that whenever scenes like that occurs, the sound is not in sync with the picture (sound is faster than picture).

Was wondering would it be because of hardware or Unifi (5mbps) line....

yep, that happens with some 1080. even with 10mbps speed.

does not happen with 720 and lower.

try tweaking xbmc video/audio settings.

or press pause for a few seconds, then resume play.



u can also try the first advancedsetting.xml which increase cache size by 20 times but nothing else.

nice to know u got it!

alright, will try increase cachebuffer...

thanks a million ^^

oohhhh no... i've tried to increase the cachebuffer by 5 times den every 20 minutes it crashes... revert back to the origirnal version 2 xml file..still the same thing... tried uninstalling and reinstall and use back the version 2 xml file... still the same...

what is happening???? @.@

the 2nd advancedsetting has cache 5242880 originally.
on my unit, i actually changed that to 104857600, 20 times.
(if u have noticed, in mashup-hackermils, there is an option to increase the buffer too - it increases 5242880 by 4 times.)
result is not interesting - no change in terms of some 1080 stuttering, but is stable like original.
which probably means the buffer size is not critical or limit reached in this case when some other restrictions have been taken care of.
104857600 is an example given in the xbmcwiki page which increases buffer to 100mb, will use 300mb live memory, shud be ok.

no need to remove and reinstall xbmc 12.3. just copy and paste/overwrite the xml onto right folder.
also, go to settings, apps, xbmc and clear cache - this may help.

if u experience crashing again, it may be due to something else. could be yr broadband speed unstable or unusually weak at that time.
in my experience, xbmc crashing is common when broadband speed becomes unstable or goes to a low intermittently.

ohhhh did not know that internet speed will cause xbmc to crash... thought is the advancedsettings.xml that is the root cause... will try to restart Unifi and see how it goes... thanks again...

if broadband speed is poor or unstable, however big the buffer is won't help.

the advancedsetting.xml is to deal with certain parameters of xbmc as himedia chipset is not supported.

that's my understanding...

ok its true that u said xbmc crash sometimes is cause by internet speed... i restart my Unifi modem n router, n it is working normal again even without changing the advancedsettings.xml...

but now even 720p lags abit... i guess is the line speed that causing it...
