The playercore factory thing is sometimes a hit and miss.
Unless it is edited properly.
Perhaps nicety can post the one that works

believe this was the one he posted:

Not sure if this is the same for you guys. But here is my findings regarding XBMC.

I am on firmware 1.0.3. I tested XMBC 12.2 "Frodo"

the playercorefactory.xml is broken here...

the solution is to use a non official version with a fix. unfortunately this xbmc is not under 12.2 and is based under the newer alpha xbmc 13. hence, it is unstable and some add on is broken.

I not sure if this playercorefactory.xml issue is a xbmc issue or a himedia firmware issue. i suspect its the later.

on a side note, they have integrated libstagefright library into xbmc 13... this allow for the internal player to use the hardware acceleration. I've tested this on 720p and 1080p vid. It buggy and sometimes will cause xbmc to crash. But when it work, it works very nicely. I am looking forward to this very much...

Are you using the nightly builds?
Can it even load without forceclose

The author compile it from the nightly i believe... but i tested it, it seems stable except for the broken add on. its not the bleeding edge one.. so its less prone to crash...

I might consider going back to this build soon.. I will need to study more on it when I find the time.

This build doesnt work with my Q5

I stream qvod on my q5, this 2 weeks very slow load only 6kb sometimes stop,PPTV also slow , lagging.

I use streamyx 1mb

I have upgrade firmware to 1.1.4 no changes.

What could i do now??


any sifu can help.

Disclaimer : I am using Q5II.

Did anyone have success with resolving the jerkiness with Frodo 12.2, Q5II 1.0.3 and the playercorefactory.xml file? Or only with the Q5?

Thanks for the multiple mirror tips~

As for XBMC, i'm currently using the XAF Custom Build for NEON Touch Screen Devices (however I think a mouse is required for the cursor selecting, otherwise just get Hi-control apps)

http://www.xbmchub.com/blog/2013/05/04/bri...uild-must-have/

I dont hv any black screen issue so far as I always delete my cache every time I watched anything. And I dint use any external player at all cos sometimes I need subtitles for some movies.
So, you guys might give it a try.

Just personal experience, bear your own risk~

Bro, please find below video player in xBMC with different external player in Q5II 1.0.3 (English version)
P/S : Here refer to play media file from local HDD, online streaming jerking is due to internet bottleneck not the player.

Using Native xBMC player with serious jerking


Using MX Player


Using Himedia player

Bro, try not to use TM DNS. Just Google "Public DNS" to get the IP.

I too having the same problem...
Bro, how does it work? How to set the IP in Q5II?

Bro nicety, thanks a lot for the clear videos illustrating, meaning Himedia player is the best? Do you mean we need to change the playercorefactory.xml file to those codelines you listed above in order to trigger XBMC to use MX player? What should we do with those ":" ha....

Also my problem is really the video lagging the audio, is that still related to internet bottleneck? Cos running similar video streaming off chinese sites like funshion doesn't lag, hence shouldn't be due to bandwidth? But then again some streams on Q5II are awesome smooth too, so probably is the problem with some of the sources that are streaming.

Which are some of the most reliable addon streams so far?

Hi nicety,

I also facing slow streaming with most of the streaming apps including PPS on my 4MB streamyx line. Currently using Google DNS btw. Do I need to use china proxy to get smoother streaming? Any fast china proxy to recommend?

Regards,
Roger

Just follow the steps pmed to you.

Please check your Internet first, if you bottleneck is Internet then no need to change DNS. My QVOD go up to 350KB/s. Pls cross check with few QVOD web site I given to you earlier.

Proxy is used to bypass Geo restriction, it will not help to boost the performance. Instead proxy some time slow down. Please pm me the list of your targeted streaming, let me find if any alternative for you.

nicety i think i need yr instruction as well. even with 5mb unifi cant seem to get xbmc n most of the streaming programs working well. not loading n lagging. not watchable.

btw the dns given by u is working fine with netflix. thx a lot.

Sure, my customers always have different priority. Just PM to you.

The solution only help if TM throttle your internet. If the root cause come from the content server or international trunk bottleneck then it will not help. xBMC online streaming is free, you need some effort to search for good content providers. There are hundreds of different content providers, you need to search for it. Alternatively, you can try the XBMC paid service as recommended by @Xnet

Regarding the Netflix, it is important to get the right Netflix reseller as they knew better than me.
