something i just read about HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

4k material not a lot, hdr10 material even less, Dolby Vision... some with Netflix, with a logo:

Dolby Vision is the "highest" - will need source, player and TV capable for that.
i hv tested many video types with q10pro - excellent results.

for audio, atmos is quite common but dtsx is not.

hevc and 10 bit quite common but HDR10 and dolby vision is not easily available yet.

still, q10pro can deliver excellent results if u play good files with 4k tv and 4k pass thru AVR.

get the better files which are typically big - for 55 min tv show - 3gb 720p, 6gb 1080p and 13gb 4k.

2 hr movie will be like 66gb. biggrin.gif

q10po can handle all of them nicely, excellent colors and vibrancy on yr tv, dtshdma/ddtru hd audio. rclxms.gif

and i am certain the result with q10pro is better than its predecessor, q16.

Thanks AVFAN.  One week of Q10 and it's been great so far.
Still on an old TV LGLM7600 and Pioneer HTZ 818BD...which is getting old.

Now being poisoned by 4k tv and Dolby Vision.... any tips for a new set up. Probably 55 to 65 inches and a soundbar. Suggestions most welcome to help with my research!

Thank you very much for your appreciation of Q10 Pro with the best of breed set top box chipset. Hisilicon, division under innovation company Huawei technology has been working closely with Dolby since 2015 to bring the Dolby Vision into Digital Home Communication.

http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/2015...olby-Vision-HDR

Although 4K Dolby Vision content still new, not easy to obtain at the moment but this future proof technology will come very soon and rapidly. It is the same when I bring in Q16 HEVC 4K two years ago, that time the 4K and HEVC content are not ready but today you can see HEVC and 4K content are available widely. With the recent firmware update to Android 7, Himedia made the right decision to provide further future proof product. Buyer has the chance to switch between Android 5 and Android 7 base on their needs.

it is surely better to be ahead rather than behind! rclxms.gif


i am not sure and has not done enough tests but i find q10pro kodi17 can stream kodi online hevc while q16 on kodi 16.1 cannot.

q16 can do local playback hevc; just cannot stream hevc online.

another device of mine, android 5.1 kodi 17, also cannot do hevc properly.

do u know if this has to do with the chipset, android version or kodi version?

There is significant revamp of audio video coding in Kodi 17. According to Kodi 17 change log -> 1.9 Android specific, there is improvement of HEVC playback. The improvements come from the Kodi.

Hi Bro,

Checked with you, this Q10 pro is an android box, can it access to official google playstore international to get apps? Is this an international version Q10 pro?

Nicety/all Mele air mouse users

Do we need to calibrate the air mouse? Quite difficult to move the cursor to the point to where we want? Very different from my LG air remote as it goes all over the place regardless of slow or normal hand movement.

The centre wheel with arrow if depress stays in and does not pop out - Is this normal?

Arrow also points at 10 o'clock- what's this buttons function?

Thanks

Sorry bro, hope you don't mind I answer you in the Mele Air mouse thread since this is not Q10 Pro question.

futeko reported:

QUOTE
HiMedia have informed us that the next Android 7 firmware is delayed until ~ end March due to more work being required from HiSilicon (Q5/Q10 Pro chipset manufacturer and HiMedia partner company).
We have requested a list of what will be fixed from HiMedia in this firmware and will update this thread when we have it.

meanwhile, i am pleased to find that with my upgraded unifi 50mbps, i can now stream up to 20gb (typically 1080p dtshdma) files on kodi/quasar with path set to the internal HDD.

this is very convenient! rclxms.gif

but it is not good enough since audio is only 2.0.

waiting for new firmware to fix the audio part to have hd audio passthrough or a new wrapper.

meanwhile, to get dtshdma from a file like that, need to wait for stream to complete, saved, then playback with himedia native player.

q10pro playback... i have yet to come across ONE file that it will not play properly! biggrin.gif

the imprex 2.0 engine is excellent, no doubt.

and if u think the PQ and AQ is great on yr current set up, wait till u upgrade to 4k tv, 4k AVR! thumbup.gif

Wrapper... I m curious...

Wrapper is not required if using native himedia player which i think is easier and faster.

I guess as a minix user, u r used to playback with kodi, so u need the wrapper, correct?

I tried the wrapper in kodi, works fine for local playback incl hd audio... but need to set the both q10pro and avr video and audio settings correctly.

If using old equipment, can be tricky...


About the wrapper, with current firmware 2.0.1, it works on kodi for local playback but it does not work with kodi17.1 online streams.

Without the wrapper, it can't do dts or dd, so kodi will give just 2.0 audio.

Waiting for new firmware to fix this... soon, i read.


QUOTE
Using Android 7 firmware 2.0.1 or Android 5.1 firmware 1.0.9:

With Kodi 16.1:
- All HD-Audio (e.g. 7.1 channel) from local sources (USB/SATA/Samba/NFS) using Kodi+wrapper.
- Up to 5.1 channel audio (DTS / AC3) from local sources (USB/SATA/Samba/NFS) using Kodi internal player.
- Up to 5.1 channel audio (DTS / AC3) from Kodi streaming add-ons using Kodi internal player.

With Kodi 17:
- All HD-Audio (e.g. 7.1 channel) from local sources (USB/SATA/Samba/NFS) using Kodi+wrapper.
- Only 2 channel audio from local sources (USB/SATA/Samba/NFS) using Kodi internal player.
- Only 2 channel audio from Kodi streaming add-ons using Kodi internal player.

The expectation is that the next Android 7 firmware will enable Kodi 17 7.1 HD-Audio passthrough using Kodi internal player, streaming and local.

yes agreed with u play directly in himedia player is faster and easier. losing out the nice display of the movie poster tongue.gif

yes im ex minix user (which i still use it - move to bedroom), and playback with kodi need the wrapper. but the wrapper indeed is giving many problems. the issues that i face is
1. i play with kodi using wrapper - himedia player. it will run fine. but after using wrapper in kodi, when u wanna watch with the native player directly no more sound. need to on off the player. then everything back to normal.
2. when using wrapper, and play media from pendrive, u cant quit. it will keep running and running and running and running. unless u press to home. and quit the whole apps.
3. im watching through my NAS server which also took me quite some time to setup with the help of nicety. he is so patience and help and guide me one by one. haha
4. im figuring out how to connect to LAN to my pc shared folder now. have the same issues when i want to connect to my NAS previously. sweat.gif

The wrapper is a new feature, made for people like you who cannot live without the artwork. biggrin.gif

Me, i dont use it, dont want it, as i like my own listings, like it fast and easy!

The wrapper is not complete, i think.

The last time i tried with kodi,, it works fine doing local playback but crashes when used for online streams.

When that is fixed for kodi17, it will be nice as there will be himedia video and audio controls over a kodi stream... looking forward to that.

That feature is already working on popcorn time. In popcorn, if u set player to himedia player, u get all the native player features like subtitles download, advanced options like imprex engine picture quality adjustments.

i hv played 6gb to 66 gb files and not experienced anything u mentioned!

maybe that file of yours bad, corrupted..? or all files like that?

what is interesting is this u said:

Audio keep looping when changing the audio from 7.1 to 5.1. (.MKV)

what file is this? how big? mkv or mt2s? hevc? 10 bit?

maybe the soundbar is causing trouble..?

using soundbar...
..how is it connected.. hdmi or optical or coaxial?
..how does 5.1 and 7.1 sound like.. i thought it's just 2.1?!

disconnect the soundbar, just q10pro->hdmi->tv, i.e. tv audio... play same file , see what happens.


nicety... maybe u hv some comment...
