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.

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.

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.

Hi, anyone experience the following issue
- picture vibration issue after watch movie for 3hours + (I need to pause the video and back to home page for awhile.)
- Audio keep looping when changing the audio from 7.1 to 5.1. (.MKV)

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...

The strange is the launcher(home) screen is vibrated as well, therefore I eliminated network and NAS factors. For the moment my recommendation is to reformat the box via the recovery button to isolate if due to software or OS. Ideally iif could test with another TV with different HDMI cable then will be able to isolate other factors as well.

ah yes... the tv can be an issue.

some smart tv's occasionally can't cope with certain input, will stutter, need reset... i hv seen that.

what is interesting is this u said:

what file is this? how big? mkv or mt2s? hevc? 10 bit? MKV with multiple audio inside..  Multi 2160p 4K UHD Bluray HEVC10 SDR Dolby Atmos 7.1. Inside have 5.1 audio also.


maybe the soundbar is causing trouble..?

using soundbar...
..how is it connected.. hdmi or optical or coaxial? Optical to tv, q10Pro direct hdmi to TV
..how does 5.1 and 7.1 sound like.. i thought it's just 2.1?! It just sound louder at 5.1. I am not talking about the effect. My question is why it loops?

disconnect the soundbar, just q10pro->hdmi->tv, i.e. tv audio... play same file , see what happens. May i know what is the different since I connect q10pro direct to the tv then optical send audio to sound bar?
nicety... maybe u hv some comment...
