q10pro users:

futeko reported:


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!

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.

i finally pull the trigger to get this Q10 pro from nicety. i must say this is a HUGE upgrade from my Minix X8H especially on media playback. this box is just fantastic after go through so many hustle with nicety on setting up to play my media files from NAS. the PQ and Audio from this box is very very very good. i am one of the happy user here. i think i need to upgrade my TV and AVR to fully utilise the potential of the box

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

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!

initially having problems with playing media files. me and nicety still rectifying and try to confirm whats the issues. suspecting it have to do with wrapper.

not going to upgrade to 4k tv and avr so soon. wife will kill me

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.

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)
- Sound don't sync (I believe is the source issue) but work fine using MX Player.

.. using native player or kodi player?
.. did u play with subtitle advance/delay option?
.. what audio system - tv, avr, soundbar?

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

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.

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

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.

--Native player. The vibration happen at the home screen too for awhile.
-- Play with subtitle. no delay option. It just keep looping a short time frame of the audio
-- soundbar (TV optical)

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.

I will perform the recovery reset and try again. Problem is i dont have must time to keep watching movie for 3 hours and wait until the problem occurs. Vibration only happen after a long use.

Anyway I will do it again.. and once happen, I will record a video.

As for the audio looping issue, it happen every time with native player.

unless the file u have is a short one, i doubt with such heavy specs it is as small as 30gb.
it should be >50gb, more likely 60-66gb.
hence, i suspect the ripping of that file is not well done.
u can try the same title but a diff rip, similar or bigger size and see if it is the same.
you can also get a diff similar specs file and try it, see if same problem occurs.

the audio part... i suspect the problem is coming from yr tv ARC.
for yr set up, it is better to have optical or coaxial audio output from q10pro direct to soundbar.
if u do tv optical back to soundbar, u are using the ARC function of the tv.
some devices do not work well with some tv ARC's and are known to cause problems.
also, tv ARC capability is typically not of high standard, may not cope with HD audio well - TV makers focus on video, not audio.

if u disconnect the soundbar, u isolate it.
then u can see if q10pro->tv hdmi video and audio eliminates a possible problem caused by soundbar and/or the tv ARC.

similarly, if u do q10pro audio->soundbar, audio is now independent of the TV.
so, if the audio loop problem persist, u know it has nothing to do with the tv or tv ARC.
if that solves the problem, u know yr tv ARC isn't good enough to handle HD audio.

bit by bit, u can narrow down the root cause(s)!

For the vibration part, it happen on the other file. And I believe is not the file issue, as when it happen. I pause and go to Home (launcher) it happen too.

Thanks for the explanation and advice. Will do the troubleshooting step by step. But first I will do a recovery first and see how thing works.

After recovery, pls don't install any apps. Direct test the vibrate issue with your movies. As mentioned, test the movies directly from pendrive or USB HDD.

please report back if i was right about the audio bit!
