Quick question..I managed to stream bluray with DTS-HDMA Audio fine..

However, when i try to stream bluray with Dolby TrueHD 7.1 Audio, there is no sound. I have to use 5.1 audio to get the audio..where can I set up the TrueHD audio to get it working?

I am using the himedia media center to play. I have tested HDMI settings as Auto and RAW..still the same.

My setup is Q16 > Denon AVR > TV & Speakers (7.1) using HDMI cables

By the way, my AVR does support the TrueHD 7.1 Audio

i hv encountered this.

as most are dtshdma, less ddtruehd files, i hv not seen played too many. but... i hv one that plays fine, another does not - need to select dd5.1.

don't really know why but i can only suspect something amiss in the ripping process. note there are ddtruehd files that are re-encoded as dtshdma - these will play fine.

apparently this happens to some other players too.

I dont think its the way the file was ripped..because when I stream the same file from my PC using tmt player through HDMI to the same avr and 7.1 speakers, I can get the truehd 7.1 sound.. My avr also display it as Dolby truehd

When you play from media center, the player will tell you what's the audio codec detected. Pls snapshot the screen and sent to me.

In addition, please try a few Dolby TrueHD 7.1 files.

when using popcorn time, i only get audio output from my right speaker n woofer (using 5.1HT)...understood that most of the movie are 2.0, but shouldn't it be coming from left and right speaker instead?

any1 facing the same issue?

btw: seller is really responsive and I manage to get the media player the 2 days after payment (considering my payment was at 11pm that night)

yes, it is true some of them are single audio, i.e. left or right channel only.

these videos are probably the smallest size compressed mp4 files meant to cater to low speed, low memory devices like handphones and small tablets - single audio will do. even for androids 4gb like q5ii dual core, with many apps installed n little memory left, can't get some 720p to play!

after movie selection, the proposed video is always the one with most no. of seeds and peers (that's how p2p torrent work). click on the file info line, see what else is there; there can be up to 5 files to choose from for same movie. how the nos. work:

case 1. "720p 800mb 2 hrs" video=>111KBps average. 111KBps=>888kbps, so even 1mbps speed will work, theoretically.
case 2. "1080p" 4.7gb 2 hrs" video=>653KBps=>5.2mbps, so even Unifi VIP5 won't stream smoothly, theoretically.

i now know how to select to get the best ones. if decent no. of seeds n peers, with vip10, i can get case 2 easily, assuming no other device is hogging bandwidth. you can see how fast it is streaming. and i actually took a look into one 4.7gb file with the popcorn windows version, found it is an mkv ac3 file, i.e. dolby 5.1. i copied that file on hdd to playback on android in dolby 5.1! but... same video on android comes out lcpm stereo, probably because the android version 2.3 is way behind the much more developed pc version 5.0.

last tip for you - the free vpn may not be useful, may even slow the streaming - test it to confirm.

enjoy!

boyz n girlz...


there is new firmware 1.0.6. i just updated, good. seems to work a little faster and smoother.

a few comments:

.. if u can't find where to update/upgrade via usb in launcher page settings, go to myapps page and click settings there. it will lead you to a simplified page where u can find it.

.. this firmware comes with the simple ui launcher, no more mango launcher. if u prefer other launcher, can do.

.. mangotv see some changes, a few more minor features, some english now used. mouse seems not to work in some parts, need remote control.

.. i m not sure if due to 106 but hitv works now!

is this similar like the old durian tv?

No, Durian TV is icontent provider.

Himedia produce android media player same as your Android phone, but output to your TV via HDMI port. Himedia do not provide content service, you can get many free Android apps in the market to stream from various free content server.

means i have to download and install the apps myself in order to watch the free streaming?

currently if i get Himedia, what can i watch?

As mentioned in the thread, we have preinstalled 30++ apps for customers including streaming apps and tools to manage the apps. Basically all the common use apps is already preinstalled.

You could refer to this thread or the below link where my customers share the apps you can use in Himedia box.

bro, beside himedia threads, i suggest u read this general androidtv thread.
all new users ask the same questions here!

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3126605/+200

Hi Nicety

It's a cool Q16 machine you have. I have a Minix neo X8-H also support 4K. Is this Q16 more powerful than the Minix.


Cheers.

Hi andru,

In term of hardware spec, both Q16 and X8H are almost the same. I would not say which is better then which, both has their pros and cons. X8H has XBMC MINIX edition which is customized for MINIX processor.

Q16 is from Himedia which is well known by it supported video and audio codec which MINIX do not have and the support 3D as well.

if u r still on xbmc frodo or xbmc gotham, consider moving to kodi helix. kodi is the new name of the app, xbmc will disappear.
latest version is kodi 14.0 beta2 helix. i m now using it, good for q16, more stable than the predecessors.

find kodi 14.0 beta2 helix here:
http://kodi.tv/download/

a great new app applicable to kodi only is this bbts.
u gotta love >1500 live tv and radio stations!
mostly sd, some 720p 2.0.
best of all, the message of this bbts addon is "this is a free list; if you paid for it, get a full refund from your seller"!!
includes news, entertainment, uk, usa tv, natgeo people, starworld, etc., etc. all live.

so, i say:
kodi (formerly xbmc) is the mother of all apps.
mashup is the mother of all addons.
bbts is the mother of all live tv.

xbmc or kodi, q16 with good memory size can give great results with xbmc torrent:
this addon is like popcorn time.
requires good size memory to work.
as the addon on android is no longer supported, it takes a bit of work to make it work.
