Probably i missed out to mention that my Kodi is running from the tv directly (not through any external device input as tv is android powered).
So whenever i play a movie and select Action Menu(tv) there's no option for 3D enabling. Also, on Kodi I've tried to enable stereoscopic 3d, the image gets SBS.
But still unable to enable 3d and proceed.

Do I have to use an external android player?
Youtube sbs 3d videos some of them are playable 3d, others are just SBS.

Here's more info:
TV: https://www.cnet.com/products/sony-kdl-50w8...d-led-tv/specs/
3D glasses: http://www.lazada.com.my/g15-bt-bluetooth-...tv-8467318.html

I understand that 3D can get "boring" and "tiring" after sometime, but in the meantime I would like use the 3D feature on my tv. Kindly assist sifus

u definately need addon that have 3d content in them....i forgot which addon have that....but i've saw them....and played them without 3d glasses....not fun....but i guess with 3d glasses it should be functioning well...

Even if u hv the speed and equipment right, it is difficult.

These high quality streams wont come free... there are blocks and controls by the developers.

Either u get a good vpn or pay for realdebrid, etc.

Some people say those r not very reliable also.
Anyway, imo... 4k video should go with hd audio.

Better find other sources to do local playback and enjoy!  biggrin.gif

yeah.. tried with unifi30 and km8 pro android box...

4k streaming is just too bandwidth consuming...keep stuttering video...but really nice and clear

think u haven't got quasar burst working right.

check if it's current working version of quasar - it comes with quasar burst.

with burst, it is auto - once u select the title, all links will be proposed to u.

u select one and u will see the data info box.

QUOTE(voncrane @ Apr 10 2017, 12:19 PM)
No such thing as magnetize.. You only need to addons and a couple of settings to make it work..Go see page one.. There's a detailed how to. Also, with p2p connections, no sufficient seeders = no downloads..
*
i forgot which version i install...


but i usually search movie from other addon first....

the usually the rarely-watched movie/documentary i want to watch have no stream available....

then i select option for magnetize the tittle....

once magnetize, the available link will pop-up....and usual dialogue for torrent/p2p is on.... probably no sufficient seeders/peers....

i'll try later with more famous tittle/movie first.....

As before... No such thing as "magnetize the title option" in order to use Quasar.. I'm sorry, but you'd know that if you checked out the links on page one of this thread or did a simple video search on YouTube about installing and using Quasar.. Goes like this..
*Install latest Quasar addon.. Usually this also prompts to install the Quasar Burst addon too. Else, install that.
*Go into the the settings of the Burst addon (under programs), choose about 3 popular providers and configure the rest as you want.
*Go into the Quasar addon (under Video addons) settings and configure as desired as well.
*Enable some remote control access in Kodi's main settings area.
*Completely exit Kodi to save properly and launch again.
*Wait for Quasar to autorun in the background and caches to warm up. Only a few seconds from launch.
*Launch Quasar addon... Search or select content... Choose the best seeder/peers ratio.
*Profit!!
I do too.. Previously been using SPMC.. But for the past week or so, forced myself to use just Krypton, testing it thoroughly in the process.. It held up..  biggrin.gif
Same here... I occasionally load a personalized Amber skin.. However, still find myself drawn back to the Estuary skin.. Very smooth and intuitive. thumbup.gif
*
i've checked last night...

yes i got the option to magnetize any movie/series from any other add-on to be played in Quasar via torrent...

and i've re-install quasar including the missing quasar burst....



yet i still stuck at video downloading progress too slow....waited over 5mins, and still at 0% progress....not sure if the movie i want is not many peers or need other setting tweak...

btw i'm using it on kodi 17.1

how much space is it occupying now?

kodi 17.0 or 17.1 is 85mb.

i have quasar, ic drama, sanctuary, genesis reborn, phoenix, adriansports, sportsdevil... + utilities... total about 400mb.

that's not too bad.

check indigo/maintenance, clear thumbnails!
that is strange... i hv never seen that "magnetizer"!

quasar burst default does not ask u to select provider... it will just go through all included providers, auto propose links found. go inside burst and check the configuration.

the 2 u tried.. one has zero seeds n peers, will not work. the other looks fine but still not working. hv seen this before... sometimes, it takes a few seconds for it to work. possible your paths have not been set correctly. again, check configuration.

also, check yr versions:

quasar 0.9.76
quasar burst 0.5.10
*
the magnetizer probably comes in bundle with other addon...

i forgot from metalliq or zen or unofficial quasar installed before....


will look more into the quasar setting and those burst setting....

Premium is even better...
You are doing it all wrong.. At this point, it appears you weren't the one who setup the Kodi installation or are running a build and have no idea what's installed and how it's being updated.. So to avoid going back and forth.. Just completely uninstall Kodi, check folders using a file explorer to make sure all related folders are deleted. Restart your device, download Kodi afresh from either the official website of through the android store. Then setup from scratch following the steps I outlined in my previous post. I can guarantee that doing this will yield better results. The Quasar addon works with the Burst addon and nothing else... nothing to magnetize, bla bla.. Library integration is supported but that's a tutorial for another day.. Get thy house in order first..
*
i've installed it myself...since beginning...


thats why...its like whenever i found like something interesting add-on, i'll just click install everything... lol.... laugh.gif


and if i end-up with clean install, it would took me dunnow how many nights to re-organize and re-favourite all of those channel/series again... rclxub.gif


but housekeeping definately would help organizing the kodi add-on better... removing all unused and obselete addon...

Watch the info box... u will know if it is working or not, working fast or slow.

Typically, popular and recent videos very good, old and not popular not so good, even dead.

But if your broadband is no good, it will be poor.

For 50mbps, the max speed i hv seen is 5.8MBps.

yeah... feels like i'm watching old unpopular video more... lol....

on unifi 30......i tried a latest episode on hawaii 5-0...only got 64kb/s rate..... so no go....

need to research more on tips/tweaking the quasar.....


else now i go straight to torrent to download vid i want.... (but most of the one i really looking to watch wasnt available even from actual torrent outide quasar/kodi)

u won't find much.

opensubs, subscene, kodi, etc... these are "western" stuff.

china people tend to stick to their own apps, do not like going into kodi and related.

if u know china apps - ALL of them have chinese subs!

Hurrraayyyyy... Quasar is working great now!

I've found the root cause...

Back then when on torrent, i usually will set the upload rate limit to just 1kbps... So as usual i set the same way inside the quasar too....

But accidentally in utorrent apps outside kodi i didnt set it at first... During torrenting, i change the setting... Then i saw the running torrent speed become 1kbps speed too....

Then i remove the upload speed limit, it back to full speed...


So i remove the limit inside quasar also...

Voila full speed...buffering just about a minute, then video started to play...

Nice rclxms.gif :claps:Attached Image

Doing the above is very bad and why private trackers exist. Folks who do this, do not contribute back to the system and just leech off it.. So wrong... You benefit from it, the very least you can do is to give back. Luckily, even for some public trackers, they set rules on certain upload speed, that must be attained (where others are in line to download) to continue downloading. Actually, the concept of Quasar is already bad enough as people used to take time to download and seed back.. Now, just hit and run.. Imagine if we all hit and run? .... Yeah.. not good. So, even after downloading, allow the files to continue seeding to a certain ratio to help others.

lol its really my bad habbits during since streamyx days...

anyone manage to done audio passthrough smoothly using quasar? try few version of kod, every version also got problem even though i already make the audio passthrough setting include set the refresh rate to 2.5s.

all sound output to my Yamaha amplifier 379 (support HD master audio etc..) using HDMI

Kodi 17.3
- not manage to output digital audio (test 1 dolby digital movie in quasar)

Kodi 16.1 Jarvis
- manage to output digital audio (test 1 dolby digital movie in quasar) but the sound keep on drop off after 5-6 seconds. not smooth, looks like video cannot sync with audio, audio sound keep drop on and off.

SPMC
- not manage to output digital audio (test 1 dolby digital movie in quasar)., got noisy 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' sound. when disable audio passthrough, ok.

ayone got any idea, kodi problem or my box problem?
