Frame drop every ~34 seconds with himediaplayer

[qqq1971]

Hi

I'm using firmware 1.0.3 + autoframerate patch for HMP.
Test video (23.976) http://www59.zippyshare.com/v/PzbF9IhC/file.html.

At 26 and 60 sec when pendulum jump forward. I think it's frame drops. It happends with firmware 1.0.5 too.
I've run command to check display state when video was playing. Display is switched to 23.976Hz. You can see log:

It's a HMP's bug I'm sure. I've installed Kodi autoframerate add-on and it's played that pendulum very smooth without any jumping. May be duration will help to find bug.

Can anyone check test video and confirm that HMP behavior?

I can't even figure out how to play it. It just gives me "Video problem" message.

[qqq1971]

1. Download file - Judder_Test_BD_3.zip
2. Unzip it - you will take Judder_Test_BD_3 catalog. It is Blu-Ray disk.
3. Copy Judder_Test_BD_3 catalog to internal disk or your file server to play from LAN.
4. Open Media Center and find Judder_Test_BD_3 catalog from your disk or LAN.
5. Run it. Media Center can not play BD menu so first title will run. First title has 23.976 framerate.

If you have HMP patch then TV will switch to 23.976Hz automatically. If you don't have patch turn on 24p on settings page. It's important to play that video  with 23.976Hz.

I have test with pendulum too with Original Framerate from HMP and with the patch and yes same problem with jumping frame at same time of you

[Eriol]

I got "Content can not be read" with media center when I hit the Ok button on the folder Judder_Test_BD_3.

[qqq1971]

Eriol, try open 00000.m2ts:

1. Open ES Explorer and go to folder Judder_Test_BD_3/BDMV/STREAM
2. Run 00000.m2ts - it's 23.976 video clip
3. Select Himediaplayer when popup window opens

vdevil, can you check 00003.m2ts too? It's 29.970 video clip and it is played with stutering for me.

00001.m2ts (24p) - is played fine
00002.m2ts (25p) - is played fine
00004.m2ts (30p) - is played fine

@pcristi,
I've reinstall autoFMTswitch: firstly uninstall old version and then install 1.0.7. It does not help. The pendulum still jumping at 26 and 60 sec (23.976).

I've checked installation. adb shell cat /system/etc/autoFMTswitch.sh | more - version 1.0.7 and adb shell cat /system/etc/init.bigfish.sh - there is call autoFMTswitch.sh. HiMedia 24Hz setting set OFF.

I'm still using firmware 1.0.3.

@qqq1971,may I was tired and placebo effect, let's continue on private message, not chat here
Thanks

I changed the thread title slightly to reflect that this is a potential problem with himediaplayer _ autofmtswitch patch and not a problem generally with standard firmware without patch.

Without patch is same, I have try with patch remove and 24p playback option activate and its same pendulum jump frame at same time so its himediaplayer problem and not the patch only

[qqq1971]

@futeko,

I disagree. I've tested it with clear 1.0.3 and 1.0.5 firmware without patch and setting 24p ON . The problem exists.

[futeko.com]

Do you get the same result with the 23.976 test files here: http://kodi.wiki/view/Samples

Specifically:

Section 4, numbers 1, 10  and section 5, number 2.

[qqq1971]

With and without patch, firmaware 1.0.3:

Section 4, numbers 1, FPS_test_1080p23.976_L4.1.mkv - the same problem.
Section 4, numbers 10, VC-1_23.976_sample.mkv - it's hardly to find jumper. at 60 sec clip ends, at 26 sec bang and not sure, motion too quickly.
section 5, number 2 - don't test

[Eriol]

I managed to play the files.
Tried 00000.m2ts, 00003.m2ts, FPS_test_1080p23.976_L4.1.mkv and I don't have frame jumps. I have 1.0.5 without HMP patch 1080p/60Hz with 24Hz and Imprex Off.

[futeko.com]

I see the frame jumps on the same files with 24p mode enabled. i.e. output at 1080p 23.976hz. I also re-encoded the .m2ts as mkv to test the sample file and got the same jump. In 60Hz mode you wouldn't see them.

As qqq1971 says in OP, it would appear to be a bug with himediaplayer app because box output is set at 23.976.
