HDR aspect ratio problem.

[Santos]

Can anyone explain me in a new Threat how to setup  MX Player for HDR 3840x1600 and Audio passthrow?

Yesterday I installed Android 7 with FW 2.03 on my Q10 Pro. With MX Player I now get the correct aspect ratio with HDR movies. Tested it with multiple HDR movies. Tested some other video players as well, and they all give me a correct aspect ratio.

Only the HiMedia video player streches the images with HDR movies. Even DTS:X and Dolby Atmos passthrough works, so I'm happy!

I have a weird situation - I am running custom FW 2.0.3 and MX Player crashes every time I try to refresh to get a list of movies on my device - never got it to work.....

try 2.0.3 OFFICIAL + 24p patch through lan + latest mx player.....it works fine for me with my exfat hdd
custom firmware has that problem with mx player, PCRISTI could correct it...

Latest version of MX Player plays HDR with proper aspect ration in any fw version.

Maybe Kodi 17.3 has a different playercorefactory.xml structure and the one in the guide is not good for it. If you can post your playercorefactory.xml, I can check that.

[Grifone1893]

This is my "original" playercorefactory.xml. This perfectly works with HiMedia Player and kodi 17.3:

That conf is not good. You have the remains of the old in it.

Delete the whole file and create it again, or just CTRL+A in the file to select everything and delete the content and copy only this into the file:

Later on do not start the wrapper app on the device from the "My Apps", it can temper the configuration.

[Grifone1893]

Ok, I'll try.
I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for now.

[Grifone1893]

Hi Eriol,
I checked and rechecked the playercore, but same error: kodi crash (video won't start).
Anyway thx for your help.

[hanspampel]

Are you playing files from NAS (smb)? Afaik the MX Player cant play files over NAS. Ill tried it on Kodi 18 with free MX Player and i cant get it to work. Got the same crashes after play attempts.

However MX Player can play files over network (via any network capable file browser), Kodi still needs a wrapper to be able to pass the media to an external player if you play from a network share. That's why HiMedia uses one as well. So you need use this: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=192651

Or you need to use mountpoints:

Yes I play files from my pc (smb), maybe that's the  problem.
