Is HiMedia working about that?
-
Wrapper is OK?
Change of frame rate is OK?
-
Is HiMedia working about that?
I download the latest nightly build and I have no problems (but I have no interest in Dolby Sound; Dolby Vision; subtitles; 3D; ... so I don't know if they work)
-
Do you have frame rate adaptation?
I don't.
Kodi writes that on lower right corner but I have to do manually.
-
Many of KODI's BASIC video playback features like auto freque and resolution switching, proper deinterlacing, HD audio (or now even DD or DTS) isn't working at all on these Boxes, right from the beginning. HiMedai would need to develop a special KODI fork for this matter, as the developers of KODI have no interest to optimize it for this Chipset (or to any other Android based players Chipset, as to that). And guess what, HiMedai has also no interest or willingness to develop their own optimized KODI version at all. So KODI versions will come and go for ages, and you still will have to stuck to the Wrapper and use KODI only as a Media Library.
-
I know, but using Leia, the wrapper doesn't change the frame rate too.
-
I have read on the KODI forum, that Leia has some troubles with External Player handling (from playecorefactory.xml file) also on PC, that isn't fixed yet. Maybe these issues are related. I would wait for the final Leia release and hope for a fix. Or you can post your issue (presuming if it's also KODI related) to the KODI forum-> Android -> External Players Thread.
-
Leia is Alpha software.
Do not use it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Alpha
If you complain about issues with alpha software of any kind, you are dumb.

Excuse me mr dancewithchickens, maybe you missed the first part of this thread.
1) The base of this box is Kodi;
2) If HiMedia is not working NOW with new (alpha) releases of Kodi, when stable release will be issue, wrapper will be not compatible and we'll have to continue to use 17.6.
-
The point is that Kodi have broken something in 18 alpha related to how external players are called, so this is Kodi's problem to fix. If this problem persists in final version of 18 then that might be the time to ask HiMedia to do something about it, but for the time being this is very much a Kodi problem.
I suggest posting on the Kodi forum to try and ensure they fix it in final release.
-
Tks,
it's the answer I needed.

Beta 1 released.
If I watch something via wrapper, then Kodi close itself.
If I watch something via Kodi, frame rate doesn't change.

Both are know problems search on Kodi forum
- Kodi 18 beta1 have broken external player
- Kodi frame rate change is not support on this SoC
Frame rate change is support on nightlies builds for Nvidia Shield TV/Mi Box/Amlogic/AFTV in a case if they not broken.

Yes, I'm getting the same ... but there is worse to come :o!
I'm still using Kodi 18 beta 1 but, as you say, it has problems! I did start using the nightly builds for beta 2 but they failed very quickly >:(. After a few weeks of nightly installations they stopped working. If you install the latest nightly build for beta 2 then Kodi will crash immediately with a "Kodi keeps stopping" message every time. So I've had to reinstall beta 1 and stay with it. It's not possible to "upgrade" to Kodi 17.6 when you have Kodi 18 on your box.

Well, you are much further ahead than me! I downloaded Leia Beta 1 today (64bit, right?). When I went to install it on my Q10 Pro (via ES File Explorer), I got an error message saying it was "incompatible". Currently running the latest custom build.
You say Beta 1 has its problems... do those problems make it unusable? Is the Kodi 10 Beta 1 capable of achieving "spousal acceptance", or should I wait for the official release? Thanks!
To tell the truth, I am finding Kodi less and less relevant. There are now Android apps that integrate Real Debrid and if you subscribe to a decent IPTV service, their catch-up, VOD and live TV offerings beat most Kodi addons and don't have the buffering issues. "Local" network content can also be accessed by apps as well. However, on a RPi setup or similar, Kodi still has its place.
-
It's 32 bit that you have to install

@LeoeL
Support frame rate change for HiSilicon SoC in Kodi not have connection with HiMedia.
It's time of Kodi developer to stop written if condition in they code and accept patch only for Nvidia Shield TV.
If someone get this box for Kodi compatibility is was wrong choice.
HiMedia/Egreat/Dinobot box have other advantage for witch users buying.
-

I would imagine that, for the majority of people, the main reason they purchased was as a base for Kodi.
-
+1
-
It's time HiMedia builds a Kodi version for this SoC.
The Himedia Q10 comes with both MediaCenter and Movie Bar. You could also install and try the Archos Video Player. However, none of these can match the versatility and flexibility of Kodi.
Kodi is not perfect, but it's the best that's available. They will sort out the problems ... eventually ;)!

Furthermore, if my memory serves me well, I recall that the Himedia advertising for this box actively promoted it as the best solution for Kodi users. However, as its a while ago, I may be wrong.

Start with Beta 1 Kodi 18 have broken again Joystick Support, please enable Joystick Support before to upgrade to Kodi 18 Beta 2
This bug is was present on some nightly build of Kodi 17.5
http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=2463.msg20199#msg20199
Maybe someone know to reconfigure Joystick buttons on Kodi 18 Beta 2 and make remote to work as normal.
-
... please enable Joystick Support before to upgrade to Kodi 18 Beta 2
Thank you pcristi!!! That fixed it. I now have last night's build for Kodi 18 beta 3 working on my Q10 without crashing :).
-
Lea beta 2 as well as the latest nightly still crash when using an external player.
That bug is known for a while and still not fixed - could take a while bc android is not a priority for their dev team.
So anytime you start a video which uses the wrapper, Kodi will crash instantly.
Leia is still not usable on Q10 Pro.
-
Leia beta 1 is barely usable with wrapper.
I can play the file but Kodi closes itself after that.
Beta 2 closes itself at main screen.

Enjoy Kodi 17.x/18.0 with joystick support enable/disable.
I've installed the patch on Kodi 18.0 beta 3 nightly but I'm not sure what is supposed to happen? Does the code just run in the background or is there a settings option?
I'm assuming the joystick will be needed with Kodi 18's new "Games" section??
-
@maelor
No running in background just modification to avoid Kodi to recognize IR Remote as joystick controller.

Upgrading from 3 to 4, Hi-Frequency Switcher doesn't change frame rate in Kodi Videoplayer.
Maybe do I have to uninstall and reinstall it?
-
@LeoeL
What is a source of video?
local/smb/nfs need to be OK on Hi-Frequency Switcher 3.6.1.
For http/https streaming Kodi 18.0 beta 4 have something change witch I will try fixed in near future Hi-Frequency Switcher version.
-
Source is SMB.
It writes the frame rate change in the lower right side but TV stays at 50 Hz ( as in the setting of Q10 Pro.
Anyway I'm using standard firmware 2.0.9
-
@LeoeL
Did you install add-on with Workaround_Kodi_add-on and RUN_ME.bat?
-
Yes, I did.
Hi-Frequency Switcher update to 3.6.2 but the problem remains.

Did a fresh install, this is the first Leia version that works on Q10 pro.
- no crash when migrating library from 17 to 18
- no crash when using external player
Otherwise smooth user experience, much leaner than official fw.

I tought the player was more responsive with this Kodi update and customised firmware
-
How about HD audio?
With the previous version passthrough with streams did not work well, among other things no sound with Dolby Digital Plus and wavy sound with AAC?

hi to all, I installed 2.1.0 leia beta 4, but I do not understand why the proportions of 720p videos with the wrapper are wrong, as if they were lengthened. Does anyone have any idea why and a solution ?. Thanks in advance

Hello pcristi, thanx for all your GREAT work i LOVE your custom firmware !
I have a question, your latest firmware with KODI LEIA beta 4 works PERFECT with the wrapper en Himedia player but now there is a NEW Kodi
version, BETA 5 and this version BREAKS the wrapper ! Everytime i play a file with the wrapper it will play but it wil give also a notification that it is CLOSING Kodi ! It shuts down Kodi ! So there is something different with beta 4 and 5 ! I hope you can find what this is and get a working Kodi beta 5 because now i will have to set the PlayStore to NOT auto update my Kodi !
Greeting from Holland and Keep up the GOOD work !

Same effect on Official firmware 2.0.9.

Hi, can I install this over beta 4 without problems? Thank you and great work, thank you.

shitty build are people witch are on OFW of HiMedia or still on Android 5.1.1, If you run Android 7 CFW don't need shitty build.

Does external player (Wrapper) handling working OK with this? (I guess: Not.)
-
As Kodi 18 is now in Release Candidate form can we assume that any errors when using Kodi are now caused by HiMedia's operating system and not Kodi ???

Don't blame HiMedia for Kodi breaking things.
On our box running a same HiMedia FW are getting different experience with Kodim18.0 beta3/beta4/beta5/etc...

For me the RC "shitty" is worse than beta 5 that is worse than beta 4.

But Kodi 18 nightlies work with no problems on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 😀. If they work on Samsung why do they crash on Himedia 🤔???

Try to look on Kodi log and Android logcat on HiMedia box to see what/why is crash after this make report on Kodi forum.
-
Idea of this topic is to share our experience good/bad with Kodi 18(Leia) on HiMedia Q Pro series and everyone to benefit from this.
Remember futeko forum is not a Kodi support site.

So far, every single version of Leia crashes when using an external player, including the latest RC.
Had no issues using wrapper/mx player with Krypton.
I also get random "Kodi isn't responding" messages from Android with RC1.

Kodi 18 (ARMV8A) on Samsung S3 Tablet - no problems
Kodi 18 (ARMV7A) on Himedia Q10 (with Wrapper) - "Kodi has stopped" message every time a video is started
-
Installed Leia yesterday morning. No problem yet, but also I haven't usedd addons, just regular playback with wrapper. No pain. We'll see.
LATER EDIT. No dice, bad luck continues. Kodi keeps shuting and stopping after video playback start, exactly like before.
So CRASH-CRASH-CRASH. Abandon Leia.
Uninstalled Leia and reinstalled Krypton 17.6, butter-smooth.
So much for launching final releases of unfinished applications, they didn't pay attention to users' complains and reporting. Boooo....
Bye and out: Krypton user here.
-
Hi
My Kodi updated to Leia today and my controller ok button not work
I configured and only the ok button not work
Strange
Any of you got this problem
I use the Himedia controller
-
becos i use only XXXXXXXXXXXX, nothing else.
I've no idea what that add-on does. I just use Kodi to view my own, purchased music and videos, which have been ripped to the internal hard disk.
No problems with music but videos crash Kodi 18 every time!
-
Kodi 18 (RC and final) does not mark videos as watched after watching. It seems there's a problem with external players that was supposed to be resolved with the final update, but wasn't.
Also, I cannot seem to delete a full TV show, but only one season or one episode at a time.
-
-
-
"KODI has Stopped Working" pop-up while playing back video with Wrapper.
That's what I'm getting EVERY time >:(!
Could it be when the screen resolution and frequency of the video are being changed????
-
ALSO could be, but in my case, i don't think so. The KODI GUI is FHD, and my TV is also FHD, so no res change this time, and it also happened minutes after playback has started, or just when I've seeked forward into the video. Reported on KODI Android Forum (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=340156), if some others from here could, please also post there a few line reassuring complain in the Thread to be taken more seriously.
-
And when watching a movie if we stop the movie with back button the kodi stop and we go to the himedia home menu
Awensome
-
I have recently updated firmware to CFW 2.1.1 and updated Kodi to full release 18.0 (and changed Q10Pro power supply..... long story.....).
Using standard wrapper settings (in Kodi) has been going fine (so far) for HD video playback for movies and TV Shows. Files accessed from USB HDD and networked NAS' using Samba. Passthrough 7.1 audio working as usual (using all RAW settings).
So far, I can not see any big reason to change from stable Kodi 17.6 and skin/operation is very similar.
I also had trouble "restoring" Kodi Backup from 17.6 (it does warn the back-up is from another version) and had to extensively re-update Kodi's video library, losing ticks on episodes watched......
-
I had too much issues with KODI 18. I rolled back to stable 17.6 using apk from http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/ and disabled updates in google play. Then set the Wrapper again in My Apps.
-
Kodi 18 is a disaster, stay with 17.6 for now

WHY do Kodi devs feel compelled to release a new version, when is is obviously soooo flawed with bugs, according to reports?
It's just like they feel forced, coherced to push work-in-progress instead of a finished product.
I thought it is OPEN SOURCE. Or, is it for PROFIT, FAME?
I do not even understand what are eben any Leia BENEFITS over 17.6?
What's NEW? Improvements? Why not adding them to 17.6. Should they startover from scratch every time they want to build another update? Really?
I do not understand, but, again, it may only be me, another old man not understanding the new world...
Cheers, everyone.

Have played a couple of 2h videos since and the crashing issue didn't reappear. Maybe it just needed a reboot to get fixed, or maybe it's just luck and will happen again sometime. But the "Press OK if Playback has ended" pop-up is still there every time I start KODI. Maybe there's something "stuck"
in KODI concerning the External Player handling, I just need to figure out how to clean it out.

As they have a huge financial interest in developing it to Nvidia Shield, I guess they've decided, that if it works fine enough on Shield, than it's "done", needs no further development and ready to be called "final". ;D >:(

Yes, it did happen again, but only after I've pressed Home button to get to the HiMedia main screen, turned off 24Hz mode and set the frequency to 50Hz (for an interlaced PAL video). So there's still a chance that it could happen anytime.

-
Ever since both of my boxes "upgraded" to Kodi 18 I've experienced nothing but disasters. Backing out of a movie brings me out of Kodi and to the main menu. Everytime I play a movie a get an error that Kodi has crashed. Going back to Kodi 17.6. What a shit show.

Still the same issue with the wrapper. Internal player is better though, jump forward and backwards never been smoother but still pauses if I press play after fast forward.
Still a bit of a mess with the portuguese interface language.

Is that a question or a statement/presumption?
Anyway, will KODI from 18.0 final ever update to a never version like that automatically? Or from now we need manual unistall/install to every never version?

Sorry pcristi but it still does not work. I've been installing the nightly builds every day since the disastrous 18.0 was officially released, in the hope that they may have found a solution ... but they haven't.
The crashing only happens with certain videos. Others have no problems at all. I'm trying to make a list of which videos and see if there is a pattern (codec/resolution/fps/...) with the videos which crash Kodi, but it's taking time! I'll let you know.
-
@maelor
Agree official release version Kodi 18.0 is a disaster event for Nvidia Shield TV box.
Currently nightly builds fix some o problems, but still not stable.
Thanks for feedback and I'm happy to see are still user giving a try of Kodi 18.x.
-
Just downloaded and installed this afternoon's latest 18.1 build but still NO improvement!
There is no logic, the crashes are totally random, sometimes a video works but try it later and it crashes. (Using Wrapper and Blu-Ray patch).
Another thing, I can't get rid of subtitles ... they always appear on screen. If I switch them off, when I start the video again they are back. On Kodi 17.5 the settings for each video were saved. Not with 18???
No problems with Kodi 18 (64bit) on my Samsung Galaxy Tab though!!!

Maybe the coders are ex M$ employees??? You know, invent new unwanted, unnecessary features, remove tried and proven features and don't fix anything. ;D ::)
-
Today's latest Kodi 18.1 official release is still no better. It's still crashing at the start of many videos >:(
-
Just guessing, but maybe the way the Wrapper modifies the playercorefactory.xml is not that suitable for KODI 18.x anymore? And maybe there's a more compatible way it should be done?
My other -and more likely- presumption is that it has something to do with the frequency switching, as most of my crashes happened during or a slight after starting or stopping the playback (with the Wrapper). :???

For EVERYONE having problems with Kodi 18 crashing all the time, KODI 18 BETA 4 is for me THE ONLY version of KODI who does NOT CRASH !!!
It works PERFECTLY with the WRAPPER without crashing and giving that F....ing message KODI HAS STOPPED !
SO untill they FIX that problem all versions of KODI 18 are crashing but oly BETA 4 works fine with the WRAPPER !

For me also Kodi 18.4 give a crash and restart the box!

HereIsTom: If it also reboots the Box, you may have other problems too with the system. Read a lot about KODI crashing, but none of them mentioned rebooting.

I have been bothered by it since I installed the new firmware with Kodi, never having problems with that before.

Kodi 18.2 RC1 just installed on its own.
Checking if it's better than before.

New CFW+new KODI, they might be related to cause the reboots. No reboots for me on newest OFW.
LeoeL
No luck for me, it keeps on crashing. Not sure what's the current status on other platforms (Win/Linux) with external players, but I have a slight strange feeling that KODI Team doing this for purpose. At least in that they don't begin to fix it. Hope I'm not right anyway...

Interesting remarks I will look on that.
LE: Still crash clean OFW 2.1.1 + OpenBlurayMode + Wrapper + Kodi 18.1 (18010004) from Google Play.
From Kodi log ERROR: eglSwapBuffers failed (EGL_BAD_NATIVE_WINDOW) :(.
A good thing is after more than a year IR remote and joystick controller problem is was solved ;).
LE2: I think when BD menu is set to ask is cause Kodi 18.x crash some others need check.

Then, why do we need KODI 18??? ...., y regret to 17.6 stable, have other things to do, so i kick out KODI 18, till it is really stable, THX ;)

But those of us who have used previous generations of Kodi will know that every one of them has had teething problems 😃! You don't "need" the latest version of any software. Some people refuse to move on from Windows XP 🤣 but some of us more adventurous types like being in the forefront of technology.

17.6 was worst than 16.1 (no DD/DTS passthrough), and than 18.x was even worster (constant crashes with the Wrapper) and nothing I could recall as a real improvement and that also really works in general on any Android Boxes. I don't see here any "forefront technology"...
The only reason you would need to update sooner or later are the add-ons (depend on if you ever use some of these), if their support and sure operation for earlier KODI's are no longer maintained... (That's also an odd string...)
-

Well it all depends on what you expect from Kodi! In reality Kodi has never yet achieved perfection but it's still better than any of the alternatives.
I have no interest in audio passthrough but I do appreciate SMBv3 which is only available on Kodi 18. So you win some, you lose some???

using kodi-20190315-32d3bbe1-master-armeabi-v7a.apk
the external player crashes stopped.
has some other minor fixes.
best version of KODI 18 so far.
