Q5/Q10 Pro Custom Firmware

[dddp]

Hello and THANK YOU @pcristi,
I intend to try a dirty update from CFW2.1.1 to CFW2.1.4.
1. Do I need to redo and reinstall all those patches: Samba, Framerate?
2. Does the subtitle issue stilll appear as FIXED, as in 2.1.1?
Thanks.

i too am in the same situation - still running CFW 2.1.1 and wondering if i can get away with the dirty upgrade process safely to CFW 2.1.4

@mihailuican
1 - Samba patch is include on CFW v2.1.4
-- AFR assistant or more framerate script need to be reinstall.
2 Yes, HiMedia fixed on v.2.1.1 and look to be fixed on v2.1.4 too.

@dddp
Make backup, backup, backup, then can give a try,  dirty update didn't need to be problematic.

yes, very successful. A couple of manual reboots done but none needed during the upgrade process - all went smoothly. I noticed that Kodi is still v18.1 - is there any problems with 18.2?  Also, will the frame rate patch be included in later versions?

Thank you

@dddp
This why I didn't like dirty update, Kodi need be 18.2, update to last version form Google play.
AFR assistant or more framerate script need to be reinstall.

Hello
I'm using himedia q5 pro with latest 2.1.4 custom firmware; i found strange behaviour... when playing BD3D with subtitles what are stereoscopic not FLAT himedia playback them as FLAT. I checked if subtitles are with Z axis on powerdvd and PC, all is fine.

in every movie exactly the same situation, always flat. looks like himedia totally ignore Z axis from BB3D frame package movie;

there is some "trick" to make subtitles 3D but it's coresponding also with himedia menu, and also depth is always the same, not dynamic as it should be, like it's coded in movie;
when playback of movie click MENU/play setting/3d/2d mode/3d stereo depth and then when set to "5" od 3D senior subtitles are not flat any more but they have some depth

i would like to have same solution like on bluray player, that subitles ale not flat, that Z depth is readed by player from movie

also subtitles possition is ignored by himedia mediacenter. every bluray 3d subtitles have XYZ coordinates.
i can set ex 36 as possition, but whole map is ignored


tried official firmware, custom and always the same.

any one other facing same problem ?

2.1.1 official and custom - no luck still flat, background movie 3D, subtitles flat
2.1.4. official nad custom - no lusck still flat

after each install of each firmware, i made test to test if it's flat; later i made factory reset from menu and made once more testing with subtitles

in each scenario always flat.

3D has never worked properly on the Himedia Q5/Q10 PRO products, specially if you need subtitles - I have flagged this before to Himedia and apparently there is no solution for it - I have since moved to the Zidoo Z9S (still have both boxes), which plays 3D subtitles perfectly.

@afss: right, I may be a fool watching 3D movies on my Q10 pro all these years. You can have options render subtitles in 3D, but this is only working with the wrapper/Himedia player only.

I only use the native player, but never got 3D to work properly. Please, where is this option to render subtitles in 3D ?

After running CFW 2.1.4 for a week or so I seem to be getting a random crash, ( HiFileManger has stopped )

Is anyone else having this problem ?

As far as I know some dune plays subs ok, oppo with jailbreak firmware.. and now You confirmed zidoo z9s
But it's really reading coordinates XYZ for subtitles? Or using some solid setting from menu? Can You share some more details please. As I'm not native English I need to play with subtitles. 3d content is very demanding to have proper quality of subtitles.
