THIS ADDON IS ONLY FOR KODI INTERNAL PLAYER (DVDPlayer/VideoPlayer). Q5/Q10 Pro have auto-switching pre-installed for Android HiMediaPlayer and Kodi+wrapper.

I just copied his credit text from the German forum.

But I will add explicit credit to him. Great work in general by pcristi and Looun in getting this working. They're still adding features and it promises to be a very useful add-on for Q5/Q10 Pro.

Post by: futeko.com on July 04, 2016, 10:10:55 AM
An interesting feature of this add-on is that it upscales 720p 23.976 to 1080p 23.976, so partially solving the 720p 23.976hz problem..

No. This only adds auto frame rate switching.

For HD-Audio (+ISOs - as it says in the quoted section) you still need wrapper. Wrapper also offers better performance and access to Imprex video options.

Excellent.

I'll clean up the OP soon to reflect ongoing work.

I've been doing some work with playercorefactory. The idea would be to have your addon as the default for most formats and then have playercorefectory mop up the unsupported formats (ISO and HD-Audio). This is easily possible.

Hello Futeko,

Sorry but if working for lots of people, the 3.3 version prevent me after setting to play movies as well with Kodi Jarvis and unfortunately have each time i try to click Ok to navigate in kodi "No video detected...." What's wrong instead i was setting as the procedure done. Thanks for help

You set OK(61453) in Map Key of add-on for Automatic switching.

Next time just delete /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/zswitch.xml for remove unwanted map key.

Hello!

Sorry I'm new to this and the decription chart in the first post is a bit short-spoken and therefore confusing.
How Is this switch resolution dependent? Like if I play a 1980x800 (and not 1080p) Video, will the switch work on a 1080p display on all fps? Or the same applies to it as for the 720p resolution and it won't work?

Thanks!

720p works without any patch in 1.0.5 FW.

The auto-switch patch simply changes output Hz. It doesn't change resolution. So if you have the box in 1080p format mode a 1980x800 video will play at 1080p 23.976hz.

the switch is independent of resolution:

Android OS  setting ->  video fps -> HDMI switch output
1080p 50 hz ->1080p 23.976 fps   -> 1080p  23.976 hz
1080p 50 hz ->720p 23.976 fps   -> 1080p  23.976 hz
1080p 50 hz -> 1980x800 23.976 fps   -> 1080p  23.976 hz
1080p 50 hz -> 2160p 23.976 fps   -> 1080p  23.976 hz

Hi, this script is very useful but I have a problem with multiple playback (2 or more episodes). When I watch 2 or more episodes I use the "Play from", the first episode is in the correct fps (23,976) after that I got this message: "Stand-down in 4 seconds" and the second show plays on the default frequency which is 60Hz (in my Hi Switcher setup).  After the second episode the third show is in the correct fps again. My opinion the problem is with Stand-down time, can you fix it?
I use script.video.fswitch_HMD_3.4 downloaded from here: http://www.android-mediaplayer.de/index.php/Thread/3483-Kodi-ADDON-Frequency-Switcher-Autoframerate-detection/ - last post

Know this annoying situation when is enable Automatic play next video on Kodi settings.
I suggest in not to enable default frequency 60Hz/50Hz in Hi Switcher setup, if you are a TV show fun.

Auto play is not enabled, I use Menu button and select "Play from" method.
Yes, partially resolved the problem if I don"t select default frequency but after stop the player, frequency is on 24Hz which is not useful for other programs.
I found this: https://github.com/looun/Kodi-Addon-Hi-Frequency-Switcher/blob/master/script.video.fswitch/fswitch_service.py
This lines is not for resolving the problem?
"# check for configuration changes every four seconds
            while not xbmc.abortRequested and fsconfig.radioOnPlayStart:

                xbmc.sleep(4000)"

If you change the "check for configuration changes every four seconds " ( xbmc.sleep(4000)) to two seconds "xbmc.sleep(2000)" doesn"t resolve the problem?

You can install it at any time. It will fix stutter if it's related to mismatched framrates.

Thanks for your answer. As soon as I try to install the work around for android 7, I enter the ip address and select install. After that there appears some text but the Cmd window dissappears immediately. I can't read the text. How can I know if the patch is correctly installed?

To check the addon is installed go Settings - Add-ons - My Add-ons - Program add-ons, and look for 'Hi Frequency Switcher'.

You can change addon settings by going Programs - Program add-ons - Hi Frequency Switcher.

To check add-on is working play a 23.976fps video in Kodi using internal player (navigate to file - press remote menu button - select 'play using' - 'dvdplayer'). If your TV switches to 24p mode then it's worked correctly.

When I had Wrapper on without this patch I would have stutters +-20 minutes later when I was watching a movie/serie

The Kodi add-on is for Kodi internal player ('dvdplayer' in Kodi 16.1). If you only us Kodi internal player you don't need to touch wrapper settings or have wrapper installed.

With wrapper installing ('wrapper') the settings for wrapper are the main Android settings. So Settings - Playback. The main one is Settings - Playback - 24P. This needs to be turned on for auto-switch to work with wrapper.

The Kodi auto-framerate switching options work on almost no Android Kodi hardware.

Okay thanks for the clarification. That proves Kodi's dwindling commitment towards Android users. But even in Kodi Krypton they didn't fix it for Android?

Okay I have thoroughly confused myself on this and kicked the goat in frustration (I'm in Malaysia).
I really need some guidance installing this patch because the stuttering on Kodi is quite bad.
Because I am asking for help, I recognize that it's only proper to be as clear as possible on my exact situation. So here goes.

1. Firstly, I have Q10 running Android 7, already updated to the latest firmware which was just released yesterday

2. Do I just need to download this file: "Workaround_Kodi_add-on_autoFMTswitch_1.0.0(experimental_only_Android_7.0)"? Are there any other files I need to download?

3. After extracting this .zip file, I found a folder called "addons" which I know I need to manually install to Kodi from a USB. Do I need to re-zip this folder in order to "install from .zip file"? I am only familiar with installing repositories/addons from .zip files after adding the source in Kodi, where all repositories are zipped............. and where I can add the relevant addons from those repositories. Also inside this folder "addons", there are three subfolders which further adds to my confusion.  The bottom line is I need help installing this addon correctly.

4. The batch file "RUN ME" I know how to handle.........after installing the addon correctly, run the batch file pointing it to the unit IP address as instructed, correct?

5. And finally there are some configuration steps of which I saw a link in earlier posts, which I will study and perform.

6. I was kidding about the goat, but really I would kinda like a goat just about now. An attractive one would be a bonus. There's been a tremendous amount of pent up frustration since I upgraded to Android 7 on my Q10.

They are two completely separate things.

The Himediaplayer patch (http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1043.0) adds more auto-switching for himediaplayer and Kodi + wrapper (which is himediaplayer). It should be noted that by simply enabling Settings - Playback - 24Hz - On auto-switching works for most framerates without installing any add-on.

The Kodi addon (this thread) adds auto-switching to Kodi's internal player (DVDplayer / Videoplayer). Without this add-on Kodi's internal player has no auto-switching at all.

I guess you misunderstood his question.  He asks if he must run the separate patch for Android 7 and than do the full install of the "other" patch described in the first post or is running the separate Android 7 patch enough... Your description in the first post is not clear at all regarding how to install step-by-step the patch correctly for Android 7.

Basically the whole process and various file/thread links is confusing as hell. Can someone please come up with a step by step guide on how to apply this auto framerate switching for kodi in Android 7?
Title: Re: [PATCH] Auto framerate switching - KODI ADDON
Post by: eccles on January 21, 2017, 11:40:42 AM
@Bedi, this and the other thread are to add auto framerate switching for various media formats which the native firmware is missing. In particular, Kodi lacks this.
The Q5/Q10 can play media in two ways. The default is through the thing called a wrapper, which is simply a way of bypassing Kodi when playing media and using the native chipbased hardware. When the media stops it reverts back to Kodi. The other way is to use the Kodi software player. This was a bit flaky in previous boxes but the Q5/A10 pro models are fast enough to accommodate the software overhead so it's a workable player for 2D stuff, although doesn't work with 3D isos. The Q5/Q10 media player when accessed through the wrapper, which is the normal default when shipped, handles nearly all framerates for releases from 1.07 and later, so it's up to you to decide whether the other thread is that important now the firmware has almost caught up with it.
If you still want to use it follow the instructions on page 1 of the relevant thread. It is run from your PC which has to be connected to the Q5/Q10 via LAN.

If you want to run media without the wrapper, for instance when clicking the menu button when selecting a media file and select 'Play using'/Dvd Player' you will play using the software based player within Kodi.  The Kodi player lacks the auto-switching that the Q5/Q10 does when played through the wrapper. Many prefer the Kodi player as it has more options for various settings. For those people this patch is very useful.
For anyone who has applied any Kodi addon, and sooner or later you're going to want to apply an addon or two even if it's only the Backup utility, this is very easy to do. To change Kodi, requires a Kodi addon which has to be loaded from within Kodi.
You do this for any addon: Select menu 'System, option Settings' then select 'Addons'
You then have to find the addon. If it's in a zip file somewhere, select 'Install from zip' then from the location options, find the zip file that you downloaded and click on it to install it. If it's already been loaded from a zip then it'll be in a repository so that would be the option to select.
The instructions on page 1 of this thread to install the patch are quite easy to follow.
Hope that helps.

No it's not. At least not for Android 7. I have described above the reason why. It's either jumbles the two separate process for Anrdoid 5.1 and 7 or just simply not specific enough regarding, if we need to do the whole process described also for Android 7 too and in what sequence, before or after applying the separate Android 7 patch, or anyway...
The Android 7 patch .zip file also contains many other installation files, so it makes it even more confusing, whether they're needed to install manually  (after running the .bat file from PC and giving the BOX's ip address) and which way under KODI, or not.

Futeko's didn't bother so far to answer and clarify, so any correction from others would be nice.
Thank you.
Title: Re: [PATCH] Auto framerate switching - KODI ADDON
Post by: eccles on January 22, 2017, 04:26:20 PM
There appears to be three separate threads.
1. BAT file run from PC to update the internal media player - use for either Android 5.1 or 7
2. Kodi addon run from Kodi to update the Kodi 16 software player - use for Android 5.1
3. BAT patch file to give a workaround for option 2 to get it to work on Android 7/Kodi 17

Unless you really need to dot the I's and cross the T's you can for the most part do without option 1 as it only adds a couple of additional frame rates beyond those already available from version 1.07 and later. It modifies only the native hardware player which is accessed through the wrapper. It is simply run from a PC via a *.BAT file and if you haven't heard of those you'll need to learn a few PC basics.

The Kodi version (this one) enables auto framerates for the Kodi software player only.
For the Kodi version 16, Android 5.1 the instructions are repeated here:

Quote
Installation Instructions

Step 0:
- Backup kodi (db, fan art, ecc) ,if necessary

Step 1:
- download Looun Add-on repository from GitHub and copy to Q5/Q10 Pro: https://github.com/looun/Kodi-Repository/blob/master/repository.looun.ropo/repository.looun.ropo-1.0.0.zip?raw=true0

This bit may be less than clear. I simply clicked on the link in post 1 of this thread and downloaded it to my PC. I keep all android stuff in a separate folder on my PC. The folder has full local sharing so that I can access it via LAN from the media box.

Quote
In KODI, i.e. :
- System
- addon...
- Install from zip file
- select the repository.looun.ropo-1.0.0.zip file

Selecting 'Install from zip' will give you a list of possible locations. The zip file will be where you copied it to. If you loaded it to your PC you will need to have it connected via LAN to your box. If this is setup properly then the LAN workgroup will be visible and you should be able to click on it from Kodi and find the download.

Quote
Step 2:
In KODI:
- Program
- addon...
- Install Hi-Frequency Switcher

Step 3:
- go to HI Frequency Switcher addon
- select "Service"
- ENABLE Playbacks Stars
- ENABLE Default 60 hz or 50 hz
- now "Save configuration"
- than exit and restart kodi

Step 4:
- use button "Copy default Map Keys" to enable suggested buttons map for better kodi experince
- use "players" button to enable playerback with kodi(dvdplayer) internal player for 2D video.

I didn't do the last step, or rather I did but didn't like the fact that it removed the wrapper from the run options so reversed it by running the wrapper app from Android.

This is as clear as I can make it.  Beyond that I can only suggest that you learn how to load and run addons for Kodi. It's really worth it.
There are plenty of Youtube vids for unofficial addons, which I wouldn't necessarily condone loading but the principle is the same.

I should add that the extra step for option 3 run as a PC BAT file for the Kodi version is for Android 7/Kodi 17 only.  I have no idea how it works as I am using Android 5.1 and Kodi 16, for which the auto switching works well.

Incidentally, this is a project designed by users Pcristi and Looun and although posted on Futeko's forum it is not theirs. It is an excellent piece of work but one shouldn't expect Futeko to support it other than provide it "as-is".

Regards..

I should also add, that if this is still all too much, it might be worth considering dropping back to Android 5.1/Kodi 16. Himedia are continuing to support that release and I prefer it anyway.

-That would be the whole point that me and the other member was complained about. Me -and I guess the other member also- knows how could we install it on Android 5 as it is more clearly and distinctively described also in the first explanation post by Futeko. The problem for us is still with the Andoid 7 "workaround" patch lacky description.

Edit.: Ok, so after I have checked again, I guess the "workaround" patch is juts to make the base Android 5.1 patch installation work on Android 7. So -i guess- yess, we need to install and go through the whole procedure described in the first post. But still not sure if we need to apply the "workaround" after or before. (My bet would be on "after".) Futeko just needs to add an extra line to the description (in a couple of words) to clarify this confusion.

I'm having difficulties knowing if this patch is installed correctly.
Does this even work with Android 7 and Kodi 16.1 ?

Because when I play a video with 25fps I get a notification of Hi-Frequency that it changed the framerate to 50hz.
However my tv still displays as 1080p/60hz. Same goes for 23,976fps movies. And I still have some slight stutters every 20 minutes or so.

I have done step 2 also since I'm running Android 7.

So I tried both ways. With and without the workaround for Android 7.
Still the same issue. My TV display keeps telling me it's 1080p/60p while Hi-frequency switcher gives a notification that it has changed the framerate.
But it still stutters once in a while (frame drops).
When using the wrapper with the same movie the TV displays 1080p/25p.
And it plays the movie good with no stuttering.
It drives me crazy that I can't get the internal Kodi player to work correctly.

It sounds like you have the Kodi add-on installed correctly but not the extra step 2 patch for Android 7.

I'm having difficulties knowing if this patch is installed correctly.
Does this even work with Android 7 and Kodi 16.1 ?

Because when I play a video with 25fps I get a notification of Hi-Frequency that it changed the framerate to 50hz.
However my tv still displays as 1080p/60hz. Same goes for 23,976fps movies. And I still have some slight stutters every 20 minutes or so.

I have done step 2 also since I'm running Android 7.

It sounds like you have the Kodi add-on installed correctly but not the extra step 2 patch for Android 7.

Are you sure you installed the patch correctly from a PC? I suggest trying it again.

So I have the repo installed then I do this:

- Execute RUN_ME.bat at command prompt
- Insert Q5/Q10 Pro IP address

-Press enter after IP address I assume
-I don't pick any of the options given by the workaround
-I install the addon and do the rest.

Also have tried using the command to install the addon which worked. I can see that it reboots the player.
But the  TV display stays at 60p. Where Hi-Frequency notifies me that it has changed the framerate.

Can someone explain the below for me?

Step 5:
- use button "Copy default Map Keys" to enable suggested buttons map for better kodi experince
- use "players" button to enable playerback with kodi(dvdplayer) internal player for 2D video.

Thanks in advance.

Ok so I finally managed to install the workaround correctly. And the TV display switches correctly to the refresh rate of HF switcher.
However I watched 3 25fps episodes of a serie and they all had at some point stuttering (very slow video frames) until I rewinded back a few seconds. Then it plays the rest of the episode good. When I don't rewind or pause it stays stuttering the whole time. Any ideas?

@mox123: you need to start the HF switcher addon. There are these options.

I see, thanks.

Anyway, I believed this HF switcher is not applicable to plasma TV, right? I did install and turn it on but found stuttering problem....

Hi,
I am using Kodi 17 official build from Play Store. My issue is stuttering when using Kodi internal player, and I am hoping this autoframerate addon will fix it, but it doesn't work with HD streams because my screen goes blank. With SD streams, the screen goes blank for one second and then comes back on with the autoframerate running (notification on). But with HD, it goes blank and never comes back alive.
Sorry I didn't understand your message......are you recommending I install the "shitty" build instead?

Sorry,
Let's explain again Kodi 17 official build from Play Store / Kodi 17 from download page are not support by this add-on running on HiMedia Q10/Q5 Pro with present Android 5.1.1 f/w. I don't carer if work or not for others until audio problems aren't solved in official/nightlies Kodi 17 build by HiMedia or Kodi Team.
You can choose to give a try  of "shitty" test-builds and see if add-on work proper or not for you, or event better to downgrade to Kodi 16.1.

Hi,

I want to say thanks for this work.  I have recently purchased the Q10 Pro and having replaced Kodi 17 with version 16.1 and following the steps for Android 7 and installing the auto FMT switch 1.01 I can see that playback using Kodi's DVDPlayer is much better than before.  I have many DVD ISO images and like being able to use the DVD menu.

I found a simple way to stop stuttering on my Q10pro Android 7 for 4k60fps and or less content(includes HEVC Main10 profile - 10 bit colour). (Requires 4k tv to support 4k content and the following 4k q10 pro settings:

You can simply do this without extra software, head to settings?more settings?display ?2160p60.
RULE OF THUMB set to highest frame rate with the highest supporting resolution that your tv supports. I know your not matching film director intended frame-rate, but in all fairness we can consciencely perceive 24p fps, but sub-consciencely higher fps is needed when camera pans side to side too quickly. 60fps is a start but 100fps would be ideal for camera panning.
   
While your in the 1st screen of "More settings" go down to advance settings and try out the colour spectrums: 8bitRGB 4:4:4. ONE THAT HAS ALL 4s is maximum colour. Next is finding content to provide this colour.

No, also have the same problem. The wrapper does it correctly - but the internal player Kodi doesn't change the framerate.

Hi Guys,

I need to play 4k files on Kodi, I understand i need this patch for fixing the frame rate issue (I tried running 4k files as is and they seem to be playing but kodi crashes most of the time....)

I've got Android 7 installed and therefor i need step 2:

Step 2. ONLY NECESSARY IF RUNNING ANDROID 7 FIRMWARE
- IF RUNNING ANDROID 5.1 IGNORE THIS STEP.
- REQUIRES WINDOWS PC ON SAME NETWORK AS Q5/Q10 PRO.

any ideas on how to do it without a windows computer?

Hello!

I copy here my request post from another thread, for the sake of better awareness:

My only problem with this auto frame switch add-on, is exactly that it also switches frame rate for online streaming. It would be very useful for me to use it with DVD playback (the only thing that I would NOT play with Wrapper+HiPalyer), but I have read in another Thread that it's very annoying, since it also stays active while switching and surfing through IPTV channels in KODI. And since normally you switch channels more often while surfing the TV channels, I guess it just won't do any healthy to the TV like that.

- pcristi and - looun if it's possible, could you do any modification in the patch to exclude this behavior (like an untickable option) while using a streaming add-on, like Simple IPTV?! I guess i wouldn't be the only one with this request.

Another option would be a HiMedia Player auto fps patch "cutoff" version. I mean a ripped version of the patch, which only activates when playing 25->50 and 30->60 fps DVDs, and all the other frame switching would be left for the original HiMedia Player. As I have read that the patch seams to switch framerate in a some sort of irregular way, as perceptible on the TV while the process.  Is it possible to solve such a cutoff?!

Thanks!

Hello!
It seems that auto framerate switcher does not work properly with 2.0.4 firmware on Q10 Pro. In mz case it switches to 23hz as it should, but after stopping playback it does not switch to 60hz (there is a notification about unsupported resolution) and it stays on 23hz. Only way to get back to 60hz is to restart a box or go in to settings in Q10 launcher and select 1080p 60hz. Is there a workaround in progress or I am doing something wrong? On 2.0.3 switcher worked fine.

And by actual  question would be: does this patch work with the latest version of SMPC? And what does "preliminary support Kodi 17" mean? What functional deficiencies it has compared to KODI 16.1?!

I need your help.

Im on 2.04 original firmware, and noticed my IPTV streaming always buffering and loading.

Its not happened when on 2.01.

Do you know the issue that cause the problem?

I plan to install 2.04 cfw to see if the problem is gone on the cfw.

Will try to do this later today.

Try dedicate IPTV app with MX Player (IPTV by Alexander Sofronov, GSE SMART IPTV, XMTV Player) with still buffering?

Hi Pricsti,

Im using Perfect Player, STB emulator, Stalker emulator, all having same issue.

I have not tested it on Kodi, last time i am using Kodi with IPTV Extreme add on, and Stalker IPTV add on. Both is working on 2.01 together with Perfect Player is working also on 2.01 fw.

I will test with Kodi later tonight, and see how it goes.

If the same issue, then i will test to replace it with MX Player from wrapper.

I loved 2.04 due to able to play BD ISO file now.

Thats why i want to remained on the same fw if i can.

Thanks.

If a watch IPTV via the PVR simple client Full HD channels are slow, the audio is good but the picture is in slowmotion. If i choose SD or HD quality instead everything works. If i disable the service and watch the same Full HD channel again, everything works.

Do you know anything about this?

+1 I would also like to know if there's a workaround to handle the online IPTV streams and the local videos differently with this patch. ?! I have read other anomalies with simple IPTV client (the frequency is also switching all the time, during TV channel switching, which is slow and not so desired operation).

I have already posted here my question and request according a solution i.e. to have an option in the auto fps add-on, to to turn it off only for IPTV streams, but my post still left unanswered since...

Hello!

I would like to report a few issues with this patch. I have installed the repo + the latest auto switch version 3.5.9.4 as it is described. I have tried to play a 25fps interlaced DVD iso witch has a  2.35 : 1 aspect ratio, so I get those black bars on the bottom and top of the screen. The TV switched automatic to 50Hz as I started the playback with KODI internal Player. But something is just doesn't right with those bars during playback: they have strange and constant flickering and vibrating perceptible on the edge of the "original picture". It is very noticeable and unpleasant to the eyes. It was constant within the whole video. 

I have tried the same DVD iso with HiMedia Player (no framerate patch installed) and the black bars were OK again. Just as in WMP and MPCHC on my PC.

I have also noticed, that the picture quality was much better both with HiPlayer and on PC. In KOID the Picture color was more  "washed up" and lifeless.

Also it seamed that the fact of switching correctly from 25 to 50Hz doesn't make much impact with KODI regarding the picture quality neither... The edges were still ruff and I still detected the "comb effect" sometimes (on moving objects mostly), just as it had no correct deinterlacing. This all also compared to Windows Media players, which have correct deinterlacing. With HiPlayer (playing on 25Hz) I get almost the same result in PQ regarding the "interlaced" effect.

I wonder if there's a bug in this patch, cause it's just doesn't seam that this effect with the black bars would be normal?! Also maybe there are some other tweaks within KODI i may have to try to get better overall picture quality, and better deinterlacing?!

I hve a plenty of DVDs and would like to playback them as natively and good PQ as possible, therefore I was hoping that this patch would help in this, but I just rather seamed a bit strange and dangerous, since I don't know what or why would cause these anomalies.

And another -final- question: why we have to do the "Clean Up" all the time, before disabling the add-on?!

Thanks you fro the reply! (And for a possible fix!)

Edit: Oh, and have forgot to mention that i'm on 1.0.9 fw and KODI 16.1.

So switching 25->50Hz has nothing to do with correct deinterlacing?! Or it needs both the switch and hardware supported deinterlacing?!

I have tried to play some 25fps and interlaced .mkv DVD rips with HiMedia Player, but the "rough edges" effect was still present. Tho' as far as I know HiPlayer support interlaced videos and would deinterlace them. ?!

Will HiPlayer deinterlace DVDs and other interlaced videos properly if I would install the HiPlayer auto switch patch?!

So another chance is passed to have native DVD PQ, KODI just doesn't seam to be fine...

Thanks for the link, I may could find there some better KODI settings for nicer deinterlacing and PQ. Or maybe I will try the same with MX Player.

For that I guess I would need the HiPlayer auto fps patch as well, or it won't do the 25->50, 30->60 switching for DVDs. As I wrote, I have tried both with DVD and interlaced 25fps .mkv, and without the patch the PQ was much better than with KODI (+fps patch), but it still had the same amount of "rough and comby" effect on the edge of moving objects (typical sign of insufficient deinterlacing). It obvious if you try to play and compare it with PC players, like MPCHC, where the video is deinterlaced correctly). Does the HiMedia Player support interlaced video playback deinterlacing at all?!

I probably won't install the HiMedia fps patch (juts for DVDs) as I have read here, that it changes the frequency switching in some sort of strange way.

I've got the suggestion from KODI forums to try SMPC.:https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=265888&page=98 (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=265888&page=98)

I hope i can just simply install it beside the original KODI 16.1, without messing up something.?!

And is this patch working with -the latest- SMPC as well?! As it won't help anything if I couldn't get the same 25->50Hz DVD switching with SMPC...?! :???

try SPMC but I think is equal to kodi.

This is add-on only for kodi.

The patch for himediavideoplayer is this
http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1043.0

So this KODI fps patch won't work with SMPC at all?!

Have tried MX Player, but still no 25->50Hz switching nor deinterlacing. So It seams we will never-ever have correct DVD playback on Q10/Q5 Pro?!  :(  >:( :(

I don't understand why you don't want to install the more auto-framerate switching patch (http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1043.0) for Himediaplayer? It would set DVD output at 50/60Hz. What do you see as it's disadvantage?

There were a couple of complains regarding this on this (and on another) Forum, that it behaves differently than the "factory" frequency switcher. It takes more time to switch after the video starts and when switching back to the "default Hz" after playback it seams like it does a double switch somehow, one after another... That's why I've concluded that it may can have some unexpected effect on my TV after longer period of use. Sorry, but It's just seams a bit "botchy" and strange in practice, according to these descriptions.

I have also detected a "buggy" in this KODI fps patch: sometimes it switches back to 50Hz rather than 60Hz after the playback ended in KODI. And sets the "default" frequency also to 50Hz in the HiMedia Settings menu. Sure I have set "Default frequency" to 60Hz in the add-on settings as well, but it seams it rather likes to "forget it" somehow. May be related, that I have used it while playback 25fps videos, so it switched auto to 50Hz while playback, just didn't switch to "default" 60Hz after it stopped. Happened like 3 times out of 10, approx and so far I had just tried it.

So sorry, but I have some angst and guard regarding these patches as far as the future of my TV's health goes.

Otherwise: I have some .mkv videos that are 25fps and interlaced (showed in the Media Info header). Does anyone have info regarding, that HiMedia Player can recognize the video is "interlaced" and do the proper deinterlacing while playback?! (even if the 25->50Hz switching doesn't work)?!

Thanks for the reply!

Look like  use this add-on on mixt with external player check wrapper to be set on Kodi player and  playercorefactory.xml to be removed from userdata.

I'm using Official 1.0.9.

Sorry, but what do you mean?! Why should i set Wrapper to KODI?! I only want(ed) to use KODI player occasionally for DVDs and 25fps interlaced videos, for the rest (and most videos) I'm more convenient with the HiPlayer to start as default player. You mean I should delete the playercorefactory.xml file?! Why, and wouldn't that just mess up the whole KODI function?!

But yes, I have been also used the HiPlayer (with Wrapper) while the KODI patch was active. That caused the trouble?! I think this needs a fix than.

I'm testing streaming through Kodi and running OFW 2.0.6. Do I still need to do Step 2 in the instructions or is that no longer required with the official 2.0.6 firmware? Thanks.

Yes you need to do step 2.

Step 2 is only unnecessary if you're running custom firmware 2.0.1 or later.

Is it possible to mantain the deinterlace of kodi and this autoframerate switch? In a few words can i easily bypass the switch and use kodi's switch whenever i like?

I tried early today the last form (3.3.3) of PCristi and it works exceptionally well : Great job

Q5 OFW 2.1.1,
kodi-18.1-Leia-armeabi-v7a.
repository.looun.ropo-1.0.1
Hi-Frequency Switcher  3.6.2
Have install  More auto framerate switching

But this don't work.
When I play a 23hz video. It will show "frequency switch to 23hz" on the Upper right corner, but TV will not short black to switch fps.
If I use Q5Q10PRO-OUPUTINFO.bat? It will show output is still 60fps.

Wrapper runs well. But some subtitles are not support by himedia video player. And when use wrapper,  open a video from kodi,  himedia video player will open, then kodi crash.( The video plays normally ).

Thanks.
