We have to install the Himediawrapper or it is installed with the firmware 1.0.9 ?

It needs to be installed. As here: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=60.0
Having it installed by default is a good idea but would need the app changing to make it clearer what it does. A user who hadn't read this forum might run it to see what it was and install the wrapper (irreversibly - breaking some Kodi add-ons) by mistake. If it is to be included by default it would need uninstall options and better documentation. I will mention it to HiMedia.
-
Ok, I think I realized ;)
1 Himediawrapper is a permanent installation without option to uninstall
2 Himediawrapper is just required for hd audio (dd true hd and dts hd ma) and for correct 3D iso display
3 With it some add-ons could not work
4 When you have problems whit some add-ons if you choose the internal dvd player from kodi, the problems still existing ?
Regards

I have done the update and found two issues:
3D iso are played in 720p instead of 1080p. Switching from 3d to 2d and back to 3d brings 1080p playback.
With 23,796 movies I have occasionally audio drop outs every 10 to 15 minutes while bitstreaming (RAW) to my AV amplifier.
I hope this can be fixed?

The 3D ISO problem is known by Himedia and is being worked on.
That's the first time I've heard about the 23.976 problem. Could you try another HDMI cable?
-
Yes I have tried a different cable already . It seems to get a little bit better by turning off the wlan. When playing a 24 or 50 hz the is issue doesn't occur.
-
just like to say thank you futeko/himedia for delivering what was promised keep it up
-
Yes I have tried a different cable already . It seems to get a little bit better by turning off the wlan. When playing a 24 or 50 hz the is issue doesn't occur.
The 23.976 part of the firmware has been tested fairly extensively without problems and we have been unable to replicate it here.
Does anyone else see this problem?
-
Known issue as Futeko pointed out... 3D is playing at 720p, while rest at proper 1080p. Probably why you're having screen sizing issues.
-
Anyone has audio drop outs as well?
-
Did you tested the Line-Output ?
-
No. I use hdmi.
-

what is your amp?
what film you have this problem?
Some problem with 2D film?
-
Use the chinch-output to your AV.
Switch the TV-Speaker off.
Playback the Sound only over your Amp using the Chinchcables.
Then disconnect while Playback the HDMI-Plug.
Only check then the Sound.

Same problem to me, but TV says "720p 3D"

checksum anyone? MD5 SH1... whatever
my download appears ok but can't update successively. tried it about 10 times...with cable connection not wifi... update begins and then suddenly stops and reboots
any other link for download?
managed finally to update after downloading from oficial Himedia Lithuania distributors:
http://www.hdtvlietuva.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=156&t=22304&sid=b68400febfbec3368f6bd0ca2a6a7a5a (http://www.hdtvlietuva.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=156&t=22304&sid=b68400febfbec3368f6bd0ca2a6a7a5a)
Size of update is a little bit bigger. Maybe something is wrong with the file hosted by mediafire...
-
Hi, I was having the same problem and I feel really stupid but it only just clicked when I read that the update was put inside an archive! I was renaming the download "update.zip" and was unable to load it as other people have mentioned. I didn't realise that you had to unzip the download to find the update.zip inside! So, if anyone's like me, unzip the download before updating! Doh! :-[

thanks guys. ;)

How can I tell if my q5 is the European version?

If it has Chinese writing on the top it's definitely the Chinese version.
(http://www.igadgetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/HiMedia-Q5-Quad-Core-tv-box.jpg)
Otherwise it's probably the European version.
In theory you can try the European update and see if it works. The Chinese hardware should not accept 'update.zip' as a valid update file. THIS IS RISKY THOUGH BECAUSE IF IT DID ACCEPT IT (AND WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHAT HYBRID HARDWARE MIGHT BE OUT THERE) IT WOULD BRICK THE BOX.

Lot's of people are having this problem!
Other sites have the update.zip file itself (often renamed) available for direct download.
We put the update.zip file inside of an archive. Reasons being that it allows us to include a README file and it prevents a corrupt download of update.zip from being installed and potentially bricking boxes (the update.zip would not extract if the download was corrupt).

some people have occasionally audio drop outs.
I have same audio drop outs with film ,no with TV serie, but i always do streaming for NAS so i ma not sure is a bug.
-
I also stream from my nas and the audio drop outs occur only with 23,976 movies. 24 and 50/60 is fine.
-
I can reproduce this audio drop outs now. I try to cut this part out of the main movie. Where should I send this to?
-
Can you upload it to MediaFire or similar and send me a link? I'll pass it on to HiMedia. I had dropouts while watching a 2D movie ('Kingsman: The Secret Service') last night.
-
OK. I will do. The dropout occurs at 33 seconds. This clip plays fine with Raspberry 2 and Kodi.
-
I can confirm the dropout. Sent to HiMedia.
-
Yes and file plays fine with PowerDVD or Kodi on Raspberry...

Hi

I get no video but audio plays.
Also on mxplayer it defaults to SW decode as HW not supported and I get a ac3 sound not supported.

I've answered about HEVC on the thread you created for it.
I'll report about MXPlayer to Himedia but it's something MXplayer would have to fix (adding HW support for HiSilicon chipsets). Use Himediaplayer instead.
-
Just a heads up...
CS has published his modded version of 1.0.9 firmware.
I haven't tried it yet and have no feedback.
Prolly will try it later today if I can make the time.

Great. I will post a link in the CS custom firmware thread.
-
The Wrapper is required also if you want 24fps switching in Kodi, without the wrapper Kodi plays everything at current resolution set in Android and of course 108024 is missing from android.
Any option for Himedia to create custom version of Kodi to enable 24fps switching?
-
AncientOne, I leaved you a private msg. Please, could you see it ?
-
sorry man. saw it now. replying next
the wrapper not playing my NAS files is really p******g me off.
It is a Synology NAS and I can't get the shared folders to become completely unprotected so that wrapper can play them... kodi does but no HD audio >:(
-
there is a little hack, open folder with password with himedia media center (shurtcut) than kodi now wrapper work(os just mount net folder with password). it must do every system boot.

The Chinese hardware cannot run anything except the Chinese firmware. I've PM'd you with a link to Himedia's Chinese forum. It can be read using Google translate and has various firmwares for the Chinese hardware. They are all based on the Chinese firmware though, so in Chinese and geared towards Himedia's Chinese streaming services.

Thank you

Is the 23.976 audio dropout something that's likely to be fixed in the near future? I watched 2 films over the weekend and the dropout happened about 6-7 times in each of them. It's only for about half a second, so not a deal breaker, but it is prretty annoying. Do HiMedia typically release new firmwares in quick succession? Thanks!
-
I also dropout the PAPlayer wav formats in Kodi. DVD player OK. Himediaplayer OK.

????? :o
you have audio dropout with audio wav file? audio dropout is for sync between audio e video.
PAPlayer ? :o ?
Kodi player( DVDplayer ) NOT must be used, use as preference himedia APP (video, music...) or you have Android limitation.
I used Kodi player( DVDplayer ) only for download subtitle than playback with himediavideplayer..

Hello looun. With dvdplayer we dont have auto frame switch, 24 neither 23.976 fps playback. And dont have 5.1 flac 96khz playback. Correct ?
You said you use dvdplayer to download subtitle with kodi add-ons and then you can switch to himediavideoplayer ? I never tried it. It is a good solution for a correct playback of streaming contents.
-
yes ;D i am italian ... i need subtitle ....
If you install keymap kodi addon you can set a button(0,1..) to switch player also. ;)
It's one reason it's more good have "wrapper" version of kodi and not "fork" version of kodi on Q5.
kodi is very limited on Q5, but must big function can be used.
Addon limitation is the great missing , but it's for all andorid device HTPC and rapsi is the right way to have full kodi, but i like q5 video quality and not use addon.

Unfortunately, playing off NAS Synology (SMB or / and NFS), so that does not work himediaplayer Kodi.

HI,
I also have a Snology Nas DS414 streaming all content to the Himedia Wrapper and it works perfectly. Did you install it as per the guide?
-
After Installation.

Do you have a password on the share? It needs to be set up for guest access without password.
-
None of this is a step by step description or a video somewhere?
I understand very little English.
The network is live, the password is entered, the setting himdeiawrapper do not know where I should enter password ...
Very nice view of the player, I'm very happy for him, despite the minor flaws.
Thank you for your patience.
