Title: HDR aspect ratio problem.
Post by: ultrasilent on February 07, 2017, 01:12:02 AM
hi guys!
We have major problem with HDR files with aspect ratio different from 16:9.
download this file and test please:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8S2ER8znpF6TGlhaVhYaWVvX2M

when we can suspect this problem solution from himedia? ALL other players have no problem with this file....

Nice HDR  fullscreen(aspect ratio?) bug catch.
HDR video 2.40:1 aspect ratio is  always play in fullscreen with HiMediaVideoPlayer.

HiMediaVideoPlayer

Android player
(http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/94aa/c1dhf2113lhlv8uzg.jpg?size_id=3)

Note: SDR 2.40:1 aspect ratio is play proper as 2.40:1.

You have to make sure under settings, video,  you choose not FULL SCREEN for size and use keep aspect I beleive.

If you choose fit to screen,  full screen,  it removes bars and stretches...
Hope this helps...

What is your firmware?
I have 1.0.9 and have no proper aspect ratio in any player (android player as well).
all the players output this aspect ratio:

HMD-1.0.9 2016-12-13.091707
Bug look to be connect with fullscreen option add by HiMedia in f/w.
Bad aspect ratio have with HiMediaVideoPlayer, DLNA player(a.k.a HiSilicon player), other like Android player, MX player have correct aspect ratio.
Your screenshot look like aspect ratio is set(recognize) like 4:3 and not 16:9 in settings/Playback.

If the files have a resolution of 3840*2160 everything is fine.
But this file has a resolution of 3840*1600.
Seems to me like the player is unable to fill the rest with black and stretches it instead.
 I found another file with a resolution of 3840*1634, which causes the same problems.
Firmware 1.09

Post by: pcristi on February 08, 2017, 08:56:24 AM
@gadr your file is HDR?

3840*2160 is aspect ratio is 1.78:1 == fullscreen, HiMedia/users can't trace/observe fullscreen bug.
3840*1600, 3840*1634, aspect ratio 2.40:1 <> fullscreen, but  HiMediaVideoPlayer play to fullscreen bug are popup.

I have a upnp server (Plex) running on my server and on the  Q5 pro you can use Fantec Media Center for this kind of files.

Normally the Fantec Media Server has a huge underscan, but for these files it works ok.

Yes, too many problems, HDR aspect ratio is the worst in my opinion because this Q10Pro came out for 4K HDR files. Hope Himedia will correct it soon otherwise I will replace it with something else, may be a htpc. :( :(

I agree with this issue, just got mine couple weeks ago, and for my first android box, its been little challenging, but have the hang of it now, but I just discovered this issue with HDR files, at first I thought it was my issue, but now I know. Please have this fixed as Its the one feature I bought this box for.

thank you

I bought this mainly for good PQ and capability to play 4k HDR movies, but now realised all my HDR has this aspect ratio issue!! Damn..
I already have a mid end bluray for 1080 n atmos playback.. shld be look into nvidia shield

Hold your horses...I am sure that HiMedia will correct this issue in the next firmware update, as this is a serious flaw!
Many of us are in the same boat now, and I think these HDR medias with such aspect ratios were made available only recently?

Dear futeko,

2 month are gone, whats about the error correction update?
Could you give us an outlook / date?

Please remember, you offert these Mediaplayer with 4K/10 bit functionality for that reason all the guys (me included) bought it.
And please keep fair and don`t answer "anything plays fine at your side".

Thanks tregobad

Second time the player could not play films it was build for, means 4K and HDR.
First time I was astonished some weeks ago it doesn`t play 10bit, now it can`t play HDR and the correct aspect ratio.
What kind of product have the guys developed and tested before sale?

I like to remind Futeko that I`ve bought a 4K HDR Mediaplayer!

The box will play 4K and HDR. The problem you refer to is only for 4K videos with unusual aspect ratio (not 16:9). HiMedia will fix it.

It can play 10bit (10bit colour) absolutely fine. It will not play the one specific format, Hi10P H264.
Title: Re: HDR aspect ratio problem.
Post by: MacFreibier on March 07, 2017, 01:00:29 PM
This "one specific format" is one of the most important ones when I purchase a 4K HDR Mediaplayer.

I was long time away from this forum and have not used the box as I was disappointed and tired about the framerate issues and now I come back to play the first HDR files and what happens?
What keeps HiMedia from speedy replying to this issue as I think that this should be easy to fix as it works perfectly for 1080p movies and 4k without HDR probably?

This is no fun anymore, I can really tell you that I will not purchase any HiMedia devices again.

There is no 4K HDR video on the whole internet with Hi10P H264, so don't worry. All HDR and most of the 4K is encoded with h265 or x265.

That is 100% correct. AACS2.0 is not hacked, so there is no access to the media on the disc, since it is protected aka scambled.
There is even no drive able to read 4k-BDs currently. Pioneer is soon releasing the world wide first devices to read 4K BDs with selected.
All completely save. Far from being able to rip anything from a disc.

There are 4K HDR HDMI rips out now from UDH Bluray. They are encoded with HEVC 10bits, and look very close in quality to the original discs, and these are the ones that are having the aspect ratio problem on the Q10.

BTW, I have an OPPO 203, and it plays those rips just fine, so it is really a Q10 bug.

Regards.

Ah, now that is interesting! I downloaded several software packages which claim to rip 4k blu-ray discs to ISO files (trials only, I didn't pay for them!). They all copied the discs but the Himedia box would not play them! Nor would my desktop using Power DVD! I had assumed that any Blu-ray drive with BDXL would handle 4k discs.
I'm not that concerned at the moment as I only have three 4k discs, the freebies that came with my Samsung 4k Blu-ray player, so I can watch them on that.

They are not traditional disk rips but copies made with HDMI splitter cable and later remastered with HDR colorspace.

@magnifico Please, would you tell me what software you have used to make your 4k HDR files run on this box? I have tried HandBrake and Avidemux latest version but no luck. In every forum I found someone who says the same like you - but no one tells us how to do.

The privat movie files I build are running on all other players, like VLC, Kodi player, KMPlayer, Windows media player and others.
So I dont think it's me - is'nt it?
The only solution I found is to code the movies full screen with black bars. But that's realy no sulution!

Please, give us advices!

Post by: futeko.com on March 24, 2017, 09:58:40 AM
I agree with much of the disappointment. I expected new Android 7 firmware with the key fixes this week.

My understanding of the situation is that HiMedia have a new SDK from HiSilicon which they expected to provide the fixes but that it hasn't lived up to expectations so it's gone back to HiSilicon for improvements.

The reason why the new Android 5.1 firmware has mainly superficial improvements like the new media browser is that the bugs people want fixing need fixing at chipset level, so need involvement from HiSilicon. I'm confident they'll get fixed, but it will just take longer.

I've tried MX Player because someone wrote that can solve the hdr aspect ratio problem, but I need some help.
In fact the image is not strectched...it's cropped!
I have two big black stripes (much bigger than the usual black stripes) over and under the image which is squeezed.
There are some settings I need to adjust?
(I have already tried every aspect ratio available in the app)
Thx
Title: Re: HDR aspect ratio problem.
Post by: Sully on April 07, 2017, 01:44:58 PM
I wrote this.  I think two big black stripes are normal. Because the aspect ratio is only 3840x1600 (for example, Lucy, but in original UHD it is 2160). Maybe try a film with more vertikal resolution.
Title: Re: HDR aspect ratio problem.
Post by: Grifone1893 on April 07, 2017, 02:08:22 PM
I don't think so.
I've tried the same movie (same mkv)  using the player of my LG Oled tv and the aspect ratio is correct with the usual black stripes sizes.

With MX player for UHD HDR  1.85:1...2.40:1 aspect radio @ultrasilent complain about back bar size and video position are incorrect.
For 3840x1600 video position is too low with 140px and video is cropped with 140px, or at least this what I can see on shared picture via 4pda forum.

BTW I hope HiSilicon will fixed soon, when they push on March 2016 SDK for Q10Pro to market only few UHD HDR demo from Sony/LG/** draft/Life of  Pi draft  is was available for testing, all with 1.78:1 aspect radio.

This is what i mean (and what I see with mx player).

So I think there's no workaround until Hisilicon will fix this bug.
Am I correct?

I'm so sick of waiting for a fix from himedia.
They added useless features instead of fixing annoying bugs.

This box of crap has stolen enough of my time.

I fixed the aspect ratio bug by myself. I'm using a Zappiti right now and everything runs as it should.

I don't think so.
I've tried the same movie (same mkv)  using the player of my LG Oled tv and the aspect ratio is correct with the usual black stripes sizes.

Oh yes, you are right. I had completely forgotten that. My decision is an another box. Either the Zappiti DUO 4K or the new Dune HD Duo 4K. Or maybe a HTPC. Anyway, this box is a big disaster and will sell it.

Why do some people say it will never be fixed when Kodi on my box gives the correct aspect, also SPMC plays back at the correct aspect along with the correct HDR+ informing my Samsung 4K TV to alter its contrast and backlight settings.Both these media players are installed on the same box along with the Himedia player (the only player not playing back at the correct aspect ratio) and therefore use the same hardware, which suggests to me that it is a software problem, please correct me if my logic is incorrect.

Post by: manley on April 16, 2017, 11:30:43 AM
No, I did not try the files you have listed, I only used my own files, The Kodi is the standard one included with the latest firmware  and the SPMC software version is the one downloaded directly using the Playstore in the Pro 10, so nothing special.

Title: Re: HDR aspect ratio problem.
Post by: manley on April 16, 2017, 12:32:33 PM
Yes, as I stated in an earlier reply the Samsung correctly switched it's contrast and backlight settings  for HDR playback and there was also an initial flagging up on the screen that an HDR film was about to play, so all correct. Perhaps your examples are at fault, I will check this later when I have downloaded them. Regarding SPMC there is one particular feature I like, it is when you press the menu button on the remote it provides in the top left hand corner all the details of the file like cpu usage, output info, and output stream bitrate(I like this particularly) plus others, excellent. The only real downside for me using SPMC is that I need my Logitech K400 to navigate the menus properly.

If you install the Kodi version below with the latest Himedia firmware all the HDR samples listed elsewhere in this post will playback at the correct aspect ratio and also show (at least with my 4K Samsung TV) that HDR has been triggered correctly with the revised Samsung  HDR settings.

As I use the Q10Pro with my stereo hifi system I use the SDIF output downmixed to stereo into my dac and this works fine with Kodi or SPMC when playing HDR, it also works into my tv using the hdmi  cable. It may be worth trying the sdif output set to raw and check if this works rather then using the bypass.

Dear futeko,

2 month are gone, whats about the error correction update?
Could you give us an outlook / date?

Please remember, you offert these Mediaplayer with 4K/10 bit functionality for that reason all the guys (me included) bought it.
And please keep fair and don`t answer "anything plays fine at your side".

Thanks tregobad
 


same here.....please fix

To be honest...still so much MAJOR Bugs, every FW new and old unsolved Problems

HDR Aspect Ratio Bug, NO FPS Change on 50/60hz ,BR 3D ISO runs at 24hz ...

Great Device, but FW is bad, i hope they fix it all before a new Player is released ;)

Second time the player could not play films it was build for, means 4K and HDR.
First time I was astonished some weeks ago it doesn`t play 10bit, now it can`t play HDR and the correct aspect ratio.
What kind of product have the guys developed and tested before sale?

I like to remind Futeko that I`ve bought a 4K HDR Mediaplayer!

I hope you are wrong, some user reported they get correct aspect ratio and position with Kodi player and Android 7 FW 2.0.3.
I don't have HDR display to test, but debug information look like user witch reported Kodi play correct are right.

LE: If anyone have HDR display, patience can test repack CFW v2.0.3 with MX Player/Archos Video Player, debug info look good, but need confirmation if display recognize as HDR.

NO it's Bluray rip -> pumped-up to BT. 2020/HDR.  search better doom9 forum  ;)

The final file is HEVC  BT. 2020/HDR , but it's  HDR home-made very very different to real HDR come from  master 4k/2k film.

They are very good rip (HDMI capture + real HDR metadata captured) still not untouched video available on the net (just one ,smurfs) but very good quality for those rip (search for lucy 4k hdr....;)

NO it's Bluray rip -> pumped-up to BT. 2020/HDR.  search better doom9 forum  ;)

The final file is HEVC  BT. 2020/HDR , but it's  HDR home-made very very different to real HDR come from  master 4k/2k film.

And  NOPE , HDMI-in capture is very BAD ... highlight is burned ! and audio is off sync! ecc....

Disagree.

1: I didn't experience any highlight burns or offsync audio. I mean, come on... how hard is to sync an audio with a video..? What noobish rips do you encounter?
2: Actually a better rls has pretty good HDR, I recommend you reading this:
http://tekno3d.com/2017/01/12/visionplus-vs-dolby-vision-vs-hdr10/ (http://tekno3d.com/2017/01/12/visionplus-vs-dolby-vision-vs-hdr10/)
3: I came across so many utterly bad DVD/BluRay published by different studios vs a lot of home-made, cleaned up and good rls  that I don't really believe the "publisher superiority".  Furthermore you can check http://www.dvdbeaver.com/ (http://www.dvdbeaver.com/) to see how can different publishers go all wrong with horrible picture quality with the different transfers.

Thanks for the info - If other players like MX and Kodi-native do not present the HDR aspect ratio issue, it makes me wonder why Himedia keeps pointing to the need of an SDK update. For me it sounds like this would be just a fix on the Q10/Q5 Native Player apk....

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!

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.

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

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 (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=192651)

Or you need to use mountpoints:

It usually takes 3 months for HiMedia to publish a new firmware. So you need to wait about one more month to see if they fix anything. Till then I recommend you to read this guide:

HiMedia have said early/mid May for Kodi 17 passthrough and HDR unusual aspect ratio fix. Both are dependent on HiSilicon.

I have limited ability to influence timescale. It goes futeko >> HiMedia >> HiSilicon.

Dear Futeko,
May is gone some weeks ago, what are the status concerning the Update ?
And please, don?t answers like: "use MXplayer".
I bought an expensive 4K Mediaplayer and don?t like to fiddle around with the MX Pro.
In easy words: I would like to have, what I payed for. Bad enough that I have to wait for these core functionality till now.
Many thanks.

I realised the problem.. I'm on 5.1.1. I assumed the auto updater would resolve this.
Right now I'm trying to get some information on if the upgrade to 7.2 still works as per the other thread.
