1. M3 interface is 720p. Q5/Q10 it can be switched to 720p or 1080p in display settings. Video on M3 plays at the correct resolution up to 1080p.
2. Not sure with the one file. A crackling sound might indicate a problem with how the audio is encoded or the M3 is not recognising the format immediately. In Settings - More - Sound try changing the HDMI Output setting to something other than auto. If you're using passthrough this may get rid of any problem caused by no immediate recognition of the format.
3. Some add-ons won't play nicely with himediawrapper. The default watched indicator doesn't work with the wrapper either. HiMedia know about it but it's more a bug/drawback of kodi, they need to fix the way media is marked as watched when using an external player. It's broken in kodi. In general where add-ons don't like the wrapper you can install a second instance of Kodi in the form of SPMC. http://spmc.semperpax.com/ So you'll have one Kodi with wrapper and one without for troublesome add-ons.
4. 3D ISO on the Q5/Q10 starts playing at 720p rather than 1080p so needs switching to 1080p each time. It might not be a big with the M3, which uses a different chipset and different base firmware.

1) M3 is Always 720p ? Why is that? If i knew that i would get the Q5 instead... since M3 plays video as well in 1080, you suspect differently in gui
Can you please make us able to switch to 1080 instead of 720.. covers look washed out on 90 inch screen..
Why was this chosen?
2)It is set to auto now indeed, but isnt this passthrough? How do i make sure it is set to passthrough?
3) Trakt is really important to me, it keeps auto track of what you watch and you can rate movies and stuff
a second kodi instance doenst help either , since you have to play the movie before its able to rate
and i need wrapper to play it so..
this trakt addon is differently from what kodi sets as watched..
Can you please look into it? Report it to himedia? They have a look?
4)Ah i see , well advantage then over Q5

1. M3 renders the interface at 720p. If you choose 1080p in settings it is upscaled. The output is whatever you set it to in settings and video is played at whatever you set it to in settings. I will talk to Himedia tomorrow about why the Q5/Q10 have a setting for changing interface resolution and M3 does not.
2. For HDMI passthrough the HDMI setting is best set to RAW. Then HBR degrade should be set to 5.1 or 7.1 depending on your setup.
3. I will report it.

1) are you talking about settings in himedia or in kodi? In kodi i cant change resolution in settings
2) clear now, thx , will adjust it.
3) thx mate

Hi,
Did you get any respons for the 720p Gui?
Reported trakt problem?
Thx
-
Not yet, sorry. It's difficult sometimes talking to Himedia because of the time difference.
By 12pm tomorrow guaranteed.
-
Ok no problem
I understand.
Thx for reporting
-
Interface on M3 should be 1080p (or whatever resolution in main Android settings). Same as Q5/Q10. I have sent photos of the reported difference (720p vs 1080p) between Q10 and M3 in Kodi System Info and Himedia are passing it on to their engineering team.
There is no interface resolution switch in the later Q5/Q10 firmwares, I was wrong about that. Interface is always rendered at the main Android setting resolution.
If the M3 is set to 1080p then the actual output is always 1080p in Kodi regardless of what Kodi reports, so this problem could be just Kodi misreporting resolution?
For the trakt problem, exactly what should I install to replicate it?

Here's a pic of the 720p interface
Like i said, its hard to see it on pic, but in real life the covers lack sharpness
Any news from himedia about it?
How about the trakt addon?

It's a national holiday in China today. I will talk to them tomorrow.

Ok thx

Another question
I got beta 1 installed now, but beta 2 is out
(have mediawrapper installed too)
Can i just overwrite kodi? without touching wrapper, so that everything in kodi is not reset?
Or do i have to start over from rewriting firmware? :(
-
Installing a more recent version of Kodi 15 should leave both your library and himediawrapper intact.
I've just tested it going from 17/6 nightly to 22/6 nightly and that's how it worked here.
-
Just overwrite it? or delete it first?
On windows if you delete, the profile polder is intact.. i'm not sure with android
-
I just installed the new version without doing anything else.
I would suggest doing a backup first if you want to be sure. http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Backup

ok good: ty

Himedia are looking at why Kodi reports 720p. Fixing it will not be very quick, it will be a case of waiting for a firmware update.
For Trakt, it seems to be a problem with Trakt and how it handles external players (playercorefactory) more than the M3. It will require a fix from Trakt. All Android boxes which use an external player in Kodi will have the same problem.

But they will fix it with firmware update for 720p?
Ok with trakt, i will ask creator.
-
any news so far about gui issue?
About the trakt addon.
-> They (maker of addon and kodi devs) say if the addon is working in kodi, then nothing is wrong with addon
Since it is working in kodi, guess thats it
However, if i use himediawrapper, its not working anymore
Can you pass this too pls?

We await new firmware.
The trakt problem is probably a problem with all external players called from kodi. But himedia are aware and are looking at it. If there is a workaround they will implement it.

Very cool
thx!
-
I have another very annoying thing
i get an annoying message in kodi "swipe down from the top to exit full screen"
I can get rid of it for a second when pressing volume button, but seconds later its back.
How do i get rid of it permanently?
-
That is annoying. I agree.
If you use a USB mouse to swipe down (click and drag) it will disappear and not come back.
-
Think its gone.. Thx
Hope himedia will resolve other issues soon

Futeko? No news of new firmware?
that solves all problems? still no 1080 gui
-
Not much respons?

Hopefully new M3 / Q5 / Q10 4K3D firmware at the end of this week.

Great
Hopefully 1080p kodi gui and trakt problem fixed for m3
For q5 hopefully audio drop fixed, then i'll buy one
