Hi, all
Tired old subject but when can we expect an update for this bothersome issue? It's been bugging me since i bought the bloody things. All I want is to use Kodi's interface (unless they improve the wrapper... doesn't even mark episodes as watched) and to listen to HD audio in all its glory
TIA
Dave

Wrapper marks as watched ... but not with NFS, i use this function in AEON MQ 7
-
Kodi HD Audio passthrough should be coming in the next release. If you need it asap you can give a try to this Kodi fork:
http://spmc.semperpax.com/ (http://spmc.semperpax.com/)
Kodi external player (wrapper) automatic watch points:
http://kodi.wiki/view/external_players (http://kodi.wiki/view/external_players)
Look for: playcountminimumtime

I know that it has often been asked but does anyone know when the new update comes?
Himedia also asked but no more response?
We are also waiting for the HD audio passthrough for Kodi 17.x with streaming.

Mine only marks the first played episode as watched. When it carries onto the next episode(s) it doesn't mark them as watched. Using SMB (I think).

Yes, but that's just a promise and HiMedia not always fulfill those.

Oh the irony :o

Has the new Firmware fixed this problem?
-
Has the new Firmware fixed this problem?
No, the situation is the same as 2.0.3.
Kodi+wrapper gives full HD-Audio for local media.
Standard Android Kodi gives 2 channel PCM only in internal player.
Kodi 'shitty' build or SPMC gives 5.1 channel passthrough in internal player.

When is hisilicon going to address this issue? ?

You have to delete the old version first. Go on your box to Settings - More - Apps - Kodi - Clear data en Clear cache - Uninstall.
Restart your box and then install the 17.4 version.

Thanks, I've been in this location to activate but the activation part of the various types of audio does not appear to me, it will probably be the preview mode, I will soon when I get home I will check again, thank you

You must be in the Advanced or Expert mode to get this!

I also think not.
The 'shitty' builds restore Kodi 16.1 audio system, which gave 5.1 passthrough max from Kodi internal player.

Hi!
I'm and old Plex user, have used it for years. Do you know if the official Plex app will ever work good on this device? My problem now is that the Plex Server transcodes every single file, it doesnt matter if it is aac, ac3, dts, dts-hd and so on. It just transcodes.
Now with the 2.0.4 custom build and the plex add-on for Kodi my q5 direct plays every file except the dts-hd ones, so that is ok.
Do you now if dts-hd will ever work with the plex add-on for Kodi? Will Kodi ever work with dts-hd?
-
Official Plex become badly every time when major version number change, last working for me is Plex-4.32.3.676 with Android player use. Note official Plex application can direct play only first audio track. A best option to save CPU usage on server is to use Kodi + Plex Addon, add-on have some nice feature like chapter list, subtitles download, direct play any audio track from files, support PGS subtitles without transcode, etc.

When Q Pro series come on market not once think will be possible to get(have) Android version update and Kodi more that dd, dts passthrough.
Only Hisilicon can know when/if will adopt IEC61937 standard inside of RAW or both standards, IEC61937 is not working/use in 98% of Android devices.
A good news is Android O look to have full support for IEC61937 direct on source witch maybe can be port back to older Android version and a better once Kodi 18 will have different way of probing of IEC and is considered reverting to RAW on failure. A time past will show as what will be.
