Title: IPTV streaming issue only with 2.04
Post by: mrlonely78 on July 11, 2017, 02:34:07 AM: Hi everyone,

Thanks for the 2.04 firmware, the q10 pro almost become my ultimate box if no issue with the IPTV streaming.

I have IPTV streaming account, and for the 3 months, on 2.01, there is no issue with the streaming. However, after update to 2.04, i have an issue, whereby the streaming always stuck like buffering every 3 to 4 seconds, which cause me almost impossible to watch.

Then i tested with another app on the same box, and having same issue, so what i can say is, the buffering is only existed in the 2.04 firmware.

I have tested streaming from SD channel, HD and FHD channel, only SD no buffering, the rest is all buffering.

Checked with the service provider and other end users, none having issue as mine.

Anyone having similar issue with 2.04?

Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback.

However, on 2.01, there is micro stutter issue which is fixed in 2.04.

Hmm, i may need to wait for 2.05 then.

Last night i managed to install cfw 2.04, and tested again on the problem.

Its appeared in the cfw and fw of 2.04.

Then, i try to use Kodi with Stalker IPTV add on, and the buffering is still there with wrapper enabled.

Mediacodec surfaced has been disabled, but still the same buffering issue is there.

Then i try to modify playercore xml file to get the mx player to play, however, its not working.

The kodi still using the wrapper to play.

Below is the playercore content that i created.

*********************************************************
<playercorefactory>
<players>

      <player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
         <filename>com.himedia.xbmcwrapper</filename>
         <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
         <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
      </player>

<player name="MXPlayerFree" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad</filename>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
</player>

</players>
<rule video="true" player="Wrapper"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Anyone can help?

Your playercorefactory looks almost right. The bit that needs changing is at the bottom, "<rule video="true" player="Wrapper"/>

I've also removed some unnecessary bits.

Code: [Select]
<playercorefactory> <players>  <player name="MXPlayerFree" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> <filename>com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad</filename> <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime> </player> </players> <rule video="true" player="MXPlayerFree"/> </rules> </playercorefactory>
