Is it possible to implement subtitles download in Himedia video player?
To be similar to BS player for example, download from 3 websites.
-
It would require a lot of work to add it to HiMedia player.
I think what is more likely to happen is support for Q5/Q10 Pro is integrated into Kodi so you can use Kodi's subtitle download options / add-ons.

One vote more for integration within Media Centre. Very simple to use in practice and great for the customer/user, but agreed a bit more complex to implement.
KODI is not simple for users.

Yes, it will be good solution too.

i can swear i saw this on a video of the q10pro showing it had a subtitle downloader in their settings menu
Its not there?
-
Not in HiMedia app.
In Kodi, yes.
-
i'm wrong
It was this video:

There you have a thing "search subtitles"
it has same chipset..
mmm
Dont think it will be able to download.
Anyway. if himedia's q10 pro will have full kodi support without wrapper, it would rock
-
That product uses the same chipset as HiMedia M3. It's a 2014 HiSilicon chipset.
Interesting that it has similar media player app but better interface. I guess the manufacturer has added those options. Personally I'd prefer HiMedia to work on Kodi, it will be impossible for HiMedia (or any manufacturer) to beat Kodi's subtitle support so better to get Kodi working as well as possible.

it's Hisilicon Hi3798C V200 stock/SDK player APP , there is also into Q10 pro , it's very very basic...
You can try: open app file manager like x-plorer/es explorer and select open with -> there is two player app himedia.video and hisilicon.video

Any posibilities to have KODI download the subtitles somehow before launching it with the wrapper? (like launch it first without wrapper so it downloads the subtitles and then launch it when the subs are installed?)
-
yes , you can:
- install keymap editor add-on program
- edit keymap and set "Switch player" to button 0 (zero) for esample
- now go video
- select "play with" -> DvDplayer
- download the subtitles
- press zero button -> so wrapper start

Excellent tip that will help many people.
I will add it to the FAQ.
-
Yes, good hint, thank you.
But the switching with 0 key (for example) doesn't work by me.
I can choose the subtitles after I stop the Kodi and then play the movie with the Wrapper.

I have the same problem. Switching the player is not working.
I have download the keymap editor through the system addons and than edited the playback key that switches player and made sure to save it.
Anything I missed here?
-
I have the exact same problem . as you guys, not working ....
Would be interested to know what other solution it could be.
-
Just tested and it is a bit long winded but it definitely works.
1. Assign key to switch player.
Install Keymap editor. PROGRAMS - Program add-ons - Get more... - Keymap Editor.
Run Keymap editor. PROGRAMS - Program add-ons - Keymap Editor.
Find Switch Player entry. Edit - Videos - Playback - Switch Player (bottom entry).
Assign key to Switch Player. Edit key - 0.
Save and exit. Back - Back - Back - Save.
2. You also need to have a suitable subtitle download add-on installed. This must write .srt files to the movie directory, not all do and if a .srt file isn;t written then the HiMedia wrapper won't recognise that there is a subtitle present. So..
Install Subscene subtitle add-on. SYSTEM - Add-ons - Install from repository - Kodi Add-on repository - Subtitles - Subscene.com - Install.
3. Play video.
Play any movie using DVDplayer. Find movie, press menu button on remote when it's selected and choose 'Play using' - DVDplayer.
Press OK on remote to get Kodi playback menu. Navigate to subtitle icon (bottom right, 4th icon from right). Select 'Download'.
Choose suitable subtitle from list.
Back out so movie is playing full screen again. Press button you mapped for switch player (e.g. 0 as above). Switch to HiMediaplayer.
When movie is playing in Himediaplayer press menu button on remote - Subtitle settings - Sub switching - Select subtitle.

This procedure assumes that one knows that he wants/needs an extra subtitle file. That is often not the case.
So I typically fire up a movie using KODI which obviously uses Wrapper and not DVDplayer to find out it does not have a subtitle I want.
An adopted (more complete) procedure would use 2 keys ( 0-switch to Himediaplayer and 1-switch back to DVDplayer). Everybody can then conveniently toggle players that way too for other reasons. In my view this could even be installed standard with the activation of Wrapper (or be made a configuration option).
