After meanwhile reinstalling the Firmware 5 times. it was not possible to let the player play 1080p, or 720p or even SD MKV material in 24 Hz.
It only plays in the Hz, that is set in the options.
it isn't possible in Kodi 15.2 & 16.1 and it isn't possible in Himedia MediaPlayer.
No chance, even if there isn't any change, only installing Firmware, (no Changes) only starting Kodi, exit, starting wrapper, exit, setting 24Hz in however 50Hz or 60 Hz and only the set Hz is played, not one time I saw the Q10 Pro play MKVs or AVIs in 24Hz.
Is this a Firmware bug?
-
Do you have USB RF dongle ?

Yes, meanwhile, but as I wrote, even absolute clean, without changing language, adding WLan or installing whatever, it is not possible to have the change to 24Hz.
I downloaded the Firmware and the Wrapper from here in the Forum.
Until now, after five times reinstalling the Firmware, I did NOT one time see 24Hz with the Q10 Pro.
My Q5 does all the 24Hz Auto switches in all MKVs, my Q10 Pro not.
I can switch it On/Off in the System Options, or during a movie in the Himedia Mediaplayer, and it always stays on 60 or 50Hz.
No changes whe switching to 24Hz.
BTW
Too with the Firmware from here the Google Store crashes, as soon as I begin to write anything, and latest after the fifth letter it crashes resp. ends to the desktop. Only installing the newest Google play Store solved this problem.

May I ask futeko directly:
Is there an Auto frame switching bug in the current Firmware?
Please be honest. ;)
-
There is no '24p switching in MKV' bug.
We've shipped a large number of Q10 Pro and 24p switching is a core feature. If it didn't work then you would be seeing reports/complaints all over this forum.
How have you got the Q10 Pro connected to your TV / projector?
-
Same, as the Q5 4K 3D, I disconnected the Q5 and connected the Q10 Pro.
Q10 Pro OUT - HDMI Cable - Yamaha RX-677 IN - Passthrough - Yamaha RX-677 OUT - HDMI Cable - Sony Bravia 50" IN
This worked with Q5 Autoframe Switching 50/60/24Hz, and the same constellation does not work with Q10 PRo.
With the Q10 Pro there is absolutely no frameswitching. It only works the Hz, that are set in the System Options of the Box.
Do I set them to 50Hz it always is 50Hz (but stuttering)
Do I set them to 60Hz it always is 60Hz (no stuttering)
Absolutely no frame switching.

there aren't any issues about "24Hz Auto switches":
1080p 23,976

Do you have try to connect q10 pro to -> Sony Bravia, without Yamaha RX-677?
-
Are you using the cable from the Q10 Pro box between Q10 Pro and Yamaha?
-
First time I started the Q10 Pro yes, but I had stuttering, why I then took the one, that I used for the Q5 4K 3D.
Tonight I will try again the one from Q10 Pro.

For clarity, when you test, please use the following samples from the Kodi samples page.
It will allow other users (and us) to test and compare.

I also havnt probs with m2ts in 24p, only some mkv arent recognized, but it is no prob for me. THX

futeko, thanx, I will try them. :)

Hi
If you have a USB RF dongle for a keyboard/airmouse installed it may be causing your problem, it did for me. Remove the dongle reboot the box and do not plug it back in then see if the Q10 Pro switches to 24p. Bizarrely this was the problem for me, the dongle also screwed up the sound output completely, i.e no sound out at all!
See my post here:

I still get some mkv 2D movies staying on the TV Hz setting and not switching, but they seem to play not too bad panning shots are just slightly choppy.
All 3D movies switch over to 24p (ISO and mkv SBS), but not all 2D.
Hope this helps

I was having problems with this as well, but it works after setting HDMI Output to Auto and 1080p24Hz to ON under Settings/Playback. Not sure if I've fiddled with the advanced settings as well, but my default resolution is 1080p/60.
-
There must be a fault on "alterschwede" side.
Absolutely NO problem here with Switching to 24P material.
Could proove that by pics of my JVC X7000.
1. Settings > More > Display
- HDMI auto adaption ENABLED
2. Settings > Playback
- 1080P24Hz ENABLED
No reboot to be 1000% sure the settings have been overtaken (check them!!!)
If 24P still does not work...watch out for other devices in the order....AVR for example!
-
Magnifico, HDMI Auto ends up in stuttering nearly every movie.
This sets the output to 1080p 50 Hz, and that even manually produces endless stuttering in all non 24Hz movies.
Futeko, here my results.
It is a bit special.
Your reference material in 24Hz and important 1080p was played in 24Hz 1080p.
What I did not recognize is, that I in 95% of all movies, I have Classics in SD and the rest in 720p.
Only a few movies are in 1080p and even less of those 1080p movies in 24Hz.
To be exact, I found only one Movie in 1080p 24Hz, it is Avatar, and it is played in 1080p and 24Hz.
So far so good.
The serious thing is, that I have hundreds or even thousends of movies in 720p 24Hz and too even SD movies in 24Hz.
But the Q10 Pro does not identify them as 24Hz, they are always played in 1080p 60Hz.
Is that, how it should be?
That the Q10 Pro only recognizes 24Hz Material, if it is in 1080p?
So is it correct, that SD and 720p 24Hz material is not played in 1080p 24Hz?
Or will there be an Update, so that too 720p and SD material is played in 1080p 24Hz?
Is this a bug?
Thanx.
BTW I recognized a little bug.
When playing movies with 1080p 60Hz and I press the TV Mode Button, the display shows "1080p 60Hz".
When playing movies with 1080p 24Hz and I press the TV Mode Button, the display shows ... nothing. :(
-
You're right, Alter_Schwede62, it only works for 1080 content and only when using Media Center for selecting the video. When I use Kodi it stays at 60Hz for 1080 content as well. That is particularly unfortunate because Media Center refuses to play a lot of my files.
-
Same prob here , auto framerate 24hz not working

Again the question to futeko.com:
Will there be an Update, so that too 720p and SD 24Hz material will be played in 1080p 24Hz?
Or isn't that planned?

If you install wrapper for Kodi switching works exactly as with HiMedia video player app.

We will test some 720p 23.976 material and, presuming that you are correct that it won't auto switch frame rate, we'll mention to HiMedia that it should auto-switch the same as 1080p.
-
Yes, that really would be great!
Thanx, futeko! :D
-
I Had a similar problem to this. Only 3d was switching to 24hz.
What I found that fixed the issue was going into Q10 settings->display->custom display format and trying different settings. I cannot remember which setting I selected as I am at work and not got access.
By changing the setting I found it also allowed me to set video and colour space to YCbCr444 10bit. When display format was set to 4k 60hz it did not allow me to select this mode.
Anyway after changing display. Think I selected 4k @ 30hz then I could select the YCbCr444 10bit and movies started switching to the correct frame rate.

Yes, but unfortunately that also makes me unable to play a lot of my files at all. The HiMedia player just says "Content cannot be read". It would be much better if it was possible to select 24 Hz manually. Btw, it doesn't switch automatically for 25Hz content that is not 1080p either.

In Kodi if you press menu button on remote when file is selected you'll get a menu with an option 'play using'. You can use this to choose DVDPlayer (Kodi internal player) if you prefer.
After some testing we acknowledge the non-1080p auto frame rate switching problem and will report it to HiMedia.

Thank you very much. :)
