Hi futeko.
I think we need a new features topic. I start here ;-)
When I watch a movie Whit kodi, I have the choice to play with DVD player or the wrapper.
But when I want listen music, then it's always the kodi player. That's why I cannot read 192khz misic whit Kodi. Could it possible to use the wrapper to listen music?
Thanks
-
I will pass this onto HiMedia.
-
The Himedia wrapper does nothing with the default audio/subtitle track which is set in MKV files !
The wrapper plays alwas track 1 and subtitle 1
Update wrapper so that he reads de defaults in an MKV file !
-
I would like to see a smaller pointer icon , its huge . "little problem I know but it really looks out of place"
Also and this might be because I am a newbie with the Q10 but where is the status and notification bar?
I use this to check signal and most importantly to ensure my VPN is running while I am in Kodi etc.
Am I missing a setting to turn these on because I cant believe they are not present? :o
Great box though, I'm properly impressed with it. 8)

Is possible to change via adb shell on framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\pointer_arrow.png
I try to use small size, but make hard to see on table/phone using HiControl or TV until 40".

Thanks for the answer Futeko.
When i use de Hicontrol app, the navigation bar appears. But it's the only way to see it.
is there a way to use the multitask whit the remote control? If no, could you ask HImedia to add the feature?
Thanks
-
This need to ask on Kodi forum, external play is not implemented for music files is use PAPlayer by default.

The navigation bar is something that I think most users would prefer never appears. It's been discussed with other products on this forum before. The annoyance of it popping up outweighs it's usefulness.
A better solution would be if a button on the remote brought up the task manager (as if pressing the square nav bar button). I will pass it onto HiMedia.
-
Yes that would be perfect :D today when you want to switch between different apps, you have to return to the home scenn and then lanch the app again !
-
I don't know why no one has mentioned this yet:
When changing the volume (using wrapper), the symbol is gigantic and in the middle of the screen.
It would be much better if it was in the top left/right corner and much smaller.

LOL yeah fair point, I would prefer the bottom left corner though :D

Feature request:
Native support for gamepads.
See here http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=872.msg6077#msg6077
I can connect my gamepads at home to my old Samsung Galaxy S2, but not with the Q10 pro.
Using the Q10 pro as a system for emulation of old games was one of the reasons i bought it.

Feature request:
Q 10 Pro with internal HDD.
Have a pop up/warning appear when connecting a USB cable to the back of Q10 Pro, since it will override access to the HDD.
If you don't know that, you might think that
a) your HDD does not work with Q10 Pro
b) SATA or HDD is defect

Hi there,
my most needed Feature is the Widevine Level 1 Support for the Q10Pro.
You can check the Device with the app (DRM Info) from the Marketplace and it's actually Display "not Supported".
Futeko can you ask @HiMedia for this Feature?

HiMedia gained a Widevine licence last month and are working to implement it in future firmware.

I have a lot of CD's, DVD's and bluray disc's that I cannot play anymore. Previously used PS3 for that (broken)
Is there any way to connect an external USB CD-DVD-Bluray player to the Himedia Q10.
The small ones inteded for laptops would be perfect, they run on the q10 power and are cheap.
I've seen an outdated Samsung optical smart HUB SE-208BW that seems to do the trick with the exception of Blu-ray.
I can't grasp windows having no issues with these things yet Android does and users don't seem to care and maybe scrap their bought and payed for legal blu-ray and audio discs.
please help me understand.

Android does not support physical DVD / CD / BD drives.
I have read about DVD drives with an AV mode being supported (they work same as attached USB storage - showing disc contents as data) but this will be of limited use. You may be able to play DVDs in a rudimentary way but definitely not BD. The Samsung drive you mention I think works like this.
I suggest ripping your discs to HDD. You'll probably have to do this eventually..
-

A level 1 licence is required in order to watch Netflix HD content. But, if I'm not wrong, a Netflix authorization is also required. My guess is that's why the OP is requesting this feature. Could you ask if Netflix HD access is planned for this device?
Thanks and regards

Netflix HD is unlikely. HiMedia say it's very difficult for an overseas company to get Netflix HD certification.
I'm still waiting for a reply re. Widevine. It may expand on the above answer a little.

Did make ISO's from most of my DVD, BD and SACD. You may P.M. me for questions about the how.
Second reason to do this is getting a good backup.
ISO support with Q10 Pro (and native folders) is pretty decent but not perfect yet:
- Hope to get SACD working with the next update?
- Hope to get Menu support (in media center) at least for DVD but better also for BD. It has hinted that it might be coming?
- With version 1.03 almost all my ISO's do play. After availability of version 1.05 will start reporting any exceptions. All are standard material as commercially released some are stripped and some are re-muxed / re-encoded (DVD mainly).
- Native folders are detected with a matching ICON (DVD and BD), but ISO's are not. Would be nice if this was done too.
- The standard file browser does strange things. Selecting Video for instance will reveal more File types than ALL does. ALL allows more file operations though which is a correct implementation.

Keep in mind that many users want this feature in an Android box and if Himedia aspire to be the leading company in the market, they should achieve it.

If it were entirely up to HiMedia then it would happen. Unfortunately, it's not. It's Netflix who are restricting access to their HD app.

Update from HiMedia, Widevine level 3 will be in future firmware.
Widevine level 1 needs to be implemented in hardware so will not happen with Q5/Q10 Pro.

Thx for this Information. It's a Bad news for me but good to know.
-
Wrapper plays next file automatically - this should be optional/off.
Wrapper does not dim video when paused for a longer period of time - possible burn-in for Plasma tv owners.
-
Choosing different fonts in wrapper, or ability to upload fonts to device would be nice. My old player based on RTD 1073DD chipset had that feature:-).
-
This are HiMediaVideoPlayer not Wrapper request
- plays next file automatically, when video is playing just press on IR remote/AirMouse Menu/Play Mode and set your need ex: Single Play
- dim video when paused for a longer period of time already passed to HiMedia like nice to have.

Hi . !
I wish that Himedia make functional sharpness option of Imprex Processing Engine 2 .
Thank you!

Imprex 2 being more subtle than Imprex 1 is something HiMedia say will be improved upon in the next firmware.

Hello!
My feature requests would be:
1. To select external subtitles which are differently named as the video, and (like in a browser, that only shows subtilte files), even from a different folder.->Tho' many MP manufacturers didn't even bothered with the idea so far, that would be a really cool and landmark feature to see in Himedia players first. (Something I identify as an obvious, yet uncomprehendedly impaired feature.)
2. The "Shadow" of the subtitles could be better and nicer profiled. It's -some unusual way- gray and not wery distinctive or nicely contoured, black colour would go better in general for shadows just as for readibility. Also an option for choosing character thickness (rather than just the size) would be a nice feature. But stricktly speaking i mean something like the default subtitle character in "Media Player Classic Home Cinema", that I just miss sometimes...
3. Subtitle Time adjustment scale extended to +5, -5 minutes. ->(Mostly anticipated!)
4. An option to expand 21:9 aspect ratio 3D iso videos to 16:9 apsect ratio (so it can fill the whole screen on a FHD (or even on 4K) TV. I know This sounds a bit unusual, but I just prefer sometimes the "bigger picture" in overall (despite some -in my point of view- barely recognizable stretching). TV's in 3D mode don't have such an adjustment option, and I take a chance on that It might could be solved with the Box instead.
5. An app (or shortcut like solution) to close background running apps. I have this issue with Poweramp app, which with the
"Home" button wouldn't close (or exit) completly and it keeps running in the background (does go back to the Home screen however). This causes the media controll buttons (Play/Pause, FF,FR) on the remote to still reacting to Poweramp, whichever application I run afterwards (like Himedia Player), so I must navigate always to Settings->More->Apps->Running->Close to close it manually. It may seem a bit rare inconviniency, but it's already pesky enough if there are nothing but a few applications concerned.
6. An option to access the bottom Notification Bar via the stock remote.
7.(Bonus) An option to save and change Imprex settings in different profiles. Even with user naming the profiles or just an option to choose between them on the go (Like : Porfile 1, Profile 2, etc...) It could be usefull in the cases of frequenty rotating between different quality HD and SD (and sometimes more noisy) source videos.
Thanks and I hope some of them will get the attention for consideration... :)

Some players have a "Browse for file option". Would be great.

Asked for exactly the same. Should be on the list already. Current 1 Sec is useless.

Can be done by pulling up the Notification Bar from the bottom. There is an option for this.

How the Notification Bar can be accessed via the stock remote? I guess one need at least a different imput device for this (like an air mouse). And which icon on the Bar did you mean? From the "Recent Apps" (the quad icon) menu you won't be able to close them, it just list the recently runned apps, but not the ones that are still running, the "X" on the corner just removes them from this specific list. (Have tried and checked in Setting->More->Apps->Running in the case of Poweramp).
Thanks!
Edit: modded the list, with the Notification Bar access request.

1. I will pass this onto HiMedia. It may already be implemented in next firmware which will make changes to the subtitle part of HiMediaplayer.
2. I believe this will be improved in next firmware.
3. Definitely improved in next firmware. Up to +/- 10 seconds. Do you mean 5 minutes? Or seconds?
4. A zoom function for himediaplayer has been requested before but I see it as unlikely to happen. It would require work by HiSilicon. A 3D ISO zoom function is very unlikely.
5. Using mouse you can pull up the nav bar, select the square icon to get a list of recent apps, and close them. But this requires a mouse. Better access to this function using remote has been requested by us. We'd like direct access to the recent apps menu using a single remote button (e.g. 0).
-
We really mean 5 minutes for time shifting. A change to 10 sec helps only for some sources. Please implement a number of wheels to adjust shifts logarithmic (e.g. 100 msec, sec. 10 sec, min) or use a slider.
This has to do with subtitles made for various sources. The intro's may be different in length or be stripped altogether leading to very big off-sets for subtitles.
It may make sense to make a structural difference between internal and external subtitles. The big adjustments are typically for external subtitles.
-

3. Yes I meant also 5 minutes. However, 10 sec is also better than the current, but might worth go with the bigger scale already in the first run.
5. I don't know if how it might be limited or possible in the OS, but I guess accessing the whole bottom Nav Bar (witrh a single button on the stock remote) would be a more full solution. From where we could reach the other Bar icons and fuctions as well, if they're would be selectable with the remote and highlighted as selected.
However as I have written in the previous post, I don't think the "Recent Apps" menu has to do anything with the "Backgrund running apps", rather than -as it's been titled- only with the recently runned, but closed apps, as far as I could unravel. Please see my previous post for details. (Or I might be wrong in this case, or missunderstood how it works, as I'm unexperienced in Andoid in general, but you can check it by your self, that the lists of the apps in the "Recent Apps" and in the Settings->Apps->Running menu are totally different... And "X"-ing e.g. Poweramp app within "Recent Apps" menu, won't close it, as I have tried.) So another solution might be better to cook up.
For the rest, it's good to read that the other changes are on the way in the next fw! :)
Thanks!

This strange request 5 minutes --> 6000 steps of 100ms witch is not practical or is wrong understanding your request.
For fixing out of sync subtitles with huge problems is better to search for other version or use dedicate software on PC like: Subtitle Workshop.
10 seconds in 1.0.6 beta2 HiMediaVideoPlayer is already 200 steps

OK some explanation as not everybody has the same needs.
a) Yes 200 clicks is already too much, but there are other (smarter) ways to skin this cat. You e.g. may deploy a slider control + small steps or use separate wheels per digit to do this. Was already pointed out. I can make a snapshot of a media player doing this really nice.
b) Getting another (correct) subtitle file may often work for English subtitles but try this with other languages like Dutch or Spanish which many of us need. Often there is only one or just a few all having the wrong off-set.
c) Using tools for editing is nice if you plan to see the same movie often. But we are talking about time-shifting for one-time viewing mostly. I also need on-demand subtitles for occasional family/friends/visitors joining my viewings not understanding the original audio/subtitles included (mostly English)
d) It is meant specifically for External Subtitles only not for Internal as these should not have such big off-sets. For Internal subtitles 10 sec is already adequate. This may ease the actual implementation.

I can understand your argument, but maybe it could be practically delivered with 3 kind of seperate milli/sec/minute sliders, like this 3 beneath one another, don't you think? So there won't be a need to radically extend the step scale for the millisec slider.

Nice Monkey, Mount81
Always time is money, programing, debugging and bug fix after public release is cost, usage and benefit is too small on my opinions.
10 seconds can understand for TV Show can be usefuly. But how many times did you rely need minutes?
All Country have few dedicate subtitles portal from where can download sync version or better subtitle.
Will spend more time to control and get acceptable value for sync that duration of movie/clip itsef.
IR Control/Mouse mode are not convenabile for this.
PS Nice Monkey general internal subtitle must be in sync, if this not happen are video bad encoding/rip or player bug/problem.

Thanks pcristi points taken. :)
Specifically using the remote supplied is a handicap I overlooked (frankly use the pointer mouse myself for these type of things mostly).
Will see how easy it is to have multiple sources for external subtitles. If it looks at several places in parallel then adding country/regional sources does indeed help.
As this is on the way already, we will know soon if it is valid alternative

A little expansion to my request list:
8. A screensaver / dimmer for both the Android screen and the Himedia Player, with adjustable timer.
I guess many of the users here have already requested for this one way or another, but the more swallows, the more the chance for the spring...

Go to the media select panel and choose "All" next open the filebrowser and select the file you would like to delete. Now press the MENU button.
A window will show up with a Delete option. Confirm a few times and it is gone.

@Nice Monkey,
I don't get,if i start de native mediaplayer i go to my NFS share and select the files on my Synology nas.
If i select a file and open menu i only see the option to sort files by name,time etc.
I.m sorry but my English is not so good. :)
I hope you can help(again) ;)

Futeko admin, here you go 2 new features request for future firmwares:
- When playing a file, the option to switch between clock and current playback time on the front LED display. Also ability to dim the front display and, if not possible, to turn it off entirely for a comfortable watching (without distractions).
- Due to poor quality of Q5/Q10 Pro in upscaling (see this thread (http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1122.0)), ability to select in HiMedia player among several interpolation algorithms for video scaling (Lanczos, Nearest Neighbour, Bilinear, Bicubic...) There is no a 'perfect scaling method', so the user will pick the closest to its taste. Kodi's player (dvdplayer) already has this option built-in.

Bring back the notification icons on top of the screen or at least make its display user definable (ON/OFF) as we see fit.

Many ask about scraper, gallery, info and Art-work support for Media Center. It was already answered that the goal of Media center is to keep it plain and simple. Programs like KODI are just meant for this and are suggested to be used instead. Motion taken.
A nice compromise could be a simple interface with IMDB by an option to bring IMDB up with the actual title parsed which is highlighted within the file browser. This way a quick view can be done what the specific title has to offer. Programming it should be very easy. It all can be managed using the standard remote too. It also avoids cluttering the HDD content and won't impact performance with large to very large media collections.

- Due to poor quality of Q5/Q10 Pro in upscaling (see this thread (http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1122.0)), ability to select in HiMedia player among several interpolation algorithms for video scaling (Lanczos, Nearest Neighbour, Bilinear, Bicubic...) There is no a 'perfect scaling method', so the user will pick the closest to its taste. Kodi's player (dvdplayer) already has this option built-in.
I will pass this on, but it might be difficult to implement requiring work at the chipset level. Another way around this would be for there to be an option for Q10 Pro to output at source resolution, so 1080p content would output at 1080p when box set to 4K mode (as opposed to present where box upscales it to 4K). This has been requested before but I will request it again.

But hope option will be still available to upscale from 1080p to 2160p for those who prefer to do this?

My request would be to add a discrete ON and discrete OFF IR code. Right now I believe it is only a power toggle.
My Q10 PRO is an integral part of my home theatre setup and I use a Harmony remote to control it I'm sure like many others. Because I also use the box to share media and download content I like to leave it on for long periods of time.
With the standard power toggle on the remote turning 'on' an activity can inadvertently power off the device, which is a pain if I am in the middle of a background task.

A piece of stick-it put over the IR-receiver on the front panel will do the trick as a workaround. ;)

It would work if I wanted it on 100% of the time but really only about 40-50% of the time I would use it for background tasks. I can also set the Harmony remote to 'leave this device on between activities' as well but this would have the same effect as a 'sticky'. :P
The discrete command is a much cleaner way to integrate into a home theatre setup. I wonder how much work would it be to add these codes? And perhaps a wake-on-LAN functionality as well...

This would be much appreciated. I have my Q10 pro attached to a 4K Philips PUS9809 which provides excellent upscaling from 1080p.
One thing I've noticed when I let the Q10 do the scaling from 1080p to 2160p (60Hz) the audio is out of sync.
Changing the output back to 1080p/60Hz on the Q10 everything is fine.
So there seems to be some kind of mismatch occurring between audio and video during upscaling by the Q10.
Note: this is with 24p ON and latest firmware 1.07, Kodi+wrapper (all enhancements disabled or off).

Is this not the best option? You can then manually power off Q10 Pro (with harmony) whenever you have finished with downloading etc.?
I am keen to know how separate a Power "on" and "off" buttons will help you in keeping the Q10 Pro switched on after an activity, only when you need it to be? I have never had this option and requirement, so would like to learn..

Futeko admin,
- Due to poor quality of Q5/Q10 Pro in upscaling (see this thread (http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1122.0)), ability to select in HiMedia player among several interpolation algorithms for video scaling (Lanczos, Nearest Neighbour, Bilinear, Bicubic...) There is no a 'perfect scaling method', so the user will pick the closest to its taste. Kodi's player (dvdplayer) already has this option built-in.

This has been requested before but I will request it again.
The option to output at source resolution is fine and was the solution used by my old TVIX 6500A multimedia player. In addition, you still can let the user upscale with the current method if wanted, but a sharper method would be desireable.
And what do you think about this?
The 16-segment LED display of this machine is missed. Now with firmware 1.0.7 the display shows current playback time besides a clock (when player is stopped) but this display can show uppercase and lowercase letters and even some symbols (dots, commas, hyphens...) Non-printable symbols could be replaced by a blank space (like my old TVIX). So I think it would be a good idea to allow the following:
* When playing a file, switch among current playbacktime -> current file name (with scroll if name is too long) > clock by pressing repeatedly a button on the remote. Also show on display the currently selected file on HiMedia File Manager. I don't know if this could be possible on KODI, but my guess is this is not hard to achieve on the HiMedia native player.
* Also the option to turn off the (highly bright) display for a comfortable session (without distractions). This would be very appreciated among users.
Thank you very much.

Would be very nice specifically getting the file browser operational without turning on the TV. This with the goal to play/select music.
The front panel navigation would be used that way too.

Available already via Display options: LCD Display ON/OFF.

Ok, I didn't know, thanks. But I still think it would be nice the option to adjust display brightness among OFF -> LOW -> MEDIUM -> HIGH (or OFF -> LOW -> HIGH) . I don't know if firmware and/or display can support this though.

It is an option but certainly not the cleanest option. In my household there are several users across several zones. I need a set up that allows multiple activities to be used by multiple harmony remotes (2 hubs) with users who are not technically savvy. I have a set up that works very well 90% of the time meaning I rarely have to intervene or provide support.
All of my other equipment has discrete on and off settings which make designing activities easier. It is acceptable to me to have a device left on but not turned off which would impact the activity. With only a 'power toggle' setting, devices can get turned off between activities. I do like turning off devices when appropriate to save power and be 'green.'
If it was just me I wouldn't care that much because I understand the setup intimately. I think other forums call it the 'WAF' or wife-acceptance-factor. I hope this helps.
I think this device will be a reference-quality media player so it is reasonable to ask for this feature if it is technically possible to do.
-

Assuming Q10 Pro has separate "ON and "OFF" I am keen to know how you would design the activity(s) to switch "off" Q10 Pro only when you want to...
Thanks.

Would be very nice specifically getting the file browser operational without turning on the TV. This with the goal to play/select music.
The front panel navigation would be used that way too.
I see a problem for this nice feature. Which button of the remote do you think is the most suitable to switch display information? I think the remote is lacking in an "INFO" button for this feature... This might seem of little importance, but I think that if HiMedia do not find the way to use this feature, the feature will NOT be implemented. You cannot rely on onscreen menus if you want to use this machine as a music player with your TV powered off.
In this case, the feature could not be used when playing files with HiMedia player, only the print file name feature (with scroll) could be implemented when selecting files on HiMedia File Manager, because it does not require any button press.

Feature request:
Q 10 Pro with internal HDD.
Have a pop up/warning appear when connecting a USB cable to the back of Q10 Pro, since it will override access to the HDD.
If you don't know that, you might think that
a) your HDD does not work with Q10 Pro
b) SATA or HDD is defect
The question is if the software can even detect this. The actual switching is done by a Chip in HW. It probably simply uses the +5V detection (you can verify this connecting the USB cable to a 5V USB charger port). This chip is being used already since several generations of media players and most players with Internal HDD support use exactly the same chip. None known to me do report "Slave HDD Modus activated" or an equivalent message.

The Hicontrol Android app works very well for controlling Q5/Q10 Pro as a music player without turning on the TV.
As to remote buttons, the number buttons are hardly used so these could be mapped to new features.
I submitted a bug/feature request report to HiMedia yesterday regarding adding filename info to front display and suggested toggling info display via a remote number button.

Many thanks. Remember that it would be nice to have the following sequence: current playbacktime -> current file name (with scroll if name is too long) > clock. Scroll is important, because 6 characters are not enough to show full file names.
It will not be very intuitive, because users will have to remember the number button used for toggling information, but at least the feature (hopefully) will be implemented. I suggest the '0' or 'DEL' buttons.

Hello again!
This time as I had been spend some time with the Q10 Pro in general, and had a chance to figure out some of it's mechanism regarding practical and everyday usage. According KODI, I have came up with this request, that could be usefull for -guessing- a plenty of us (Tho' don't know if it's technically doable):
New feature Request :
When in KODI's GUI, it would be useful to have a dedicated button on the stock remote to switch (with one press, like in the case of "TV Mode") between the Wrapper's state. Like: First push: Himedia Player, Second Push: KODI. I came up with this while frequently browsing and changing IP TV channels (in KODI, with Simple IP TV Add-On), and found a bit unconfortable to always go through and press the Menu button->Play With->DVD Player every singular time if I wanted to select a new channel, if the Warapper in the Apps menu was set to Himedia Player. And also one wouldn't need allways to quit KODI to change back the Wrapper if he want's to get back to play some videos with the Himedia Player, and so on (the possible relevant occurrent cases are infinite). Also would be practical in the case of frequently changing the Player for the playback, when testing Videos, DVD's PQ, compatibility or searching for possible bugs amongst the two players. And also in the case of music file listening/testing.
Thank you! :)

Hello!
just got my Q5 yesterday and played around with it. One feature that definetly I am missing with the Himedia Player app (wrapper) is the possibility to set the audio offset /delay. For this reason I can't use it (and benefit of its features) as I have an older audio receiver without HDMI input - only optical.

Yes "remaining play time" is more informative for me too than "playing time".

In the main menu you can add shortcuts from apps, but it is not possible to remove icons from unwanted apps...Example Facebook, skype...etc. It will be nice if users can choice what shortcuts will appear on the main page.
Anyway this wishes are reviewed by Himedia or this is only a Santa Claus corner? :))

Hello,
It's been 2 weeks I'm using my new Q10 player and I must say it's a great multimedia player! :)
One feature that was present on my old Popcorn player that I would like to have on my Q10 :
When playing a video, if you press on your remote:
- the 0 button, you go to the beginning of the movie
- the 1 button, you go to 10% of the length of the movie
- the 2 button, you go to 20% of the length of the movie
- the 3 button, you go to 30% of the length of the movie
- etc...
The only problem for this is that the 7 button is already used to change the subtitles track and the 9 button is used to change audio track...
Too bad for the 70% and 90%, but could you implement this feature for the others buttons anyway?
Or maybe you could allow this only when the scrollbar is shown on screen? :-\
What do you think?
-
Also would be a nice feature:
As for changing the aspect aspect ratio: Yet, there is only one option you can try: Got to Settings->Playback, and there you can set the "Maintain Aspect Ratio" to eighter "Full screen" (strech to your TV's) or "Keep ratio" (leaves source aspect as it is). However it would be nice to have this feature also in Himedia Player's on-the fly menu, and change it during playback, so you don't have to always quit from KODI (or whatever browser GUI you use) and set it in the main Setting menu again, to fit the ratio depending on the source you wish to play next time. This would be a much confy solution, if one's have relatively lot of videos with different aspect ratios (like 1920x1080 vs 1080x800 vs 720 x576, 640x480 (4:3) or even lower SD 4:3 resolutions). And so it also would be also more practial sometimes this way, to switch while the picture is visible during playing the video, to see if the "Full Screen" setting suits the video's quality, or if the "streching" is tool much than set it easily back to it's default aspect ratio at any time, without always stopping the playback, quitting the media software (e.g. KODI) and head back to the Settings->Playback menu.
(This one feature request came in mind while answering to a question in an another Topic, but I guess it may was usefull to happen.)

Kind of solved in your thread about the problem. If you change Android default language to Hebrew then Hebrew subs display correctly. Or you can change subtitle font yourself as here: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1118.msg8680#msg8680

how about you guys add adaptive storage. 16gb of storage can only do so much, and with the HDD feature or a SD, i think the adaptive storage would be a great idea. These apps are getting bigger and bigger (especially games).

Hello!
1. After many months and fws past, I would like to remind you to a feature that was requested by many users and I guess reported as well to Himedia, but since there's still no sight of change, I would (have to) repeat again: Please remind Himedia to implement (at long last) a screensaver and/or dimmer option in HiPlayer (and for the Launcher as well). It would be a very mayor feature and a very basic expectation, the lack of this option is almost can be considered as a bug.
2. Reported some time ago, and also have been acknowledged by Futeko, that the 1.0.9 fw has returned the "constant gamma changing" bug in Imprex in HiPlayer, fixing this is also a key anticipation.
3. And secondary I would also reminder to my previously posted request regarding the subtitle character options: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=997.msg8560#msg8560 (http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=997.msg8560#msg8560) ->Points 1 and 2 would be the most anticipated. To make point 2 more distinct: I mean, that it would be nice if the characters would have an option to make them look like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hmsr97yf4i3jt5r/Subtitle.JPG?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/hmsr97yf4i3jt5r/Subtitle.JPG?dl=0).
4. And finally another bug fix request, also known, and probably reported to HM as well, but would be nice to have the launcher background options back (to work properly) in the upcoming firmwares.
I mean all of the above, for to be implemented both in the Android 5+ and the 7+ line of firmwares.
So these are all just for reminder, to emphasize their importance and to suggest to Futeko to do the same towards Himedia. With these fixed (and hopefully no other newer bugs introduced) in the next firmwares I would finally say, that I'm satisfied and have a "near-perfect media player"...
Thank you!

Hello!
(Confused a bit to rather write to the bug report topic, but this topic seams more "progressive".)
My current bugfix/feature request would be: The HiPlayer sometimes (actually very often) detects the Hungarian external subtitles encoding false (or fails to detect properly) on the "Auto" setting. That causes inappropriate/unreadable characters/letters with the accentuated Hungarian letters. So it sometimes needs to and takes a while to browse through the possibilities in the Encoding settings in the menu to find and set the proper encoding type manually. It varies between "Universal", "Eastern European", "Middle European" and "Western European" to hit the right encoding for different, but both Hungarian subtitles.
Can we wait a fix for this one?!
Thanks!

Feature request :
Could we have some prettier icons on the home screen, the large blue box with Kodi in it is pretty boring when compared to eg Abox III.
-
Ok, so would like to warm up this Thread with some request for basic video playback support, that lack the Q10 and Q5 Pro from the beginning.
Support for: 1080i (Scan type: interlaced or MBAFF) videos. These are usually 25fps or 29.97fps sources, that need also proper auto switching to either 50Hz or 59.94Hz. Along with proper deinterlacing. -> Which the HiMediaPlayer seemingly does not support at all.
There are many video sources out there with these interlaced type encoding, so it can be moderately accounted as a basic playback feature request.
Please report it to HiMedia, thank you!
