[PATCH] More auto framerate switching - HIMEDIAPLAYER

[Mount81]

xalaros:

To the first part: If you set 4K and play 1080p (or under) videos, than the output resolution should stay at 4K. If you set 1080p and play 4K videos than it should be 1080p output. If you set 1080p and play 720p it should be also 1080p output. That's normal. No other media players can do auto resolution switching.

Advise: set if to 4K for 4K sources and set if to 1080p for FHD and under sources.

The problematic part: Check your TV settings or the HDMI cable, because it's not normal as you described. Or maybe a fresh firmware reinstall could help.
Or try to set to "simple" 4:2:2, and see if it works.

Thanks for the reply, i tried the 422 and it seems to be fine so it was the switching between the 444 10bit and 422 8bit that was creating the issue probably, i will try to stay away from buying a new a/v receiver but i keep going back to the website of pioneer and onkyo for some reason lately
i figured i will switch the resolution between 4k and 1080p manually since  i found that playing 4k content with 4k resolution and 4228bit PQ seems a bit better.
Last question is there any way to set a shortcut to the 2 resolutions i need on the remote instead of having to press tv-mode key multiple times to get the correct one???

Hello everybody.
Q10 pro, Android 7, CFW2.0.4 here.
I initially uninstalled this patch because was giving unintentional movie pauses at beginning of movie.
Then I changed my mind hoping for the best behavior.
So, I reinstalled for a second time this patch, BUT it is inducing again the same abnormal behavior...
When video is starting, mediaplayer receives something similar to a "Pause" command, because the image of file info/details and commands (pause, forward, rewind) appears on screen, TWICE in an interval of several GOOD seconds, and then the movie pauses.
This takes many good seconds after which the movie playback resumes normally.
I uninstalled this patch again waiting for normal behavior.
I hope I am not the one doing anything out of the ordinary... am I?

@mihailuican
I think your box is direct connect to TV and switch fast resolution . "Pause" is intend many AVR special Denon are switching slow and TV/Projector need 4-5 seconds to display image. You can adjust sleep time in line 71 from autoFMTswitch.sh or keep just "$dispmsp setfmt $setfmt " by edit on notepadd++.

Anyone are welcome to optimize scripts for him self and share with as a better and improved version.

@PCristi.
Thank you for your kind answer and development work.
I uninstalled it since (reading in the dedicated forum link and RED RECOMMENDATION OF FUTEKO) it is INTENDED FOR INTERNAL KODI PLAYER ONLY.
I am using Kodi+Wrapper and thus I do not need it.
Thank you, again.

This  [PATCH] is not for internal KODI player are for HIMEDIAPLAYER including Kodi+Wrapper like topic title said, but for many users not need it.
Probably too many times use [PATCH] word on this forum and you get confuse with this one [PATCH] Auto framerate switching - KODI.
Have a nice day.

@PCristi - Thank you,
I edited the file and at line 71 left only "$dispmsp setfmt $setfmt".
I will let you all guys@gals know what change in behaviour this will bring.
Cheers everybody.

Later edit: I discovered issues with the edited version too. First film was OK. The second started with several pauses, black screen, I had to press repeatedly play button... I finally uninstalled the  patch and everything's back to normal. Cheers.

With 59.940fps Movies, with Patch the output Framerate is 30hz  and not 60hz?
 
This Trailer does the same
http://4kmedia.org/samsung-7-wonders-of-the-world-italy-uhd-4k-demo/

Doenst matter which Colorspace or fps  is set the Q10

Framerate Adaption is off (same with on)

FW is 2.04

Should be 60hz ?

[pcristi]

What is video output before to start play 2160/60 or 2160/50?

What is video output before to start play 2160/60 or 2160/50?

I have my q10 at 2160p 24hz ycbcr 444 10bit HDR10
Also tested with 2610p 50 or 60 (444 8bit)

At 2160p 60hz the Patch sets it to down to 30 from 59.940

And the FW Framerate Adaption itself does nothing on 59.940 Sources

[aleister]

Ok Thanks

[pcristi]

Now script play 59.940fps to 29.97Hz  for 2160p video output.
59.940fps to 60Hz not correct is cause frame drops, don't use this script and set HiMedia 24Hz ON, if you need like that.

Any idea?

Thanks..

Hello!

This post is regarding the correct DVD 25->50/30->60Hz switching on the official 2.0.4 fw. Some have reported (on another Forum), that even without installing this patch, when they play 25fps DVD's with HiPlayer, they've got 50Hz displayed on the TV's info bar. How this could be possible?! As far as I know the correct DVD Hz switching still isn't solved even on 2.0.4 fw. And this -presumably-  indicates that somehow the correct switching happens even so. ? :

Any thoughts or explanations on this, please?! (Would be great if others also would try if it works or not this way).

Maybe those user's TVs don't support 25fps and play it at 50Hz?
