[PATCH] More auto framerate switching - HIMEDIAPLAYER

[razorback]

@mount81
the CFW-Option for the Oppo is no option at all.
paying money for a piece of software which does not allow you to revert back to any original firmware if something goes wrong is just a no-go!
To brick a box as costly as the Oppo is too much a risk for a feature already perfectly accomplished by the Q5Pro.

Will this patch work for less reoslution than 1080p?
eg. for 720p or 576p will it change 25 to 50  and 30 to 60?

i have a serious problem with 59,94fps movies. Sometimes the autoframerate works and dipslays the movie as 24p(i guess it is interlaced) and more frequently it changes to 60hz and the audio is 5 seconds behind!I have the lataest framerate and 2.0.5 firmware.

Look like you are taking about NTSC DVD please try Kodi and Auto framerate switching for KODI to get better play.
HiMediaVideoPlayer is rely mess DVD format start with v2.0.3 firmware.

[granger13]

Thank you.
I do not want to use kodi.If i drop below 2.0.3 firwmare will the problem be fixed?if so how can i downgrade?Maybe  the custom firmware will solve my problems?

Also i cannot use kodi because all my movies have '#' symbols and they cannot be played......! i cannot rename them because the folders are being used by other media players in other rooms and also  i cannot rename 800 titles...!

As you can see i cannot play neither kodi at all, and a 30% of my movies are dvd ntsc and cannot play them with himedia player.....it is frustrating!

[granger13]

For the record i just tested 1.3.2 framerate.The problem with 59,94 fps movies remains the same .audio totally out of sync and now it pauses every 2 seconds.

So, please inform me if a different firmware (eg below 2.0.3) will solve the problem or i must return or the sell the media player.....

Thank you

What are your box output resolution/deep color/color space settings?
What is format of file witch you playing? I can't continue to guessing.

Anyway if you play NTSC DVD this script will not help you. Try to play NTSC DVD with HiMedia 24p OFF and with AFR possible to get audio on sync.

[granger13]

thank you pcristi for your answers.
i installed custom 2.0.7 with afr and for now they play fine.Hope thats solved.
the problem with kodi persists, cannot play any file from nfs or smb with wrapper.is the # letters the problem?can it be solved?
also smb in media centre says network error.(smb on kodi reads the files,and i have no password on smb).thanks again

I have a question about the benefit to double the frame rate (eg. from 25 to 50) if the TV I have has the frame interpolation activated.
If the mediaplayer sends at 25 frames/sec. the TV creates frames to "fluidify" the stream but if the TV receives 50 frames/sec. I should lose this feature.
Is it correct?

I don't know much about how your TV works, I simply write here my own experience: tested with SD DVD 25fps interlaced video and the "motion resolution" (Quality) was much better on 50Hz, than with 25Hz. Simply set it manually and test it by your self.  My TV also has interpolation, but I guess this doesn't justify for the loss of every second frame the player drops because of the half fps. With 50Hz output it will display all the 50 "real frames" and not just the half of it. Much more fluid motion is the result.

But with 1080p MAFB interlaced videos (these are just partially interlaced) I didn't detected any difference between 25 and 50Hz in the motion resolution. Maybe these were just exceptions in some way.

And I also din't detected any PQ loss on 25Hz, I guess the player does the correct deinterlacing nevertheless even on 25Hz.

(I don't use the patch BTW, I always set 50Hz manually before playback.)

Good evening
I'm using the cfw 2.0.4, and I've just installed the auto framerate switching 1.1.4 and when I launch a file, it stops.
To restore normal operation I had to uninstall the patch, I ask if there are any problems with this firmware version.

Thank you

Hi everybody,
here too whenever any video starts, it pauses, stops and eventually plays after that, thing to which I got accustomed in the end.
My problem is that AFTER the file ends, either at the very end and auto-stop (one single play mode), OR if I play "Back" repeatedly (2 times) the video playback DOES NOT STOP...  It starts replaying the same file , or plays another random file, in a weird loop... Sometimes I manage to fully stop by repeatedly pressing (many times) Back button, sometimes I have to power down the whole player.
Does any of you have the same issues? I am on official 2.0.8 but this always happened to me, regardless if on official or custom firmware.
Solution - if I remove the patch this weird behavior stops and playback/stop are prompt ans smooth again.
So I removed it, permanently until I find a solution.

@mihailuican

AFR script not need for majority of users, HiMedia implementation of 24Hz ON fit a general usage.
Thanks for reporting your rely bad situation with scripts going wrong loop, will see how to add limit times of switching.

Opening post updated to reflect new 1.3.8 version with auto resolution switching. Instructions and usage guide re-written.

All feedback welcome regarding the patch itself and improvements to usage instructions.

Massive thanks to pcristi for writing the script.
