I hope this fix comes soon. I have retried the player 3 times now on different movies and it is unusable in its current state for me. No movie has played back without this issue.

It will be fixed in next firmware. HiMedia have a beta with the problem fixed (perfect match fps to output hz) for nearly all formats.

Sorry but I don't know. If I had to guess I'd say end August.

Thanks from me also. Please note I am not bashing the player, besides this issue it is very good.

Thanks. A very good thing about HiMedia above all other Chinese media player brands is that they will fix things.

That's good news, I know many people who want to buy a Q10 Pro, but only when this problem is soon fixed!

The next European/international firmware (after 1.0.6) will fix this. The 23.976 problem is caused by a mismatch between the fps reported by himediaplayer and the output via HDMI. It has been fixed already in private beta.

Multiple references to 'next firmware' at different times on the forum are probably confusing, but this has been the plan since before 1.0.5.

HiMedia told me last week this new firmware might be this week. I would realistically expect end of this week at earliest, more likely early next.

Thanks futeko,

Anyone care to test?

@futeko, firstly thanks for your efforts!

But there are still two possible bugs:


1. FrcInRate             :47.94        |FrcOutRate            :23.97

If decoder works with stream 23.970 then every ~166 sec will microfreeze.

2. From "Picture Information":
FieldMode                           : Frame
Type                                : Interlace

But source is progressive. Possible player does not correctly determine it and makes deinterlace progressive video. This is indirectly confirmed by doubling FrcInRate.

And can't interpret FrameRate(fps)                      : Real(23.99) FrameInfo(23976)
Why Real(23.99)?
