Q10 PRO FIRMWARE. 1.0.7-FUTEKO-EN. HMD-1.0.7 2016-08-10.190824

[Mount81]

FPS display was only a feature of the beta himediaplayer app, never official 1.6.

Ultimately, it might have looked like a good feature but all it was doing was reporting what himediaplayer thought fps was. In the case of FW 1.0.6 and earlier this would have correctly reported FPS but still HDMI Hz output was incorrect. The best way to determine what fps is being output is through the info display of your TV / projector.

Agreed, but still it is nice to also indicate the frame rate. When in doubt one may look for the remote of TV/AMP and find again where the info is to be found (not always that easy and not always correct (confusing 24P and 24P/1001 is common there also).

After all what is against including it? In my view absolutely nothing! So I suggest to carry it over from the Chine FW 1.07 with the next update.

I must agree with the part that it would be nice to have it right under one's fingertip on the remote and showing the video fps in Himedia Player Info line. Also along with the video's color format information (if this is even possible somehow, in the case I don't missunderstood something). Just even for the sake of correct comparition with the current state displayed with the TV Info button (to filter possible bugs), but nevertheless also...

More mean topic would be the "Black area ghosting" issue, which I will test today with the new firmware., hope it had been fixed, and will report results... (Maybe we would need some commonly reachable test sample video for this, with attributes (such as lots of dark/black space on screen, with moving lighter areas/objects) relevant to the problem... Any known link suggestions would be welcomed...)

Can we install beta Himediaplayer on 1.0.7?

No reason for that. It is all included in new FW 1.07 already. See the changelist.

Could the members reporting the "black ghosting" problem if it is fixed again?
Was reported as solved with FW 1.0.3 but came back with FW 1.0.5/1.0.6 apparently.

FPS display,maybe?

The beta version of himediaplayer installs and runs fine on 1.0.7. Just download the apk and install it like any other.

There's no advantage to it though besides the fps display.

I will ask HiMedia to include fps display (and as much info as possible, perhaps via a remote keypress) in next firmware.

I will test tonight when I get home from office and let you know if ghosting is fixed.

it was not fixed with the beta 1.0.7, cross our fingers.

Did a Beta evaluation for External subtitles in close contact with pcristi and this has not changed in the official FW1.0.7 unfortunately. Had hope it would have.

A) Current external subtitle files for specifically DVD are not found anymore. This is valid for both ISO's and Folders. It now looks only for these in the new location aparently.  Copying my own external subs to the new central location on internal SD-Card following the new folder  name convention had them found again. This is a very clumsy workaround.

B) External subtitles for BD are still found and work as before.

C) Subtitles for MKV are not just found but are reported with the corresponding Language. Using the standard convention for a movie called "mymovie" with an external sub called "mymovie.ENG.srt" results in  an external sub to be detected as "ENG Exnternal srt".  This is a requested feature amongst others by myself.

So existing external subtitles are handled different now depending on the type: DVD (NOT supported anymore), BD (supported as before) and MKV (improved with language indication).  Did not test other formats as I don't use any of those.  The new Internet downloaded subs (only English) worked for all types. For me personally not a real improvement yet as I have plenty DVD's with Dutch and Spanish subtitles. But overall with a good potential.

+ Ghosting gone
+ Swaps to correct frame rate
+ pq looks great
+ no judders

- no longer gives option to continue or restart video. Now just resumes from where stopped

All in all this is what I have been waiting for.  Now a good box and hopefully an a- or a on kodi forums

Hello PJDavis1970

Please post witch video output you test it 2160p or 1080p.
Anyone can  test DVD NTSC video output 1080p is playing with corect audio sync.

No out of sync. All seems ideal.

[HereIsTom]

Is there also an OTA for this version?

[hdmkv]

Anyone have link to pcristi's fps in/out tool?

@hdmkv,

Anyone have link to pcristi's fps in/out tool?

It is there - http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1086.0

Thanks... off to test, for now namely 2D MKV (full rip), 2D MKV (re-encoded, something like 1920x800), 3D ISO, and finally 29.970.

Update: Impressions posted here.

For 23.97 versus 47.94 I have 2 observations:
- 3D movies (at least with an original BD as a source) should use and report a frame-rate of 47.94 which is 23.97 fps for Left and Right eye respectively. The overall display rate is 23.97 for full pictures and popularity wise referred to as 24P. This is also the bandwidth it needs (=double 2D). A TV with Active 3D (shutter Glasses) will also display it with double rate.
- Telecine recordings straight from a cinema projector will use 47.94 also as projectors display each frame twice. A good editing program should re-mux it at half the rate, deleting all duplicates. No idea if this occurs or not in practice (never use these sources).

I do expect this is dealt with correctly in the observations.
