Mr.Futeko,
i want to discuss about video quality for hevc x265 10bits .mkv. (i pick 4nos of movies for the test)
1. i had done stage 1 and 2 = installation fine android 7 fw 2.0. Video playback quality = pixels "breaking up" on and off
2. i did factory reset, then downgraded android 7 fw 2.0 to android 5.1.1 fw 1.0.8 . Video playback quality = stutter instead of pixels breaking at the same video scenes.
3. i repeat step 1 = problems still the same.
However, when i played those video files (x265 10bits) at my laptop with media player classic+K lite codec, everything is Perfect.
My opinion, i think my Q5Pro need a good codec. i just google, there is a k-lite codec apk for android. i plan to try this.
How about the rest of you guys?? any similar problem???
In my experience Q5/Q10 Pro play pretty much anything without a problem. I don't get stutter or pixellation, even at 250+mbps.
Can you point me to samples for download that demonstrate the problem?
Ok last weekend i did my own experiments, i found that my Q5pro problems actually started when i upgraded my Firmware to 1.0.8
after i done few RESET as below cases:
Case 1 : Upgraded from android 5.1.1 fw1.0.8 to Nougat 7 fw2.0.0 = results video Pixelation problem, grey screen (random scenes) with video HEVC X265 10bits. For AVC X264 is OK, no issue. AAC 7.1 is working!
Case 2 : Downgraded from Nougat 7 2.0.0 back to 5.1.1 fw1.0.8 = results video stutter problem causes video and audio out of sync(random scenes) with video HEVC X265 10bits. For AVC X264 is OK, no issue. But ACC 7.1 is NOT working.
Case 3: At Android 5.1.1, downgraded FW1.0.8 to FW1.0,5. And then from 1.0.5 upgraded to 1.0.7 = Issues Resolved! No more stutter,pixelation,or grey screen. But cannot play/ get AAC 7.1 sound anymore.
Case 4: At Android 5.1.1, downgraded FW1.0.8 to FW1.0,5. And then from 1.0.5 upgraded to 1.0.7 then upgrade back to 1.0.8= results video stutter problem causes video and audio out of sync(random scenes) with video HEVC X265 10bits. For AVC X264 is OK, no issue. AAC 7.1 not working.
So now, my setup of my Himedia Q5Pro as per Case 3 which i have no more issues on the video quality. Except i cannot get AAC7.1 sound. It will be great if you (Himedia team) can work on this matter and solve the issue in next Firmware update.
And what is your opinion, whether i can skip 1.0.8 in the next FW update? Meaning from fw1.0.7, upgrade to latest version (when its available) by skip 1.0.8??
