Replace HiMedia Player with MX Player completely

[Fa.Ch]

Just finished installing MX Player and launched it.

Sony_4K_HDR_Camp played perfectly and TV Switched to HDR automatically.

Player setted to 2160p60Hz / YcBcR420 10Bits

Video was perfectly smooth

No need to install codecs

First post updated with Fa.Ch's findings.

Playback via Total Commander + SMB with subtitles is perfect so far but I need someone to test SMB playback via Kodi with subtitles because my Q5 box keep refusing to work properly with SMB for me.

Please try with HiMedia 24Hz ON, see if at least for 23.976fps is work.

Auto framerate switching not implemented (but still got smooth, shuttering free playback)

I'm using it with 24Hz On and I play several 23.976fps material with it.
I don't see any shuttering with FPS_test_1080p23.976_L4.1.mkv (3 white bars moving from left to right) and with Judder_Test_BD_3 (Cypheros HDTV Testbild) 23.976fps testfile. Also tested 59.940fps and it's looks good as well.

Bump

Since there is no fix for the subtitle problem in the 2.0.1 fw I suggest to sticky this thread or at least include it in the Q5/Q10 Pro FAQ thread till HiMedia fixes the subtitle bug in their player.

I would like to use this way of using MXplayer but I get all the time connection refused. NFS on Qnap NAS is setup properly, suspect android 7 latest firmware issue? Any progress for a SMB solution?

Did you tried pcristi's / Looun's Auto_Mount_ShortCut patch? It can create NFS/SMB mount points to your device, so you can browse the shares with Kodi via the device's local folders. Pretty handy stuff. If the patch doesn't work for you, I can suggest some modification in it that might help (I got some issues with it myself).

Hi Eriol,
I tried the easy way ,after executing tbe bat file the player reboots but no mountpoints. Then the more difficult way, execute script try_mount but access denied, also after changing paths and parameters as described in that post, stripping the command line to the most exential commands. Try later again, maby kodi17 final version has better support for this. I can start MXplayer when browsing to my (smb) shares with for instance X-plorer. Keep with himedia player, when subs are badly I rip them out with MKVExtractGUI2. External subs no problem.
Overall I am very satisfied with this flexible player (Q10 Pro).

There is an install-recovery.sh named file in the patch. You need to edit the 21st line to sleep 20; so it will look like this:

Code: [Select]

#!/system/bin/sh

# mountShortCut.sh ver. 1.1.1
# make busybox symlink if not exist

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -e message start -n com.rja.utility/.ShowToast
if [ ! -e /system/bin/cut ];
then
  mount -o remount,rw /system
  ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/cut
  sync
  mount -o remount,ro /system
fi
# set max. waiting for arp 60 seconds
p=60
# set start mountpoints
mpsmb=1
mpnfs=0
while  [ $p -ne 0 ];
do
sleep 20;
p=$(( p-1 ))
  if [ "`busybox arp | grep on -c`" != "0" ];
  then
   # define path mountShortCut.txt
   filename="/sdcard/mountShortCut.txt"
/system/xbin/sqlite3 /data/data/com.himedia.lan/databases/finalserver.db 'select * from samba' > $filename
/system/xbin/sqlite3 /data/data/com.himedia.nfs/databases/finalserver.db 'select * from nfsclient' >> $filename
   # loop of all rows
   while IFS='' read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do
var_prtc=`echo $line | cut -d "|" -f1`
var_ip=`echo $line | cut -d "|" -f2`
var_name=`echo $line | cut -d "|" -f3`
var_path=`echo $line | cut -d "|" -f4`

if [ "`echo $var_path | grep / -c`" != "0" ];
then
  var_prtc=nfs
  var_user=''
  var_psw=''
  var_folder=nfs_share$mpnfs
  mnt_path=/mnt
  mpnfs=$(( mpnfs+1 ))
else
  var_prtc=smb
  var_user=`echo $line | cut -d "|" -f5`
  var_psw=`echo $line | cut -d "|" -f6`
  var_folder=mountpoint_0$mpsmb
  mnt_path=/mnt
  mpsmb=$(( mpsmb+1 ))
fi

   if [ "`busybox ping -c 1 -W 1 $var_ip | grep ms -c`" != "0" ];
   then
if [ $var_prtc == "smb" ];
then
# mkdir -p $mnt_path/$var_prtc/$var_folder
# busybox mount -t cifs -o user=$var_user,password=$var_psw,cache=loose //$var_ip/$var_path  $mnt_path/$var_prtc/$var_folder
mkdir -p /mnt/sdcard/$var_name/$var_path
busybox mount -t cifs -o user=$var_user,password=$var_psw,cache=loose //$var_ip/$var_path  /mnt/sdcard/$var_name/$var_path
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -e message "$var_name/$var_path: $var_prtc://$var_ip/$var_path"  -n com.rja.utility/.ShowToast
else
mkdir -p $mnt_path/$var_prtc"Share"/$var_folder
busybox mount -t nfs -o nolock,tcp $var_ip:$var_path $mnt_path/$var_prtc"Share"/$var_folder
fi
   fi

   # end loop
   done < "$filename"
  p=0
 fi
done

rm -f $filename

Btw how familiar are you with ADB and/or linux commands?

What player do you use? Himedia Player (Wrapper), Kodi's DVDPlayer or MX Player?

[Henry_NL]

Hi Eriol, i am more familar with msdos, vbscript, powershell, say the windows stuff. Little with linux and also adb but that can be found. I gave a try on the modified sh but not working. I tried the http://www.android-mediaplayer.de/index.php/Thread/3325-Tool-New-Auto-Mount-Multimedia-shared-folder-EASY-version-Himedia-V200-pro/ from loun. I executed this with one share on my nas (Video). Checking this on the q10 with the mount command in terminal emulator showed 2 new mountpoints for Video, one smb and one cifs but the directory path to the smb dir on the internal flash memory is wrong, I think based on android 5.11. I will correct this in the .sh file and try again.

[Eriol]

You can try mounting based on this (replace capital):

Code: [Select]

adb connect IP:5555
adb root
adb remount

adb shell mkdir -p /sdcard/PATH
adb shell chmod 0777 /sdcard/PATH
adb shell mount -t cifs -o user="USER",password=PWD,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,cache=loose //SERVER/SHARE

adb shell mkdir -p /mnt/nfsShare/PATH
adb shell chmod 0777 /mnt/nfsShare
adb shell chmod 0777 /mnt/nfsShare/PATH
adb shell busybox mount -t nfs -o nolock,tcp SERVER:/NFS_SHARE /mnt/nfsShare/PATH

[Henry_NL]

Eriol,
I am on android 7 latest firmware with my Q10, my movies are stored on a NAS. When I execute this command:
adb shell busybox mount -t cifs -o user="guest",iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,cache=loose //192.168.1.5/Video /sdcard/mountpoints/NASvideo
I get 2 mountpoints
1 - //192.168.1.5/Video on /storage/emulated/0/mountpoints/NASvideo type cifs (rw, etc etc etc
2 - //192.168.1.5/Video on /mnt/runtime/default/emulated/0/mountpoints/NASvideo type cifs (rw, etc etc etc
Both mountpoints are not accessable throug X-plore or through Kodi, in no way. I expected this once as a mount point:
//192.168.1.5/Video on /mnt/sdcard/mountpoints/NASvideo type cifs (rw, etc etc etc
Seems that mounting to SDcard directory gets screwed up, don't know why so I tried something different.

adb shell busybox mount -t cifs -o user="guest",iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,cache=loose //192.168.1.5/Video /mnt/media_rw/sda1/mountpoints/NASvideo
this points to my internal hard drive. Mount result:
//192.168.1.5/Video on /mnt/media_rw/sda1/mountpoints/NASvideo type cifs (rw, etc etc etc
That looks better and it works, I can browse this path in X-plore and Kodi.

So I tried this to be independend of my harddrive:
adb shell mkdir -p /mnt/media_rw/MPvideo
adb shell chmod 0777 /mnt/media_rw/MPvideo
adb shell busybox mount -t cifs -o user="guest",iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,cache=loose //192.168.1.5/Video /mnt/media_rw/MPvideo
Result mount command:
//192.168.1.5/Video on /mnt/media_rw/MPvideo type cifs (rw, etc etc etc
Looks good, and also accessable. So I copied your modified playercorefactory.xml to the kodi dir, added the mountpoint in kodi as a location for video files and YES finaly I get MXplayerfree to work from kodi.

Well, after reboot this is all gone but I will look into the posted Auto_Mount_Multimedia_2_Q10_v0.2.rar and change install-recovery.sh to the correct directory (notepad++). That will be a job for the weekend, have to think about a one time setup directory structure for me (somethink like /mnt/media_rw/mountpoints/ and all others in that one).

Thanks for your help pointing me to get more knowledge of adb and some linux commands.
