Experiences Kodi 17 on Q5/Q10 Pro?

Playback of any add-ons on Kodi 17 internal player is too choppy unplayable

[vertigo]

Today I updated Kodi to the official version 17.0, date February 1, as it indicates it is now the official Kodi 17, but still audio pass through doesn't work natively with Kodi's internal player, it still has to be done via wrapper.

Does anyone know if it works with optical audio out? I can probably live with another cable, but I cant live with a choice between subs and 5.1 audio.

Audio pass through doesn't work on Windows10 too (at least to me).

Trailers (when pressing menu on an movie) dont work any more. Nothing happens.

Using "shitty" test-builds to get DD/DTS passthrough working, disable only "Mediacodec (surface)", install [PATCH] Auto framerate switching - KODI ADDON, for me YouTube / Plex add-on working proper.

Just some thoughts on Kodi 17 here...

Recently I decided to give it a try on Kodi 17 RC, backup my kodi 16.1 stuffs but the backup are not working well. All the addons will still need to uninstall and re-add again. I also try on some of the repo I usually use like super repo but most of the addon there are not working too. I like some of the subtitle service addon from the repo as it can provide subtitle for streaming content.

For the stuttering issues, I also encounter that when I try to stream some contents from some video addon. Will currently stay on Kodi 16.1 first until there are a more stable release of Kodi 17.

Yes shuttering video playback is a no go on Kodi 17

Surprisingly this is only himedia Q10 problem...I have Zidoo X9s and Kodi 17 video doesn't shutter at all in it

Too bad a box with so much reputation cannot fix this issue which is basic video playback

Audio passthrough is another issue but video shutter is a showstopper

Futeko pls do something and fix it asap

There is no point spending so much money on hiend media box which can't even play video properly let alone audio passthrough

Where other boxes are working fine

Noooo.

I have just ordered a q10 pro to replace a minix u1 that lost hardware acceleration due to the s905 processor so some hd over the air media was choppy on kodi 17... I also wanted android n for the native multi window

So I have just forked out extra cash for something I thought was going to be a step up... Sure hope this is fixed otherwise it wont be suitable for use.

If you use the wrapper then there should be no issues with audio pass through and video play back, further more , if you use HiMedia media center then audio and video playback are really excellent. For me that is the MAIN thing when I brought this device, seeing my movies and videos and audio files in the best quality possible , meaning 4K, HDR, DTS-HD, DOLBY TRUE HD ,. ATMOS etc.
For me having problems with some KODI addons is not really a big issue, if they fix it , great, a nice to have thing, if not  I wlll still love this device and have no regrets to have bought it.

I totally agree  ! The Himedia Q10 is an excellent piece of hardware, let down by amateurish software. When I buy a television, blue-ray player, satellite receiver, sound base, ... I expect it to work 'out of the box' without having to apply countless patches and workarounds  !!!

Hi all, I'm facing audio passthrough problem after upgrading to Kodi 17 and I tried to find for solution but with no success.

The problem I'm facing is if I enabled "Allow Passthrough" and play video (streaming only) which has DD or DTS soundtrack, it just showed black screen with no sound (but I noticed the video is running). I got no problem if playing local or network files.

I have done the following:

1) Disable "Sync Playback to Display"
2) Select Wrapper

For example, if I'm playing video from **, any videos with DD or DTS soundtrack, I'll got the above problem. If the video contains 2 channels (which I think) soundtrack, then it is fine.

Please take note, I have no problem playing either 720p or 1080p source (very smooth) as long the video audio source is not DD or DTS.

But all not working....fyi, it was working fine when I was in Kodi 16.1.

Can anyone please help?

Yes I would be interested to know also.

People are quick to come and say "fine here" "no issues here" but as we know out of the box it does not work.  So it would be helpful if you shared with people what needed to be changed...
