HDR aspect ratio problem.

It should be better if Himedia will focus on bugs insted of loosing time on useless features like the covers in media center.

You are right Grifone1893, and we are lots of people waiting for a moment

This new feature on a kodi-player is a joke. Kodi makes it better and with much more informations. Totally useless. If I need it I take the VLC-player app - there is the same. So maybe it's not new...hmm

Dear Mr. and Mss. Himedia, please, work on the HDR bug and make your player willing to play it smoothly.

Thx, murdge

I agree with much of the disappointment. I expected new Android 7 firmware with the key fixes this week.

My understanding of the situation is that HiMedia have a new SDK from HiSilicon which they expected to provide the fixes but that it hasn't lived up to expectations so it's gone back to HiSilicon for improvements.

The reason why the new Android 5.1 firmware has mainly superficial improvements like the new media browser is that the bugs people want fixing need fixing at chipset level, so need involvement from HiSilicon. I'm confident they'll get fixed, but it will just take longer.

[murdge]

Well, thats a real statement. Now we know they take care about the bugs.
So we can hopefull wait.

Thx, murdge

Would the aspect ratio bug only in Android 7 be fixed ore in Android 5 too?

[aleister]

both

How long do we have to wait?

Zidoo x10 is worst then q10, I hope in the next update. Perfect firmware don't exist.....

I have tested an Zappiti one HDR. No aspect ratio problems there. Its a very nice and fast Android box.

Realtek 1295. Same underlying bugs as Zidoo and Xtreamer. Also inferior PQ (in my opinion) to HiSilicon.

I'll wait still until the end of april for fix the bug.  Than I'll probably buy the Zappiti Duo 4K.

I've tried MX Player because someone wrote that can solve the hdr aspect ratio problem, but I need some help.
In fact the image is not strectched...it's cropped!
I have two big black stripes (much bigger than the usual black stripes) over and under the image which is squeezed.
There are some settings I need to adjust?
(I have already tried every aspect ratio available in the app)
Thx

I wrote this.  I think two big black stripes are normal. Because the aspect ratio is only 3840x1600 (for example, Lucy, but in original UHD it is 2160). Maybe try a film with more vertikal resolution.

[Grifone1893]

I don't think so.
I've tried the same movie (same mkv)  using the player of my LG Oled tv and the aspect ratio is correct with the usual black stripes sizes.
