Wrapper issue

[pele]

Hi,

I have a strange issue with the external wrapper of my himedia q10 pro.

Kodi Version 17.4 RV
android 7.0
build hmd-2.0.1 2017-01-10.164949

If i start kodi and play a movie with the external player nothing is happening.
If i play a movie via mediacenter, shortcut to my nas, click on the same *.mkv file it plays with the external videoplayer

Anymone what goes wrong and how to solve the issue in Kodi?

No one knows?

Re-install the wrapper.  If MediaCenter plays fine, it is the wrapper not working right for you.
There are quite a few threads here about the wrapper.  Start with the FAQ.

I'd suggest upgrading to 2.0.4 and that may fix your problems as it gives new wrapper as well.

1. re-installed the wrapper version 1.0.1_hmd_1229_release ==> no difference
2. upgraded first to 2.0.3 FUTEKO. HMD-2.0.3 2017-04-12.095905
3. upgraded to 2.0.4 FUTEKO. HMD-2.0.4 2017-07-05.174159
4. Updated kodi from 17.1 (came with the version 2.0.4.) to 17.3 (via play store)

Problem still the same...

Via mediacenter movie plays with videoplayer
Via kodi nothing happens

anyone can help me out here.

Thanks in advance,
Bianca

The version of the wrapper you're using is old and not meant for Android 7. Where did you get it from?

This is latest 1.0.3 wrapper for Android 7: http://www.mediafire.com/file/0h22goov27x9bk6/Wrapper-1.0.3_HMD_0411.apk

sorry i forgot to write :

also the latest wrapper is installed :  xbmcwrapper_1.0.3_HMD_0411_Release, Got it from www.mediafire.com/?kvlryqpyzcac3.
Is that a wrong version?

Hello Futeko,

Can we have the same Himedia Wrapper from the original 2.04 firmware. WE d'ont have the same setting with this Wrapper-1.0.3_HMD_0411.apk !
With the last PcRisti CS 2.04 firmware version we lost the original warrper with the new sets with lot of information with the wrapper. Thanks

The version I linked to is extracted from 2.0.4 official firmware:

It is the correct version. It should work.

I suggest clearing data for both wrapper and Kodi (will wipe Kodi settings) then toggling wrapper off/on in wrapper app.

Settings - More - Apps - find 'Wrapper' and 'Kodi' - Force stop > Storage clear data > Storage clear cache.

1. froced stopped wrapper and cleared data (clear cache is done automatically)
2. forced stopped kodi and cleared data (clear cache is done automatically)
3. started wrapper again
4. played movie through media center it works and i see on my display of the receiver dts and it how shows that 5 speakers are active
5. played movie through kodi by play using:  what is see is then 4 rows:

wrapper (default)
Wrapper
Videoplayer
Videoplayer

If i choose the first row : wrapper (default) i see only videoplayer and nothing happens
clicking on the return key on the remote i got the message : external player active

If i use the videoplayer i see on my receiver display : PCM and it shows only 2 speakers are active

Can you post the content of /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/playercorefactory.xml?

Easiest method using a PC:

- Enable Samba sharing on Q5/Q10 Pro (Settings - More - SAMBA Service - Enable)
- Navigate to Q5/Q10 Pro on a PC and then to /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/playercorefactory.xml

How are you doing the firmware reinstalls? via system menu or restore button on back of Q10 Pro?

If not restore button method then give that a go with 2.0.4 FW.

If that doesn't work then you could try going back to 2.0.1. 2.0.1 is the last FW to re-partition and format the Q10 Pro during firmware install process. If 2.0.1 works OK then update through 2.0.3 to 2.0.4.

It's basically impossible that your box has a hardware fault that results in only the wrapper malfunctioning, so there must be a config problem lurking in the background.

i updated the box  using the pinhole UPGRADE button on the back.

It is working again:
Running versions now:
2.0.1 FUTEKO. HMD-2.0.1 2017-01-10.164949
kodi 17.0 RC2
Wrapper-1.0.1_HMD_1229_Release

Which order should i update and what?

I'm also confused about my sound/av receiver:

Playing with himediaplayer i see info of sound and active speaker of my av receiver (see pic 1)
Playing with videoplayer is see info sound and active speaker of my av receiver (see pic2)

What is the difference exactly?
