Q5 4K3D. 18-SEP-2015. FIRMWARE HMD-3.0.1.1 FUTEKO-EN

[airsoft]

Hi futeko.com,

about the new version 3.0.1

Why Media Center has a input box for username and password, but still they cannot be used?
Is it planned such feature or not?
I did analysis with tcpdump/wireshark to my storage (win7 64bit) and got this: the player even didn't tried to access the sharing?

Regards

Hi, i have read that it is possible to update my Q5 without loosing my settings (try without reset - just copy update.zip to root folder of flash and then local upgrade
I do this every time and my settings are not lost.
If something doesn't work then you can reset the box via two menus for reset:
1) standard Android one 2) from the settings of Himedia)
If so, why this procedure isn't mentioned in the update instructions? we shouldn't do this?
and if i update with the reset option, the backup made with backup addon for kodi 14.2 will still work ok with kodi 15?
and what is the "5. Supports changing default storage." option in the changelog?
Thank you

You can update using the Settings-Upgrade and it will keep local settings etc. The reason it isn't mentioned in readme is that it's preferable to do a clean install. Some apps will be OK with an update using old settings, some won't. It's better to backup settings using an Android backup app and install firmware fresh.

and if i update with the reset option, the backup made with backup addon for kodi 14.2 will still work ok with kodi 15?

Should be OK.

and what is the "5. Supports changing default storage." option in the changelog?
Thank you

'Supports changing default storage' is a setting under Settings-More-DEVICE. It lets you change what storage Android uses as default. So if you have loads of apps or apps that use a lot of storage you can use external USB storage for this.

Dolby Atoms doesn't work with LPMC output. Bitstreaming is fine. After installing the patch for atmos the player doesn't plays any file anymore.

Bitstream works, but how do you setup for PCM output?
I didn't succeed to make my Q5 to send 7.1 PCM to my receiver via HDMI?

The settings are little messy, don't you think?

HDMI Output : RAW - Close - Auto - LPCM
SPDIF Output : Close - LPCM - RAW
HBR Output : RAW7.1 - Auto - RAW5.1

Regards

only 2.0 LPCM out it's support, why you need Dolby Atoms with LPMC output?

The issue is that an atmos audio track with Dolby TrueHD (eg. expendables 3) isn't working whith LPMC (HDMI to TV) output. What I mean is that I have no sound when playing this file. Bitstreaming of the same video to an AV amplifier is working fine.

I bought one of these units and had the micro stutter so I returned it. Then I saw that a new firmware was out so I bought it again except I cant get the wrapper to work with an SMB share from my Asustor NAS with Kodi or with the media center. I've tried using a guest account with no password and that doesn't work either. I thought I read somewhere that Himedia was working on a new wrapper, does anybody know if this is true?

Thanks

Wrapper with Kodi works with non password protected SMB shares.

You say you can't play from the share even when using the Himedia android video player app? Do you see the share when you go Media Center - LAN - Autosearch ?

Hi and thanks for responding. I managed to get the media center to play content from my smb share using a guest account with no password. My NAS was preventing it. Once I turned off Network defender it worked but I still cant get the wrapper to play in kodi. When I just select an mkv file nothing happens. If I select "play with" and chose dvd player it works. If I select play with "himedia XBMC wrapper" nothing happens. If its a bluray iso and I select play with "himedia xbmc wrapper" I see the menu to select the main title and then when I select that nothing happens.

Any idea what might be causing the wrapper to not play?

Thanks

Who has updated to the new firmware and is satisfied? No more problems?

It sounds like something is wrong with the wrapper install. To reinstall wrapper:

1. Install ES File Explorer (free from play store) and change settings-display so you can view hidden files. Navigate to sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/. Delete the playercorefactory.xml file.
2. Run the wrapper app again and it should show wrapper as not installed. Select the button to install it.

If this doesn't work then another way would be to reinstall both kodi and wrapper. Go Settings-Apps-Kodi and clear data, clear cache and uninstall. Then reinstall Kodi and wrapper.

I will try this tonight.

No, it doesn't fix this. Sorry. We have done what we can in pushing Himedia but ultimately it's up to them what they implement. I will continue to ask Himedia.

Hi,
Before I upgrade can somebody please tell what the new media player includes?...ability to select different audio from a file?...select subs etc?
I'm already using kodi 15.1 set up just the way I like it...so would the upgrade benefit me?...cheers

Did the autoframe switch with kodi internal player was implemented or there is a option to play 23.976 fps ?
