OFFICIAL Q10 PRO FIRMWARE. FUTEKO. HMD-2.0.7 2018-01-12

[eccles]

Hello Futeko!

I can confirm the bug that the subtitles are running now in 2.07 with a wrong timing.
Please report this to HiMedia.

Cheers

I also get this problem with 2.07 with 1080p content. srt subs run ok for a few seconds, then pause and catch up with several subs running through in quick succession, far too quick to read. This is when running through the wrapper. The Kodi player seems to work ok, with 1080p stuff at least.
I have reverted to 2.04 and subs are fine again.

Hello everybody,
today I dirty flashed back to CFW2.0.6.
The reason is a VERY ANNOYING BUG in subtitles of 2.0.7 - sometimes WHOLE LINES of subtitles were not shown, even if pauses were fixed with subtitle workshop. It was a definite, real, repetitive flaw which I could repeat MANY times, and which DISSAPEARED once I came back to 2.0.6.
Verified and re-verified.
This is just to let you know, for your info.
Cheers everyone.

Later Edit: I am not certain but starting with CFW2.0.7 I suddenly started to encounter repeated, relatively frequent (several times every movie or TV series) interruptions of playback, with blackscreen and video signal cutback, the 4k HDR Panasonic Smart Tv recovering signal and resuming playback after a few seconds. After rewinding back a few moments and resuming playback to go through the problem-moment again, the same blackscreen did not occur anymore, not even one time, so I presume that the phenomenon is generated by Q10Pro/Firmware, not by video file. Just for you all to know, maybe someone can put 2 and 2 together.
I only play video files stored internally on a relatively new, error free and well-maintained HDD. Only alterations to firmware are by patching for More framerate, ROOT and SAMBA. IMPREX always OFF.
I will come back with impressions if going back to CFW2.0.6 is bringing back any improvement.

Still no HD audio pass through with Kodi 17.x. I see the FAQ has been edited to no longer indicate this will be fixed in a future firmware. Does anyone know if this is still in the works, or has  Himeda given up on this?

It has nothing to do with Himedia, it is Kodi policy .
2.07 is Android 7 , API level 24
 audiopassthrough for this API level :
 AC3, EAC3, DTS
Kodi team  miss hardware / software to implement dts-hd, truehd
    Kodi team only implemented DTS -hd, TrueHd for Nvidia Shield only , along with Amologic devices .

  In order to implement HD audio Himedia has to CONTACT KODI TEAM and provide them with information needed .

KODI follows the standard IEC API, I think. Apps follow the IEC API will passthrough the HD Audio in Android 7, such as Emby, PLEX, KODI. Himedia has to finalize their firmware for the IEC API.

I have exactly the same issue since fw 2.06 and I have my media on network share...tried everything, nothing works.
Very frustrating...to the point I'm searching for a q10 alternative.

Is there anything specific to 2.06 or 2.07 that you need that prevents you from dropping back to an earlier release? I've found 2.04 to be stable, and it's easy enough to install Kodi 17.6 on that release using the Kodi repository.

Not rely this situation after release of Kodi 17.6. Kodi Team change again how Kodi detect passthrough capability and in addition for me is strange decision of Kodi Team to force  IEC API on PCM 2.0 output start with Kodi 17.6, because  not one of SoC suppliers follow  IEC API on this way on their SDK.

Follow Kodi forum to see how good is decision to use IEC API force on PCM 2.0.

There is a "shitty" version of KODI's branch that use old way to deal with passthrough, and I think the original KODI still use the standard IEC API. I test the Android box's compatibility of IEC API with KODI and other apps such as Emby/Plex that announce to use the new IEC API. nVidia Shield TV can passthrough DTS:X/ATMOS with the three apps. Still hope Himedia's android box can.

PS: MX Player for Android TV now use the new IEC API, I think. I may tested it recently.

Bump.

I am having the same issue, just can't find a way to get rid of them permanently.  They always come on even if you select default subs to none on the media player, it doesn't seem to save the preference.   Shouldn't be too much to ask?!

[Kirek50]

Since the 2.07 firmware has been installed, Wrapper loses lines in the subtitles. Kodi and other players do not cause problems. You have to inform the authors of the firmware.

Adding another bug with this firmware - player goes into pause mode when playing music and TV OFF.

If you're talking about Android settings, I deleted English. Added Spanish. Saved. Then I deleted Spanish and re-added English.

This had no effect whatsoever.

So then I clicked on the link you provided and it said "can you show me where this option is, I'm blind."

Do you think you could possibly be a tiny bit helpful instead of sending me in circles with no results yet again?

Unless of course, you work for the competition and want to keep us clueless and in the dark. IF that's the case, please post many more messages EXACTLY like that!

Start a movie, go into options or menu. Select subtitle default to "off" if the option for default "off" isn't shown, Go into android settings, to language, delete english and install a different language. Then restart the movie and the option to turn subtitle default "off" should be shown. Finally, go back into android settings, and reinstall english in language settings. Reload movie and see that subtitle is "off " by default
