Thanks.
Please, everybody, acknowledge whether or not the SUBTITLE BUG is still present.
That is, if subtitles lines are skipping if pause is too small or zero...
This is the only reason why I am still using 2.0.6.
Cheers, MIhai.

PS - LATER EDIT - I read in the other forum that subtitle bug STILL EXIST. TOO BAD, Himedia.

Hi, The older versions did not allow to get full UHD/4k Resolution when displaying JPG images (only HD). Is this now fixed?
Thanks

Hi Futeko.
It is possible to write to HiMedia the list of unresolved bugs, which we have been dragging on for a long time, such as the problem of the 720x576 aspect ratio.

Hi Futeko.

Thank you

I regularly forward a list of bugs to himedia. e.g., after 2.0.8:

* Directories/Filenames with special characters will not play himediaplayer / kodi+wrapper. e.g. # [] ().

* Some subtitle lines not shown when pause between subtitles is <1ms. srt. Was OK in 2.0.6, broken in 2.0.7 and 2.0.8.

Samples:

http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=3043.msg23402#msg23402 http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=3043.0;attach=583

* 720x576 video (e.g. PAL DVD) aspect ratio incorrect. Squashed horizontally. OK in 2.0.4 and earlier, broken in all subsequent firmware.

e.g., after 2.0.7:

** Squashed image when playing 720x576 files (i.e. all PAL format DVD). REGRESSION 2.0.5/2.0.6/2.0.7 (OK IN 2.0.4). Himediaplayer. Samples and explanation: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=2576.0

** SPACES IN TOP FOLDER OF MOVIE DIRECTORY STOPS SHARE BEING VISIBLE IN MEDIA CENTER. http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=812.msg21659#msg21659

** Himediaplayer cannot find any non-Chinese subtitles.

** Audio delay when playing anything through RCA outputs.

** Kodi wrapper crashes when video filename contains special characters (e.g. # or &). These are very common in titles so this is a big problem.

** Subtitle time adjust delay function is too short, only allows "+/-" 10 seconds

** Some AVI files don't play in Himediaplayer Regression from 2.0.6. http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=711.msg22068#msg22068

** Possible framerate slowdown with 2.0.7. Not earlier firmwares. http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=2834.0

** Subtitle lines not displayed 2.0.7 only. http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=812.msg22293#msg22293

** Deleting files using Samba does not free up space on HDD in Q10 Pro. http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=2646.msg22292#msg22292

So HiMedia are aware of the key bugs.

I will contact them in a few days with whatever new 2.0.9 throws up plus what has not been fixed.

Futeko ,

Thanks a lot

I can not download the software

[pkonst2509]

I don't understand why the changelog does not show that the FileManager has been taken out in 2.0.9.
Also, the proposed FileExplorer in my opinion is not a substitute. You can't really navigate with the HiMedia remote

[honto]

There's a problem with aspect ratio

Edited:
Ah..now it's solved. I didn't check the settings

Thanks.Have a nice weekend

Subtile line skip issue not resolved. ->Which is just enough to completely ignore this update.

Any news on the audio slip issue on the analogue output, have you tested it Futeko? (Or anyone else who would be that kind...)

Well IMO HiMedia with this kind off costumer care and support just will loose lot's of potential current costumers, when the release of they new devices came actual. Guess they think they would have just right enough newbie, uninformed verdants to sell as many as it's still worth them (as I may guess it's still happening now with the current products). (DGMW, the Pro models wouldn't be and maybe even aren't that bad, but you have to make some unexpected and uncomfortable compromises, as some of their basic bugs are very irritating and it makes it even more ridiculous when they still fail to fix them, or juts -inexplicably- fall back to previously fixed bugs, after more than 2 years of "development").

One thing to take note as a plus (or rather minus): till OFW 1.0.9 I had no problem with the 24Hz 3D MVC output, as it was seamless on my Samsung Active 3D TV (that was know that if you're lucky , than you'r TV might compensate it), but after 2.0.6 the 41 sec period microstutter just came as visible for me as for any of the other complaining users. So there is definitely some difference now how even that 24Hz is made output in the case of 3D MVC. ->So suggest as an also worthily notable technical detail to be reported to Futeko.

It seems the subtitle issue is perhaps the key concern for international users ( not to say there are many other bugs, specially around 3D).

[DMD]

A question that I often ask myself is why HiMedia does not want to solve these bugs introduced with recent firmware and what interests they have not to do?

[magicoolje]

I am forced to use 2.0.6 because of this stupid bug...."sub line skipping" .
Amazing!!!
