Q5/Q10 Pro Kodi 'wrapper' Instructions

[futeko.com]

This works on any version of Kodi and gives full hardware features (4K, auto-frame rate switching, 3D, 7.1 HD-Audio etc) from Kodi.

It works by modifying Kodi to run HiMedia's hardware video player for most video.

WRAPPER v1.0.1 IS PRE-INSTALLED ON FIRMWARE LATER THAN 1.0.5 SO NO NEED TO REINSTALL IT.

1. Run KODI, and then exit KODI by click the EXIT icon.
2. Download and install http://www.mediafire.com/download/00rvha2a1vf4a8t/Wrapper-1.0.1_HMD_0628_Release.apk.
3. Run the newly installed app (it will be available under 'My Apps'. Select 'Set to Wrapper player'.
4. Run KODI and you should now have 4K, auto-frame rate switching, 3D, 7.1 HD-Audio etc support.
5. You can test if wrapper is installed by navigating to a video and pressing remote key. You should get a 'play using' option in menu with two options, 'Wrapper' and 'DVDPlayer (kodi internal player'.

Uninstall instructions:

Run the wrapper app and select 'Set to KODI Player'.

After you installed the wrapper APK, did you open the wrapper app and actually click 'install' to apply it to Kodi?

If there isn't a playercorefactory.xml in your Kodi userdata folder, then it didn't apply correctly.

[lalootre]

Yes , playercorefactory.xml  is in Kodi folder

No prob with Q5 "normal"

Um, don't know; maybe . has thoughts on what may be up. I haven't seen other reports of new wrapper not working. But, it's also early and users are still getting their players.

I tested under SPMC , always the same problem of black screen with the Wrapper 

[hdmkv]

SPMC won't work as it has a different signature. That's why it can co-exist w/regular Kodi.

I'd try uninstalling wrapper and Kodi, then install Kodi, open it, let it sit for 2 mins, then close it. Install and open wrapper, apply it, then close. Now, re-start Kodi and try.

Ok ....

I found the cause of the problem , when I read a movie on a USB key or external hardDrive ->  wrapper ...
Read movie on my network sharing (SMB) , it does not work 

[hdmkv]

My set-up is the opposite... using SMB for playing all videos, not USB.

One thing you can try is NFS... just go to 'Media Center' and choose NFS to auto-search for and find a share. It should then be automatically added. Now, I think you can add this share from Kodi.

Or, PM @looun here... he created a mounting tool sometime ago and should be able to help.

please note if you use KODI/SPMC to play files from SMB network, the SMB network should have NO User ID and Password.

Thx !!! It works !! prob Solved

Thanks @looun... HiMedia really needs to fix issue w/password protected SMB shares.

Thanks @looun... HiMedia really needs to fix issue w/password protected SMB shares.

i thin k it's not possible, kodi not send  login info to external player .
The only solution it's  himedia media center with enhancement Automount Multimedia shared net folder like we have suggest.
