Q5/Q10 Pro Kodi 'wrapper' Instructions

[hdmkv]

I'm using Synology 1812+ w/o password SMB protected shares.

Could i have an official confirmation if the q10 Pro can support 8tb internal hard disk ? Because a member wrote to me that it only supports up to 6tb.
If so, the Seagate 8tb that i have on mind , has a speed of 5900 rpm.Is it combatible or not ? If not which 8tb Hdd would you suggest ? Anyone ?

Wrapper will decode and send 10bit to my tv?
I read Kodi is limited to 8bit.

You'll get exactly the same output as with the Himedia video player app.

So, yes you'll get 10bit.

Awesome!
Thanks, futeko!

Hello, I also have a problem with the wrapper...!

I have installed the wrapper as explained in the first post. When I connect to my Synology NAS via UPNP all movies are played with Kodi's player. When I connect to the NAS with NFS none of the movies are played at all... ! So the wrapper appears not to work...

When I open the wrapper again, it says "playercorefactory.xml already exist"...so I assume that the wrapper is correctly installed...

UPDATE:

Found the solution:

1. Connection must be established via SMB.
2. Guest account must be active on the NAS.

Now works fine !!

Yes. Mist be Samba networking and no password on Samba share.

Wrapper has stopped working ... is now just black screen of death with no audio/video when files are played.

Files can be played direct from SD Card in side of Q10 Pro

Have even tried flashing back to original firmware , uninstalling & reinstalling wrapper , even tried Kodi 16.1 Jarvis RC2

Nothing seems to get wrapper working again 

*EDIT ... Ok , schoolboy error ... i THOUGHT i had reflashed it , but didnt put the file on a USB stick , just and SD Card instead.

Reflash now successfull and wrapper up and running and NO black screen of death

Here you go. OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION OF 8TB COMPATIBILITY. I have the Seagate Archive 8TB HDD internally hooked up and it's purring like a comfy cat. 6,25 TB of the available 7,28 TB are used, so there's your proof. I took a quick pic with my utterly crappy mobile phone's cam for you to see.

@LLChris thank you for your response.Thats exactly the Hdd i want to buy as internal.To be 100% sure we're talking about the model Seagate Archive ST8000AS0002 8tb because there are also some models of Seagate 8tb that costs more.

NICE!! 

How did you format your 8Tb drive? Thru Android (Q10 Pro), left it untouched, thru a PC (GPT, NTFS) etc.?

That is the exact model I bought as the "Archive" version is the cheapest available. So go for it.

I've put it in an external casing, hooked it up to my Win7 PC and NTFS formatted it. Then crammed it with HD movies. It was only yesterday, that my Q10 Pro was delivered, so I put the filled ST8000AS0002 8tb into the Q10 and let it initialise. No five mins later everything was ready to fly.

Thank you very much. You've just made me a very happy person. You see i read all the reviews so far and they are very interesting but for me that i only want is to have my collection of movies in one place and to watch them with decent PQ is plain chinese.I think I'll have problems with the implementation of Kodi but that's a thing to deal when my Q10 arrives.Thanks again
