Q5/Q10 Pro Kodi 'wrapper' Instructions

[futeko.com]

Kodi+wrapper and himediaplayer playback performance should be identical (all the wrapper does is call Himediaplayer for playback).

So your problem is puzzling! Have you installed anything else that might be interfering?

My catch all solution would be to reinstall firmware using reset button method and start from scratch. It should work.

I got this online with some other apps installed but I removed all that did not look like it was needed, I also re-installed both kodi and the wrapper but no luck. so I was thinking about doing a factory reset first then maybe v17rc2 and worse case reloading the firmware again.

I would not advise doing a factory reset. Some apps are installed first boot after firmware install.

Can I completely uninstall the Kodi 16.1 which comes with Q10 pro and install the Kodi 17 RC and will wrapper still work with Kodi 17 ?

[Fa.Ch]

It is what I have done

K17 RC works fine with wrapper

I'm on 5.1 Android version / 1.0.9 CSFW

I have set Wrapper to "Set to Wrapper Player" so while playing my local files it opens himedia player fine from Kodi

but the problem is when I try to open any other Video adons like E****** the movie doesnt play at all ... I think it tries to open himedia player for those also but since himedia player cannot do stream it just dont open those vids

its a bummer...any way to fix pls ?

after numerous re-installs I found the problem, it seems my master shared MySql database was corrupt and when i re-created a new blank one with the same config files i was using it worked fine on all the players including the Q10.

Thanks

I'm exactly with the same problem. I was hoping that 2.1 Firmware will fixed due to Kodi 17 support but no luck.
Kodi 17 doesn't play content from add-ons on my Q10 Pro.
I'm going to downgrade to Kodi 16.1 until some fix come up.

It (almost) works thank you!
Unfortunately after 10 seconds of video playback (kodi addon/network/hdd) it starts freezing and hanging.
Any suggestions?

Iam not a specialist, where do i search this IN Kodi or Wrapper or on the HiMedia android??  I search and only result, IN Kodi y found the XML, but y cant read nor edit it.

Use a file Explorer on the himedia  and navigate to that directory. Then edit the document in a text editor if you have one installed. Es file Explorer works well with its built in text editor,  although it has some annoying notifications built in these days. 

I am waiting in my box to come but pretty sure this is what is required.

Please, let us know if you have some progress.
As I previously mention this workaround doesn't work 100% percent for me. I have sluggish playback from videos addons.

I have made the changes on a PC with samba enabled on the Q10 Pro, just make sure when you navigate to \\ANDROID_YOURBOXINNETWORK\share\sdcard\Android\data\org.xbmc.kodi\files\.kodi\userdata on the pc you have to enable "Show hidden files".

I have tested this on Android 7 and the definitive version of Kodi 17 (Not a release candidate).
I ended up downgrading AGAIN to Kodi 16.1

The sluggish playback isn't related to wrapper or playercorefactory. It's how Android Kodi 17 is on all Android platforms with streaming add-ons. Kodi need to fix it.

This is the method I would use to edit playercorefactory:
