Q5/Q10 Pro Kodi 'wrapper' Instructions

[drabisan]

Update: indeed was because nfs was forced to work with VideoPlayer. I don't have to manually add mkv in rule filetypes.
So one question for Himedia/Futeko:  Is there a reason to redirect all nfs connections to VideoPlayer?

Follow-up: is there a preferred way to add shares from 2 different NASs, each with its own user/pass and play movies with Wrapper (aka if I add network locations from Kodi interface, are the credentials passed to Wrapper?). I don't want to install any patch to achieve this. I tend to keep the configuration as default as possible to be able to run into a working state as soon as any upgrade is performed - and that not only for my Q10Pro, is a habit I have to customize things as little as possible in order to preserve the compatibility after software upgrades.

NFS wrapper implementation is buggy and not working when path include movie, video string
Last Wrapper from FW v2.0.3 not force NFS to be play with VideoPlayer, you can extract apk from update.zip /system/app/Wrapper

Wrapper from 2.0.3: http://www.mediafire.com/file/0h22goov27x9bk6/Wrapper-1.0.3_HMD_0411.apk

I'm using 2.0.3. I can't check now what's the Wrapper version my unit is running, but it has to be the one from the official 2.0.3 firmware.

Maybe I was not clear enough, I had <rule protocols="nfs|http|rtmp|sop" player="VideoPlayer" /> <!--all nfs-->
in playercorefactory.xml and because all my shares are mounted over NFS all movies were played by VideoPlayer when starting a movie from Kodi! No exception! The only way to "convince" Wrapper to play a movie used to be Play using...
The only way I can understand this is WAI.

I could start Wrapper manually and play any movie, but I find it easier to mount my shares in Kodi than to create shortcuts in Wrapper.

Just to add that this was exactly the same problem i was having.

On startup after connecting to lan humedia statup screen jumps to wrapper app. Why?  and how can this be helped?
Using latest android fw and latest wrapper app.

Cursor blinking in samba account name.... ??

Deleting wrapper app cache did not work.

Does it need samba account and pw to work? Tried that. Did not work

Go to MY Apps->Wrapper and press Menu button, then select (set) "Close Start" and not the "Default  Start" option.

Somehow you've set wrapper app to auto-start on boot.

Go to MY Apps->Wrapper and press Menu button, then select (set) "Close Start" and not the "Default  Start" option.

is correct to disable it.

It seems simple enough... but did not work. Reflashed the system with latest fw android 5 again. And to my surprise Netflix was no longer available in the playstore. I could switch off and on the wrapper with startup at boot and again with no startup on boot. So works fine now. Only had to install Netflix from other source then playstore.

All works fine now.

I'm nowhere near my unit so I can't test.
What this mod version is suppose to do? After removing NFS entry from playercorefactory.xml I have no problems. At least none that was reported to me, so my "users" are happy.

Hi, i'm just in the process of updating playerfactory to get kodi player play pvr streams. What do you mean by "NFS wrapper implementation is buggy and not working when path include movie, video string"?

Currently i have my mounts with NFS and is working great with wrapper. In fact is working better that with default kodi player, some files not even play with kodi player but works great with the wrapper.

Forgot to mention, using Kodi 16. I need to update xml to allow pvr that doesn't work with wrapper.

Thanks!

I am running the latest firmware 2.0.8 for the q10 pro. My question is do I need to install the wrapper apk. If so, can someone post the link to the version I need and what settings I need for the wrapper?

It comes with the firmware:
Go to MY Apps->Wrapper and press Menu button
You can then choose which action you want.  "Default start" means what is says 

As noted above in this thread, it is simply a "playercorefactory.xml" file which tells Kodi to shell to the in-built MediaCenter player each time you press "play".  There are variations you can make to suit you own requirements.  I let Kodi handle low quality DVD resolutions and below, itself, when required.
