This is a video that shows my all problems

I have installed the wrapper 1.0.1 and it functions perfectly with my kodi films, but as stated in other forums, it doesn't work with stream and IPTV.
I found a new "playercorefactory.xml" that allows to play film with Himedia and streams with kodi.  So I need to change the "playercorefactory.xml" that is released with wrapper 1.0.1 D 05-05, with the new one.
I have this new file but I don't know how to replace it. I searched in several forums and I found that the first step is to enable the view of the hidden files of the Himedia and here is the first problem: I'm not able to find where I can choose to enable the hidden files. I went in file manager and I tried several options but nothing; I went in settings, then in display settings (as suggested in some forums) but again nothing. Is there the possibility to enable the view of hidden files in the Q10 Pro and if yes which is the path to reach it?
Then they suggest to paste this new file in the correct folder (the one that is hidden), but they didn't say how to enable it. I don't know if once pasted, is now possible to start the wrapper and everything is ok, or if I have to enable the new playercorefactory.xml in some way. My fear is that when I click on install playercorefactory, the app will install the older version, the one that comes with the wrapper apk and not the new file.
Thanks for your help

E/S explorer or X-Plore can display hidden folders/files. (Playstore apms)

In Kodi too you can ask to get them shown.

Thanks.
I found and enable the command in Kodi. From here I see the correct folder, but I don't know how to paste the xml file.

I have to download from google play one of the two apps that you suggest? the original software of the Himedia couldn't display hidden folders?
Wich one do you suggest?

Hello your kind of problem is not the Wrapper but think about where your movies files are in the internal hard disk or NAS Samba ??
And witch version of kodi you use 16.1 final one !!!!
It's anormal that he said to you Click Ok.......... he can't find exactly where your files are.....
Just see when you try to paly directly your files by "Media Center", it works ?

You can use ES file explorer.

Here is what I did:
I uninstalled the previous playercorefactory.xml in the window that opens clicking on the wrapper app
I used "file manager (explorer)" to copy and paste the playercorefactory.xml in the folder Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/kodi/userdata
I opened and closed KODI
I opened the wrapper app and select install playercorefactory.xml
I opened again KODI but things remain unchanged: I can see my film from kodi on the himedia using the wrapper (that was great, very fast), but again when I started an IPTV channel the wrapper crashed.

Where is my mistake? Why I'm not able to use the wrapper only for my films and the kodi player for IPTV?

For Binnugsay: sorry but I don't understand, I didn't have problem to play my film from the internal HDD both with Himedia and with Kodi 16.1

Hi
Q5pro on order
Newbie question what does the wrapper do?
 Can I just plug the box in and go or is it vital I install the wrapper?

Thanks

Normally you have two or more Mediaplayers on your Qxx Pro Player.
Kodi and it's player and the Himedaicenter and it's player.
If you preferr to work with the management of Kodi (which is really great!), but you do not want to use the player of Kodi (because it es stuttering) you need the wrapper. The Wrapper i a software that passes the movie, clicked in Kodi, over to the Himediaplayer.
And if the movie is finished or you stopp it, the Wrapper passes it back over to Kodi and closes the Himediaplayer.
Thats it, only a little Software app that passes movies around.

Reading  with the Wrapper is now OK !! Woah !!

So mark this well to all those who have the message " video problem - Confirm" when playing certain files and then "press " OK " at the end of reading " and nothing happens :

In my case , files that do not want to launch were in directories named

# 3D
# 4K
#ISO

A renaming immediately solved my problems

3D
4K
ISO

DO NOT have special characters in your directory tree , it is a good chance for the worries come from there. It is at least worth exploring .

NOT using special characters like f.e. # is an absolute prerequisite!
Working with different operating systems it is an absolute must not to use such Characters!

@Alter_Schwede62: Would you please be so kind and stop spamming obvious comments that don't contribute in any way all over this forum? Thank you...

Please mind your own business, dutch.
