On the principal menu go to Myapp and make your choice to the Wrapper and open it.

Hello, how can I open a SAMBA (SMB) account?

Hello, how can I open a SAMBA (SMB) account?

Samba is a networking protocol. It's the default for Windows networks/shares.

To share content on a PC/Mac:

Windows: http://kodi.wiki/view/SMB/Windows
MacOS: http://kodi.wiki/view/SMB/Mac

If you're running Linux the method will vary depending on distro. If you're sharing from a NAS (network hard drive) then download the manual for your NAS.

To share content from the Q5/Q10 Pro:

On Q5/Q10 Pro, go Home - Settings - More - SAMBA Service - Start.

On 1.0.7 custom fw with latest wrapper:

After updating to KODI Krypton Beta2, wrapper is not functioning properly anymore.
It tries to play everything, even video streams like YouTube within KODI (which does not work).


I'm currently trying to manually edit the playercorefactory.xml so it only plays 4k and DTS-HD/DTS-MA etc.

-_-



edit:

it worked.


For those who are adventurous and want to try KODI Krypton on Q10 Pro with wrapper functionality:

Navigate to \\ANDROID_BOXNUMBER\share\sdcard\Android\data\org.xbmc.kodi\files\.kodi\userdata
Make a backup of the original playercorefactory.xml - just in case
Open playercorefactory.xml
Replace text with this:

Code: [Select]

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<!-- himedia player for video -->
<player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>com.himedia.xbmcwrapper</filename>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
</player>
</players>

<rules action="prepend">

<!--network protocol rules-->

<rule protocols="nfs" player="DVDPlayer" /> <!--all nfs-->

<!--internet streams rules-->

<rule protocols="pvr" player="DVDPlayer" /> <!--all pvr-->
<rule internetstream="true" player="DVDPlayer" /> <!--all streams-->

<!--video audio channels rules-->

<rule video="true" audiochannels="6" player="Wrapper" /> <!--5.1 audio-->
<rule video="true" audiochannels="8" player="Wrapper" /> <!-- 7.1 audio-->

<!--video resolution rules-->

<rule video="true" videoresolution="720" player="Wrapper" />
<rule video="true" videoresolution="1080" player="Wrapper" />
<rule video="true" videoresolution="2160" player="Wrapper" /> <!--4K-->

<!--audio / music rules-->

<rule audio="true" player="PAplayer"/> <!--all audio to kodi internal music player-->

<!--specific codecs rules-->

<rule video="true" audiocodec="truehd|true-hd" player="Wrapper"/>

</rules>
</playercorefactory>
Exit and restart KODI.


Works for me with video streams and files with HD audio formats.
Most DVD isos won't play.
But it's nothing new that Q10 pro is sh*t at playing isos.

Hi, is it possible to disable auto start next file in the wrapper.
In kodi you have the option to disable that. But with the wrapper, the next video file is automatically started when the current one has ended.

Hi,

 I am about to buy this player but I need all audio as pass through specialy, DTS, DTS HD and Dolby and Dolby HD
As I understand Kodi doesnt passthrough these HD audio without Himedia Wrapper

I see the current version of Wrapper has 2 options, Set to Kodi Player and Set to Wrapper Player

I am a lill confused here, I want to use Kodi and all its feature thats the whole point in buying this player so if I play DTS or other HD files from Kodi will it play using Kodi player or other Himedia player ?

Also I have Synology NAS and its password protected....now In Kodi I can add smb source and from there browse movies etc folder and add to Kodi which then builds its library

Now as I read with wrapper installed and tagged to Kodi player the SBM NAS login credentials does not pass through, so how will that work ?

and how to resolve it ?

also which opeion in wrapper to chose to fix these issues ?

response on these will help be make my buying decision

[netguru]

I have set Player to wrapper Player and it Plays the files from my synology NAS via NFS without any problems

I just got my Q10 pro and just got kodi 16.1 setup connecting to my network share and from the built in media center all videos play fine over the smb share (no user name setup or needed) but when i tried playing from kodi using the wrapper i can play everything using the wrapper except 4k videos. when i try and play the 4k file in kodi it just flashes and the window is left that i have to hit ok when finished playing the file.

i have tried many different ways to setup the playercorefactory.xml file but nothing seems to play the file from kodi. the kodi logs look fine when comparing to 1080p files that play fine using the wrapper. i have attached my latest playercorefactory file and any help it appreciated.

i am on the latest android 7 firmware.

thanks
James

I tried a few more things...

Tried removing kodi and the wrapper and re-installing and that did not solve the problem.

Tried copying the 4k videos to a local drive connected to the Q10 box and tried playing from kodi via the wrapper and that seemed to work but since all my storage is in my NAS it will not work for the long run.

so from the looks my problem seems to be playing the 4k files over the network via kodi and the wrapper. hopefully someone has a tweak or fix to get this working.


thanks
