Thank you.
I did as you say, copied playercorefactory.xml to the correct directory,
But when i open Navi x and tell it to use a certain kind of player for playback i cannot see nothing only these options
dvdplayer
MPlayer
PAPlayer

I use dvdplayer as i think this may be the default player installed on the Ugoos UT3, but when i playback a 5.1 multi channel film via Navi X .. streaming .. it plays it in stereo only.
I have setup Kodi to play in 5.1 mode and multi channel ect.
I cannot understand why Navi X only plays films in stereo mode.
If i play a 5.1 film from the video player installed on the Ugoos UT3 it plays it back correctly, 5.1 mode.
Can anyone shed any light on this problem ?
Thank you.

Are you trying to get this thread closed down and/or yourself banned? Read the rules, no navix discussion.

Oops sorry i did not realise.
Wont happen again.

i'm really curious to read about video quality output vs other players (upscaling and hd content)

The result is clear
4K TV UHD55b6000is

Ok that looks a lot more promising that the SoC does support it, unfortunately Android boxes have a history of shortcuts being taken which makes me suspicious of claims until they can be independently verified. Many claimed 1080p output when it was only 720p upscaled, and it seems like some maybe doing the similar with 4K, so good on Cloud Media if they've done it right.

Anyone know of some small 4k videos I can test with Rockchip's XBMC app?

Can you guys also try out the 4K test patterns from this article to check if hardware truly support 2160p / 3840 × 2160 output?

Nothing supports hardware video decoding for Hi10P in the consumer space. Nothing ever will. It was a profile that was never meant to be used by consumers.

I just talked to a friend on another forum and he reported his Tronsmart Vega S89-H Elite was able to play this Hi10P sample: http://android.tnonline.net/Software/Video/Hi10P%20Software/hotd-op-1080p-hi10p.mkv

Also, I ordered the Bluetimes QBox Pro on a chinese site, which has HDMI 2.0. I will try it with my XBR-55X905A (equivalent to USA 55X900A). Estimated 30-45 working days to arrive.

Being able to play it is not the same as having hardware video decoding support.

Many H.264 8-bit hardware players can playback H.264 10-bit encoded videos, but it is just played in a kind-of backwards compatibility mode so you just don't get the benefit of 10-bit depth precision and higher-resolution color information as the hardware decoder can only use 8 of the 10 bits. If you look closely you will probably also see artifacts since H.264 10-bit encoded videos are not truly a backwards compatible format.

You can kind-of compare H.264 10-bit encoded video to DTS-HD encoded audio stream. DTS-HD consists of a DTS 5.1 Core (at the max rate 1536kbps) then an extension is added which includes the extra information to produce the full DTS-HD audio stream, but it is design to be backwards compatible. So if a hardware only capable of playing back DTS audio and not DTS-HD audio then you will still hear the sound, but it is only the DTS 5.1 Core that is being played back and the extra information that produce the full DTS-HD audio stream is simply being ignored.

Officially there are no hardware players that supports real hardware video decoding H.264 10-bit encoded videos, period. And if you want to playback H.264 10-bit encoded videos then you will probabaly always have to rely on software decoding using raw CPU power.

And again we are getting way too off-topic here.

So the player does a software decode? Is there processing power for that?

Sorry, I'm new to this tech stuff.

RE: Rockchip RK3288 SoC based Android media players and XBMC experience? - Ned Scott - 2014-10-13

I've heard that some people have been able to software decode some Hi10P videos on the more powerful ARM CPUs. I don't know what the threshold is for CPU power and what bitrate the video is, though.
