Just picked up this player and even with the firmware 1.0.9 im getting stuttering on 24p playback?
Also if i try to playback Dolby Atmos audio my AV Reviever is only recieving a stereo signal, i have changed the audio settings to raw and selected passthrough inside kodi.
DTS-HD is working as it should so im kond of stumped as to what to do.
Any suggestions?
you can use internal kodi player(dvdplayer) you must use external himediaviaoplayer with himediawrapper http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=60.0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
for all, with this version of playercorefactory.xml should be work watched flag

You mean this one looun? With firmware 1.0.9.1 I noticed HiMedia already implemented a feature where a pop-up message comes up when you start a movie asking you to select 'OK' after playback has finished... so, when you're done with the external (HiMedia) player and return to Kodi UI, that pop-up is there waiting for you to mark the movie as watched. It's a hack (as you may not have actually finished the movie), but better than nothing.

I followed all the instruction to install the wrapper and now no video's will launch in Kodi?
I am able to play the files perfectly in the MediaCenter
Any idea what has gone wrong?

if you play file from shared folder with password, wrapper not work!
(please note if you use XBMC/KODI to play files from SMB network, the SMB network should have no User ID and Password.)

I am using NFS share, no password set up, Kodi will not launch any files now.
So now when I goto select a file to play a box comes up saying "External Player Active - Click OK when playback has ended" When I click OK in that box nothing happens, the file does not start playing.
Im stumped.

Yes I have tried 14.2 - 15 - and even the latest nightly build.
I have found out from Futeko that the wrapper does not work with NFS, so I tried to setup a Samba share but typically when I try to add I get to the Workgroup and I have a "Connection timed out message"
I hate Windows, I really wish Mac would sort some HD Audio drivers Stat!
RE: New HiMedia Q5 - hdmkv - 2015-07-27
I'm not even seeing that playercorefactory.xml you guys are talking about at that link. I did have success modifying HiMedia's playercorefactory.xml to have it play live TV/PVR via Kodi DVDPlayer vs. HiMediaWrapper (HiMediaPlayer) by changing this part...
Code:
<rule protocols="pvr" player="DVDPlayer" >
<rule video="true" videoresolution="540" player="DVDPlayer"/>
<rule filename=".*540.*" player="XBMCWrapper"/>
<rule video="true" videoresolution="720" player="DVDPlayer"/>
<rule filename=".*720.*" player="XBMCWrapper"/>
<rule video="true" videoresolution="1080" player="DVDPlayer"/>
<rule filename=".*1080.*" player="DVDPlayer"/>
<rule filename=".*0.pvr" player="dvdplayer"/>
<rule filename=".*1.pvr" player="dvdplayer"/>
</rule>Haven't tested extensively, but seems to work with my DVBLink set-up and 720p and 1080i ATSC mpeg2 OTA streams.
RE: New HiMedia Q5 - Skank - 2015-07-27
Hdmkv,
If so.
We could modify to only play iso which mostly are 3d movies.. Right?
In that way, all other files would still use internal kodi player and have kodi gui?
RE: New HiMedia Q5 - woundedgoat - 2015-07-27
So I seem to of hit another stumbling block, SMB does not see to allow external mounted drives to be shared, when trying to add them I am prompted for a password.
Does anyone think they will make this wrapper work with NFS shares? if not then I need to find another solution.
RE: New HiMedia Q5 - hdmkv - 2015-07-27
(2015-07-27, 20:24)Skank Wrote: Hdmkv,I believe it's possible. I think you'll want HiMedia player to play MKV's, TS, M2TS, etc. as well to get 23.976 and HD audio. So, maybe include something like this (modified from what the German forum guy did, plus the PVR part I posted above)...
If so.

</playercorefactory>Now, only having done a copy/paste and simply looking at the logic, above makes sense to me, but no idea if it's all proper.
RE: New HiMedia Q5 - roy8846 - 2015-07-27
Just ordered a Q5 and receive tomorrow (futeko)
Hopefully the modded xml does work so we get the best of both worlds!
RE: New HiMedia Q5 - hdmkv - 2015-07-27
I'm going to keep playing around with the XML until we get what we want, or close to it. I think we want HiMediaPlayer used for most file types except DVD ISO's or DVD resolution (480, 576) files, OTA HDTV live streams (mpeg2 in the U.S.), plus any AVI/DIVX/XVID files right?
Also, the PVR part will need to be different for Europe as it's H.264.
