RE: Player Choices with Kodi + Full 3D + HD Audio - serieofilo - 2015-10-14

Hi again,

Sorry for my post about an HTPC here :-(

My question now is about WeTek Play (or WeTek OpenElec version) versus Raspberry Pi 2 versus Odroid C1+.

Which one is better in terms of HD audio support using OpenElec?

Thanks.

This is the wrong thread for your question; please ask here or PM wrxtasy. He's your guy for this. For your choices above, I'd pick RPi2. It will decode HD audio (not bitstream) and send to your AVR as uncompressed multichannel.

This thread focuses on 3D players.


RE: Player Choices with Kodi + Full 3D + HD Audio - serieofilo - 2015-10-14

Ups! Sorry again :-(

I'll post in the right thread ...

Thanks.

You might need to add the Shield on later date Big Grin
Second this!!!
We should have this thread for all the good multimedia players out there and not just the ones that do 3D!!! Not everyone needs 3D !!!


RE: Player Choices with Kodi + Full 3D + HD Audio - hdmkv - 2015-10-15

Agree, but this thread is targeted for 3D fans. Several recommended 2D player threads already exist, and you're free to create a comparison chart/thread for everyone's benefit if you wish.

New HiMedia H8 Octa firmware out. This has same chip as Zidoo X6, and HiMedia may have just beat Zidoo to adding true 3D support in Kodi via internal player (no wrapper like their M3/Q5/Q10). Wish I had a H8 to test...

Quote:1. General bug fixes and stability improvements.
2. Custom Kodi 15.2rc1.
3. Full HD-Audio native support in Android Media Centre (DTS / Dolby Digital / DTS-HD MA / Dolby TrueHD).
4. Full HD-Audio native support in custom Kodi (DTS / Dolby Digital / DTS-HD MA / Dolby TrueHD).
5. 4K native support in custom Kodi.
6. H.265 native support in custom Kodi.
6. Wider video format support.
7. Updated Youtube (adaptive HD), Netflix, Skype and other apps.
8. 3D-ISO support in Kodi. **Needs testing.

This is good news!!!

Himedia is always on point.

Did they include the Video Processor Engine?


RE: Player Choices with Kodi + Full 3D + HD Audio - hdmkv - 2015-10-16

This one does not, but may not matter if PQ is good... anyway, I asked them for a review unit, so hoping I can get my hands on it.


RE: Player Choices with Kodi + Full 3D + HD Audio - movie78 - 2015-10-16

Since Zidoo and Himedia are made in China/Shenzhen i suggest that the Zidoo should walk down the block and buy HiMedia H8,to an idea on how Frame-packing 3D works.Angry

Now i regret of not having bought that H8


RE: Player Choices with Kodi + Full 3D + HD Audio - hdmkv - 2015-10-16

Too early to tell... let's see what users post about 3D in Kodi @ Futeko forum. Hopefully, 3D isn't rendered as HSBS like X6 is doing with its native player.

All of these good news since ZIDOO open the source.You know,Brings the principleSmile
so the other RK3368 boxes's 3D playback is same of x6,It's also SBS now!
We are working on 3D framcepacking on X6,If there is no accidenta,we'll release a beta version within a week.
BTW:A lot of android boxes support 3D framepacking in native player,such as ZIDOO X9

I believe HiMedia needs to share now as well per GPL rules; will relay message to them.
