When it come to Video quality,i think Realtek chipset is much better or.

i have had realtek 1186( xtreamer very bad box very bad sdk) , sigma and hisilicon box . like some peoples say on av forum q5 PQ is near Oppo player ( best player ), special if you have plasma or projector, but i not try never 1195.

I think only Bevix with Marvell soc have better PQ with Qdeo engine.

Guys,

What do you guys think about these new Rockchip RK3368 players?

Zidoo X6
HiMedia H8
Tronsmart R68
Beelink i68

Specs:
Chipset Family ARM Cortex A53
Chipset Model Rockchip RK3368 1.5Ghz Octa Core
Chipset GPU PowerVR G6110

They are capable of playing 3D.ISO
Internal Memory 2GB Internal Storage 16GB

Tronsmart R68 Beelink i68 H8 is equal , there is kodi version with autoswitch fps but no 23.976.

ZIDOO X6 Support support Adjust display refresh rate to match video 24/50/60 and 23.976 fps with KODI. HD Audio is just in video player may be temporary，We are solving it in kodi.

So which on is better HiMedia H8 or Q5 4k?

Q5 4K.

Have you compared?
I would not say that too quick

If himedia comes with a wrapper and 3d iso + hdaudio + 23.... support
I think H8 is better cause of 4k

4k without hevc 10 bit, a HDR (High Dynamic Range) , gamut Rec.2020 not make any sense

With my RPi2, the only nagging issue I have is sometimes after I start a movie (2D or 3D) and stop, I get a 'no signal' message on my display.

I only had that problem, when "sync to display" was selected. Drove me nuts - but without - never any problem.

Looking at the chart, the H8 seems inferior to the Q5, but I'm torn. I am ready to start using KODI again, and want the best experience with 4K. I have no interest in 3D as my new 4K television doesn't support it. I understand there are some "wrapper" issues with H8, but frankly I don't know how that will affect me. My goals:

Very Snappy UI experience in KODI
Crisp/smooth 1080P or 4K playback
DTS/ DTS-HD passthrough

What is 3D playback picture quality of Himedia Q5 compare to the VidOn box?

The M-195 has a dull 3D playback,not as vibrant and clear as the VidOn box.

[movie78]

Is this SBS;HOU or 3D.ISO (Frame packed) ?

So it is playing the raw .SSIF file (Which is container of 3D.ISO) in Kodi without external player.

Soo @mirror88 ... that Zidoo X6 seems very promising...but can in reality passthrough hd audio?! kodi is updatable via playstore, right? and most important, where and how much can we get that, in Europe ??

[SilverBlade]

Just because Kodi can see that a video stream has HD audio in it, doesn't mean the player is passing it through to the AV receiver...

If the AV receiver doesn't show 'DTS-HD' or 'Dolby TrueHD' on it, then the player isn't bitstreaming..

Q5's PQ is noticeably better than VidOn's. At this point, may be better to wait & see how Zidoo X6 turns out as the best choices for 3D right now are either HiMedia or Raspberry Pi 2.

Hoping popcornmix can comment on this. Why does this happen when we have both 'sync to display' and 'adjust display refresh rate' enabled (that we get a 'no signal' message on our displays)? Both enabled on Chromebox doesn't cause the same issue.
