That's seems strange because when you press o in film playback you get the same output as kodi.

Nothing to stop them writing a similar player - but presumably they can keep it closed source as it is 'external'?

are you able to convert the mkv files to iso ?

hdmkv · 2015-11-09, 01:04

Sure, easy to do with tsMuxeR.

Very easy to use.

Just Add the Mkv
Then select Blu-ray ISO as output.
Done..

Only issue you may run into is TrueHD, if you don't have the separate core AC3 track. In this case, follow guide here to create a thd+ac3 track that tsMuxeR will accept.

No, it is custom Kodi.
No, it's their closed-source rkffplayer with a Kodi wrapper. It's basically the same as an external player, but with the Kodi gui.

Here is a Kodi debug log while playing a 3D ISO on Zidoo X6 firmware 1.0.22 (the latest). I see librkffplayer.so at lines 688 & 689. Is this the external player that you have mentioned?

Does kodi link to that library? ldd should tell you.

How do you do that on Android?

Ahh ok I thought we were talking linux, not sure on android.

Looks like I will have to learn Java to find that out Smile

Hello guys,

I used for one year minix x8hplus. Now it was broken so I'might wondering what is at the moment the best 4k player. I used it with a 4k TV with 1080 or 4k input.

Thanks for your support

If you are coming from an AMLogic S812-H platform and are now used to silky smooth 24p video output without 3:2 pulldown judder then the best 4K players at the moment are the nVIDIA Shield, the soon to be released WeTek Core and the Intel Braswell platforms.

Maverikkk · 2015-11-10, 16:57

First of all thank you for support.
Nvidia shield is my favourite hw but it'seems expensive 250€.
Do you have some suggestion for a cheaper hw? Under 150€

I have already mentioned it, and it should be out pretty soon. Take the conversation to the following thread before we hijack this one any further.
