It doesn't really matter which one, when hardware acceleration is enabled by default all streams will stutter. Even non-HD streams. Take note I have a 50 mbps fiber connection.

It's a big improvement but still not as smooth as playing a file from my external hard drive using the built in media player. Also in Kodi version 17.1 the buttons of the remote get mixed up. With the Kodi 17.0 Release Candidate okay pa yun remote buttons so I will try to stick with this version muna.

turn on SAMBA service (file share service ) on both units, you should see both in the network. you can later progress to NFS sharing or FTP as SAMBA file transfer service is rather slow between devices

Anya what player do you use when you play HDD files? When I use media player or file manager...and press MENU, I cannot download a subtitle...it says SUBTITLES FOUND 0. However when I use the KODI PLAYER as a media player and watching HDD FILES I can download subtitles. I'm confused! It's a lot easier to use media player and access subtitles by pressing MENU, but it seems not working for me. Any help would be a big help! Thanks!

Dre ,

try mo Rename movie file ng isang title as
Passenger (2016).mkv

Then use file manager (not media Player) to open video file

Then hit Menu Then subtitle download , (IT should pickup file name ) Then search subtitle you should See a lot


The alternatibo is to edit the text that auto fills the search box

Travel mode pa

Anya,

You can download subtitles on the fly while watching HDD files and KODI movies provided the subtitles are available.

Jim,

Thats what i call SUPERB AFTER SALES SUPPORT! Update on the USB 2.0...after the firmware reboot...it works flawlessly! I have yet to try what you said. Be safe bro. Be vigilant! Have a safe vacation as well as your trip back to Manila!

i met an av enthusiast a british based in barcelona sa cruise ship.

tama yung obserbasyon nya as he has a himedia too in his cabin.

in a nutshell:

kodi has expert mode and some with auto rename options based on folder names, or rename file name based on folder name

which tidies up the folder and file name for subtitle searches ,  but the flipside is you lose the audio format we find in the native DL

so choose settings wisely

Been curious to try the several updates/mods available in the futeko forum re: Q5/Q10.

Currently the Official FW has the following issues that annoyed me at first:
- HiMedia Player as Wrapper player in Kodi
- Kodi 16.1 for Android 5.1 and Kodi 17.2 for Android 7 is not the latest version.
- 4K HDR videos have aspect ratio resolution issues (code named : "Lucy" problem in the forums)
- HiMedia Player is so boring
- MX Player Pro can be downloaded but does not appear in apps
- Kodi DVD player cannot pass through HD audio sometimes.

So.. to address all of these I found the following mods:
- MX Player Pro replacing HiMedia Player as default player
- Custom Firmware 2.0.1

Now I have:
- a snappier OS,
- MX player is my default player, but library is controlled through Kodi interface
- correct 4K HDR resolution and HD Audio passthrough

HTH!
