I used Audio Manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...iowidget&hl=en

It lets me change the settings for the various sounds, ie alarm, media, ringer, system etc... as well as select different sounds for each also.

Thanks for looking in to the Archos/MX Player subtitles thing.
Yes, I have the Minix Neo A2. I don't mind switching sound devices every time.

Is there a way to turn off system sound effects? (like when moving around the icons or in the keyboard), or at least different volume control for system effects and sounds from apps?

1. sorry a lot, but if you have a remote with a speaker inside, the best we can do for now is select hdmi output instead the remote speaker.

About archos with mxplayer, I will try the subtitles and try to find a solution.

Re: [ROM] QUICKSHOT V3.1 by The Nitro Team for Minix Neo X7

Hello! I am very new at this.

First, thanks to the Nitro Team for this Rom.

I have two boxes: one Xtreamer Multiconsole and a Minix Neo X7.
Archos video player is very smooth playing videos using the MC, but it crashes a lot.

On the Minix, using 010 FW, Archos plays really bad. Camera movements are made like step by step.

I also have an Apple TV using Infuse and the same file plays fine also.

I am trying now QS 3.1 on the Minix and the box feels a lot better, I only have two things to report:

1. Audio device selection is not kept after a restart. I have to change it to optical every time the box is restarted. It defaults to the first option (don't remember which one is).

2. My other problem is still with Archos, it may be an issue with them, but the app plays well on the MC, using the same file and MX Player plays the movie perfectly on QS3.1.

I have a dilema here. I like the Archos UI (movie and series covers and info) and the user friendly videos search over the network, etc. The player has an option to use another video player, which would solve my problem, I could just navigate on Archos and then play the file on the MX Player. The problem is that subtitles are not loaded when I play in MX from Archos. If I play the file using MX Player alone, the subtitle is loaded fine.

Is there a way to make the MX Player load the subtitles when launched from Archos?

Any help would be appreciated.

After a few weeks on QS 3.1 I am really satisfied with the stability and speed of my X7,
previous firmwares (even QS 2 ) cannot even be compared to it...

There are a few issues though, probably due to the underlying Android (4.4.2) and kernel
(3.0.36+) versions which I understand are not the best combination (as Minix wrote on their Facebook page on Jan 2 and other KK firmware developers, e.g. genny, confirmed).
For example, the built-in VPN (L2TP IPSec) client in KK does not work, both on the X7
and on all 4.4.x devices (including Nexuses).
This is a well-know problem that Google has not solved so far.

Dear Nitroteam, what's up your sleeve ? A more recent and capable kernel ?

Now we have not any improvement in kernel to make a new patch, we have some minor stuff to add to the rom, we will try to add them in a update package.

QS 3.1, 4.4.2 and kernel version

Trying this rom and wasser today, after using justXBMC... justXBMC puts out 1080p @ 60hz just fine... Wasser and Quickshot 3.1 both do too, except there are lots of pixels that flicker. The whole screen stays, but pixels will appear white or green or some other color, all over the screen distorting it. Any ideas on how to fix?

There are probably several possible causes...

If you've OC'd the system too much for it to be stable... always stress test after selecting an OC kernel. The default kernel shouldn't cause any trouble for a device with good hardware and also runs smoothly.

The file in question may be at fault... always do these tests with a file that is on the local drive to make it consistent and to ensure that isn't caused by a bad stream ( which is common with an internet source ).

Different players may also be using different codec's to decode the video... so one player may play a particular video that was encoded a certain way just fine and another may not just because the codec being used may not be as good for that file type. As an example... the included MX player ( and codecs ) are probably the best you can get usually... but I do have a file that crashes it on one of my other devices but plays perfect in the XBMC I have on the same device... on my Neo x7... the same file works fine in MX player... In this case there is nothing wrong with any of the softwares or devices... it's just a compatibility that shows up on a particular codec on that one device... so I use a different player to view it.

Re: [ROM] QUICKSHOT V3.1 by The Nitro Team for Minix Neo X7

I'm sorry if you understand my answers this way, that's not the way i want my messages to be understood. I really feels that langage and cultural differences led to misunderstandings.

Leolas answers are clear enough for me and i think they close the discussion: my problem is very specific and this rom can't handle this case.

Even if my problem can't be resolved I want to thank Leolas and the Nitro team for their great job, and i'm sorry if you felt any critisism or lack of goodwill in my messages that was not the intention.

No problem man, thanks for try the rom, and sorry we can't resolve your problem, but change the way that device works with the screen is out of my possibilities, we can adjust some parameters in the hdmi, mod a bit the code, but we can't rewrite it.

I can say... they are full of it... or at the least have absolutely no idea of what they are taling about... it's useless to try to explain it to someone that doesn't listen or want to actually learn

PS3 don't have resolution between 720p and 1080p (if i forgot interlaced resolutions), and plugged with my PS3 my monitor menu says input stream is 1080p. With minix plugged my monitor says input stream is 720p.

Sorry, if you dont have a 1080p capable screen attached, you will not got 1080p with this rom, and I don't know if it can be done with other kk rom

[rdsok]

My screen is able to display an 1080p input stream since my PS3 is configured in 1080p. Ok the visual result is not real 1080p because my screen can't display 1080 lines but only 1050. But the fact i want to point is that my screen can handle 1080p input stream (by downscaling it to a resolution with a width of 1680 pixels and a height of 1680/(16/9)=945 pixels, which is far better than 720p).

My screen internal software may report it is not able to handle 1080p, but that's not true since when i send 1080p to my screen i have an image, and i agree this image is not a real 1080 lines image but it's neither a 720 lines image, it's in fact a 945 lines image (1080p downscaled to my screen native resolution).

An other way to see my problem is : PS3 can send a 1080p image to my screen, why minix can't ?

No it isn't... your PS3 is scaling it back to a resolution that your monitor supports... it isn't real 1080p it is less.

The kernels used with the Androids don't have resolutions between the 720p and the 1080p... so you only get the highest resolution that your monitor ( and the kernel ) will support which is 720p

[kRel]

One last time... it can not force your screen to display a resolution it doesn't support... end of story. It can display 1080p IF the screen is capable of it... or the next highest resolution it supports is 720p.

If you can't understand that... then the issue is only with your understanding of it, it can't be explained less technically.

There must be a reason hardware, so if I connect my minix to my 50 'full HD appears the inscription 1920x1080 and if I connect it to my monitor 27 "for PC with HDMI input, the monitor alerts 1280x720 ...

daemonium has almost ready the patch, but we are very busy this week, we will made an update when we have some free time.

Ok! Thanks anyway for all that you do.
If I knew where to put my hands, I'd gladly help
