How to feedback the multimedia issues?

You'd better provide the following:

1.The HDMI resolution;
2.The clip or the video/audio info from Mediainfo;
3.The media player you use,Mxplayer or xbmc or stock Player or else;
4.Source: SD card (FS) / HDD (FS) / LAN / WiFi (....)
5.The more detailed description.

Sorry, I only find the guide in German

But e.g. google translate helps a little bit

EDIT
------------------------------------------------

Determine technical and tag data for video and audio files:

http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo

I prefer to use 'MediaInfo Lite' (Integrate with MS-Windows shell (drag 'n' drop, and Context menu))

http://www.codecguide.com/download_other.htm

(http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/deta...info_lite.html)

------------------------------------------------

If you want to upload parts of a video which not playing smooth, use e.g.
MKVToolNix => https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
AVI editor / AVI Trimmer + MKV => http://www.solveigmm.com/en/products/avi-trimmer-mkv/

[no_spam_for_me]

Independently of what/which files and/or sources you will test I suggest the following kind of documentation:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

TV at 1080P@60Hz (fps)
1. Stock Player
2. (Stock) XBMC (xyz)
3. MX Player xyz

After quick test, live streaming 1080i video with h264 format at between 4Mbps and 6Mbps has no errors. This is using wifi 802.11g since I can not get the Ethernet to connect.

[clarkss12]

Have not been able to get any sound from this box yet. Ethernet still does not connect, even though it shows up in my router.

sound is working fine via hdmi and spdif passthrou for me
but ac3 is not correctly passed throu, my av receiver gets no dolby signal

//EDIT:
to make ac3 work in xbmc i had to enable ac3 transcode in xbmc expert settings, for some reason that doesnt enable when you set ac3 passthrou xD

im very happy with dolby digital
grab some ac3 trailer from here and have fun


i asked you in the other thread too if you disabled wifi to make ethernet work...

in some other thread ive read that they changed some files in other tv boxes to make ac3 work.. i have to find that..

i asked you in the other thread too if you disabled wifi to make ethernet work...

Yes, I disabled WiFi. Does your Ethernet connect?

[sync]

yes ethernet is working

but allcast receiver doesnt show in allcast app

[clarkss12]

Got Ethernet working, still no audio. Everything is so small, hard to read, setting huge icons. This is with 1080p. This box is fast.

how did you do it? in case of someone else having the same problem...
yeah i do need my glasses too ^^

ahh i see you switched the cable

[Yusi]

Does DTS passthrough work?

[TMx]

XBMC VU+/Enigma2 PVR CLIENT working quite good with VU+ DUO2 Satellite Receiver....

despite Up/Down key Zapping still not a single crash

Giga Lan makes a huge difference thats for sure!

[oman]

What I am expecting is a full review for Multimedia playback with different Players(xbmc/Internal player....) from different sources...

[Catadarius]

Oman,
For me with preinstalled xbmc i have some bugs:

With every movie from the addons, after 10sec it stops for half second , and then plays.

In the genesis addon, on the box office year it's not showing me recent years(2012,2013,2014). It stops at 2011. Other devices shows regular. Anybody can confirm this

[no_spam_for_me]

Please can you give more information which add-on/plug-ins and what they do/can and maybe at which source the problem exist...
e.g.
"XBMC Genesis Add-on" - movie and TV sources
