HPH RK3288 KitKat ROM v1.7 by mo123

[mo123]

well im using now Mo.... the dogs bollocks.... smooth as silk

The best 4K 80mbps playback on RK3288 devices
Where other devices stutter, this ROM plays the same videos fine on HPH devices.

I'm really disappointed in all the RK3368 boxes I've seen so far.
Very little quality control, and the basic things that should work like video playback has lots of problems.
And then companies just forget about fixing those problems and move on to other chips like AMLogic, MStar, Intel & then back to Rockchip.
Rockchip actually produces very good CPU's, but the manufacturers combine it with other lower quality components that cause bottlenecks and don't optimize the firmware, very sad.

At least the new HPH RK3368 will also be of high quality and people will see that spending a little more money is worth it in the long run, than saving a few bucks and having lots of problems afterwards.

I have installed a variety of Xposed modules and none have affected use or video playback that I can denote.

After flashing i rooted then ran exposed installer but i found the exposed modules not useful for me (root cloak-fake id and such )
If you only care about video playback do you have to install exposed framework or the exposed modules to get the maximum video performance ?

No, Xposed modules are only extras for people that use it.
It doesn't affect video playback.

Hi mo123
I haven't any problem with beta hph 1.5.3 with passthrough mxplayer switch on hw and passthrough is ok native player and spmc too.my problem was stutter with 4k file and some 1080p mkv file and dts hd audio passthrough was not working hd audio (downmix to dts)
in open hour 1.0.27 with mx player<1.7.32 with hw decoder I had passthrough with dts dd and hd audio but mxplayer>1.7.32 not .it switch was on sw or hw+ which not support passthrough.I don't know why?my problem was stutter with 4k and some mkv's file and bluetooth wasn't working.

Youtube - The included Youtube app also have 1080p support. Have to go into settings and set 1080p for wifi streaming and 'enable all resolutions' then it will work. Otherwise it will only show 720p.
But Youtube from the Play Store has 1080p automatically, if floating window support and download option is not necessary.

SPMC - That version from the link is now merged with Kodi.
So lots of problems people had with SPMC will be fixed as it's official Kodi but with SPMC's Mediacodec support.
In Kodi settings, enable expert settings, acceleration - only enable Mediacodec and in video settings enable 'sync display to video' to change TV resolution to best match the playing video for smoother playback.

I think my ROM now has the best RK3288 Kodi video playback.
If only manufacturers could sell devices that already work so well instead of full of bugs.

I have found that the best video playback is with all 3 enabled.

With just mediacodec there can still be some stutter.

I am surprised that the manufacturers and vendors don't approach people such as yourself and employ you as contractors to help them make better ROM's.

It's not as if they cannot afford it and better software results in more sales.

For MXPlayer, go into settings, decoder and enable H/W+ for all.
Then videos will play with H/W+ support and not SW. H/W doesn't work on all devices, but H/W+ is much better.
The native Video app is very basic and not a lot of people use it. It doesn't work at the moment but will try to fix it and find out what the cause is.
Have to download external codec and enable it in MXPlayer to get DTS/AC3 Passthrough audio.

Don't know if all receivers will work correctly with passthrough, can't remember if I included a patch.
Will fix it in a new ROM if there are lots of problems.

Try using latest Kodi merged with SPMC and enable expert settings and at acceleration, disable rkstagefright and keep Mediacodec enabled.

Can also enable sync to display in video settings. If you have a modern TV, the TV will change resolution to the video playing eg. 1080p @ 24fps, 1080p @ 30fps, 1080p @ 60fps etc.
Can also use an advancedsettings.xml file for Kodi to cache more to RAM for streaming issues like buffering.
There is also work underway to have HD Audio passthrough support with new codecs in Kodi for Android.
Video playback is great. Press 'o' to see video file info for video playing.
All the 4k video files people had problems with play fine for me without any dropped frames.

thanks for reply but I have teac ag-d500 amp and want to passthrough to it and in mode hw+ in mxplayer passthrough is not working just pcm or stereo sound works.
with latest kodi with advancedsetting.xml I can,t have passthrough with spdif and hami bitstream.

Just tried the ROM and can confirm that video playback is as close to perfect as I have seen yet out of the box so to speak and the version of SPMC posted works wonderfully.

1080p Youtube gives the best playback yet and with just about no stuttering whatsoever.

Everything is zippy too.
