But why two same thread on xda redmi note 5?

And what the sidéré ce between note 5 and 5 pro?!

PLS HELP, THX

EDIT : NOTE PRO HAVE 625 SNAPDRAGON AND MISSING 4G BANDWICH I THINK
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] irfan.shikarpuri:
Redmi 5 plus code name Vince had 625

Redmi note 5 / pro has 636
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Redmi 5 Plus and Redmi Note 5 are basically same devices, maybe some difference in the bands, both have a processor SD625, R5+ called too R5P has a codename Vince and RN5 has a codename Whyred and was manufacturer for selling in India.

Redmi Note 5 Pro has processor SD636 and has many improvements comparing the other two.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] fallenguy98:
which means redmi note 5 ( indian vrrsion ) the codename is vince or not?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Redmi Note 5 is the same (not exactly) device than Redmi 5 Plus except for the bands enabled.

This device was made it for India to implement these required bands for this country, for this reason not being an exact same it has other codename that is Whyred.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Mubasher96:
Indian Redmi Note 5 is vince. Whyred is separate device. Whyred is sold in India as Redmi Note 5 Pro.

Redmi 5 Plus (China/Singapore/Pakistan etc) -> Redmi Note 5 (India etc) -> SD 625, single back camera -> code name "vince"

Redmi Note 5 (China/Singapore/Pakistan etc) -> Redmi Note 5 Pro (India etc) -> SD 636, dual back camera -> code name "whyred"

Fastest way to check which phone you have if your phone is named Redmi 5 Plus, Redmi Note 5 or Redmi Note 5 Pro is to check how many back cameras it have. If you have single back camera it is vince, if you have two back cameras it is whyred

As for bands supported all of these support 4G LTE but I'm not sure which bands each supports. There is variation in bands supported between different variants of vince itself. There are also different variants of whyred that support different bands.

---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 AM ----------

The device with codename whyred is a completely separate device. Indian Redmi Note 5 is in fact almost the same phone as Redmi 5 Plus and its codename is also vince.

Indian Redmi Note 5 is not whyred.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Mubasher96:
I never doubted anything you had to say about the Redmi 5 Plus and its bands. I'm sure you know much more about the different variants than me. This post was quite clarifying. But in your previous post I got the wrong impression as if you meant that the device being sold in India as the Redmi Note 5 has a codename of whyred. You didnt mean that but that was what I inferred from that post. So I wanted to clarify that though whyred is the Redmi Note 5 in China and other markets in India it is sold as Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Redmi 5 Plus is sold as Redmi Note 5 in India. And by saying that they are same devices I meant mostly similiar and for most purposes they are as in you can use the same recoverys and ROMs. Thankyou for your post as after the mess that Xiaomi has created in naming these devices it helped me alot in understanding.

Plus my post was really simplified for people who wanted to know which device they have to know which ROM to flash as I have seen many such people in the forums so I wrote that as simple as possible.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Oh welcome, Your summary is very clear. The error comes from Xiaomi.

A device can receive other name if it is for other country due most of times to bands added but for me is incorrect to call a device the same name for a country (Redmi Note 5 in China instead of Redmi Note 5 Pro) and the same name for other country but for other device (Redmi Note 5 in India but instead of Redmi Note 5 Plus Global).

I read that this problem with nomenclatures will be solved.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Mubasher96:
That is exactly the problem that they are selling two different devices with the same name in different markets. And both devices have a separate name as well. Hope it is solved soon. :good:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] raad.sobhan:
China redmi note 5 = global redmi note 5 ≈ Indian redmi note 5 pro( only camera is different)

Global or China redmi 5 plus = Indian redmi note 5
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] alimsona:
Indian redmi note 5 (single camera ) is Redmi 5 plus in china.

Indian Redmi note 5 pro (dual camera) is Redmi note 5 in china..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] raad.sobhan:
You could have just refrain from commenting than confusing some one with wrong info.....FYI there is no global redmi note 5 pro.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] alimsona:
There are 2 version of Redmi Note 5 pro , 1 for china (redmi note 5) and another for global (redmi note 5 pro).. kindly first search on youtube regarding this..then you will know
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] raad.sobhan:
Apparently you don't know what you are using! Or some third party retailer fooled you...official xiaomi sells pro varient only in India...there is a detail thread in MIUI forum from officials, you can learn more from there.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] alimsona:
Oh ok then its not global its indian version..now sounds better
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] kodorevi8ulis:
the question actually is ....

why xda has sections with names that are only specific for India ? :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Vink67:
Yes I really don't understand all of this complexe and useless name.

If I not mistake, I own a note 5 pro but in France it's call note 5!.

I have dual camera, B20 bandwidth, snapdragon 636.

I read note 5 have snapdragon 625 and less 4g bandwich. Note 5 is only the Indian version and note 5 pro the global.

INo?! I'm going crazy!!?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] xtro-xda:
I think because ReNo5 Pro (india) was released earlier than ReNo5 (CN/golbal)

yeah, just like others said, the naming this time was really confusing.

India : Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred, SD 636)

CN/Global : Redmi Note 5 (whyred, SD 636)

India : Redmi Note 5 (vince, SD 625)

CN/Global : Redmi 5 Plus (vince, SD 625)

so basically, there just 2 versions of Redmi Note 5, Indian version (RN5Pro) and CN/Global version (RN5)

so yeah, this forum is the correct one for your device

just make sure if u wanted to flash custom roms/mods, use the CN/Global version
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Ghoul159:
Coz they released whyred in India way earlier than China and Global. So xda made a placeholder with name Redmi Note 5 Pro. But seems like many global and china users want a separate section....they submitted a request to xda to separate RN5 Pro from RN5 China/Global. If you want to support that, then do so :)

For me, I'm fine with the name Redmi Note 5 Pro.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] kodorevi8ulis:
correct, but this was 2-3 months ago, can't the section renamed ?

[MENTION=7120843]Ghoul159[/MENTION] i don't believe that the problem is to have different sections for rn5 and rn5pro (the rn5 the world has, not the one for india :P )

but i believe that the section must renamed to something like Redmi Note 5/5 Pro cause the device is the same (cammera's different) and after the latest roms (i think) they have also all camera's drivers included

the confusing section is the other, the Redmi Note 5/5 Plus , this has to be renamed , to something like Redmi 5 Plus/Note 5 India (sorry but 5 plus is the first released device and also the name is for all countries except india)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Ghoul159:
The other one is already renamed to Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus. I don't know if they do this for pro too. But it's up to xda. And I just that said many global users are wishing to separate RN5 Pro altogether and create a new section for RN5 global/china users coz of slight hardware diff. This is kinda absurd imo. But I support changing name to Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Pro. It's possible only if more users submits a request to xda staff to change the name :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Vink67:
This confusing and no need complexity made me think of awful and silly name phone...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
OK, can you please confirm to us what your issue is?!?

confirm to us what SPL version is displayed when you MANUALLY enter bootloader mode.

Then please tell us what you are trying to do.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rock99rock:
3rd line of my post:

"When i intentionally put it in bootloader mode, it goes to SPL 2.03"

The thing is, i am tring to flash hard spl7, or Faria's new rom. When i use the "Use safe sspl" option after starting the ruu wrapper included with those files... it goes straight to spl-1.09 and hangs. Error 260.

I know error 260 is an open port, but I think that error is caused by the 1.090 bootloader. I have tried the upgrade from the sd card as well, but it also hangs once it gets to the 1.09 tri-color screen. I flashed shaps 4.40 rom the other day, it went straight to spl 3.00 with no issues. Whats up wit that?

Thank you for taking the time to help me with this problem. If you scroll up, you can see someone else from my copy/paste that was experiencing the same issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
Since there isnt any SPL3.00 for the hermes im dubious as to what you have tried flashing. Where did you download the ROM from?

when you run the SPL updater for HardSPLv7 from HERE there is only one option you can use which is "Force SSPL".....when your device runs the soft SPL it will display "SPL 1.09ds SSPL by Des" you need to make sure there are no firewalls running and also that your device has actually been detected by windows. If it isnt detected then swap USB ports and hopefully windows will reinstall the drivers for HTC USB sync.

Basically vista SUCKS and is probably what is messing it up.

If you still have no joy....use a PC with windows XP on it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rock99rock:
You were exactly right about Vista. I just tried it on the work computer and it went without a hitch. What a crock. I really appreciate your help. I am now spl-2.10 certified :) and running the Faria/Puttingham Rom.

VISTA FAILS

it flashed spl-3.00 last night when flashing the schaps 4.40 rom. I think i got it from this site, but i might have gone over my rapidshare for the day, so sometimes ill google the filename and get it elsewhere.. Ill see if i can replicate.
[MX Player] TheFixItMan:
Any chance of getting cdn-FastServer streams to work in mx player

They work fine in vlc & yesplayer

When playing a video from a cdn-FastServer on my phone mx player can play it but on the firestick it just eventually comes up with unable to play video

However vlc player (and others such as yes player) can play the stream on the firestick without issue

See below post for logs/error report
[MX Player] TheFixItMan:
Any reason why mx player won't play videos from cdn-FastServer

They play perfectly fine with vlc
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Could you please explain the issues in detail? It will be great if you can collect a bug report from MX Player help menu immediately after the issue.

NB: Kindly post the issues in a separate thread. Otherwise, It will be very difficult to track us.
[MX Player] TheFixItMan:
Here are the error logs (in attachment)

If I play a video that is hosted on a cdn-FastServer on my phone in mx player it plays fine but on my firestick the buffer circle just spins and eventually says cannot play this video

However if I open the same video stream in vlc on my firestick it plays fine meaning its not a firestick limitation but a problem with mx player playing these streams on a firestick
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's strange. According to the logs, HW Decoder which is based on the android mediaplayer API implementation in your firmware has failed to play with unknown error. And FFMpeg has returned with 404 (File not found). Both are completely independent. Need to check whether there is something that is intercepting or blocking the connection of MX Player.
[MX Player] TheFixItMan:
Any suggestions because like I said - the video plays fine in other players so it's not my Internet connection or anything on the firestick blocking it

MX player can play all other streams except from cdn-FastServer on the firestick

MX player can play cdn-FastServer streams on my phone

So there's something that mx player does differently on the firestick compared to my phone

The firestick is android 5 and my phone is android 7 both using the custom codec

So unless there are missing codecs that are native to android 7 & not 5 or just missing from the firestick I don't know what the difference is
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
are your Mobile and Firestick on the same network?

can you change the MX Player user agent (Check general Settings) to something like your mobile & check again?

FFmpeg should work as long as you are using the right version for your CPU architecture. If your CPU architecture is different, MX Player itself will show the error.

The logs from FFmpeg was clear that it has received 404. But, we couldn't reproduce it any of our devices. We have even directly tried FFmpeg command line version on desktops. It also works. Even if it's an FFmpeg fault, It will affect only HW+ & SW decoders. HW decoder is independent. As we said earlier, it's just a wrapper of android mediaplayer API implementation on your device. So, MX Player does not have many controls. But, It is also having the issues.

It is the clear indication that there is something that is preventing MX from connecting to the CDN. If it possible, can you use any debugging proxies & check the connection logs of yours firestick? In our tests, it receives 302 (Moved Temporarily along with the new URL) and then it connects to redirected URL properly.

If You clearly receives 404, then there might be some server configuration which might be preventing you from connecting to the server.
[MX Player] TheFixItMan:
Both firestick & phone are on same network

Both have exactly same settings in mx player

Both are arm v7 neon

It doesn't explain why other players can play the cdn link on the firestick but mx player can't

Surely if something was blocking the link it would block it across all players unless it was an app specific block & I have set up no such block of apps either individually or globally

Equally if there was a server configuration block I don't see why they would block mx player connecting & not other players on a firestick especially as it works on a phone

I don't know if this would help but Iv attached the log of vlc whilst playing the stream on the firestick
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
There are plenty of ways, a server could block a particular device or app.

Have you tried after changing the User Agent on MX Player to something like in your mobile or something generic like MXPlayer/1.9.24 ?

Unlike others, MX Player generates a unique user agent for every device model based on its build properties. If the CDN's redirect conditions block the particular UA string, then it could happen. As it works everywhere except Firestick, it could be a possible reason.
[MX Player] TheFixItMan:
Yes Iv changed it & it made no difference

Apart from the Android version & the build name they both use mozilla 5.0

I changed it to the generic string but it made no difference

Guess I'll just to use vlc for these streams
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Can you collect the network data using a debugging proxy? It will help us to understand better.
[MX Player] TheFixItMan:
Not sure if this exactly what you wanted as I can only use apps which I find (no pc)

Iv captured the packets whilst playing the stream in mx player & vlc

You can see that vlc redirects to a different server where as mx player fails to redirect & says file not found
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Thanks for your efforts.

In fact, MX has tried the redirected URL. It looks like a server side restriction as we have expected.

If you look at the #1 of MX & VLC get requests, both MX & VLC has sent a GET request for the same URL.

GET: /storage_movie/1/194057/cdn2_vidcdn_pro/movie/hoaphuong/Thang%206/1.6/Watch%20World%20of%20Dance%20-%20Season%202%20For%20Free%20On%20yesmovies.to.mp4
HOST: cdn.vidnode.net

If you look at the Server Reply, Both has returned with 302 (i.e redirection). But with the different target location

For VLC, the server has returned with a valid video URL which is same as what we are receiving on our mobiles.

Location: https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.9040-2/10000000_403505290165887_8647744692890370048_n.mp4?_nc_cat=0&efg=eyJybHIiOjIwMDUsInJsYSI6NDA5NiwidmVuY29kZV90YWciOiJzdmVfaGQifQ%3D%3D&rl=2005&vabr=1337&oh=70cdf02f8b7a517206ca3be7918d6a2e&oe=5B18F57C

But, For MX, the server has returned with a URL which does not exist.

Location: http://cdn16.micetop.us/cdn2_vidcdn_pro/movie/hoaphuong/Thang 6/1.6/Watch World of Dance - Season 2 For Free On yesmovies.to.mp4

Then both VLC & MX has tried whatever URL it has received. As VLC has received a valid URL, it has played the file. But, MX has received an invalid URL. So, it has failed to play.

Can you provide the actual source of the URLs?

MX Player API allows passing any HTTP headers which are required for the connection. The application which calls MX through intents sends the referer as "https://vidnode.net/". When MX Passes the received referer on the GET request, the server returns with the invalid redirection URL. If there is no referer is passed on the headers, server properly returns the valid URL.

So, there might be some configs on the server which decides the redirection URL based on the Referer. We are not sure whether it's intentional or mistake.

So, it is something that has to be fixed on the app which calls MX Player or on the server end. We can't drop the HTTP referer on the GET requests as it will break the apps that genuinely rely on it.

You can confirm this by directly inputting the URL on the MX Player's network stream option.

http://cdn.vidnode.net/storage_movie/1/194057/cdn2_vidcdn_pro/movie/hoaphuong/Thang%206/1.6/Watch%20World%20of%20Dance%20-%20Season%202%20For%20Free%20On%20yesmovies.to.mp4

If this works, Kindly contact the app developer of the parent app which is calling the MX.
[MX Player] TheFixItMan:
Yes inputting the stream directly into mx player alows it to work

So the app that calls mx player to play the link is doing something to stop it working

It's odd because on my phone that same app which calls mx player allows it to play fine

Thanks for your help
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
In fact, the calling app sends the full set of http headers to be used (including the user agent string). As the app has requested, It will be used on http connection despite your custom User Agent settings. You could see a Windows UA on the http logs.

As the invalid redirection URL also a media url, it could be even a conflict on server which is triggered when using the referer. So, we are not sure that whether intentionally done or not.

Btw, Can you specify the name of the app?

It will help us to provide a better support for those who has similar issues.
