Thank you. I really appreciate your feedbacks. I will check again the firmware version. From my previous Google, it seem like the latest firmware also not really solve the problem. I read a lots of user bad experiences for this model. I will try to check new android box spec and user review.

Sometimes the apps you install / uninstall can cause instabilities...

Try full reset...check before you start populating it again

So of the China firmware have the google already...just need to check properly...

Here you go...

Thank you. Really appreciate it. I believe it is a single core but not really sure whether it Chinese or international. Current firmware is 1.1.4xxx and I found on the internet a list of firmware which number 1.1.6xxx.

However I believe the box is same as link below.

We MUST be sure...not just believe that it's this "box" else doom from start...

Also need exact match for firmware version to be double sure.... 1.1.4xxx won't do it...

We can rule out the 4th generation, probably the 3rd too...that leaves 2 version to check...

I think these are it. If AVFAN can confirm any of the versions will help double confirm. These are for single core, 1GB ram, 4GB rom, Q5.

The firmware list I got is from their Chinese website, for their Chinese market Q5.

I don't know if they have an international market Q5. I don't know if there is any difference in the firmware.

The firmwares may or may not be interchangeable...

It will decode H.265 Main Profile@L5.0 High-tie

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Jun 5 2017, 06:52 PM)
Hevc or h265 has been around for a few years.
There have been many versions.
Yr box android 4.4 can play older versions of h265, not the current versions.
This applies to many other boxes of same age and android version.

Consider a new box, q5pro or q10pro, they will play anything, afaik.
*
There's not a current vs old version...just different profiles...they are all current...

Dual HDMI output is an important feature for high end ULTRA HD bluray player, oppo 203, Samsung K8500, Panasonic UB900/700 all have dual HDMI output.

Why do you say it's important?

Edit: OK I saw your purple text...i see where you're going...it's not the primary reason...but ok...

Oppo UDP-203, 1 x HDMI in, 2 x HDMI out, best picture and audio, high end media player. just the price is not friendly cry.gif

AVFAN I won't get new amp, because get a new amp to surpass my current amp audio capability, it will be too costly, and I love my current Anthem amp. laugh.gif

I tot you might have an oppo...

Can try Q5 to oppo hdmi in? Your Oppo hdmi1 to JVC, hdmi2 to amp?

I accidentally just learn that whilst in the default Apps menu...pressing menu on the remote allows you to set the highlight app to auto launch during start up!

Wasted so many mouse move/keystroke for the past few years... cry.gif

Ya.. Till date, when in a shopping mall.. I have to make a very conscious decision to look away when approaching the TVs section. Cannot be poisoned.. not yet.. C'mon OLED, get cheaper..

I hope I'll not be too late to grab them then. No worries, I'll just ship me NAS to you and clone your collection.. laugh.gif
