Yeah i know... Seeing as I don't have or intend getting a 4K TV anytime soon, plus no much 4K content out there as yet anyway... I overlooked such. I'm giving 4K tech about 5 more years to develop both hardware and software, by then, better boxes and TVs will be produced... Did the external player tweak work?

OK, so I decided to put the H8 up for sale so that I can get a Minix X8-H Plus instead. Those interested can PM me.

Hi

Right now I cannot run Chrome.

I keep getting the error "Chrome failed during startup with unexpected error"

I have uninstall, reinstalled, cleared cache, clear data. Many times. Still same problem.

This is annoying, please assist.

Tempted to do a factory reset, getting frustrated

Anyone experience this before? Any Ideas?

Perhaps the latest Chrome version is buggy with the box? Get a hold of an older apk file, might work. Alternatively, just use a different browser for now till another update. Factory reset should be a last resort.

are you installing via playstore or apk?

i just installed on an old unit after reset (too much garbage in there after 2 yrs).

used and apk backuped from another unit, ok.

Installing from playstore. It runs after installation but after rebooting, it can no longer run.

Now when I access playstore, its says no connection. But i can surf on firefox (albeit with problems of its own)

Feel like pulling my hair outtttt

I tried using another browser, firefox keeps on saying my line is not secure and wont load the page. Omg

from yr description, i am quite sure there was recently a firmware update, either manual or auto-online.

after firmware update, you must do a manual google patch update to get google-playstore-chrome-gmail-youtube working properly.

this is because china manufacturer firmwares do not cater to google stuff as it is banned in china.

u need to get hold of the right version google patch from your seller, install it.

Hi. I bought himedia Q6II. The unit functions flawlessly for several month until this week. Now when i switch it on, tv screen didnt show anything. Only black screen appears. My tv response also becomes slow and laggy. Anyone knows the solution?

The only way I could fast forward is to turn on mouse mode using the remote, then move the mouse pointer to the video progress bar and position it to the point i want and click on it.

Seems no way to enter a time period to fast forward to.

Could someone recommend which HiMedia model is suitable for functioning as a bittorrent client? The setup I have in mind is to have it connected to an external hard disk to download the torrents into.

It will be connected to the internet using Ethernet. Are there models which can work with a wired USB keyboard/mouse?

most if not all models can do the torrent thing. just you install the app, set the path right.

keyboards... this one is tricky. since not all wireless keyboards work well, it should be same with wired. do check with seller.

but for wireless mouse, ordinary ones will work.

Himedia Q5II with latest firmware.

problem:
dialogue too soft music too loud. even the ambient sound like rain are louder..... holy sheet..

any solution?

when streaming? which app? or usb playback?

it shouldn't be. i hv been thru firmwares 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, no diff.

but do press the vol control on yr remote to see if it somehow went to low.

Are you playing surround movie with stereo speaker?

i googled "soft dialogue loud music" and there are many ppl having this problem too.

what user suggest is turn on Dynamic Range Compression, but i don't see my q5ii player have this setting available for user.

I'm using default player. play from usb. firmware 1.0.9.

what speaker are you using?

last time my player direct RCA to crt tv and use the tv speaker as output, no such problem.

then after that i change to monitor speakers, krk rokit rp6 g2, this problem appear, noticeable but still ok lar.

now i downgrade to edifier r1280t, the problem is more obvious now.

the weird is it has no prob at all when playing audio file like mp3. using default player too.

i didn't install any third party player or equalizer or anything. it's running stock app at all.
yes im using stereo speaker.

i googled, and i was too, thought that this is the causes.

but when I check my video file, the audio is just 128kbps stereo audio...

q5ii has 4 types of audio output:

1. hdmi (highest quality, hd audi pass thru)
2. coaxial (rca, digital but limited to dts/dolby, cannot pass thru hd audio)
3. toslink (digital but limited to dts/dolby, cannot pass thru hd audio)
4. left/right (rca, lowest quality, stereo only)

i do not know the speakers u r using but i think the issue is with the use of these speakers via l/r stereo input. perhaps u can check the speakers manual, see if there is control on the audio mix output for yr files.

i am using several connections - hdmi/tv, hdmi/home theater, toslink/hometheater, coaxial/home theater. i am not using rca l/r.

Sometimes source encoding / down mix sucks...

Your MP3 plays OK...so your movie source is the likely problem.
