Guys, I need some help here.....why my HiMedia Q16 box didn't show external subtitle (.srt) when playing video from pendrive?

I try to play the video from PC using media player classic, the subtitle is shown but when try to play from HiMedia Q16, the subtitle didn't show......any1 know how to fix this??

check the srt file name is same as the main file but ends with .srt.

if it is not, change that on pc.

if it works on pc, it should work on yr device if the name is correct.

Already chk...the same is totally same with .srt behind......chk at my laptop playing using media player classic is OK....

The subtitle is display but when bring to play at the android box, the subtitle didn't appear.....

Then no choice have to bring my laptop and connec to my TV to play the movie........it's troublesome....

Typically, that should work. What media player did you use on the box? Perhaps needed to enable subtitles display in its settings or try another like MX Player.

try another srt from another source for same file.

try another file with srt.

if all of them don't work, it is a special problem.

if so, i suggest u contact yr seller for help.



himedia players have superior codecs, plays more video-audio-sub formats than most players.

i hv not seen this problem in my himedia players.

Hi guys, I have a Himedia Q5ii I bought about 2 years ago, updated to 1.0.7 last year. All this while no problem, suddenly this morning cannot switch on. Still have lights on the button and network ports blinking, but the LED display and HDMI output nothing.

Any troubleshooting tips? Or time to get new one?

led display losing some dots is possible.

but if whole display gone and hdmi no output, not a good sign.

try checking the connections again.

last resort, consider flashing the unit and reinstall firmware 107 with the restore pin - but this will erase everything inside - hope u hv backup.

if no good, then likely hardware failure.

which will the first case i know of.

i have q5ii >2 yrs, still very good.

I don't have any problems reinstalling the firmware, as most of my stuff are in external HDD anyway. What's a restore pin? I know how to use recovery on phones for rooting etc but android TV is just... alien to me...

I'd love to continue using my q5ii, very reliable up to now!

at the side of the device where the usb slots are, there is a pin hole labeled "restore".

insert a usb drive with the firmware at root level.

when ready, push a pin or toothpick into that restore and hold it while u turn device on.

this method to erases everything in it, install fresh firmware.

after that, u need to to reinstall the apps from a backup if u hv one.

Thanks for the help bro. I've tried this and still nothing. Just weird sounds coming from the player. I guess it's time to say goodbye to my Q5ii.. thanks for all the good times we had.

i am using q6II. after using it for more than 1 year without any issue, now when i turn the player on, my tv can detect the HDMI connection but the tv screen is black. no signal, no picture and no sound at all. i reconnect the hdmi to the other ports the but it still same. i read somewhere that himedia has some issue withe their HDMI connection. has anybody face the same problem like me?

Tried other HDMI cables and preferably on another TV or HDMI input device? Need to eliminate that its truly the box's hardware.

do u see the lcd display on at the q6ii?

if no, likely device hardware failure.

if yes, then more likely problem is with hdmi cable or the connections.

try a different cable.

Personally, I won't be interested in it due to the following reasons.
*No H.265 support
*Page doesn't seem to state what OS its actually running.
*Most Android boxes already support "NAS-type" features. However, better get a dedicated NAS system for better performance.
*Uncertainty about hardware decoding and acceleration.
*Uncertainty about HD audio pass-through feature.
*Minimum Order: 1000 Pcs...

Summarily, if you can look past the above and the price sounds reasonable to you... Pull the trigger and come leave a review later..
