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..

Hi guys,

Wana buy 1 box for chinese channel,

Seller recommend himedia q1,
But which box should i get can help?

Ty

for chinese (mandarin, not cantonese) stuff, himedia players are good.

the q series been around for a few years.

i have not used a q1 before but it should do.

however, it is always better to buy the more popular models so that it is easier to find firmware updates and have forums where users share tips and other info.

i believe over the last 1 yr, q5iii, q16 and h8 octa are more popular but they could cost a bit more.

do ask your seller.

I got Himedia H7 from taobao, it is in chinese firmware. Found out that H7 firmware is for chinese market and Google Playstore cannot be install.

Anybody know if I can install English firmware on H7 so that I can use Google?

all himedia players direct from china cannot do google, youtube or playstore - google banned in china.

however, there are google patches you can install to get them working.

which is why it is impt to buy popular models and from reliable local sellers where you can get them.

i do not know if you can find the right patch online anywhere.

last resort, you can try contacting local sellers and see if they are willing to help you.

Same file system on the HD as last time? Perhaps the external HD wasn't dismounted properly and needs a disk check. Use a PC.. Last resort, backup contents on the HD & reformat. All still fails, then redo the firmware update on the box & or factory reset..

Hi all, thinking of getting q5.... But is there really different models q5 ii and q5 iii and q5 iv ?

Is there difference?
