Yes, please make the Android 7 OTA comes ASAP. 

Q16 quad core CV100 already in the market 2 years +, latest firmware is 304. Every OS upgrade require thousands of test cycles not including coding modification. I do not think Himedia will invest the effort for the device released two years ago.

Q16 CV100 originally designed for Hong Kong market, therefore the firmware come with Google Play Store. In 2016, Q16 CV200 released for China market as Q16 4th generation, the firmware do not have google play because Google is not allow in China. Please don't confused between Q16 CV100 and Q16CV200, both are different chipset. I'm not sure what is the impact if you apply CV200 firmware to CV100 chipset as CV200 is 64 bits and CV100 is 32bit chipset.

HUHUHUHU!! Waiting for my turn 

U hv a new uhd tv, playing larger files, streaming online.

For that, u should get a premium box rather than a low end one.
Since u asked in this himedia thread, i will suggest u get the q10pro:
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2807510&hl=
There is a small brother version, the q5pro but is 2/8 gb, less memory.

This box is the top of the range for the brand.
2/16 gb, 3d, 4k 60fps, hdr10, 10bit, hevc265, ddatmos, dtsx.
If your playback files are such, the player can handle all of it.
It comes with android 7 and Kodi 17.
With kodi, u can stream 4k and hevc265 videos too.

About audio, if u can, get a real home theater system with a 4k hdr pass thru avr.
Soundbars wont give u the best audio results.

There are a few q10pro users here, with their reviews ane comments, check them.
I will get on hands on it later in the week, will, write something after i have used it for a few days.
Expecting to be good with previous q16 and q5ii experience.

is this considered premium box other than nvidia shield? i'm searching to replace my wdtv live. main purpose is to play fullhd(mostly) and 4k movies from my 3tb hdd to my uhd tv. my laptop can't handle 4k movies.

not sure what u mean...?

q5/q10pro does NOT come with mangotv.
u just install the green mangotv like any apk.
the gold color of the mango will become green, everything else the same, that's all.

when u get the chance and if your AVR has atmos and dtsx, try it on q5/q10pro!

It won't install on my phone I tried...

guys, if u haven't tried, check out popcorn time 2.9.

set player to himedia player, u get DD audio if the link is such.

this app is best with 2/16gb boxes; 2/8gb may lack storage to do some of the links.

Search include "2.9"...so easy

Endorsed by the original developers...

All hints given

Research could also throw up a xxx fork

i am not sure but i remembered IFLIX does not work on Q16.

IFLIX works on Q10pro.

get it from playstore.

IFLIX now has a very limited selection in HD - they are labeled "HD".

they come out fine on Q10pro, 720 quality, possibly helped by the Imprex engine.

Try it!

I tried iflix long time ago on Q16...it works, played 10 minutes to test... out of curiosity I tried again last month and it launched but could not get it to play...don't know why and I didn't troubleshoot further...

i truly remembered there were issues with iflix on q16 - it worked, then it didn't.

tried it again version 2.18.0-2982.... it works on q16 too, now.

BUT... it works better on Q10pro - smoother, faster, marginally better PQ, maybe due to Imprex engine.

and yes, i am sure those "HD" are HD or at least close to it.

although there is no clear indication like in netflix, one can always tell by playing those labeled HD and then those not labeled HD - big diff.
