Been comparing between Q3II and Q5II. But just notice that Q5II is 2012 product. hmm.gif

Is there any newer product similar to Q5II specs and price?

The official himedia-tech.com a lot of error. When change to english version, many items could not be viewed. sweat.gif

what app to use for playing video with DTS support?
i tried vlc, bs player, even mx player after i install the custom codec still cant support dts sound
*
DTS decoder is licensed and CPU dependent if use hardware decode. Generic free player will not support DTS.

Please use Himedia Native player which you already paid for DTS.

kodi is the new name, old name was xbmc.

it is not easy to get it working well, but all of us started from nothing.

read this thread in full, seek help.

Agreed, we all start from ground zero. The more effort you put, the more you get.

Beginner could start with TVADDONS.AG(old name xbmchub) to configure your Kodi :

There are too many Kodi addons, put some effort to test you might get some surprises. Don't forget to share if you found good addons.

yes it worked with xbmc but Frodo Tegra version...the seller provide me the apk... but now i am looking for kodi latest version and it doesn't work..maybe my unit is not compatible..

thanks for advice

Q5 1st generation is none neon compatible, it does not meet the Kodi minimum requirement. Therefore you could only run XBMC none neon version in Q5 1st generation. Q5 II and later has no problem with Kodi 14.x

Below link included basic Android hardware requirement :

AFAIK...only china rom is available for himedia...

Bro, if you got it locally some time ago, most probably from me. Just give me the buyer email address for verification, we could extend our customer repository to you with all firmware version and APK files for all major streaming apps.

Hi, I've not been accessing cloudTv for a while until today to try something. Surprisingly the Market app icon has appeared after launching cloudTv. The only things that I did  extra is assign an email account ang login to playstore before launching cloudtv. Hope this help you too.

After purchasing a package, I face another problem, all the station just show a black screen without sound and picture when I launch the station. Now am looking for a solution.
*
Quick solution is goto CloudTV Setting -> untick cloud TV default player, the next streaming will prompt you the player, choose MX player or other 3rd party player.
P/S:Don't choose CloudTV player.

Long term solution is upgrade to latest firmware version.

Hi Nicety,

Thanks for your advice, will try your solution tonight.

Btw, is there any specific new firmware version for my box? Or I can update the one recommended in previous postings? My box info is as follow:

Brand: HiMedia
Model number: Q5EN.2000
Android version: 4.4.2
Kernal version: 3.10.0_s40
Build number: HMD-1.0.7 2014-11-25.114531

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Ah Wah.

107 is not the latest version, always get firmware from the seller or Himedia website. Firmware is zip file, could be easily inject with malware and spyware, pls don't get from unknown source.

i really don't know but... i think it's just the way a small china co. works - focus on china and chinese, not ready to expand in a major way internationally and in english. so, they probably just appoint a few distributors worldwide and let them do their thing. but i can say there are distributors/sellers here and elsewhere that do a damn good job in what you described (that's how i get all my good stuff tongue.gif) and why i always say "buy from a seller who can support you". but not all sellers work that way since some sellers sell all kinds of other stuff, not focused on one or a few devices, no time/motivation to service customers since u can't make money in after sales on a device that cost rm400-500 only.

also, there are online purchase sites, even here in lyn where u buy and be on your own!

himedia will get there, will take time for them to have a strategic plan, maybe partner with some int'l iptv provider, hire the right people.

i do not know what device manufacturers have good sites for on-going support. but i do know ac ryan is one of them. minix probably does a good job since it is hong kong based and would probably have started with an international/english sales plan from day 1.

this android box biz must be a cut throat one - there are hundreds of brands - from usa, china, brazil, south africa, probably russia, estonia, hungary, etc. too.... biggrin.gif
*
The key reason is Himedia do not have good English speaking/writing engineer, they merely depend on oversea re-seller to support oversea customers. It is up to the re-seller to maintain the firmware repo.

Similarly, MINIX do not have enough good English speaking engineer in HK and China, they are depend on oversea re-seller to moderate the MINIX forum as well.

You can install but unable to play the movies in iflix. It is the same for all Himedia model, I have sent the APK file to Himedia months ago, unfortunately Himedia unable to find any solution so far.

For the time being Minix Neo U1 able to play iflix.

By the way, I downloaded and installed without problem. I'm using 108 before upgrade, now is 109. What is your firmware version before upgrade? Could be more complex if you already Android 7.

I believe there is some bugs in the OTA which just recently released. I would advise to click "Give Up" when the screen prompt until it is confirmed stable.

For your case, get the firmware file from the seller and refresh your firmware with recovery mode as mentioned by AVFAN.

My Q16 quad firmware is 3.0.4...  Not sure can update to lollipop (await Nicety to test n adv)...
*
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.

Hopefully Nicety updates his sky folder with this 1.7.4 Terrarium rclxms.gif
*
Terrarium 1.8.0 already uploaded in the OneDrive, you are right official Terrarium has the ads, 1.7.1 is the hacked version which is ads free. The logic very simple, the Terrarium developer did this for free, he/she need the ads to continue sustain. The app will be shutdown soon if the developer has no income to support the service.
