Well...your know that one...

Plumberly answered the question you're really after...

Lol... I vote for Nicety if you are buying tis model

Just sharing!

My Himedia H8+ doesn't come with remote apps. So after a lot of testing. I found a 100% compatible app that worked with Himedia platform and all the apps. Inclusive KODI.


For those that are interested. It's a freeware.

There are 2 apk files you need to install. One install to the Android TV BOX (tv client), another to your smart devices.


Cheers!

100% recommended. I buy from him too.

I guess this for the Rockchip models...the Hisilicon models have HiControl...

You can also try Teamviewer...this you can control your box even when you're roaming overseas...or check what your kids / parents are watching... just no volume control....

hi all hi media users, can verify is the following true? quote from avforums

"There are some almost inevitable compromises, most notably the occasional loss of synch with 23.976 frames per second content – which accounts for most movies and blockbuster TV series – and the ‘wrapper’ solution for KODI isn’t ideal"

HiMedia Q10 Pro review

I'm using a lower end unit Himedia H8 Plus and updated to new firmware. I don't see is there any noticeable the occasional loss of synch. Even playing a 4K 60fps 5.1ch vid. Is very smooth. I believed Q5pro does better.

hmmm from this web site, http://streaming-media-players.specout.com...Himedia-Q10-Pro

it seems like q5pro doesn't support a lot of video format, or its not really a concerns, i.e. q5pro can play most of the COMMON video formats

You might want to wait and listen to reviews from actual daily users of the device you are interested in, VS some review that was probably written back when the device was introduced. Take the AVF review of the HiMedia Q10 Pro, its was reviewed back in Jun 18, 2016. Since then till now, I believe the device must have received a firmware update or 2, which squashed a few bugs and improved performance. That's the beauty of spending more in the beginning to buy such brands.. As they attempt to fix things along the way..

Maybe the native player but mine has no problem but you can also use MX Player/KODI to play movies which can handle most of the format.

+1 like my Hmedia H8+. the native player missed out some feature and playing 4K 60fps movie not smooth but after firmware update. Is all fine now.

anyone have Nicety contact?

i am quite sure u do not know what is meant by that bolded sentence.
that sentence refers to playback with KODI player, as in the app KODI.
that, is the heartache of many boxes using kodi - pls read kodi thread.
becos many people like to playback their hdd collections with KODI player - for kodi's artwork.
some like playback with other players like MX or VLC.
take note some boxes do not come with native player, i.e. a player where u play direct clean and simple, no need another app player.
himedia used to be a pure media player co., every box they make comes with their own himedia player.
Q5/Q10 pro native player is a powerful one, with imprex engine2, can do extras like HDR, dolby vision, DTSX, online subtitle download, picture quality parameters adjustment/tuning - not found in most other players.

so, that sentence refers to playback with kodi app as it is. the last bit about wrapper means if u insist on playing back with kodi player, himedia's solution is to use the wrapper, an app which "wraps" the stream from kodi, bypass it and play thru the native player. this wrapper, for now, works fine if u playback with kodi but does not work with regular kodi online streaming, something that needs to be fixed by a new firmware, not done yet.

i do not like local playback with kodi, prefer playback direct with native player. have used q10pro for 3 months now, have hv not seen a single file in my collection that does not play correctly.

i do not know what files u have in yr collection, but i have banyak terabytes ... all sorts... incl 50, 66gb, 4k, hevc, 10bit, mkv, m2ts, iso, whatever...

afaik, the native player in q5pro is the same with q10pro.

there are 2 diff between the two - q5pro is 2/8gb while q10pro is 2/16gb;
q10pro has a compartment to slot in an internal HDD while q5pro does not.
as far as USB playback with ext HDD is concerned, there should be no diff at all.

if u decide to buy one of these, i suggest to confirm with seller about the latest firmwares.
the current q10pro firmware is 2.0.1 (there is a very new 2.0.3 which i hv not tested yet).
q5pro, i don't know.

how about steam from PC or NAS?

i do not know what "nas" u have but i can say:

.. to stream over wifi from windows file sharing to box is easy and simple with SMB, a feature found in a native app called "media center". this, i can stream up to 1080p dd/dts or 4k/aac only becos my router is a poor one. i am quite sure with a better router, can do 4k/dtshdma, etc.

.. i have known a couple of cases where users of q10pro had problems doing nas when using a 3rd party app or kodi but no problem when they use the native media center.
