It will only get harder to get good high quality files, so have to keep the good ones for the future. Sometime in the future it will be harder or not possible to get them.

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Oct 10 2017, 06:14 PM) yes, please share yr findings. Shield has the best compatibility but from forum, the shield's pq is not really impressive especially when it comes to HDR and 4K. some of the AVS forum members are getting better PQ using media boxes like Himedia and Egreat. I have not tested it and also very interested to know the result.as someone who would have used himedia, minix and shield, that will be valuable. since most people say "shield is the best!"..??! in my mind, shield is certainly the most expensive, by far... but is it the best? for me? 4k, HDR... yes, still rare but i notice more coming now. i recently junked 2TB of old 720/1080p for BDMV, better ones with dtshdma/ddtruehd. looks like i will hv to do more of the same, junk some more 1080p, replace with 4k HDR! |

QUOTE(GuyM @ Oct 11 2017, 08:02 AM) Cannot... Emo-mental contract with current vehicle is almost up. I could probably stretch it about a year tops. With every high cost purchase I always have a certain amount of years I expect to use it before considering new tech.. Tech always gets better each year, so it's buy and close eyes and ears to talk about new tech afterwards. Still have at least 2 years before I give out or move the current TV, HT, etc to the bedroom and replace with shiny new toys.. Gotta to have a proper AVR + 12TB NAS Storage this time.. QUOTE(jdgobio @ Oct 11 2017, 09:36 AM) Oled prices are not gonna come down by much anytime soon. Its still worth it to get it now. I am planning to jump in next year when the new model from LG comes in. Sadly, you may be right.. No worries.. I've got some time.. Just don't want to be an early adopter and pay super premium price for something better to come along and cheaper too.. Happened with current 1080p purchase.. Meh, water under the bridge..

Likely need to reinstall last frmware and google patch. Q5ii still good for many things. But not 4k, hdr, hdr. Consider current q5pro or q10pro. Read last 10 pages...

QUOTE(voncrane @ Oct 7 2017, 11:30 PM) The Q10 Pro is more future proof.. Since your primary need is Kodi, must stay away from rockchip devices.. Kodi and Rockchip devices at the moment don't mix. Also, HiMedia devices and Kodi, expect hiccups.. Get a Minix instead. Very Kodi friendly. hey bro, can i know what sorts of hiccups we will face if using himedia and kodi?thanks This post has been edited by chester999: Oct 19 2017, 05:19 PM |

Hi guys,
Need advice/help. I'm using Q10 Pro with latest firmware. Device connected to the internet via wifi. But when i opened YouTube, Kodi & GooglePlay, seems that i can't access any content. I've tried connect/disconnect thingy, but doesn't work. Is there anyway in the setting that i should look for? Thank you. |

Which firmware are you guys using for Q10pro?
If i remember correctly, there is the official version and then there are the unofficial versions? I'm currently with the latest official version (can't remember which version) updated sometime a few months back. |
