Ok, finally managed to update firmware and Netflix app but can't seem to stream 5.1 audio . Even though my HDMI output set to raw

Not possible as it's not a Netflix certified device.. Max 480p res and stereo sound.. You will not get anymore than that from Netflix's servers. So current equipment's capabilities is irrelevant.

something u should know... better late than never,

non netflix approved devices will NOT get anything better than 480p and aac2.0.

only a few approved boxes and approved smart tv's can get better, up to 4k hdr, dolby vision even.

this is netflix approach.

Meaning there's no hacked apk available to be install on non certfified netflix to enable 4k hdr stream at all? i remembered reading somehwere there was a hack apk to overcome this?

AFAIK.. Couple years ago? Yes, there were some apks floating around. None available at the moment.. Probably cuz no incentive to create such.. Almost all decent smart TVs from a couple years ago are all capable of outputting full res and surround sound (up to the TV's max specs). I.e my 2014 TV easily gets Netflix's 1080p + DD sound. Those with recognized UHD & HDR capable TVs enjoy the same too. As you can see, why bother when the TV's app does just fine. Those with incompatible TVs end up buying Netflix certified devices like Google's Chromecast, etc..

Ok thanks for the update on Netflix. Looks like time I upgrade to my dream 65" tv... choosing one is difficult...hahah.

just like to share this exp...

if yr 3.5" portable hdd fails, pry it open and take out the drive.

chances are the sata bridge card failed, can save it in 2 ways:

.. plug it into q10pro, it will work if it is only the bridge card that failed.

.. buy a docking station.. i bought below today at rm125... good for 3.5" and 2.5".
save the drive!!


i was told by the sales guy that this will only work for older portable hdds with the sata bridge card as an individual component.
new portable hdds, the circuit is integrated - a design to fail n make u buy new!!
better buy 3.5" sata drives with docking station to get more reliability!

Hi all.. Joining the bandwagon..

Bought a Hi media Q10 pro from a shop in Digital Mall. Everything works fine, however I can't seem to open play store from the box. Tried to insert Google account also failed as the add account is disabled. Box is running ON Android 7.0. I have a feeling the shop seller has blocked(?) access for these? Appreciate your inputs on how to go around this.. Thanka

First try a factory reset and if things are still locked out, maybe it's running a custom ROM. In which case, take note of current ROM/firmware version, then flash the latest update from HiMedia's website. I advise manually flashing the latest firmware regardless as this should eliminate all doubt and remove pre-installed crap.

Factory reset will fix this make sure u backup all your apps otherwise reinstall them back

Thanks a lot. Factory reset did the trick. Upgraded to the latest firmware. Everything's smooth now. Thanks a bunch folks!

Damned.... Wanted to trick you into selling to me cheap cheap😂😂😂

You're welcome :-)

I am testing the kodi playing through my seedbox from Europe

Able to stream .mkv 1080p without any hiccups via kodi through ftp network browse

You need a router or access point with ac radio capability if you want to use WiFi otherwise use the LAN Cable Gigabit cat 6

How much is the current price of Q10 pro if I may ask. Thanks

You can contact nicety if you wish to buy one

His support and after sales service is awesome :-)

Reliable

q10pro is almost 2 years old.
u might as well wait for the next generation!

this is interesting...
seedbox.. fro online streaming.
what capacity can u get? costly?
will be meaningful if low cost for a few TB.
if too costly, no point, might as well buy own HDD.

It's cheap bro minimum is 5 usd i use the 10 usd per month

Sifu,

Will the tv box recognize the docking station and the drive?

sure it does.

the docking station is essentially a SATA bridge card.

it is just a bridge to connect the bare SATA drive to the USB card so that u can then plug the USB cable to box, like any other portable HDD with usb cable.

some can do 3.5", some 2.5", some dual.

some take 1 at a time, some can take 2.

just go to an IT shop, u find yr choices.
