Even 480p comes out ok, which makes some SD streams very watchable.

A lot of people still think a 4k tv is useless unless u play 4k content, no diff with 1080p.

Maybe some 4ktvs have poor upscaling but i am sure the premium ones all have good upscaling.

my 1.5 years old himedia q5ii
poorly plays H265 inside kodi
any ways to improve this?
will try with native player and screenshot H265 video later

Hi, I am getting black border on all the videos playback with MediaPlayer (Q10 Pro - Android 7). All other apps and video player like YouTube is able to display at 100% full screen with no black border. Issue found on MediaPlayer only. Note - MediaPlayer app itself is able to display at 100% too. Just videos cannot.

Any idea how to solve it? Thanks.

Aiyo bro,

I didn't buy from Nicety, but I hope Nicety is nice enough    to share the firmware with me..LOL. The seller from Digital Mall don't offer such service. Basically they sell you the box, you're on your own.

bought himedia Q10 after turning on I updated my wifi password,there were request for updates I updated,then the next day when I turned on there is no video on screen,the player updated time and shows time but no bloody video on screen!The seller doesnt show much interest ,any help guys?

q10 pro,plugged in set my wifi ,then the box advised updates,agreed to update thats it,after  a while no video on tv except clock updated,changed ports changed tv still no luck,waiting for seller to update on return of goods

however, the one critical feature i stick to himedia is it comes with an excellent native player with great video and audio output capabilities - mini bluray menu, dtshdma/ddtruehd/ddatmos. can't do with less if using a home theater system. not sure, but i read some people saying minix does NOT have a native player, need to playback usb via kodi only. if true, it sucks big time for me.

ok, thanks.

but then i dun understand why that minix user in kodi thread said he can't play bdmv folders with it...??

actually, users like you and me probably can handle just about any box for most purposes.

but we know it can be frustrating for a noob.

e.g. factory reset is sometimes necessary but one must hv kept app backups, reinstall, redo all preferences.

plus, there can be other issues with TV, AVR, cables, routers!
so, it is impt box manufacturers make easy-to-use boxes, least hassle, adequate support.

of course, that won't come cheap, hence the price premiums for some boxes besides just the tech specs.

Hye all..i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask so any admin, plz move my post to an approprite thread if this is not the place yea.

I want to ask..i'm using Himedia H8 android box. Tonite, suddenly there are pop up ads that keep showing up. I dont know why. But maybe because i had install an app two days ago. Rite now, i cant uninstall that app becoz it says it is currently an active device admin. I try to uninstall that app becoz i think that it might be the cause of the pop up ads..

I have tried googling the problem and most solutions says i have to go to settings, and security but my device does not have the 'Security' option. Anyone can help me plz? Thanks in advance.

if u r into the highest video and audio quality playback, u will be pleased with Q10pro performance.

i hv been playing with it in the last week on my 5.1.

with 4k AVR and 4k TV; no HDR, no atmos, no dtsx.

all the files i have played are good, haven't noticed any problem.

the most challenging file i tried so far is a 66gb uhd4k hevc265 10bit dtshdma one.

all good - great video clarity, brilliant colors, excellent audio.

bit rate... dunno.

i just know this 66gb file is BETTER than the corresponding 45gb BDMV.

the good news is whatever i hv in my possession is taken care off.

u may want to check this thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4180770/+20#bottom

the guys are talking 9.1, 4k projectors, etc.... probably >100gb files.

i'm not in that league.

not sure, but i think genuine uhd4k bluray discs come in 50, 66 and 100gb capacity.

I have seen people playing 4K file over 116 Gb without any issue. But rather slow in jumping one to the other time frame while doing fast forward/backward play.

Q10 Pro can play up to 400 Mbps Jellyfish video. 

Hi to all..

I am trying to find a way and software to install a hypptv application from tm to my android H8 Octa Core ??

Is anyone know how to do this ??

Hi all,

My friend gave away his Himedia Q6II emmc to me after upgrade. I was try to install Kodi via playstore but can't becauses it stated the Android version not supported. I would like to check:

1) What is the latest firmware for the Q6II and how to download it? I have search but found many version, not sure which is correct one.
2) How to install Kodi?

So far, able to play all movie save in HD. Most online viewing apps don't work, Mango TV partially

Thanks in advance

The android version is 4.2.2 (build number HMD-1.0.6 2014-05-03.212536)

or can I upgrade the android version with firmware upgrade first.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the advice.

Since most of the installed apps originally installed not working, I guess I will give it a clean up and uninstall them, to free up the memory.

But why the no picture problem with the 66 GB TS file? Suggest not all TS files are alike.

Maybe i got the above wrong...

Spent a little time trying to understand this.... 2160p, 60hz, 24hz, 23.976hz, 10 bit, ycbcr 444, 420, hdmi 2.0, hdcp2.2...

After playing around with my q10pro, 4k avr, 4k tv... am i right to say below... true or false?

.. if a video is 1920x1080, setting the player at 2160p does nothing; only that the tv may upscale it.
.. if a video is 23.976fps, the correct one to set on player is 24hz; 25, 30, 50, 60hz can work but does not improve video.
.. rgb is meant for older, lower grade videos like dvi, avi; ycbcr is better for newer videos.
.. ycbcr 420 8bit 60hz is a better setting than ycbcr444 10bit 24hz unless the video is 10bit.

Maybe some of u can help me out, thanks!
