is there any himedia player equip with mediatek soc?

Any one have latest english software for Q6II emmc?

Good day himedia fans.

Which himedia Android to recommend. Can run astro on the go & xbmc if possible.

Want to sell my himedia 900a & change. Interested also can PM me.

i think all the current emmc models will work for astroonthego n xbmc incl q5ii, q6ii, q16.
best u confirm with seller before buying.

users of mango tv and hitv....

if u r not getting hd smoothly on some of the channels, try this...

at yr settings, ethernet or wifi, whichever one u r using, change dns1 to 1.2.4.8

works perfectly now, not sure how long it will stay valid.

trouble is it may not be good for utube n xbmc.

so....before change, better to record yr old dns to revert back if it doesn't work!

hi,

few days ago I bought the q5 ii emmc
installed xbmc in 5 minutes and works great,

I live in China and with the last update there is no more google play, still can't find a way to make it work, tried with gapps, apk etc it just crashes...

Hi everybody,

does anyone know a way to put a custom channel list to be used with live tv or hitv?

i'm dying with only chinese language channels!!!


thanks!

if u wish, u can try to get yr hands on firmware 1.0.6 emmc eng version meant for use outside china. dunno if it will work in china but this wil will give u playstore, works gud for me.

but it comes with xbmc 12.2 which u may not like.

has all the usual chinese stuff in mango tv, hitv.

i dun think u can add or subtract anything in mangotv or hitv.

own channels, possible in xbmc... can read that thread, something of that sort was recently discussed.

can you tell me where did you find that thread?
the one i found so far are for people outside china that want to see chinese tv

i'll wait some time before upgrading to the new firmware, i'd like to find out something that works

as per google play i found a "good" alternative is 7PO Market all in chinese but you can find some app similar to mango tv with more movies/series also in 720 or 1080

somebody just bumped the thread, u shud see it.

not too far back, discussion on how to make yr own xml to get tv7,8,9, etc... If these r wat u want....

others like natgeo, bloomberg, u shud check out CloudTV. english stuff, xbmc is already the best, foc.

yeah i know cloud tv,

thanks!

afaik, 106 non-emmc eng is still not available. so, gotta wait...

i never tried downgrading firmware from 106 to say 105 or 104, but think it is possible to restore any firmware stored in yr usb drive. only thing is restore will clean out everything, u need to put everything back again incl all apps and settings.

for my non-emmc unit which is now on 106 china version, i installed nova launcher, change default orig launcher to nova which looks much like a pc desktop. with that, all the other apps widgets can be set up there too. but can't get playstore back as the firmware will not accept any google/playstore apk(s). i dun use playstore much as my use is mainly on xbmc, mangotv, hitv, youtube and browser.

note... since there is no playstore, all apps apks need to obtained from another source - via pc (be sure to get right android apks) or copy from somebody. typically, these apks are at least a few mb in size, cannot move by email. and that is why it is impt to save yr user apps on ext usb drive, in case u need to put them back one by one - see my post #854 in this thread.

obviously, the easiest thing to do is to take the unit back to the seller's shop and get the guy(s) there to fix it.

just had a look, seems ok. tried any of them, works good?
some of them are also found in hitv and histore.
they all pretty much offer the same thing...
can expect not all of them work well outside china.
my experience - youku never works. pptv, ppstv and vqq work fine.

i actually find mangotv the best - newer stuff, live tv, well organised, big library.
not everything works but good enough, incl hd stuff.
i just watched a new 6-episode documentary called "tastes of beijing" in hd, excellent.

yeah youku works only inside China,

i mostly use VST (has some part of the menu in english also)

and IQIYi, so far my best choice because the one with the widest library

TOGIC has also a wide choice, plus in the settings you can tell the app to connect to the hong kong server, that would solve connectivity problem if you are outside China and have any of them

How to mirror iPad with Himedia Q6II
is it in Hi share? what steps do i need to take in order for the mirroring to works?

this is easily be done if yr q6ii and ipad are both connected to same wifi.
when playing a video, look for the icon that is a rectangle with a triangle in it on yr ipad screen. touch it to activate the q6 as proposed.
that's all, nothing more. it's built in, no need any xshare watever.

personally, i dun find this feature useful since whatever the ipad can get, the q6 can get too, so why bother?
ok... maybe gud if u take lots of photos and videos with ipad...

Thanks avfan, i will try again but so far my attempt fails. The reason of mirror is to watch astro on the go in ipad.
