I just bought Q3 II last 2 days ago.. just wondering why when I play downloaded movies the sound not loud as I played on basic media player?

quite common... diff files come with diff levels of audio encoding. playing the file with diff players like bluray, media player, direct tv can also give diff loudness levels.

lastly, press yr remote control loudness buttons when playing - sometimes it drops to minimum!

Thanks for your reply bro but i already did about the volume control to the max and only control tru tv's volume now. Before this i play a movie using Asus Oplay mini and the volume is so clear and loud but when play it on Q3 ii using media centet the volume is really slow and i have to set the volume too high.
I thought Q3ii with hisilicon chipset is really good for decoding like realtek.. huhu

we mean playing same file on various players...

can't comment on q3ii as i dun hv...

but i can say on q5ii, the volume output is not lower than ac ryan which uses realtek chipset.

when playing same file via usb in bd players, there can also be a diff - i find pioneer players deliver higher base volume than jvc.

probably not always about the chipset but also the player software, codecs, etc.

will need audio expert to explain...!

Hi all,

I would appreciate if anyone can suggest me on upgrading my media player.

Currently im using mede8er 500 series with 2tb disk on it.
Since its now full i have bought synology with 4tb disk on it.

Now i want to migrate all the things to synology to make it simpler. And looking for media player that doesnt have a disk bay should be sufficient.

Most of all mu gadget is apple device and i would like to have my airplay fully working too.

But i have a doubt which one i should go for my needs seems android based player designed for stream not really powerfull for media player, was it true?

I have a lots video format on my mede8er disk but i just want to male sure its playable.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I read that some of you guys can run xbmc gotham 13.1 without any problem. I tried on my q5ii emmc and xbmc got terminated right after i try to play a video from my library. the only way I can watch them now is to use the workaround which is using the default player.

Care to share how you guys do it?

"library" as in hdd playback via usb on xbmc?
that, i hv yet to see any clear procedure, perhaps need to root, null warranty, complicated things...??
most people just play with native player, all good.


but if u mean xbmc streaming (not use of usb/hdd), 13.1 gotham works well - but u must disable the mediacodec acceleration (under expert settings) in system->settings->video->acceleration.

yeah I mean play my movies from hdd. can't seem to play it with XBMC video player. have to use the workaround xml file to load video using the native player.

haven't tried the streaming as I dont really know any good one in english.

but i dun follow...

if using native player, why the need for any xml file?
just plug in the hdd into the usb port, play using media center or file manager, both are using same native player, all files will play smoothly.
or u mean some other player?

u haven't use xbmc to stream online movies and tv shows?
xbmc's main attraction is online streaming with addons like mashup, icefilms, 1channel, etc.
xbmc thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3139601

I mean I want to use XBMC built in player when playing movie from my hdd because I already accustomed to the hotkeys and downloading subtitle from the XBMC player. It's more superior than the native player.

I don't really care about streaming that much because I don't have enough time and my unifi usually suck at streaming.

Hopefully video playback will we fixed soon because XBMC playback pretty much a big deal for me since I am a long time xbmc user since the original xbox..

Anyway thanks for your answers. I guess I will try exploring the live streaming channel when I have the time

thanks for clarification.

from what i understand, the problem is due to himedia chipset not fully supported by xbmc, hence the hiccup for wat u want...?

also, unifi even at lowest 5mbps is fine for online xbmc streaming via ethernet or wifi, more so if u use a better router than unifi original.

bro xbmc got justseries.tv addon plug in ar.

no. justseries.tv only on browser.

what app to use for playing video with DTS support?
i tried vlc, bs player, even mx player after i install the custom codec still cant support dts sound

no need for any special app.

the native player is very good.

just plug in hdd into usb, play it with either media center->video or file manager, both use same native player.

tip: if u turn on samba in settings, under media center->lan, u can wifi stream hd video n audio pc/android, android/android. no need to copy files on hdd and plug in usb.

dts is not difficult for this box. some model handle dtshdma just as good.

btw, what model is yours?

DTS decoder is licensed and CPU dependent if use hardware decode. Generic free player will not support DTS.

Please use Himedia Native player which you already paid for DTS.

i am using q5ii. The problem is I install all kind of different apps to play my video, some cant play without codec, some can't stream from pc to himedia. I have never thought to use the built it mediacentre, tried it just now, all problem solved, can stream and play everything without any problem.

all sifu curent im using a xiaomi box 2nd gen so lag in playing the media from tuzhi .. any idea of android tvbox can play the tuzi and the youku ssmooth using a 4mbps streamyx which himedia if ok budget rm300-400 .. can we install apk on this himedia.??

for unifi vip5/10 users, just to share...

i watch mangotv and hitv quite a bit besides xbmc.
i used to find many shows in mangotv lagging and couldn't get hitv hd stuff smoothly consistently even on ethernet.
recently i changed from orig dlink router to this asus rt n12hp router (rm199):
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2764213/+100

result has been excellent. ethernet and wifi both improve a lot, very pleased.
on ethernet, i can get most stuff on mangtov smoothly, incl hd stuff.
on hitv, u can select from 3 options: "clear", "high", "super" definition. i can now get them in "super hd" (=1080, i think) smoothly. can see from the yellow buffer bar it is good. nice!
on wifi, results quite close to that on ethernet.

while we discuss and agonize a lot over chipsets, firmwares, app versions, dns, proxies, nominal broadband speed, etc., don't overlook this router issue. i am convinced the orig unifi router is very poor. good news is a rm200 replacement router giving stronger and more stable signal connection will change all that to deliver much superior results.
