Just wondering when you mango tv to watch hk drama. Is mandarin or Cantonese. Mine is mandarin. How to change audio to Cantonese?

I tried watching the Mainland Channel Live TV using 10mbs connection but still laggy.
Any solution ?

new routers... best to read some threads to get an idea which one suits u best, price, what other users say:
https://forum.lowyat.net/BroadbandUser-2-User
as replacement to unifi router, asus and tplink seem most popular.
which model, u need look into the details like what how many users, what devices, highrise or house, etc.
both are unifi ready, i.e. only simple steps required to configure for use.
the asus i bought, diy takes only 5 min after watching a youtube video.
if buying from shop, can ask shop people to preset as much as possible.
unifi password is required (not same as wifi pw) - u call unifi, they give to you after verification.

mangto tv or hitv, vast majority are in mandarin as they are china sites, not hongkong.
if a show is in mandarin, it is only mandarin, no dual language.
in mangotv/tv series or movies/hongkong, there is a limited selection of hongkong-canto shows. some of them are actually dubbed into mandarin too.
in hitv, canto is just as rare. if it is in canto, u see the title displayed with 粤语.
e.g. hitv/pptv/tv series/ancient costume, three kingdoms 2010 in page 15 is displayed as 三國粤语 which is a canto version.
三國 in page 26 is in mandarin. incidentally, the canto version can be viewed in hd/superhd, excellent, while the mandarin version is in sd only.

if one enjoy mandarin stuff, himedia's mangotv-hitv-livetv combo is excellent, probably the best around, can't ask for more.
if one wants canto stuff, answers include other paid iptv apps like cloudtv. or if on unifi, get the ruby pack which has several canto channels for hypptv but these are mainly live, not on-demand.
fyi, both hypptv everywhere and astro-on-the-go apks can also be installed on himedia. they work but the video quality no doubt is not as good as direct with the astro decoder or hypptv stb.

on livetv, lagging has always been an issue whether vip5 or vip10. my experience is with the right ip/dns, ethernet connection and a good router, the lagging is minimised. there are 4xx channels in livetv, i think. i only watch some of them. i find cctv channels, eastern, beijing, shenzhen, zhejiang and guangdong channels quite reliable. i don't get too much lag anymore. one trick u can try is if lagging, just exit, wait a few seconds, go back in. also, i find the time of the day n night matters. 7-10pm is usually poorer, probably peak hours, traffic congestion.


** all of the above applies to my experience with q5ii, may or may not apply to all himedia models (?).

Hi, Q6ii user here. Is the latest firmware 1.0.7 still does not have Google play store?

where can we download the firmware 1.0.7?

for 1.0.7 eng version:
emmc model has it.
non-emmc, u need additional patch file to get playstore.

this is the eternal headache for users...

if u bought from responsible sellers, you can get correct firmware updates and patches from them.
others, may not be able to get or risk getting wrong or virus infected ones from xyz sites.

is it me or anyone facing problem watching china live tv? it all become 芒果轮播 and only car content available even I switch to another channel

Same case for me

livetv is no longer part of mangotv (imgotv).

you need separate apk for it.

Mango TV stop live TV after World Cup, most probably banned by authority.

I have uploaded few China Live TV alternative apps in the Skydrive under APK subfolder folder. Pls try.

I face initial problem too but after calling my suppliers about the internet connection login, it should work very fast. You need to change something first , i can't remember but most suppliers should know. I *** my suppliers it's not like A,B,C as i thought . I have tried login until i fedup than i whatapps my supplier for help. He go through with me on whatapps and it finally works.

Lesson learned? Get from the person who can help you to diagnose the problem in whatapps. I called TMUNIFI and they told me it's the new router setting problem. Indeed , it is the setup in the router and has nothing to do with Unifi.

Can try the apk below...

what are these apks?

I envy avfan for being able to have the luxury of all these entertainment. I have connected my lan cable to himedia q6. II for direct contact and change dns too but still cloud tv like celestial and others not able to load up. If in HD, like in imgotv, it kept stopping . I tried some movies like jarhead 2 and battle los angeles , they played smoothly in imgo tv, no problem watching them. Then i try xbmc, most movies and tv dont work except for one ,spiderman 2 in hbo.

Can we all try shoot some videos of your entertainment experience? I like to see if you change channels in cloudtv, the streaming has no buffer and in imgotv , one can just switch to any movies without lagging or no videos? Same goes to xbmc.

I try to shoot the video and share it later about my problem in you tube.

what u experience is not abnormal but i believe it can be improved. unless there is something uniquely superior in q5ii compared to q6 which i don't think so, you shud be able to get better than what u described.

it is probably true that i have played with my q5ii's a bit more than other uers and managed to get a couple things to work better - which is why i keep posting my experience - so as to share with other users to enjoy the same.

i will not claim to say every app, channel, addon, plug in or link works perfectly all the time. far from it! however, if most of the stuff i watch works well most of the time, i hv more than enough. so, that makes it all worthwhile. .

i struggled a lot with q5ii on previous firmware and xbmc frodo versions. with firmware 1.0.7 and gotham 13.1, it got a lot better. then with replacement asus rt n12hp router, it improved further, much to me delight.

yes, if can make a video to highlight yr issues, maybe some of us can comment.

meanwhile, in relation to yr issues, let me describe a bit more of my experience with some apps, see if it helps:

my stuff:
.. unifi vip10
.. orig unifi (alcatel-lucent) modem, asus rt n12hp router
.. q5ii emmc (ethernet) and non-emmc (wifi)
.. ip - static
.. dns - open (one of the dozens listed on websites)
.. i rate wifi experience/performance 90% of ethernet

cloudtv
.. foc channels only
.. not so reliable to me (maybe paid package better)
.. other than a few "available everywhere" channels which work ok, the rest are either poor in video or don't work at all
.. soft or hard or hybrid decoder setting makes little difference
.. i stopped using this app as i now got unifi to grant me foc the megapack on hypptv which has all the channels i used to watch on cloudtv - bloomberg, channel news asia, natgeo people hd. and syfy hd, warnertv hd, a few chinese channels. hypptv/megapack is not a bad product - get it if u r on unifi vip10.

xbmc
.. gotham 13.1
.. mediacodec acceleration disabled
.. main addons - 1channel, istream, icefilms, mashup, kissanime
.. 80% of the time: mashup-> tv latest or hd movies-> newmyvideolinks-> 720 hdtv hugefiles or movreel-> usually smooth
.. 720, 1080, dd5.1 work well; sometimes still get lag - depends on the movie

hitv tv
.. pptv is #1, my fav; reasonable library, just about all of it work
.. vqq is #2; smaller library, works well
.. with new router, i can now get some shows in youku (never worked with orig unifi router)
.. with new router, pptv and vqq can view with "super" definition smoothly ("super" lags with orig unifi router)

mango/imgo tv
.. old router not so good, frequent lagging
.. new router, can get most of them, usually smooth
.. i don't watch english stuff here; watch mostly movies and tv series in mandarin
.. some shows offer choice of "clear" and "high" definition, slight difference only, best to stay in "clear" for good buffer
.. lagging and messages still occur intermittently, depends on time of day/night

livetv
.. i view only a few channels
.. shenzhen, zhejiang, guangdong usually fine
.. eastern, beijing, sometimes lag
.. performance varies during time of day/night

you can download either 1 of them...
it has live tv and VOD. an alternative apk for those as mentioned.

live tv as in china livetv?
vod as in paid iptv chinese, cantonese stuff?

has many types of live tv and vod.. maybe you can check it out....

but not all stable.. will update from time to time..

can use it as the alternative entertainment app..

it a free entertainment apk for any android, i suppose.

becos u replied to my post about chinese/canto stuff, i thought that's what it is...

anyway, the links do no contain any info about anything, how to trust?

won't dwnld to try... many malware/viruses around...

maybe u can describe in details what you got, name of app, site names, what shows, what's good, etc.

then other users who hv it can comment too.

What is the latest firware for q10ii? Any ways to change the interface like q5?
