it is not free. but has free trial. don't seems like got any virus. It is like a typical entertainment app.

once install, it will auto download MXPlayer if your device don't have the MXPlayer. then you can start enjoying watching the video with the Mxplayer.

got many latest English, Korean, Cantonese and Chinese movies and drama, guess mostly from the internet.

majority live tv not so stable, but some from US site ok.

Anyone using Q6C? I have updated to 1.1.7 firmware and playstore is gone now

Anyone using Q6C? I have updated to 1.1.7 firmware and playstore is gone now

Hi,

I'm currently using Q5II non EMMC (NAND) version with 1.0.3 english firmware.
I downloaded all my update package from the links below:

1.0.4: http://bbs.himedia.cn/thread-156986-1-1.html
1.0.5: http://bbs.himedia.cn/thread-158249-1-1.html
1.0.6: http://bbs.himedia.cn/thread-167037-1-1.html
1.0.7: http://bbs.himedia.cn/thread-171491-1-1.html


However, when I put in my empty pendrive, the device cannot detect the update package (NO update package). And I tried to press the restore button to force update also cannot detect @@

Can anyone help me?

for those who watch china livetv..., remember livetv was part of imgotv before? but no more now. standalone livetv now still works good but has no more hd channels.

this apk is a simple, good and fast app - china livetv with a few hd channels, plus a few taiwan live tv chanels. work very well.

enjoy... and thanks to our fellow forumer and himedia user sicheh:

Thanks for sharing, Bro.

Hi,

I just bought the himedia q5iii recently. However, I found out that the connection speed is really slow. Even if I use ethernet instead of wifi. Anybody else experiencing this?

what broadband r u using?
what do u find slow - xbmc, chinese apps, browser, youtube...?
is it slow too for other devices incl like pc gaming, youtube on tablets, etc?

there has been many reports of unifi problems since sep 12 due to undersea cable damage affecting usa and chine sites, mostly.
supposedly will return to normal only by oct 6.
however, it varies from area to area, it seems, some areas, some isp's unaffected at all..?

I'm using unifi. Yeah, it is not slow for my desktop and other devices. So I don't think it's Bcoz of the undersea cable prob.

I think I'll maybe try to do a factory reset and see how it goes

q5ii... i just updated from xbmc gotham 13.1 to 13.2.
http://xbmc.org/

straightforward, no problems.

seems smoother, less buffering.

just remember to do this step if not done yet:

xbmc->settings (expert level)->system->video->acceleration->disable mediacodec

i bought a Q6ii recently, i notice the device having hdmi output issue, when i first power on the device, i can't see the display on my tv, i have to switch the input from my tv remote to other input then switch back to hdmi input that connected to my Q6ii, only the display will come back.

The issue only happen when i power off the electricity, if i put the device in sleep mode, no problem on the display.

Anyone have similar issue and experience before ?

yep, i know wat u mean.

solution is to power up the himedia first until u see the time display (ready), then put on the tv.

how old is yr tv? my old tv has same issue, new tv doesn't!

but why it only happened on 1st boot up each day? if i power off after that and boot up again, no problem at all.

HiTV service permanently stopped, news released from official site....
zzzzz, no point to get himedia product for such high price then... =(

there are reasonable alternatives.... for now!

Anybody know how's the quality of video n audio on Q16 quad core compare to realtek based player ? Thanks !

i think q16 quad processor is the same (?) as q5ii, q6ii n q16 dual core.

for streaming, I doubt quad gives better video than dual. same with playback of media.
compared to Realtek players like acryan, u may find the android video is a little harder n more colorful but after a while, u get use to it, maybe like it more.

q16 quad is superior to the rest for ability to handle 4k or UHD files, handles 1080p in XBMC rather than 720p, n has a much larger flash memory to cope with newer apps that require much large buffers to work.

i m considering it but will wait a bit longer for firmware to stabilize, see if any other upgrades will happen in the next few months.

Sure XBMC Gotham no problem in Q5ii? mine crashed when i upgrade or clean install from Frodo..i use 0 cache in advancesetting.xml..now keep frodo n it's no more crash

bro, forget frodo and advanced settings - obsolete.

delete all old xbmc versions, go straight to xbmc gotham 13.2.
http://xbmc.org/download/

after installation...
VERY IMPORTANT: you must go to settings-video-acceleration, disable mediacodec.

..testing it
