QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 6 2017, 09:47 AM) the himediavideoplayer in q10pro is a very powerful one. Can you switch duo audio with stock player in Q10? H8 not able to do that. I used KODI to play my video files and it can switch audio.MX and other free ones are generic, can't do many things. waste of time if u try to use it! in fact, when using apps like popcorn and showbox, u can set the player to native player. that allows u to adjust video quality, find subs, etc. - just like when doing usb playback. not utilizing the box enough? how r u using the box, what apps u have now? maybe i can suggest... |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 6 2017, 10:34 AM) not sure what u mean. I meant if the video that I downloaded come with 2 audio cantonese/chinese. it can swtich using KODI player but not the stock player in my H8.if u mean if there are multiple audio tracks on a file, and u can't change from one to another in h8, i am surprised. becos even 5-6 yr old players incl q5ii first gen can do that. Kind of backward technology. This post has been edited by OCMAX: Mar 6 2017, 10:37 AM |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 6 2017, 10:45 AM) so, u r always stuck with the default audio track, can't switch? Very sure! I tried all the buttons even using mouse to click on the audio bar. NO selection. LOLr u sure u cannot do that with h8? or u have not used the feature with the menu button?! the native player in h series cannot be that diff from q series. canto/mandarin is basic. there are files with as many as 15 audio and 15 subs - european, asian, arabic... even 5 yr old q5ii can do that! now, even better still with q10pro: if u have no subs, u can download the (right) subs while playing that file - the player has sub providers built in. kodi player is used in devices if the native player is poor or no native player. q series player is good, no need for that. in fact, q10pro now has a wrapper to wrap kodi streams, bypass kodi player and play with native player to get better control and picture quality. however, at this time, that only works with local playback via kodi17 - incl 4k , hd audio files. waiting for next firmware to do the same for online kodi17 streams. but I'm okay using KODI to play my video because the fast forward/rev is much smoother. about the sub. no go also. LOL anyway if I wanted the sub. I normally download them and put it into a same folder. I used to do that for korean dramas or movies. This post has been edited by OCMAX: Mar 6 2017, 11:20 AM |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 6 2017, 11:26 AM) the audio track and subs switching cannot be accessed by the mouse, only with the MENU button at lower right of the center square of remote. Noproblemo. If only from the remote menu button than the stock player in H8 does not have the feature. LOL for rwd/ff, both mouse and remote should work fast. but i have never used a h series, only q series... so, i can't comment further. I'm Happy with KODI. so far so good. |

I think updating the firmware should be easy and better. My Himedia H8 came with old firmware and the media player missed out a few feature and after I updated the firmware the sound track selection are available now.
Today I downloaded hundreds of 4K MV and trying them out. KODI v17.1 run better than the stock player. This post has been edited by OCMAX: Mar 11 2017, 10:02 PM |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 11 2017, 11:10 PM) Audio track selection is basic. Your old firmware must hv been launched in a hurry, u never bothered to update until now. I can't watch 4K youtube contents with my Himedia unit even my TV. It can only play up to 720p with H8. TV up to 1080p. Why do u need to download 4k from youtube? Your tv is 4k but is not androidtv? 4k androidtv, u can watch them anytime! Can Q10 play youtube video up to 4K 2160p 60fps? |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 11 2017, 11:48 PM) I dont know h8 but q series, even 5 yr old can do youtube 1080p. Saumsung smart TV youtube app is lousy. I have to used a mouse to scroll down. LOL but I'm very sure there is no 4K option for me. max is only 1080p. as for the himedia H8. max is only 720p. Do you have the link to download the 1080p youtube app for android? my ipad also only play up to 720p. There are 2 youtube version apps, one gets u 720p only, the other 1080p. If tv is 1080p, 4k content can be played with any player that can handle it but output is just 1080p. I never tried 4k youtube videos with Q10pro as i never need to download, just stream direct on 4k tv anytime. But i am quite sure it can becos i have played many other 4k videos, incl 60fps, hevc, 10bit, hd audio. This post has been edited by OCMAX: Mar 11 2017, 11:58 PM |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Mar 12 2017, 12:08 AM) Here's how I manage YouTube playback via Samsung TV app.. Connect both the TV and a mobile device like a phone or tablet. Launch the YouTube app on the mobile device and at the top, there should be an icon that enables you to "cast" videos to the TV's YouTube app. It also allows video/playlist queueing. It's easier to search for videos on a mobile device and then cast to the TV. This way, you always get 1080p when available. Mobile device or TV remote acts as the playback remote. Yeah! the samsung youtube is pain in the a**. LOL **The above is applicable to select TV models, not just Samsung. So hopefully, yours is compatible. just found the OGyoutube. will give it a try. |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Mar 12 2017, 12:19 AM) Not really... Mine works perfectly each time.. Be it thru the casting feature or using the TV remote alone.. 1080p 2014 model.. Using the prior SmartHub OS... Not the flashy and newer Tizen OS. I haven't used the smart app remote on the phone. maybe it can do better job?ps: nope. the phone remote app doesn't have the touch paad. LOL But the OGyoutube I found is good. it can play up to 1440P video. Just tested. This post has been edited by OCMAX: Mar 12 2017, 12:42 AM |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Mar 12 2017, 07:26 AM) Seems misunderstood... You don't have to use the smartphone TV app remote as a remote. You launch the YouTube app on your phone as if you want to watch YouTube videos on the phone. However, due to casting tech between the phone and TV, the YouTube app on the phone and on the TV (while connected to the same network) are able to detect each other and so the video/queued videos don't play on the phone but are sent and played straight up on the TV set. Allowing you to either put the phone on standby and use the physical tv remote to control playback.. Or Thanks for the advice. Use the phone screen (YouTube app, not smartphone remote) as the playback remote for what's playing on the TV..or Use both the phone (YouTube app, not smartphone remote) and physical remote to control playback. Using the YouTube app to control is easier for moving the slider to a specific part of the video to resume playing. The above method means; the watching of YouTube videos can happen faster and easier than starting up a media player (does not need an extra device) or launching the YouTube app on the TV first.. The phone casting feature does all these automatically.. Hope that's clearer. ps: i think what you mention is like mirror feature but the quality of the video is just 720p. My apple TV does a better job for these purpose. Anyway! thanks for the advice. I think downloading the 4K video is better for my case at least I don't need to see the advertisement while playing a video file from youtube.

QUOTE(shirley_andy @ Apr 1 2017, 11:04 PM) Hi, bought a Himedia tv box, installed with TV Plus 2.0 with those Chinese channel, but realise only one episode can be watch? how to watch previous episodes? TVPlus no longer the best and stop working after the new update. Anyway even if it's working you can only rewind above 4-5hrs pre-recorded show but sometime is just a repeats. You might want to try KODI which come with Himedia box. you can add these source. Video addon http://cthlo.github.io/cthlo-kodi-repo/zips/ - icdrama > install the latest zip file Video library rss://myrss.nu/drama > add to video>files Both of these has plenty of Chinese drama, HK Dramas, Korean Dramas, Taiwan, Japanese Dramas or shows. It also has subtitles for your selection. You can try to search youtube how to add these addons |

QUOTE(shirley_andy @ Apr 2 2017, 12:28 AM) i mean when scrolling tru the list of shows in Kodi, does the list show in chinese? cuz what I know is addon such as DramaGo or Halow is in english right? The main folder is in English but once they go in the title has English & Chinese characters You should try and guide them how to used. Is Free. you have nothing to lose anyway since you have KODI in the box. This post has been edited by OCMAX: Apr 2 2017, 09:15 AM |

QUOTE(shirley_andy @ Apr 2 2017, 04:14 PM) You are welcome. btw! you can login to 魔力视频 using wechat but the bar-code link shown on the page doesn't work. you can download wechat to your himedia box and when you open 魔力视频 it will log into the account. These way you can save the dramas or movie as fav, Much faster to watch on the next day and also the Live TV has one 4K channel. Have fun! |
