Thanks AVFAN !! As you said I found it on the menu button. But why dont put it as an option on the configuration settings so you can use on other apk players. Next firmware update Please !!

I usually play movies with the HiMEDIA internal player, but most of the times when playing 1080p mkv movies Ive noticed that on several scenes the speed changes for 2 or 3 seconds.Its like slow motion. It also seems that during fast scenes like fighting, frames are being skipped. Its very annoying. Do you know why ?

So I decided to try the MX PLAYER, and I found that the same movie was played perfect without this error. But the problem is I cannot make it reproduce DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL throuth my digital amplifier. Only pro logic. Is there anyway to fix this ?

I also tried the XBMC PLAYER and as far as I can say, its a great player. It does decode DTS and DOLBY DIGITAL but I cannot find the way to configurate the 1080p 24fps like you explained with the internal player. Is there an option or it only plays 1080p 60fps ?

In conclution, its like every player lacks of something.
I wish I could solve the internal player problem I mentioned before. From this 3 players, its the only one that shows that fail I explained when playing movies on 1080p,
I'll appreciate any help you could give me on this !!

go to xbmc settings >Video>Playback, then play with the "adjust display refresh rate to playback video" and the "sync playback to display" settings. Im sure one of this settings (or both) will allow proper 24hz playback as long as your TV supports it.

and for DTS HD and TrueHD, are you using passthrough to your receiver? does your receiver display DTS HD MA or DTS only?

all this china media player are awesome as they have 24hz and HD audio passthrough, but they dont give the most pleasant hulu/netflix experience...you gan some, you lose some~

if only plan for mkv playback from HDD
is this box a great choice?
or shall i just get conventional media player like WDTV?

honestly speaking, for basic usage, better go for wdtv than any of these media players with its nonsense problems tongue.gif
If you want all those extra features and apps....all that only then go for android player. WDTV, till today I would say is the BEST low power media player nod.gif as long as you dont need apps and stuffs

tried on q5ii and q16 - same like before, same error, tak pakai.
strange it's ok on ipad but not on android "tablets"...?
i m surprised... is the unit in "open air" or inside a tight space?
my 3 units, with or without mini fan, no such overheating problem for 1.5 yrs.
maybe q1 not as good as q5ii/q16 in heat dissipation design...?
q2... not sure but the firmware, even old cannot be that different from q5ii or q16.
when playback, press menu button on remote to bring up subtitle options - u get all kinds of settings there.
to get rigth firmware for yr model, best to get help from yr orig seller.
i find it unreliable to dwnld from unknown sources.
anyway, for anyone interested in himedia androids, i suggest u not to buy just any model but buy the more popular models - to my knowledge: q5ii which has been succeeded by q5iii and q16. there is a lot more user support and tips on the popular models.

this one very popular, but not the china version. The European version is recommended because you can then install the firmware from futeko.com, even the hardware is supposedly slightly different. It better at certain kodi functions than the china version
