Hi sifus, would like to know himedia q5pro worth to get? Was using xiaomi mibox 3 enhanced version for 2years and now it seems quite laggy especially when using kodi. it will got freeze and the wireless connection seems bad even tho my router just next to it.

the provided is from taobao, planning to get it on taobao double 11 event. I had asked the seller, they said they will install google playstore, google play services and root for me.

Wondering is it a good to go?

I am quite new to this

My parents mainly used to watch live stream like 电视家 3.0 or some online movie app (电视猫,千寻)

I mainly use for kodi on hk drama

I saw some China website having 4K movie files to download. So now planning to use this tv box to play the 4K video file.

About the audio quality I am not really sure but I see my homer theatre has the 7.1 Dolby surround sound, so I hope can fully utilise it

since u mentioned 2 china apps, i assume u know where to get such apps and how to get them to work.

i suggest u get moli, cibn, mango - all the good china stuff! biggrin.gif

i also assume u know where to get n how to install firmware updates, app updates, etc.

and yes, they all work very well with q5pro or q10pro.

kodi hk drama... r u referring to icdrama?

u can continue to use it smoothly or u can use icdrama rss reader app - i find this better - faster, easier to navigate.

online streams typically do not hv great audio, but if u do playback, q5pro can give u the best audio and video output - bluray, 4k, 10 bit, hevc, hdr, dtshdma, dtsx, ddtruehd, ddatmos... if u do not playback such files, the feature is "wasted".

in short, yes, q5pro will be good for your needs.

q10pro is the big brother of q5pro - has more storage space and an internal HDD slot; else, the same.

q5pro with less storage is not a problem unless u install a hundreds apps or so.

Bro, ur assumption are right but I have a concern.

If I downloaded those 4K movie, I have no idea how to play it 😅 the website i see is 4k123.com

Can u teach me

Hi everyone, I just got my himedia q5 4th gen from Taobao during the 12-12 sales.

I am using the Sony 4K tv and Sony home theatre BDV-N9200W. I connect the q5 to the home theatre via HDMI and the home theatre connect to TV via HDMI

But no matter how, I only can see 1080P instead of 4K

May I know how can I make it to view 4K? Or it will be 4K when I am playing 4K movie?
