anyone tried HDMI passthrough from Q5II to amplifier? Is it working?
Also anyone success installing xbmc?
*
Pls pls find in my thread under "Q5II Initial test result". The beauty of Q5II is the auto passthru where you do not need to switch between LPCM or passthru. We preinstalled xBMC for Q5II customers.

4). Select Root filesystem -> mnt -> (sda) or (sdb) depend on your HDD sequence -> (sda1) or (sdb1)
5). You should see the files in your external harddisk.
6). Please do not choose file by file, select the folder contain your videos and click OK button
7). xBMC will auto scan all the movie files in the folder. To be noted you can add more than one than folders in one media source, just click the "Add" button.
8). Enter the name of the media source and click OK to save the media source.
9). Go back one screen, click Video you will see all the video in the folder.

Officially Netflix service is not available in Malaysia, you need US VPN to install Netflix from Google Play Store.

Bro, would be appreciated if you could share the xbmctalk installation guide here, such that more forumers could enjoy the xbmctalk repo beside the fusion repo :-)

Hi Guy, I just got HD600AII. Bought it from China. Anyone here owns it?

The problem now is I am trying to enter App Store from Application Menu, but it seems like I can enter it.

Do you have the same problem? Do I need to update the DIY firmware for better use in Malaysia?

Besides that, can anyone provide step by step way to backup then update the firm ware?

Thank you for helping.
*
Bro, if the HD600AII core OS is the same as Q5II, then you might have same issue as Q5II. Please check the below link under Q5II FAQ, Q#5.

I would do that if i have Q5II.

Anyways i thought android apk can be installed anywhere without going through google store login etc.

Is it the apk itself auto detect the device?

Ok just note, not sure abt android but for apple store astro-on-the-go come in two version one is for iphone and another one ipad.

I heard the one for Ipad has higher resolution 720p while on the iphone only SD. This should applied to Android market too.
*
Bro, you can install Astro on The Go via APK file in Q5, but it will not stream because AOTG only support limited device as mentioned at AOTG web site :

Additional add-value services  to pre-modified Q5II for that purpose may boost your sales?

Modify coding is not that easy bro, I do not have Himedia overlay source code.

As per my experience, majority still look at the price instead of service :-(

Q6II is the same. You can download from HiMedia web site.

We provide our customer direct download from our skydrive as Himedia website firmware not up to date and slow transfer.

seems the reason i couldn't dwnld 1.0.5 was because 1.0.6 was about to come out!

this evening, a prompt came up on my q5ii, to update. took about 30 min, yep, 1.0.6 dated 6 mar.

what do i think of it? mixed...

good news:
.. youtube app is in there, it works
.. new launcher contains live tv (chinese channels), hitv (same as old), mango tv, media center, apps
.. live tv is like the old one, but now with many of them incl cctv, provincial stations in hd
.. mangotv is new, has a lot of stuff but not all links work, some lag bad. looks to me mangotv is a new consolidated chinese video app drawing on many sites
.. comes with separate qiyi-pps app

bad news:
.. it wipes out everything - all settings, ip, dns, whatever apps you install via apk's, e.g. cloudtv, xbmc
.. himedia browser gone, no more
.. no playstore, no histore (reinstalled old apps, don't work anymore)
.. xbmc gotham beta does not work on this firmware too

it's going to cause users a lot of  frustration esp those who have little clue how to reinstall some apps. ohmy.gif

fortunate for me, i kept on usb drive, a backup for browser, cloudtv,  reinstalled. for xbmc, need to add sources, get addons, settings, advancesettings.xml all over again. sad.gif

first glance, i m not sure if good value added with this 1.0.6. if no significant benefit, i hope they don't change firmware too often since it's time consuming to reinstall everything.
anyone having updated to 1.0.6, kindly share experience...
*
Bro, you have installed the China firmware which do not have Google Play. There is English firmware 1.0.5 available, please get it from the seller you bought. Himedia only given English firmware to authorized reseller in oversea. The English firmware come with GooglePlay, HiBrowser, MangoTV, HiStore and etc.

Get your live TV ready in XBMC and share it if you found any channels could watch FIFA 2014.

Thank you AVFAN, this is good sharing, especially for those having problem with qvod blocking at the moment.

However, I noticed some malware or spyware in the website which could affect the box performance if infected. Pls kindly install antivirus app from Google Play as precaution.

i just noticed 1.0.7 emmc eng firmware now gives a slightly different imgotv (mangotv).

the "timeshift" or china live tv stations have been removed. good news is i can find it, called "live tv" in my apps, so it can be accessed again but separately.

anyone experiencing same, look for it in my apps. if not there, then need to reinstall the app separately.

Hi AVFAN,

It is part of Himedia phase out the illegal Live TV and replaced with Timeshift from MangoTV. This is long term plan from Himedia to eliminate illegal apps. In the future HiTV will be eliminated as well.

hmm... something i dun follow...

1.0.6 had mangotv with timeshift. timeshift removed from mangotv with 1.0.7.

u mean timeshift will return to mangotv once they somehow phased out live tv?

hitv if eliminated.... bad news... sad.gif

The original Live TV and HITV will be removed soon and replaced by MangoTV legal version.
