Don't use wired mouse, use wireless mouse.

That, together with the remote is good, can do everything.

I use that for 3years now.

I have a mele keyboard mouse hardly used... Keys are too small for my fat fingers.

im using k400 before for my set-up box minix.
the mousepad is ok, same for keyboard. but then i realise seldom use the keyboard function, only the mousepad.

the recent, home and back button can be use on that keyboard but u need to know the key mapping.

after use it for quite a while, i think its to big for me to use. so i use fly mouse now. minix branded too and its better than k400, small, got small keyboard, got button for play/pause etc. also got IR for me to turn it on/off the set-up-box.

Same thing.  Bought the Q10 pro from digital mall philips kiosk last sunday.  Came home to try setup kodi.  It requires lots of inputing of website which the remote is not meant for it.  So i connected a wired mouse to make inputting keyboard easier.  Still it's not very fast as the keyboard interface is laggy.  Like i need to wait half a second before input the next key.  So no fast typing allowed.  However, in youtube video i saw some guide videos where they can input keys and it appear as fast as computer keyboard input.  Wonder how is that done.  The constant switch between mouse and remote is tiresome.  Some function require remote, such as menu button to load profile, to delete file, to swap subtitles etc.  Some addon can only be clicked with mouse, the remote totally cannot access it.  Is there a good all rounder where I can control it all in one for Himedia Q10 pro?

To the guy who getting K400r.  What is your review of it?

Found this klang valley seller for the remote.  Any users here already use this model of remote? Any comment about the remote?

When I first launched my Q10 pro, I will be going into the android home page. From there I can add icons to be put on the home page as I can use the + button. the sizes of the buttons seems to vary. How to resize those buttons and how to remove some buttons?

I recently bought a HiMedia Q5 Pro. I have my video on my NAS, a 720p movie, DTS & 5.1. When I play the movie via Kodi, it lag and lots of frame are droping.

Using my HiMedia 600A to play the movie from my NAS, dont have this problem?

Can anyone know whats is wrong, any optimisation for the Q5 or Kodi?

thank you and thanks to AVFAN for your invaluable advice. It all works now. However, there in no HiDLNA.apk for the q10pro I think it's already built in. The trick, strangely enough, to get the networking working was after enabling samba which i did long ago was:

enabling the networking password (and then disabling if you don't want to use it then disable and then enable samba.

seems wierd but it worked for me, i have 2 q10 pros so i followed that religiously and all 3 now can file share/network.

what is TS?
*** TS = Transport Stream one of the many video formats. Google and see.

66gb... is that a uhd4k 2160p video? as in 3840 x 2160?
*** 1920 * 1080 at 25 frames /s

if yr tv OR avr is not 4k, u will not get video. no downgrading.
*** TV is only HD, bought some 6 yrs ago. I have tried some sound and video test programs from Kodi, eg #6 as highlighted below. I can play it in my Q5 Pro and HD TV though it is 10 bit color and UHD file. My old TV does not have 10 bits color or UHD features and yet I can play it. Think there is an automatic downgrade to what the TV can handle.


Don't tell me my TV I bought 6 years is 10 bits color and UHD which I am not aware of! Ha. 10 bits and UHD were in their research/development phase then.

what is AOK?
***  AOK = OK = fine = all right
That is, I can play the #6 UHD TS file.

newer PCs/monitors can take 1440p, i.e. 2560x1440.
*** My PC monitor is about 12 yrs old now and still can play the 66 GB TS file using VLC on my PC. Think there is also an automatic quality downgrade to suit the monitor.

that other TS file on kodi in the same box, same tv, it works - does it work when playing with q5pro native player?
what resolution is it?
***  Maybe what I said earlier is confusing.
Can play #6 TS file above (0.6 GB)
Cannot play the other big TS file (66GB). Have tried the Kodi default player & DVD player (with sound but no picture). Using VLC apps, got picture and sound but breaking. Not watchable.

1280×720 (HD, 720p)
1920×1080 (FHD, Full HD, 2K 1080p)
2560×1440 (QHD, WQHD, Quad HD, 1440p)
3840×2160 (UHD, Ultra HD, 4K, 2160p)
7680×4320 (FUHD, Full Ultra HD, 8K, 4320p)

Just to check that 66gb file's video encoding parameters and see if it's supposed by the box or not lor...

Bitrate...

Can happen to any file-format when not done properly.

No worries mate.

Just for info, hardware decoding relies on a combo set/range of audio and video codec, if your combo is wrong or encoded in suboptimal parameters, you get these problems. Software decoding is more forgiving hence vlc can play. It was designed to play all kinds of codec.

I have a wdtv live and this issue is even worse due to limited range of codec suport and codec combo. Some files I had to stream from PC running serviio (ftp)  & ffmpeg (decode/re-encode on the fly) in order to watch via wdtv on the big screen. At that time, mp4, h264, etc was gaining momentum...the syndicates haven't standardized on ripping/encoding parameters so now & then I get problematic files...they played well in the PC just not on the wdtv

All wrong!!!... cannot profile like that bro...hahaha...

Mechanical...TAR College...

Cleaned up by removing unwanted apps, install kodi 16. Surprise, surprise, this old box works. Manage to watch 1 movie and 1 TV drama smoothly in kodi. I'm amazed, learning more about what Android box can do. So far, no issue on movies in HDDs but not 4k or those extreme stuffs. Wonder what more apps to add.

Unfortunately, no Bluetooth, can't use wireless hp. Might add Bluetooth transmitter. Or any suggestion? Is welcome

Himedia box age well

Ok noted, thanks for your explanation, then no choice have to use the TV build in OS to watch netflix 4k and youtube 4k

But I like it cause Nicety installed many apps for me in it which yet to explore.

I will check it tonight  yesterday after set it up was late and need to go sleep. Anything cool that you can share or do with this box . 

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?

That's one apps might suite your needs. I normally don't recommend these kind of apps platform because they have advertisement. I don't like apps attached with adds. But these one consider the far less than others that I came across.

You can choose the dramas and episodes you like to watch.
