need some ideas on my problem here..
recently my youtube app gone haywire ad..when i open a video
to watch, all i can see is only black screen with audio
did some googling abt this and some say its related with twitter app but i dont have that app installed

anyone here having same problem? my model is himedia q5 2..

oso, any custom firmware to share..heh

the YouTube thingy is a well known problem. but u can easily get utube elsewhere... either use the browser or find it in xbmc. no sweat.

or wait for next official firmware 1.0.5 which is said to have corrected the utube problem. there seems to be a version u can get from baidu or elsewhere but I dare not try, i will wait. can check if available under settings, upgrade.  at this time, nothing.....

thanks for link.

i actually had that from another user who got it successfully.

but i don't know why i can't, stuck at 0, 1, 2, 5% forever...

one strange thing i observe... from the 2 links, it looks like the same. so, for the same model, the file name shud b the same, but no... they come out, incomplete as:

BaiduYunGuanjia_4.5.0.exe.yyilc59
BaiduYunGuanjia_4.5.0.exe.6o2xffo

in fact, i think each time you dwnld supposedly the same file, a diff file name comes out. strange...

also very curious why is it a baidu thing? why doesn't himedia have it in their website? still alpha or beta, not official?

i really don't want to install it only to find all kinds of errors!
anyone, user or seller, if u r around, kindly address this issue. tq.

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.

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.

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...
