just to share my experience with q5ii on worldcup2014 live so far:


1... best is mangotv/timeshift/cctv1 hd - the hd video is superb! occasionally runs into buffering issue but not much. commentary in mandarin. i use this channel mostly.

2... astro-on-the-go - its started ok one day1, now... while no crashing, the video is poor most of the time, buffers often for 0000 and 0300 matches. it becomes good again at 0600 match, which means trouble when the traffic is high, insufficient bandwidth, bottlenecks at peak times...??

3... cloudtv, go to sports category, many channels but.. look for supersportworldcupbrazil - this brazilian 2hd channel is stable, video good enough. commentary in portugese.

4... xbmc, go to navi-x, lots of channel in various languages. best one i found is a brazilian feed in one of the "worldcup live" links.


i am happy with what i can get!

yr unit can upgrade to 1.0.5 eng non-emmc. 1.0.6 eng non-emmc not available.

can't get from yr seller? if yes, u know wat to do next time.

really, i wonder how many sellers and resellers here just sell and disappear? why so bad...??

worse for himedia as the products are actually quite good, well worth it, imo.

it shudn't be. whether 2, 3 or 4 usb ports, all shud work.

looks like hardware failure to me.

probably no point trying to repair. either live with it or buy a new unit....

i can't help here.... becos yrs is q10, not same as q5 which i hv.

but hopefully, some other q10ii owner can help you.

it is best u get good link from seller becos for eng versions, the website versions can be wrong or hv malware.

if your device was on 1.0.6 china firmware, check if it has auto-updated to 1.0.7 china.

my q5ii non-emmc was "forced" to auto-update.

have not checked it thoroughly, but saw a new feature for making shortcuts with remote.

good news this time, it did not wipe out my existing apps, all remained intact, unlike the last time.


with that, it doesnt' look like there will be a 1.0.6 non-emmc eng.

and, 1.0.7 emmc eng should be coming soon.

1..0.5 eng and 1.0.7 china.

like I just said, becos 1.0.7 china is already out, looks unlikely 1.0.6 eng will come.
which means likely no more new eng firmware for non-emmc....

main difference is china one doesn't have playstore. becos google is banned in china.

can't remember... is yr device non emmc, what firmware now? if non emmc and on 1.0.6 china, u shud get auto update. but i suspect this auto update comes in batches for diff batches of devices, not all at same time. so, maybe just wait for it to come.

all gothams dun work on himeida, u hv not been following my posts...!
remove gotham, reinstall 12.3 or better still, hiplayer 12.2.
i will stick to hiplayer 12.2 until there is official hiplayer gotham 13.x.

probably due to heavy traffic for the matches now, there is increasing buffering in all channels.
just need to try a few and see which one works best at the time.

i check cloudtv, xbmc/navi-x (several channels here), mangotv/timeshift and aotg. one of them will work ok.
for aotg, try exiting and re-entering the channel, it usually improves.

that's gud to know.

can u describe a bit more when playing gotham:

.. do u need to add or tweak the advancedsettings.xml file?
.. does it still crash sometimes or all smooth?
.. does it lag when streaming 720/1080 dd/dts?

tq.

no need to start new thread, can use an existing one - started by a user, many of us been posting there too.

i actually suggested/tried that some months ago, but posts continued here, so...



anyway, i will respond to juniper and neooren there:

caring sellers/resellers welcome to help out there!
