I tried to play fullhd movie using xbmc and i find it to be very lag. Anyone face this issue? I have the Q5II. But if I use back the normal way, then its all fine and smooth.

you mean streaming hd movies with xbmc vs playback of media files?

i dun think the issue is with the q5ii.

streaming smoothness depends on the speed you have, the integrity of the sites you access, the infra traffic, etc.
i get it smooth with some, jerky with others.
mashup is usually fine, 1channel and icefilms less so.

paid channels usually are good, free ones - anything goes...

playback - all is good, like any other media player.

nope. its playback from local media via wireless connection. using the built it browser it works ok, but on xbc lag. normal non hd video is ok.

what should i do? is it some setting in xbmc i set wrongly? or maybe the firmware version is old?

i c...

but why wud u want to playback via xbmc and not file manager direct?

about xbmc, i was trying to tweak the settings to improve the 720p streaming but then realised the settings were for playback. u may want to try tweaking a bit and c how...

go: system-settings-video.... there are things like refresh rate, sync, etc there to play with. let us know if it helps.

coz i wan to use the xbmc feature to pull down movie/tv info for that file..

What refresh rates and resolutions are available over HDMI?  Does it support 23.976 and 59.940 or only 24.0 and 60.0 fps output like all other Android players?  Hope this one does not repeat or drop frames because HDMI refresh rate does not match movie refresh rate of 23.976.

i dun know enuf...

i only noticed under xbmc settings, there is an option to "auto refresh" but is for playback only.

Bought q5 II from seller yesterday.Everything is working good.Is there anyway to make youtube apps from playstore working ,?beside have to use browser

Nothing to do with xbmc.  Isn't there some place in the system display settings where you select 1920x1080p 60Hz, 1280x720 50Hz, etc. for the display mode of your TV?

I just want to know what modes are supported by this player for playing 1920x1080p 23.976 videos.  You can use the files I linked with moving bars to see if the refresh rate is correct for each type of file.  The bars will jump or freeze and not play 100% smoothly if the display mode is wrong.

Since it supports 3D Blu-Ray iso files, it must at least support 1920x1080p 24 fps frame-packed display format over HDMI 1.4.

support format should be same de, video playback if just using a 32' or 42' inch TV quality no different de

for q10ii compare with q5ii heat dissipation function is much better de, do not only see the spec in internet, really nid test the real unit de

thx
