I see. Great idea. If there are any other such remote that be able to learn so that I can replace Unifi STB, I will be keen to. Do share if you have more findings. Thanks.

[WTA] is your media player hogging your other internet connection? i found XBMC while fetching data is hogging other wifi connection.

like to share this with q5ii and maybe other models...

check yr settings, display, see if it is set correctly. if set to 720p/50hz, picture not so good.

for some strange reason, some hd/1080p tvs dun accept the highest setting 1080p 60hz for some players.

but can try another tv, set it correctly and it will stay there even when u revert to orig tv.

i checked that becos the same thing happens with one of my other media players.

note: above only for hdmi output, has no effect with composite+l/r output which i think is preset and fixed.

hmm my q5ii lags a lot when playing local 1080p videos even when played through directly attached USB hard disk, anyone else with such problem? will test out further, if really is my machine problem then will have to bring back to supplier liao

if u play files from hdd via usb, file manager, it shud work smooth as silk, good for just about any file type.

probably no use but check the settings for video output, display and audio and see if anything set very wrong.

another thing u can do is try playing with another tv and if same problem appears.

lastly, is the 1080p file mkv or some other type? popular ones incl avi-mkv-mp4-m2ts shud b no problem.

now it seems to be ok lol, don't know what went wrong the 1st time. Maybe it was playing through XBMC earlier and this time I use the built in media centre, hmm gotta try further.

btw using built in media centre to play videos, so long as the subtitle files are in the same folder they should be displayed automatically right?

it is known playback via xbmc is not smooth, need to do something complicated.... was discussed in other thread.

using native player via file manager is easiest.

yes, subtitles is auto. to change font size, go to settings, display.

Bro Q5 still got? How much can PM me price

ya definitely XBMC problem, zz went to remove and attach hard drive etc only to realise it's an XBMC problem.

mind pointing me to that thread that discusses the problem? meanwhile I'll google the problem later.

i tried but can't locate the posts but it's in one of these 2 threads:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2598907/+1240
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1849024/+800

got the Rikomagic MK702ii universal remote control / air mouse, after some setting up and fumbling managed to control multiple devices including tv, himedia, astro and sound system with 1 remote, pretty convenient woohoo.

tq for the posts, will check them out.

anw managed to locate network folders via the built in media centre, so not so crucial to fix xbmc for now.

u got do any setting or just plug and play again?

gotta to share this...

courtesy of arslow, mash up 1.4.0 is even better!

no i just played it through the built-in media centre directly

Is q5ii interface is 1080p and any lag when using remote control?
1080p video play is scale up or real 1080p?
Minix brand is 720p scale up to 1080p.
Cant choose between these AC ryan Valeo 2, minix neo x7 and himedia q5ii.
Pls advise.

hi.... i thought the Q5-ii has built in with DTS/AC3 audio decoder?

it dnt have built-in bluetooth de, if nid use bluetooth device nid plug a external bluetooth receiver de

q5ii hardware decode DTS/AC3 de

if not for game purpose, q5ii is the best, support format more than others also playback quality is better than other two de

i just checked pptv from histore - this app works well, incl hd stuff. some movies are in original canto audio, not mandarin dubbed.

take note this pptv also exist inisde hitv but does not work that well there - for me, at least.

vqq within hitv and this standalone pptv will give you stuuf to last you a couple of years watching!
