Just bought the Q6II last nite. Can play MKV with DTS HD MA as well as dobly HD. No issue.

But fail at the DTS Wave files (DVD-Audio), which just generate noise.

Anyone else experince the same thing?

can someone guide me how to access my laptop movies from himedia q5II??? and also where to download the latest Himedia firmware????

can't read chinese well... T.T

me either but manage to do some translate.. name me ur model emmc or non emmc?

for laptop u can find out how to share over network as samba... i remember u need to share to everyone..
then from himedia u got to samba then u will see your folder there and put in ur credential if required.. voila.. u get ur shared folder there..

so far using wifi i can work up to 720p smooth.. 1080p lag at starting and sometime in between the run...

mine is the non-emmc model... i tried the NFS Server but can't get Himedia to detect my shared folder...

thanks in advance for your guidance ^^

good news for qe5ii owners finding lagging in xbmc 720p/1080p streaming.

one way (not sure if it is the only way) is to overwrite a file to change the cache size so that a bigger buffer is used.

very impt, first read and do what this page says:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-T...the_video_cache
save the file named advancedsettings.xml described in the article on a usb drive (sd1), plug into machine.
using es file explorer, find this file:
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata
copy the xml file onto it; u will be asked to overwrite existing file, ok.

the xml file is this:

<advancedsettings>
<network>
<cachemembuffersize>104857600</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

not sure if all default is the same but that new file modifies the cache size, increases it by 5 times. 100mb cache apparently requires 300mb ram which is ok for q5ii which has 1gb ram.

720p aac2.0 is now easy, 720p dd5.1 even dts 5.1 ok. 1080p dd5.1 seems to be a bit jerky still.

not responsible if the above will give you problems but it worked for me, so just sharing, ya?


another tip - the "grrrr" noise when streaming 720p/1080p... this seems to be the problem only with hdmi. if you connect the audio via coaxial/optical to avr, the audio is perfect - for both dolby and dts.

bro try the samba option from here



as for the update you can reach here..
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1jGFkHqY#dir/path=%...9E%9C%E5%97%A8Q

look for QII file without emmc.


I think that will bring u to 1.0.5 which integrated with mangoTV


Your interface will be changed to something like attached.

You will lose application like PlayStore so if you highly rely on PlayStore its recommended not to upgrade to 1.0.5

dude can this work for 12.3 Froyo version?

thanks for the great tip... n the warning for the missing Playstore after upgrade... i guess for now i won't update it since i do use Playstore.. ^^

actually, is 1.0.5 a beta version?

becos when i checked at system upgrade, it says my current firmware is the latest, no update...

think i'll wait for official release... dun wanna lose playstore n anything else!

the xml file i showed is supposedly good for xbmc v12.
i did that on frodo 12.3, worked good.

erm.. i am not sure if that is official but can be fetch from himedia forum. i dont read chinese so i m not sure..

for the system firmware i checked thru the system its still 1.0.3.

now i have find my own apk since playstore never there already.. troublesome indeed

cool then.. i might wan to try on that.. but xbmc itself will lag for local media (not streaming) 720p. have u experience that?

now have gotham already they might already fix that but the problem is the addon is not compatible with gotham so it forces me to stick with froyo

tis one is a different probem. been discussed elsewhere - u need to root it and do something else.
i never bothered as i dun use xbmc for playback, prefer to use media center/file manager.
or my other media player.

did more research on SMB and NFS... it seems that SMB is more for SD quality media, it is recommended to use NFS for HD quality media.

I have Q10. I shared a folder on my PC. Then I try to look (using the Q10 File Manager) for my folder. It keep searching and cannot find. Pls help

it might be true but the configuration for NFS are more complicated... I am not sure if there's anyone able to sucessfully doing so from a PC or latop. As far as i know we need to have a software or application that will read the folder that you share and serve it on network something like NAS.

Hi guys, anybody know how to use the learning function in Q5ii remote control to control the TV (on/off, volume)?

guys,

I'm very frustrated with my Q5ii.. XBMC always shutdown by itself after about 10 minutes..had try to remove and install for more than 10 times but still the same.i believe i install the correct version of 12.3 frodo from xbmc.org. when streaming 1080p movie it was laggy. i can confirm not my internet connection cause when i stream from my laptop it was smooth

anyone care to help me? please

it has something to do with your broadband speed.
pc/laptops seem to handle xbmc a bit better but it also crashes on my pc sometimes, on 10mb speed.

xbmc is more sensitive to the connection stability and speed than other apps like cloudtv or hitv, in my experience.
it crashes whenever the data flow is unstable or too slow coming, won't wait long to buffer.

if u installed frodo 12.3 correctly, no need to reinstall anymore.
if using wireless, try wired, it works better.
if too many addons, disable or uninstall some of them as they tend to slow things down when there are updates.
try modifying the cache size (my earlier post) to incr buffer, will help - but this will require some work.
