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.

I have a Q10II and am experiencing some issues.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but i can't use Play Store(cannot communicate) and Hicontrol won't find the device.

They are on the same network, they ping each other but something is wrong. I updated to the latest version(online update) but the problem remain.

Any help?


edit: maybe the solution of the hicontrol is here, but my account never gets verified. Someone here can read the solution?

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?

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

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

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? tongue.gif
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. thumbup.gif

thanks..may be i will try with this value, <cachemembuffersize>0, not sure if it meant for the tvbox built in 4GB flash memory? or the external HDD act as logical memory..?


<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>0</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

from the wiki article, it should work on any xbmc. only thing is use of hdd is only for frodo 13.x. frodo12.x can only use the ram method.

after a few days, i assure u the method works on q5ii for 720 aac2.0 very well. above that, no good.

I'm new in Smart TV Box and considering buying one.
But can you tell me what the main point is for buying a TV box rather than using a laptop to connect to your TV via HDMI? What can I get extra? It could be a stupid question but I really wanna know. smile.gif

the TV box is not only for connecting to laptop or external HDD... it can access to movies from xbmc, pps, pptv, etc and show it to your TV while you can still use your laptop for surfing FB or something...

but for me the important thing is i'm lazy to always connect and disconnect my external HDD (upstairs) to my TVBox (downstairs) ^^

There is download function in XBMC, but normally when you use XBMC, you no longer think about downloading... and you will slowly forgot what a torrent is...

i tried xbmc gotham beta 13.0 on q5ii.

no good. tried with various advanced settings, no difference. nothing works.

reverted to frodo 12.3, happy. biggrin.gif

before you try, pls copy userdata folder onto usb drive so that you can copy it back when reinstalling 12.3.

if not you will need to do everything all over again.



anyone with a better experience, kindly share here.
