All these programs are preinstalled in Himedia players ?


Attached thumbnail(s)

if u hv done the advancedsettings.xml correctly, 720 aac2.0 will be smooth. 720 dd5.1, dts5.1, 1080 will still lag - bad news.
that's my experience with 10mbps unifi.


where did you copy that image from? some other android box? if all that comes preinstalled and work well, it's very good.

to my knowledge, himedia q5ii comes with pps, pptv, vqq under preinstalled hitv.
1channel, icefilms, dailyflix and much more is obtainable with xbmc.
azdrama and tvb can be obtained via youtube.
qvod and the rest, no idea.

Hi,

Managed to install the transmission and aria2 download engine into q5ii.

yes, i copied from other android box which they says their box got such software, so before purchasing, I wanna see if himedia gotor can install such software too

my himedia q5ii is connected to the unifi router. from the router, there is a gigabit connection to my pc server running windows mediaplayer (added to library) i.e. allow device to play my media.

from the Q5ii setup, i switch on LAN and turn off wireless. I can use this LAN to surf internet. however it can not access DLNA. it always display "No DMS found"

when I switch ON wireless, I can access the network folder and play video. why ?

HiMedia 1.0.6 official english firmware release‏ for emmc version Q3II. Q5II, Q6II n Q10II (non emmc model still nid wait)

1. support DVD ISO
2. support IOS 7 mirror
3. support WIFI hotspot
4. fix some 3D BDISO playback issue
5. built in XBMC and Youtube
6. Two launcher switch by press Arrow key UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT+ Volumn key +/-

pls require the download link if u nid for above models ,

For 6QII, need to download firmware also? Cannot update by itself by choosing some menu and option?

my Q5II is dual core, so is non emmc version right?

ccs, thanks for link. done the update on q5ii emmc model, just like to share my comments:

*
.. 1.0.6 is not very different from 1.0.5 which already has mangotv and hitv
.. 1.0.6 has playstore and u-tube working good; not so sure about hi-store as i also uploaded it with backup apk
.. airplay for ipad ios7 is smoother
.. it comes with xbmc frodo 12.2, i do not know if this preinstalled version works better than apk installed 12.3
.. if u r on 1.0.3 or 1.0.4, than the update will be good as u can enjoy mangotv which has a larger library of mainly chinese stuff with one hongkong section, one with blockbusters dolby 5.1
.. mangotv also offers live tv chinese stations, many in hd (for hd, some work well, some dun, depend on so many factors, we know)

**
.. there is one tricky thing - the himedia launcher/homepage and myapps will not show hitv and mangotv widgets (copyright issues, i believe) but they are there if you check settings-apps-all. so, how to get to them? need another launcher! i do not understand what is meant by no. 6 above, maybe ccs can explain in detail. i use this solution: install nova launcher which will have all of them in apps, place widgets to toggle between the 2 launchers.

***
.. always update with settings-update, use of restore method will wipe out everything incl all settings
.. 1.0.6 eng launcher is very different from 1.0.6 china launcher; i actually like the china launcher better but that hasn't got playstore which is impt


overall, 1.0.6 eng emmc is good, go get it. non-emmc, think it shud be out very soon.

great news... hohoho..!
i tried this 12.2, good. dun even need to do advancedsettings.xml.
tried on mashup, dailyflix and icefilms.
720p 2.0, 720p dd5.1, 720p dts5.1, 1080p 2.0, 1080p dd5.1 all good. no lagging, no stuttering, no crashing.
just that i have not come across a 1080p dts5.1 link to try.

i took a peep at the unzipped firmware folder and found the xbmc apk to read:
xbmc_12.2_hiplayer vs the usual xbmc-12.3-Frodo-armeabi-v7a which means this xbmc apk is customised for himedia.
bravo!

one thing to know - this xbmc 12.2 in the 1.0.6 eng firmware will come out chinese. you need to know where to click to set to english. try to memorise the positions by heart.... system->setting->appearance->international->language.

himedia incl q5ii emmc and non-emmc are pretty good with chinese stuff but was not so good with xbmc which offers a whole lotta goodies. with the customised firmware 1.0.6 tailored for xbmc, we can get the best of everything.

enjoy!

Thanks for the info. I think I no reason to upgrade for now... Maybe next version la.

pls pm add to download

hi guys... my bro upgrade the q5 ii to 1.0.6 via the system settings and I found that alot of things are missing... anyone can help to advise me where to get back the 1.0.4 firmware or where to download add-ons like google playstore, etc

check post #373... i tried to warn!

was the update done via online or usb?

if online or 1.0.6 china version, u wil not get playstore as google is banned in china. some others may be missing too. best to get the eng version as it has everything. non emmc model, it is not available yet, need to wait.



if yr model is q5ii emmc and u installed 1.0.6 eng via usb, the "missing" stuff is actually there. they just don't show up in the new homepage. check my apps, check settings/apps/all. you need another launcher to have them show up.

i can't explain well... ccs and others can explain better.

the confusion is obvious and understandable given two submodels - q5ii emmc and q5ii non emmc. then 2 unique firmwares for each of them - china and eng versions. firmware keeps getting updated. so, many possible combinations to mixed up, trouble....!!

yo i saw 1 of this android tv device n i found it very interesting.
i dont know how it should work..
can i ask, is torrent download on pc will interrupt when watching tv with this device if it sharing the same internet connection? i mean does it work same as tm hypptv, as it wont get interrupted when downloading.
does the tv lag or change resolution while theres someone else using the internet for youtube or surfing and of cos downloading at the same time..

i only using unifi 5mb by the way. tq

who wanna try monster e iptv apk,pm me
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3091893&hl=

this is depends the apps which u use n the source resolution de, be honest 5mbs speed is not good enough for those HD channel or streaming HD quality movie de, especially rush hour

but for normal quality source should be ok de
