Is anyone else here facing lag issues when streaming HD movies online in XBMC? I've tired everything I can, even resetting my Q5 to the bare minimum without any apps. When streaming SD movies, there is no issue however HD 720/1080 lags terribly. I doubt its my network as I have XBMC installed on my PC and it plays HD movies flawlessly. Even on my mobile phone connected to wifi streaming HD movies online has no issues.

Hope someone can share any solution? Or is it hardware related? BTW im streaming using Mashup HD Movies link on my Q5 II

Bro, have you added advancedsetting.xml?

Hi Nicety. I notice there is a Q16. What is the difference compare to Q5II/6II/10II? TQ

Q16 is same as Q6II except it has 16GB of Flash. However, I would like to share that we have not tested this model and not yet plan to import this model as the new model might have stability problem.

HiSilicon chip used in Q5ii doesn't support hardware decoding required by XBMC Frodo to decode 720p and above movies.
Wait for XBMC Gotham maybe can work.
Only default Himedia player able to do hardware decode via local sources, such as network, usb.
NIcety probably could highlight to Himedia support ont his issue.

bro, thanks to your prompting, i have done that, how to article:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-T...the_video_cache
from the article, only one of the ways mentioned will work for frodo 12.x.
the other ways are for frodo 13.x.

my results for q5ii non emmc wired and emmc wireless lan, after a couple of days testing:

.. 720 aac2.0/mp3 - very good, no problems
.. 720 dd5.1 - good, usually ok
.. 720 dts5.1 - not good, jerky
.. 1080 any audio - no good, very jerky

overall, i am quite satisfied with the improvement. less crashing also.

i just watched frozen 2013, 720 aac 2.0 - all smooth:
xbmc->istream->search->frozen 2103->movreel hd

there has been a lot of comment on himedia's performance with xbmc. i agree we all hope the new firmware or xbmc gotham will allow 720p/dts and 1080p to stream nicely.

meanwhile, i must also say himedia's hitv (and mangotv i guess) are very good for chinese stuff - sd and hd. this part, i do not know if other androidtv boxes offer equivalent or better. but for sure xbmc is helpless here - has some similar links like pptv, pps, vqq but they don't work at all.

Updated my Q5II to 1.0.5 via System Upgrade in Settings. After update, all apps are intact and working properly, including the Mango app.
HiTV can be accessed using any of the servers, not just the HK server.

Thank you for feedback bro.

Mango TV very much depend on the Internet bandwidth. However this is bonus from Himedia which I am very much appreciated. Hope to see more functionality from Himedia in the future.

Mine 10mbps. It seems at peak hour very much not accessible.

As I always said, 10Mbps provided by TM is within Malaysia only. When you stream oversea, you may just get few M only. MangoTV server is hosted in China.

then it is from China side to depends on .. not from Malaysia..
