Spotify apps is available....so nice to stream music on your tv

Hi nicety,

Received your Q5ii 2 days after I ordered. thanks!.

Found a software that do USB audio out, will try it out and post the feedback here.

I have encountered a few problem with the Q5ii, hope you can help:

- Access play store from screen, it closes on its own. Re-try a few times having the same results, after 4-5 re-try it went in properly. The same is happening after restarting the Q5ii.

- Tried to install an app via google play (4mb app file), it says insufficient space. (NOTE: Q5ii still stock with nothing added so far except google chrome since i got it) I believe the memory/space still available.

- Am using a wireless keyboard and mouse, found that the response is slow intermittently. e.g. you move the cursor it to the left/right it takes about 2-3 seconds to respond. this problem will be there for a few minutes, then the response is back to normal. After a while it may be slow again as what explained previously. Then it is back to normal again. Very annoying.

- FYI for troubleshooting, i've hooked up a 2TB HDD to the Q5ii. Running on Unifi 5mb line

Thank you for inquiry, pls find below my answer :
1). Goto Setting -> apps -> GooglePlay -> clear cache and clear data. Restart the GooglePlay again it should ask for Google account login again. If still the same, please create a fresh new Google account and try again.

2). I have installed many apps in the box, pls delete some unwant apps before installed new apps. Goto setting -> storage to check the memory space.

3). Pls try the wired mouse to see if the same.


If you manage to get the audio output to USB, pls feel free to share.

Hi Guys, I must say this is hell of a community!!

I am not from Malaysia, but I was there a few months back. This himedia actually got my attention, and I was soon convinced to purchase this device.

lelong was recommended to me to find dealers for this device.., and there I found a re-seller. When I called him, he told me that he was from Melaka, and since I had to leave Malaysia soon, he was kind enough to refer me to a KL based re-seller of Himedia (he did not know him, but saw his posts in similar forums.)

First impression, nice folks selling himedia, and supporting each other.

So I purchased this himedia q5ii emmc box from Digital Mall.

And the next day it was not turning on, and I had my flight the same day. So in hurry I went back to the mall, and told the dealer my story, since he did not have the replacement unit, he replaced my hi-media q5ii with q10ii (I had to pay the difference.)

And since the past two-three months, I have been using and following the forum of this nice guy nicety!!

I registered on this forum, just to say and support Nicety, I have learned alot from this forum, especially Nicety recommendations.

I am facing one problem, i.e. I have been trying to play 1080p videos play via mashup in xbmc, and they always play on 720p resolution.

Device: Q10ii emmc
Firmware: 1.0.5
Display set on Himedia for TV: 1080p 60Hz
Xbmc:12.2 (downloaded from xbmc.org)
Mxplayer also installed.

Nicety, I tried following the posted on page 44, and downloaded playcorefactory.xml and placed in userdata. And now, 1080p videos don't even play at all.

Earlier they used to play, but in 720p resolution.

Anyhelp would be really appreciated.

Keep up the Excellent work guys!!

ciao!

Thank you bro, unfortunately most of the buyers still prefer to buy from the shop :-(

if you download from xbmc.org, it only support 720p resolution. Anyhow playing online 1080p movies does not really made sense because you will not get the real 1080p effect over online streaming. A real 1080p movies streaming required constant 40 Mbit/s of network throughput. 1080p movies should stream via local HDD or LAN network.

playcorefactory.xml setting is merely to switch from XBMC player to external Player. It will not help to play 1080p movies.

Hey Nicety, Thanks for the prompt reply!

Me, not being a local in MY had two challenges, 1) I did not have a bank account to do proper online shopping, and 2) Cash-On-Delivery was present on Lazada and some suppliers on Lelong, that is why I was lurking there, as I had no other choice, other than doing COD in KL area.

Please, take some time and post in your profile on those sites, as I did not find you there And your presence on such forums could be very beneficial for people like me.

Moreover, you do make sense, no point of streaming 1080p Videos.

Although I have Q10ii, with HDD Dock, I don't have that Disk. eRgh

Instead I have a USB3.0 2TB disk, which I have plugged in the Q10ii to play movies from.
I don't know how to create this NAS to plug this USB in my workstation, and play movies on Q10ii directly.

Anyways, I must say that the performance of Himedia player is pretty okay, and I hardly see any difference between Himedia Player and mxplayer performance. playing 1080p movies.

But the hassle is there to move around mediacenters. I think I do like XBMC, and will somehow one fine day learn to play 1080p from there aswell, instead of playing movies from Himedia Player.

One feedback to folks out there, I tried using Jabra USB speaker/mic device in Q10ii to be used with my skype, and it does not work. Maybe I am missing something, but so far it did nto work.

I will hang around just to learn a few things, and maybe try to share my experiences with the people joining in this community.

Thanks again!!

Thanks for sharing your experience bro. NAS "network attached storage" was initially designed for enterprise file sharing. Today entry level NAS are very much cheaper for home use media storage or media library. You can get easily from ordinary computer shop. You also could turn your Himedia box into NAS, just goto Settings -> Samba Service -> Start. After that you can see the folder sharing from your computer or other media player. You also can control the access by enter the login name and password.

hey thanks for the heads up, will give it a try, once I actually fill up my 2TB attached to Q10ii.

Btw, are you facing the random XBMC crash issue?
It is kind of weird, sometimes it happens, and sometimes it works good..

Anyone knows how to fix it?

Cheers

Yes, this happen happen to some of the addon, there is no permanent fix at the moment. Hope XBMC could rectify in the next version.

I am using Q5II from nicety...excellent service and product i must say I have a question and hope to get some advice....hahahaha.

How to select subtitle file ya (srt file) if i am using the Himedia Player. The srt is not embedded. Thanks

Thank you for the support bro :-)

Just place the SRT file same folder as your media file, the player will auto pickup the subtitle.

Hi nicety,

I am using Q6II emmc. May I have the link to download English Firmware 1.06?

And why I cannot watch IMGOTV (芒果TV). It said MAC cannot identify?

About the MangoTV, if you bought from me, pls PM me your MAC address and your email address. If you bought other seller then you need to talk to your seller.

for some movies in MangoTV, we can only preview for 10-15 mins. you have to purchase to watch full movie. is this true?
