YouTube issue has been resolved in firmware 1.0.5, pls use the YouTube version that I preinstalled. Would be appreciated your update of the playback resume.

HI all,

I think the resume problem got something to do with the video file, I am still trying to figure out why, and found out more info about the video codec used in the affacted mkv file.

Youtube problem I have to use the version from nicety or the version comes with this firmware, latest version from playstore won't work, according to nicety latest youtube apps might not work with all android TV box. Funny though, it is working fine with all tablets, Ipad, cheapo chinese tablet as well, maybe Android TV box has a different design.

Anyway I have flashed with 3rd party 1.0.5 firmware because this version stop the online update prompt, I am still thinking of updated with 1.0.6 chinese firmware version from nicety.

Nevertheless, thanks again to nicety for the fantastic after sales service

Thanks for the compliment bro. We might not able to resolved all issues, but we could always feedback to Himedia or provide the workaround solution. Please feel free to feedback if you encounter any issues.

Something else to share. If you plan to use force update, please remove all SDacrd, wireless mouse dongle, leave only the USB drive in the USB port, else the unit will complain update failed.
You can also do the update from system, update menu, select the drive letter that contain the update file, I tried this method for few times it always keep all my apps intact, however it will cause conflicts if major update is involved, so the force update method is still the safest.

Hi All,

I got a 2nd hand Q5 early this year from my relative.

To watch youtube, I am using "Youtube For GoogleTV" version 1.7.6 downloaded from here:-

HI

I'm new to this, need your advise. I'm looking a smart tv device which can play astro channels and other free streaming tv programs including world cup 2014...

Thanks

I would not recommended free streaming for world cup since free streaming does not guarantee the service availability. I would recommend to subscribe to CloudTV service on monthly basis.

For Astro, you need to download Astro on the Go from Googleplay store or ASTRO WEBSITE.

Those claim to tap on ASTRO program will very soon running out of service. ASTRO spend millions in buying copyright from overseas licensee, dun think they will turn blind eye on privacy problem.

i've been installing astro OTG lately, and found it is not stable while playing worldcup live using my Q5ii. The app running well on my iphone and s4. The app crash or exit while playing the live football match.

Android is open system, it is installed in all different chipset, different smart phones, tablets, different brand and models.
A good Android developer will test their app in all different chipset to fix the bugs if found any. However, most of the local developer do not do this, but just test in common popular devices such as IOS or Samsung only.

However Astro OTG has already improved, earlier it could only run in iPad and Samsung Note. Your problem mainly due to coding compatibility with HiSilicon chipset.

Below link(question #3) show how CloudTV test there app in various chipset :

just to share my experience with q5ii on worldcup2014 live so far:


1... best is mangotv/timeshift/cctv1 hd - the hd video is superb! occasionally runs into buffering issue but not much. commentary in mandarin. i use this channel mostly.

2... astro-on-the-go - its started ok one day1, now... while no crashing, the video is poor most of the time, buffers often for 0000 and 0300 matches. it becomes good again at 0600 match, which means trouble when the traffic is high, insufficient bandwidth, bottlenecks at peak times...??

3... cloudtv, go to sports category, many channels but.. look for supersportworldcupbrazil - this brazilian 2hd channel is stable, video good enough. commentary in portugese.

4... xbmc, go to navi-x, lots of channel in various languages. best one i found is a brazilian feed in one of the "worldcup live" links.


i am happy with what i can get!

hey nicety & anyone else who faced this issue..

Any help?

Cheers..

Thank you very much for the sharing bro. I agreed with you, I watch MangoTV often then others. In addition, pls temporary use China DNS to avoid local ISP throttling.
However I hv to clarify that free service do not have guaranteed of service.

First of you you need to match the supported resolution for your TV and Q10II. Could you please share what is your Q10II resolution setting and your Samsung TV support resolution.

How can I check the resolution in Q10ii?

In TV, there's no option to check/change the resolution..

Cheers.

In Hindus, just goto Settings - display - resolution.

For your Samsung TV, you may just check the manual or pm me your TV model number.
