壹电视新闻台

Thank you for sharing the HDP live TV, your tips are always useful and benefit all. This is how to optimize the box where all buyers share their finding. Especially there are millions of android apps in the market, not all are good but some are really best.

You got the point AVFAN. Android Apps are getting larger and buffering/cache data is getting huge as well. It is critical to have higher local storage, 4GB/8GB will no longer enough to cater future large Android Apps.

This is the reason that trigger us to source for larger flash memory player such as Q16 and MINIX X8H. Q16 quad core 16GB EMMC flash has 4GB partition for apps and 9GB for Data/Cache. This will be sufficient to cater future needs of large apps such as XBMC.

yep. with more n bigger apps, will need 16gb.
my q5ii has just about reached its limit, can't install more apps anymore...

In HDP we can add another channel list created by netizens.

1. Navigate left/right to the management list, click on channel management to go to netizens' selections, such as 'su zhou ... - li', 'black horse ...' (in Chinese) etc. Select any one of them and wait till you see a channel list on the right of the screen, then press Return key.

2. Another way to do it is to press Menu key, select channel management ... (as above)

The selected list was one click to the left of the management list.

Check out the 'black horse ...' first, then try others.

Enjoy.

sicheh, tqvm for sharing the apk and the netizens info.

played with it a bit more.... good!
i find the channels in this apk more stable than those in livetv, has some hd ones too!
and yes, like u said, this one seems to be unaffected by china access problems/restrictions.

for those who want to try n can't read perfect chinese like me, take note:

.. after installation, there are about 35 "programs" - by china locations e.g. shanghai, guangdong, hubei, etc. - navigate by pressing ok and arrow left/right.
.. besides these preset program sets, there is one named "netizens" where u can select or deselect the sets (about 10) made by users. once selected, the whole set is activated, if u dont want some channels in the set, can deselect.
.. netizen sets n channels are a mix lot, incl even cinemax, hbo, cnn... like those found in cloudtv or csplayer. some dun work as expected, but it tells us many people have been successful in tapping into available streams, put it there, just like u can put own xml's in mashup-xbmc.
.. menu button on remote is easy to use
.. as expected the english is not perfect, may need to figure out what is meant sometimes...
.. imo, apk is poor for english channels, average for hongkong n taiwan, excellent for mainland china.
.. enjoy!

Based on some of the posts i've read here. Both Q5 and Q16 can support astro on the go?

Can just go to play store to download and install, or must download the apk seperately?

Just install from Google Play store.

q5ii... i just updated from xbmc gotham 13.1 to 13.2.
http://xbmc.org/

straightforward, no problems.

seems smoother, less buffering.

just remember to do this step if not done yet:

xbmc->settings (expert level)->system->video->acceleration->disable mediacodec

I realize that for those channels that i load based on other web user's sharing like black horse, every time i reboot my q5II, those channels will be gone. i have to go to Channel Management, and readd again.

Does anyone has similar symptom?

yes, correct. it does not save that.

but it saves a "history" page of yr last accessed channels. use arrow left right to find it.

Yes, that happens. Whenever that happens, do you see changes after you reload the channels?

If I ready the channels, yes the channels will load

plan to buy airmouse for my q5ii.... any recommendation and price please...

You can save your favourite channels in hdp to a new list titled "My Collection".
Select the channel page, press Ok to see the list of channels. Select the desired channel, press and hold down the OK key until a red star appears in that channel box.

Then navigate left or right to find My Collection page, it is located to the left of Netizen page. Your saved channel should be listed there.

Continue the procedure to compile a list of your favourite channels.

To remove a channel from the list, press and hold down OK key until the star disappears.

The HITV & Live TV are no longer working after back up & reset the Q5II. Appreciate if some one can assist on how to resolve the problem. Thank you.

HiTV doesnt seem to work today. Keep on getting connection failed error even after changing to other servers.

anyone has similar issue today?

HiTV is down today, unable to connect. No issue with HDP Live. Need to try other apps.

hitv and livetv down since 48hrs ago.

good news is mangotv is working.
hdp which is working can provide more than livetv.
pptv hd from histore, updated is working.
others in histore, dunno.

hope hitv returns soon....

Please read this for HITV related... I believe you guys understand Chinese :

beside HITV, all the Chinese Video On Demand apps (TV Version apps, not mobile version apps) no longer provide service to user who install apps on TV Box (apps can detect installed device)... you guys need to use special 'hack/modified' version only can work on TV Box... if download those apps directly from official site (Youku,Sohu,Tudo...etc) will not work on Android TV Box.
For those who need special hack/modified version of Chinese VOD TV apps which is still can work on Android TV Box then you can download this apps (装机必备) from ZNDS and install via 装机必备 the apps will work again...
