Thank you for inquiry, just text you my number.

Just recently got u Q5 Pro. Any guide on how to update the Firmware ?

Currently my Q5 Pro is working fine. Just some minor issue with Youtube and I dont really watch Blueray files, still need to update ?

I did not recommend to upgrade if you did not need the bluray full menu.

Anyhow, if you would like to upgarde just download the firmware from OneDrive as per link mentioned in the getting started guide. You found firmware upgrade step by step guide in the OneDrive.

Hi Nicety,

I was thinking whether to buy Himedia 5 Pro or a mini PC with intel celeron N3550. Both can play videos (VLC player for PC), Kodi (for PC and android) and even android apps (through bluestacks). Both costs about the same and about the same size.

At the moment I am leaning towards a mini PC because I can carry the mini PC to a hotel or friend's place and hook up to the TV or monitor to access my emails, do work on MS Office or make a powerpoint presentation.

I would also like to watch videos from my hard disk and streaming videos of CNN news, National Geographic and sports.

Which do you think will make a better choice - Himedia 5 Pro or mini PC with Intel celeron N3550?

Is the Himedia's HiSilicon Hi3798C V200 (Cortext A53) quad-core 64-bit processor better than the Intel N3550 in terms of playing and streaming video?

What are the advantages and disadvantages between the two?

Your feedback will help me to make an informed decision in choosing between the two.

One of the key selection criteria for TV box is the video and audio codec. Please compare the supported codec between N3550 and Hi3798 CV200 then you understand the differences.

If you buy typical PC desktop, you need bundle good sound card and display card, for the Hi3798 CV200 the sound and video codec and processing are build-in the chipset.

i would advice u to separate the two.

it is not just a matter of processor.

mini-pc windows may be good for work, worksheets, presentations, emails - with security.
but typically not good for entertainment apps; most android apps do not hv windows versions.
can play back but video/audio quality average.

android boxes are dedicated to android apps, and in the case of Q5pro, has superior quality playback output.
can read emails but is not as secure as windows.
much cheaper than a mini-pc... 50% of the price?

Hi Guys,

Due to my Google accnt password issue I removed my Google Accnt from my Q5.
Now I got the password reset. Working fine.

But now I'm unable to add new Google Accnt in the device, can't even log in to YouTube
Also play store is not launching at all.

Please advise how can I solve this.

where did u buy this q5pro?

Already PM nicety and explained the issue.

Thank you Nicety and AVfan for the explanation. I have a better idea now between a mini pc and media player.
