Bro nicety, thanks a lot for the clear videos illustrating, meaning Himedia player is the best? Do you mean we need to change the playercorefactory.xml file to those codelines you listed above in order to trigger XBMC to use MX player? What should we do with those ":" ha....

Also my problem is really the video lagging the audio, is that still related to internet bottleneck? Cos running similar video streaming off chinese sites like funshion doesn't lag, hence shouldn't be due to bandwidth? But then again some streams on Q5II are awesome smooth too, so probably is the problem with some of the sources that are streaming.

Which are some of the most reliable addon streams so far?

Hi nicety,

I also facing slow streaming with most of the streaming apps including PPS on my 4MB streamyx line. Currently using Google DNS btw. Do I need to use china proxy to get smoother streaming? Any fast china proxy to recommend?

Regards,
Roger

Just follow the steps pmed to you.

Please check your Internet first, if you bottleneck is Internet then no need to change DNS. My QVOD go up to 350KB/s. Pls cross check with few QVOD web site I given to you earlier.

Proxy is used to bypass Geo restriction, it will not help to boost the performance. Instead proxy some time slow down. Please pm me the list of your targeted streaming, let me find if any alternative for you.

nicety i think i need yr instruction as well. even with 5mb unifi cant seem to get xbmc n most of the streaming programs working well. not loading n lagging. not watchable.

btw the dns given by u is working fine with netflix. thx a lot.

Sure, my customers always have different priority. Just PM to you.

The solution only help if TM throttle your internet. If the root cause come from the content server or international trunk bottleneck then it will not help. xBMC online streaming is free, you need some effort to search for good content providers. There are hundreds of different content providers, you need to search for it. Alternatively, you can try the XBMC paid service as recommended by @Xnet

Regarding the Netflix, it is important to get the right Netflix reseller as they knew better than me.

LOL.. too bad u in Penang else I become your customer also already. Haha...

To edit playercorefactory.xml, you need certain knowledge of XML.

Even Fusion or other Chinese Apps are working fine that still could be internet bottleneck, there are several reasons if you understand how the Internet works:
1). Internet is a network, when you stream well from Chinese apps, it just tell you the internet route to China server is not congested, but the route to xBMC server in US could be congested during the same time.
2). Beside internet congestion, the content server is also a factor. As you mentioned some of the Chinese apps are ok while xBMC not smooth, this is because the content server using different technology. Some Chines Apps are using P2P streaming, P2P technology is similar to Bittorrent, the apps itself is smart enough to search the nearest peer to stream the data.

There are too many addon in xBMC, I could not test all but Icefilm and 1Channel is not bad. If you noticed either Icefilm or 1Channel, when you click the movies, there are couples of source for you to choose, you have to spend some effort to select the best content source.

No matter where you are the support nicety will give you awesome support.

I don't have much issue with QVOD actually, just used it to watch HK drama, even lagging also few seconds only but seldom.

Main problem only with streaming Chinese/English movies thru China based apps (Youku,Funshion,PPS..) by using proxy ip (use WIfi)
and
streaming English movies thru XBMC (use Ethernet) seems also very lagging in these few days.

I'm using 5mb Unifi.

That clearer now, your QVOD is working fine because there is no Geo restriction in QVOD.

Youku, PPS, Fushion are Geo restricted apps where the proxy could be your bottleneck. You can google China proxy to get better performance proxy, but you need some time to test.

Once again as I always repeated in this thread :


1). those free streaming services including xBMC do not have guaranty of service. We have to put the effort to find the best content providers and search for the best proxy if Geo Restricted.

2). 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps Unify is only applicable within Malaysia TM network. When your streaming travel outside Malaysia, the international trunk is shared by millions of people, your effective bandwidth could be 0.5Mbps only. Of course there are thousands of international trunk depend on where is the targeted destination, not all 0.5mbps, some very fast as well.

XBMC frequently gets crashes back to the launcher screen in the middle of movie, anyone else experienced that?

Also seems not able to get the addon for 1channel, after installing the repository, then visiting "Get add-on", the list is blank unlike other repositories where one can see the "Video add-on"....hmm.

Also is there a way to delete repositories?

Agree getting from expert seller like bro nicety is a good move; very informative tips here.

Hi, does it support full mirror of IOS7 and android device?

Yes, I am using IOS 7 from iPad and iPhone AirPlay.

Android device required HiShare to be installed, we provide HiShare APK file to customers.

Are you saying Video Airplay or Full Mirror as per Apple TV. Same view at the iPad & tv?

Yes, when video AirPlay, the TV and the iPad are exactly the same view. Pls find below video how the AirPlay works with Q5/Q5II.

Nicety, can I also ask for your advice in changing the DNS or IP for qvod or any china server?

As mentioned earlier, QVOD is not Geo Restricted, no need to do region bypass. In case throttled by local ISP then you may applied public DNS. Just Google Public DNS for detail.

For the rest of the Geo Restricted Apps, you need the proxy to bypass the restriction.

Anyone manage to root their Q5II with 1.0.3 firmware? The current way on 1st page is not working.

I might have a theory on a way to play samba share folder with himedia but i need root to do it...

Bro, still not manage to root Q5II yet.

You cannot stream from Samba shared folder? Samba client is build in Q5II as well as the samba daemon available in Q5II.
