I'm trying to get himedia player to play via smb in xbmc

Hi,

What i mean, does it support screen mirroring feature like Apple TV whereby i could play game at iPad and view at the TV screen?

Last but not least, does it support OSX Airplay?

Bro, maybe you have confused between AirPlay receiver and AirPlay client. Let us share how the Air play works here.

Q5II or Apple TV are just AirPlay receiver, they do not control your iPad or iPhone. To mirror your iPad screen to Q5II, you are using the original AirPlay client(sender), no need to install any app in iPad. To answer your question whether you can play game while AirPlay, this depend on the AirPlay Sender. It is independent the receiver is Apple TV or Q5II.

I presumed OSX already preinstalled with AirPlayer Sender, just connect to the AirPlay receiver once you detected by your OSX.

Beside Apple device, any AV device come with AirPlay sender could just mirror to Q5II.

Thanks bro for the prompt response.

I'm interested with the box, but i need a confirmation on this. When i mention full mirror, i'm expecting something like this:

Is this can be done?

Because,when i read Himedia Q5 review http://www.squidoo.com/himedia-q5-android-...a-player-review it mention :

HiShare and AirPlay

"With the HiShare app and AirPlay, you can share video, audio and photo files from an Android or iOS device to the HiMedia Q5 wirelessly and instantly. All you have to do is start the HiShare app or AirPlay and select the media file that you want to share and it will play back from the TV. However, it does not have the screen mirroring feature that AppleTV does."

I'm not sure with Himedia Q5II.

Could you please enlighten me.

Thx,

Ok, you mean Samba client in xBMC.

Don't put too much effort in xBMC, the native Himedia media is capable to do samba and nfs including resume movies if you half way watching.

We have tested some samba client unable to resume MKV movies but Himedia native no problem.

Ok, I got wat you mean now. You can air play the photo, video and music as below YouTube but not AirPlay your iPad home screen. Personally, I use IOS for my iphone and iPad but I will not use Apple TV for my entertainment tools because I need the flexibility to watch movies due to lack of content in Malaysia.

its quite fun for me..

I have a general idea how himedia video player is able to play samba file. Following their way, I am able to play any file using Himedia player without using their "Samba" interface... with this, i can now link my xbmc to my NAS and get play back using himedia player (also works for mxplayer). Both mxplayer and himedia player can now play my samba share without a problem.

Previously, it only works for local playback.

But currently its not perfect yet, without root, I need to perform one additional step everytime i boot up my himedia...

Hi nicety,

The live streaming url you provided, is not xbmc addons?

Open using the built-in browser?

Anybody tried installing emulators? does PPSSPP (PSP Emulator) works on Q5 II? What about ePSXe, nds4Droid, GBA.emu and N64oid? Can we use gamepad with it?

Thanks

Dear Nicety, Please suggest which airmouse is better for Q5 player - RC11 or RC12 ?

RC11 - http://www.ebay.in/itm/RC11-ANDROID-MEASY-...=item46117e8e39

RC12 link - http://www.ebay.in/itm/RC12-ANDROID-MEASY-...=item461341b6c4

Awaiting for your reply

Please use the Dolphins browser to open because it required flash plugin.

For the xBMC, I hv preinstalled all the common addon for you already, it is not necessary to install now. You may goto System->addon -> install from Zip -> fusion to explorer more addon.

forget fusion - go for xunity instead
all the guys have moved there and created a new community

My personal opinion is RC11, we have special bundle price offer for customer bought Q series player.

Hi Nicety! I'm interested in buying this Q5ii not only that it is guaranteed a good product but also because of your great support! Good job!

I'm from the Philippines and currently staying in Melaka. Could you PM me your best price?

Thanks!

Bro, would be appreciated if you could post the URL for xunity repository such that all could share here.

Thank you for inquiry bro. Just Pmed to you.

Ok do this:

Similar to how you add for fusion.

System>File Manager> Add source

http://xfinity.xunitytalk.com

Then

System> Add ons> Install from zip file

Choose whatever name you called that xfinity just now

Then go to video and run the wizard

Thank you very much bro, sharing of info is always welcome and appreciated :-)

Hi,i manage to root my Q5 II with this method but if only you can read chinese,and i only did it on firmware 102...

Hi,did you mean after q5 completely boot up,you just click himedia smb interface to your smb share once,and himedia will create your smb share on local path as a folder,then you just link this path within your xbmc?is it this way you did?
