Hey, there's so many things to read through. I just want to ask, is it necessary to use an app to stream movies/shows? Can I just use a browser (hopefully Firefox or Chrome) to stream from my favorite websites?
Using browser will be very much depend on the web site providers. If the web site using Windows Active-X plug-in then you could not watch from Android. Additionally if the web site is using flash then you need flash enable browser such as Dolphin browser or Boat Browser. Actually you can verify this by using your Android phone.
Maybe you can share with me you favorite web site, I could help you to verify. Just pm me your favorite web site.
I just mentioned "favorite website" as an example. So, it's more complicated than just installing Firefox and Flash player? Hmm...
But what you are saying is, if I use Dolphin browser or Boat browser, I can verify these websites myself using an Android phone?
Sorry if my questions seem rudimentary, I don't have an Android phone, my sister does.
Thanks.

Basically, the complication is the web site are not truly standardized, therefore I could no promised you that all web site could run on Android browser.
Firefox, chrome, native Android browser are not flash enable. There is reason major browser stop support flash player. If you goto Adobe web site, Adobe has stopped delivering flash for Android platform since version 11. This is because HTML 5 video streaming or app embedded flash will be the future. http://m.androidcentral.com/adobe-stop-new...le-flash-player
However, you still can use flash in Q5II via dolphin or boat browser.
Woah, confused.
So basically, not all websites can be streamed using your device? What content is available? Please PM me your best price. What model do you recommend? Just want to stream HD TV/movies and play files from my HDD/flash drive.
Bro, this is nothing to do with the Q5 firmware. This is xBMC native player too resource intensive, just change to external player in xBMC will do or wait for xBMC next release to fix it. Further detail refer to the below link http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=153734
Does that mean Himedia Q5II's hardware cannot support this version of XBMC?
Strictly speaking, Netflix service is not available in Malaysia if you refer to Netflix website. That mean all providers or resellers in Malaysia are not legit. The important is to get a reliable and good service providers where he/she could answer you promptly when you encounter issues. Pls do not just look at the price only, some provider may give you best price but no service then you are fully utilize the money you paid. Always ask for test account before subscribe, such that you can access to the service level and also the quality of the streaming.
Hmm.. worried if they just give you a trial and then run away.
You can check their repetition from the thread. This is the advantage of using forum to procure item. If the thread sustain for few years already and continue responsive, unlikely the seller will run away.
So, you got use their Netflix service?'
(I just did some searching, didn't find any thread longer than 1 year)

Bro, cannot compare like that, Astro still has it's service level guaranteed.
Ya, but it's really expensive and just keep repeating the shows. It's 2013, where is the free access to content whenever we want it? Unifi promoter called me that day, saying they're bundling VIP 5 with Hypp Flicks now. I thought got 75 channels, turns out only 75 movies. In the end still video on demand and each movie cost RM7. Compare that with Netflix or the apps that your Himedia can support.
