Are you using the nightly builds?
Can it even load without forceclose

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.

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.

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?

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...

Actually it's very easy:

1.download from above web site i posted earlier,you got 海美迪Q5-II Root.rar
2.turn on you Q5 and get it's ip address afterwards leave it on
3.Please make sure Q5 and PC are on same local network...
4.extract Q5-II root.rar to your pc desktop,double click on 海美迪Q5-II Root.exe,on my wins 7 it's
just display garbled codes,anyways you just keys in your Q5 ip adress like:192.168.1.xxx then press ENTER,wait until its finish
5.maybe you need to reboot your Q5 afterwards,check for superman-android like logo,it is supersu
6.download root checker from play store if it is proper root.

Please note:
1.If you cannot root it 1st time,you may need to kill adb.exe in task manager or reboot your pc or redownload archive and try again
2.you might need to temporary shut down your pc's firewalls or antivirus,because ADB use port 5555 to communicate with Q5
3.Try to use hard wire,avoid wireless...
4.you should check with nicety this was actually void warrenty if you have purchased from nicety?
5.Lastly i am NOT responsible for any loss or damage to your device ,I am just sharing what i found...

By the way,I root my Q5 II just to mount my NAS NFS share on boot up automatically,so i can use it with xbmc there is
unnecessary to root if you are just normal user...

haha,good for you...

I used script manager and little script search from xda,and it must use busybox to launch script...

Thank you very much bro. Was excited to see your sharing in the last , hope more Q series buyer could share more here especially the streaming information. If anyone found any interesting xBMC addon, apps or web site contain good movies, pls share it here.

Himedia has mentioned that rooted device will void the warranty. Strongly recommend all buyer to root the device if and only if really needed, and capable to unroot any time.

Thank you so much bro. Sincerely appreciated your sharing, keep it up 

In the past, I am use to find technical solution from the oversea forum but I never contribute any solution or share my info in the forum. Therefore I decided to do it differently and share as much as I could in the forum. Surprisingly, my customers also share back the information with me in return. At the end I am benefit from it as well.

I hope I could encourage the sharing concept among the Malaysian, to build the knowledge base. I noticed some oversea Himedia users read this thread as well. Hope more ppl could benefit from this thread in order to maximize the functionality of the box.

Once again, thank you very much for your sharing. Btw, pm me your email, I should have your record in my database.

Bro, you get me wrongly. I used to obtain technical soulution from oversea forum including Oracle, Cisco, IBM EMC, RedHat and etc.

There is no official oversea Himedia forum in English, only China Himedia forum in mandarin.

http://bbs.himedia-tech.cn/forum.php?forumlist=1&mobile=no

Therefore I wish to made this thread informative and share with anyone could not read Chinese.
