Hi, guys, is it possible to use hisilicon video player as external in xbmc ? Which version of xbmc is better for q5ii ?

If someone has 1.0.3 firmware is possible to update from "settings-online update" directly....

For people like me, who don't like using external players in xbmc, I believe that the best working version is Gotham arm monthly alpha 8. Don't change default skin and don't overload with tons of plugins.

Xbmc for q5ii emmc only model...

xbmc 12.3 is not working well for me too demanding for the weak cpu, so far the best versions without external player is Gotham monthly 8,after that one none works and justxbmc for ouya but without audio pass through the later. I play files from nfs nas and hisilicon as external player does not work from lan. I don't believe that himedia can deliver a good xbmc version for non emmc model. By the way 1.0.5 has a different interface a lot stream channels from China,useless for a Greek like me AND no Google playstore and browser. Playstore crashes if you install manually... useless firmware revision.

I have installed a version of 1.0.5 from a link i found in chinnese himedia Facebook Web Page, in my q5ii nand .There two versions with different interface mango or 1.0.2 firmware style. I have installed the second and it has YouTube working and also Google play. The size is 355mb,not 268 mb as in the first 1.0.5 posted in himedia forum 2 weeks ago . If someone has emmc a beta 1.0.6 has improved 3d playback for comfortable viewing, that if it is true it will be nice because I find 3d playback from q5ii a lot worse than 3d from pc.

Xbmc Gotham beta1 has been released for Android, has anyone test it regarding local file playback in q5ii nand ? Previous versions crash.

I have a strange problem with my q5ii nand, the date is set to 2/1/1970 and don't update, if I do a factory reset or flash a new firmware the first time it boots the time and date updates correcty but if I restart then is again 2/1/1970 and that's it .Does anyone knows if there is an internal battery in q5ii? If there was an option for manually setting date and time maybe I could solve it but strangely there isn't. It's a serious problem because google can't sync so gmail, playstore are off.The internet connection is working both lan and Wi-Fi.
