ok, thanks for info.

actually, not a big problem... Netflix 4k... to get 4k, one must hv a 4k tv and most 4k tvs come with netflix app... so, that's covered.
DV... not many tv's can handle that anyway.. and material is lacking, not much available.

i was thinking if there can be an "expanded" q5pro... say an octacore chipset... maybe faster?
and 2/16 or even 3/32gb - i am a big fan of larger storage!
16gb is necessary as the apps get bigger; 32gb will be better.
larger storage is very useful for p2p like kodi quasar and utorrentpro.

i was shopping for new phone...

noticed 2/16gb is outdated.... vast majority are 3/32 or 4/64gb.

maybe huawei/hisilicon too busy with kirin chips..!

if you r involved in this app, take note it is not that reliable for live tv.

the m3u lists get outdated very fast, don't work.

and frequent change of app version dun seem to improve things.

and i am referring to latest v3.7.0.1.

having used freeflix, redbox and livenettv for some time now, i will say freeflix is least attractive.

astrogo is now updated to v8.1.98.

not entirely sure, but my eyes tell me the picture quality for HD channels have improved a bit from v8.1.93.

it is good to have astrogo working on q10pro, less troublesome looking for major live sports channels.

thomas cup bangkok 2018 just started, malaysia vs russia later today 21 may.

14 june - world cup russia!

that is true but i wasn't referring to that.

what i meant was, at full speed, hd quality, latest v8.1.98 delivers a slightly better video quality compared to previous versions.

been using 2.0.8 since early april.

it is the best firmware so far.

with this firmware, q10pro is, in my mind, the best box for users like me:

.. full bd menu for 1080p and 4k bdmv playback, excellent video and audio output quality.
.. astrogo and unifi playtv work very well.
.. internal HDD allows kodi quasar to do 10-15gb videos smoothly with 100mbps speed.
.. icdrama rss player app works well.
.. other popular apps like terrarium, livenettv, redbox, cloudtv... youtube, spotify... all work good.

mind u, even some of the more expensive boxes cannot do ALL of the above.

i just wish the next model in the Q series will come with a larger storage.

can u describe what "lag" is this?

this one... yes.

it happens with wireless mouse too.

been like that since the beginning.

think it's just working, taking a couple of seconds.

maybe nicety can comment.

world up russia 2018 starts tmr night 11pm.

astrogo works good on q10pro, so u can watch:

.. all 64 matches free using sport pack subscriber's id/pw.
.. rm100, rm120 for others:
https://www.astro.com.my/mediaroom/articled...annel-pass-for-

.. rm1 per match or rm64 for all 64 matches for maxis users:
https://www.maxis.com.my/en/personal/plans/...ml#match-passes

after first match last night, i find...

.. best is astrogo astro arena... very stable, hd, malay commentary, free for all, no need id/pw, but only 22 of 64 matches available.
.. astrogo 2 dedicated channels start with hd then drop to sd... traffic too heavy, i think. Will be disappointed if paying rm100 or 120.
.. from playstore, rtm mobile app tv2 is ok too but in sd/hd? 540/576 maybe.

.. sony ten2 hd channel is alright... doesnt look hd to me but maybe 576p, ok, smooth.
.. tsn5 is good, hd but.. not smooth, buffers.
.. itv1 (alternate with bbc1) is smooth but in sd.
.. bein1 hd is good but in french.
.. for apps, can try livenettv, redbox, freeflix.

Those channels are the same as found in the rtm mobile app, very easy to use.

rtm1 and 2, can also find in cloudtv, 720p quality.

Really, this wc russia 2018, unlike brazil 2014, is much easier to find stable good quality live streams.

I got several sources on standby!

wc2018...

get live nettv 4.6 or redbox 1.2, use bbc1 and itv1 to watch all of them in hd.

there are many streams that carry wc in apps like those.

in eng, the best ones are sony ten2hd, bbc1 and itv1.

there are others but are not so smooth or in french, german, arabic...


i hv actually gone on to use another way - a manual method, but better in quality and reliability.

find acestream method discussed here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4600175/+160

try this new one, a live sports app, get from playstore.

works quite well but note the link works only when the match starts.

i think it's a reincarnation on an old prog/addon of xbmc/kodi called navi-x.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?....navixsport.app

many options this time.

another one for u if u need!

freeflix 3.0.8
https://freeflixhq.org/freeflix-hq-apk/

that repo or addon is from >1yr ago.

many things for/in kodi hv been long obsolete.

what "android tv box" r u using and what specifically r u searching to watch?

think that one was a troll, can ignore.

timely that u posted this.

i am using himedia q10pro but considering buying a minix u9h - for the sake of learning, comparing and see how i can use both to the max.

can u comment about your experience with u9h on:

1. local playback of 1080p or 2160p BMDV folders (those 40-90gb ones, m2ts files) with native moviesplayer, kodi player, mx, vlc or other player?
i mean in terms of ease of use, video quality, and audio capability?

2. smb (samba, windows file sharing) wifi streaming from one storage (e.g. pc) to u9h - is it smooth or jittery for 10, 50, 90 mbps bit rate?

appreciate any comments, thanks.

Ok.

Mp4, mkv are popular but rather simple rips, easily played by common player apps like mx and vlc.

Bdmv is full bluray hevc in m2ts format with hd audio, atmos or dtsx; u can search torrent sites for them.

There arent many boxes that can play them directly; even less that can do full menu.

Himedia q10pro native can do that with native player... was wondering if minix u9h can do that too, and with what player.
