i am not sure but i remembered IFLIX does not work on Q16.

IFLIX works on Q10pro.

get it from playstore.

IFLIX now has a very limited selection in HD - they are labeled "HD".

they come out fine on Q10pro, 720 quality, possibly due to the Imprex engine.

Try it!

use the one from playstore.

it should be 2.18.0-2982.

something i just read about HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

4k material not a lot, hdr10 material even less, Dolby Vision... some with Netflix, with a logo:

Dolby Vision is the "highest" - will need source, player and TV capable for that.




i hv tested many video types with q10pro - excellent results.

for audio, atmos is quite common but dtsx is not.

hevc and 10 bit quite common but HDR10 and dolby vision is not easily available yet.

still, q10pro can deliver excellent results if u play good files with 4k tv and 4k pass thru AVR.

get the better files which are typically big - for 55 min tv show - 3gb 720p, 6gb 1080p and 13gb 4k.

2 hr movie will be like 66gb.

q10po can handle all of them nicely, excellent colors and vibrancy on yr tv, dtshdma/ddtru hd audio.

and i am certain the result with q10pro is better than its predecessor, q16.

to get more out of the q10pro, u definitely need a new tv!

tvs... there is 4k, there is 4k hdr, there is 4k hdr dolby vision.
u gotta decide which one suit u best, prices can be very diff.
i will also suggest u get one with google androidtv - sony, sharp, philips only.
with that, u have a lighter android, good for simple apps and 4k video for youtube and netflix.
boxes can't do that becos of certification.
can read/ask here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4164164/+120

soundbars are not the best for great audio. full 5.1/7.1 home theater will be much better.
check soundbars thoroughly... in that some cheap ones do not hv the capability to deliver good audio.
can't help u much as i never use them. can read/ask:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3019947/+660

it is surely better to be ahead rather than behind!


i am not sure and has not done enough tests but i find q10pro kodi17 can stream kodi online hevc while q16 on kodi 16.1 cannot.

q16 can do local playback hevc; just cannot stream hevc online.

another device of mine, android 5.1 kodi 17, also cannot do hevc properly.

do u know if this has to do with the chipset, android version or kodi version?

q10pro users:

futeko reported:


meanwhile, i am pleased to find that with my upgraded unifi 50mbps, i can now stream up to 20gb (typically 1080p dtshdma) files on kodi/quasar with path set to the internal HDD.

this is very convenient!

but it is not good enough since audio is only 2.0.

waiting for new firmware to fix the audio part to have hd audio passthrough or a new wrapper.

meanwhile, to get dtshdma from a file like that, need to wait for stream to complete, saved, then playback with himedia native player.

q10pro playback... i have yet to come across ONE file that it will not play properly!

the imprex 2.0 engine is excellent, no doubt.

and if u think the PQ and AQ is great on yr current set up, wait till u upgrade to 4k tv, 4k AVR!

Wrapper... I m curious...

Wrapper is not required if using native himedia player which i think is easier and faster.

I guess as a minix user, u r used to playback with kodi, so u need the wrapper, correct?

I tried the wrapper in kodi, works fine for local playback incl hd audio... but need to set the both q10pro and avr video and audio settings correctly.

If using old equipment, can be tricky...


About the wrapper, with current firmware 2.0.1, it works on kodi for local playback but it does not work with kodi17.1 online streams.

Without the wrapper, it can't do dts or dd, so kodi will give just 2.0 audio.

Waiting for new firmware to fix this... soon, i read.

.. using native player or kodi player?
.. did u play with subtitle advance/delay option?
.. what audio system - tv, avr, soundbar?

The wrapper is a new feature, made for people like you who cannot live without the artwork.

Me, i dont use it, dont want it, as i like my own listings, like it fast and easy!

The wrapper is not complete, i think.

The last time i tried with kodi,, it works fine doing local playback but crashes when used for online streams.

When that is fixed for kodi17, it will be nice as there will be himedia video and audio controls over a kodi stream... looking forward to that.

That feature is already working on popcorn time. In popcorn, if u set player to himedia player, u get all the native player features like subtitles download, advanced options like imprex engine picture quality adjustments.

i hv played 6gb to 66 gb files and not experienced anything u mentioned!

maybe that file of yours bad, corrupted..? or all files like that?

what is interesting is this u said:

Audio keep looping when changing the audio from 7.1 to 5.1. (.MKV)

what file is this? how big? mkv or mt2s? hevc? 10 bit?

maybe the soundbar is causing trouble..?

using soundbar...
..how is it connected.. hdmi or optical or coaxial?
..how does 5.1 and 7.1 sound like.. i thought it's just 2.1?!

disconnect the soundbar, just q10pro->hdmi->tv, i.e. tv audio... play same file , see what happens.


nicety... maybe u hv some comment...

ah yes... the tv can be an issue.

some smart tv's occasionally can't cope with certain input, will stutter, need reset... i hv seen that.

unless the file u have is a short one, i doubt with such heavy specs it is as small as 30gb.
it should be >50gb, more likely 60-66gb.
hence, i suspect the ripping of that file is not well done.
u can try the same title but a diff rip, similar or bigger size and see if it is the same.
you can also get a diff similar specs file and try it, see if same problem occurs.

the audio part... i suspect the problem is coming from yr tv ARC.
for yr set up, it is better to have optical or coaxial audio output from q10pro direct to soundbar.
if u do tv optical back to soundbar, u are using the ARC function of the tv.
some devices do not work well with some tv ARC's and are known to cause problems.
also, tv ARC capability is typically not of high standard, may not cope with HD audio well - TV makers focus on video, not audio.

if u disconnect the soundbar, u isolate it.
then u can see if q10pro->tv hdmi video and audio eliminates a possible problem caused by soundbar and/or the tv ARC.

similarly, if u do q10pro audio->soundbar, audio is now independent of the TV.
so, if the audio loop problem persist, u know it has nothing to do with the tv or tv ARC.
if that solves the problem, u know yr tv ARC isn't good enough to handle HD audio.

bit by bit, u can narrow down the root cause(s)!

please report back if i was right about the audio bit!

u mean yr nas app + himedia player was the culprit?

but nas app + nas native player ok?

ah well... that explains it... 3rd party app, nas... many more variables.

if he had said it earlier, i wud hv had some idea...



it's like some users complained about certain things with previous models... only later i realized they are using kodi to playback, not native player.

on that issue, i have played various files with kodi, mx, tv player, bluray player, q5ii, q16... none of them come close to the video quality offered by q10pro native player on a 4k tv.

just for that, i am happy enough.

u gotta write clearer...

u do not have phoenix?

or u dun see phoenix?

kodi 17...

"movies" is not the right place to find phoenix (assuming installed) - that is for local playback, rss, etc.

it is under "addons".

take time to visit and read what kodi is.

it is a complex app.

sorry, need to ask...

did u buy the box from nicety or somewhere else?
