I acquired a Himedia Q10pro!

Q16 and Q5ii still in good use.

This Q10pro works with 4K AVR and 4K TV.

My first findings with Q10pro, 2/16gb, android 7, firmware 2.0.1.

GENERAL
.. solid box, stays cool unlike q16 which gets quite hot if w/o mini fan.
.. new launcher is simple and functional, good.
.. connectivity, wifi, just the same as q16, q5ii.
.. HDD slot is simple - I put a 7 yr old old unit in there, works good.
.. playback with native media center or file manager as usual, as promised - 2160p 60fps, HD audio, hevc265, 10bit, BDMV - all good. Yet to test DD Atmos, DTSX.
.. "china" apps, "wind-goat7-goat10" apps work fine; AOTG does not work - just like Q16.
.. mele f10 airmouse works fine.
.. one thing i don't like - the usb ports are on the left side of the box and not on the usual right. this is not good for righthanded users.

Himedia Q10pro->Denon 4K AVR 5.1->Sharp UHD4k TV setup
.. video display set to auto does not seem to detect 2160p files after it has played 1080p/50hz or 1080i/60hz (most apps), not sure if this is due to my AVR or TV. i always set to 2160p 60hz for local usb playback, best results.
.. the best video setting with deepest colors for my eyes is YCbCR 4:2:0 10 bit; find it under box settings, advanced options.
.. the most challenging file i tried so far is a 66gb uhd4k hevc265 10bit dtshdma one - excellent results.

KODI 17.0
.. I installed kodi 17.0 krypton official in there, used org.xbmc.kodi from q16, then installed relevant krypton repos. works good. By the way, Kodi 17 is very nice looking!
.. 4k, hevc265, 10 bit streams from Quasar, OK.
.. wrapper app - this can be confusing due to poor choice of words displayed. "set to kodi" means wrapper is not in use, kodi player used. this setting will only give 2.0 and not dd/dts/5.1 audio from some addons which is incorrect - supposedly a Kodi 17 (not with kodi 16.1) issue with some androids. We hope himedia will come up with a fix for this kodi 17 dd/dts/hd audio stream issues.
.. wrapper app - "set to wrapper player" is meant to "wrap" a kodi stream to play via native player and not kodi player but is not working well. with that setting, usb playback via kodi is fine, audio passthrough works incl hd audio (but this should not be the choice for local usb playback as the native player via media center or file manager is far superior). however, this "wrapper player" setting does not work with kodi online streams; when attempting to play, wrapper stops, need to exit kodi and set the wrapper to "set to kodi".
.. if u find video judders, go to player settings, video to disable mediacodec (surface) acceleration.

Perhaps because I already know quite a bit about himedia Q series boxes, I expected nothing less. It will be a shock for me if I encounter funny problems!

One thing I am aware is that the pleasant experience with the box right from the start is not something to be taken for granted.

Q16 users looking for an upgrade, take note - Q10pro can do the following that Q16 cannot:
.. Android 5, 6 or 7
.. HDR, DTSX (according to specs)
.. Kodi 17 (requires android 5 and above)
.. stream kodi 4k, hevc265, 10 bit videos

Q10pro is a “serious” android box. Certainly a great choice for those looking to great playback of UHD4K and HD AUDIO files besides all the usuals.

Hi just received Q10 pro..but when conencted wifi,it always disconnect and connect...any1 can help?

from a discussion with other q10pro users in another thread, i think this will be helpful to other users here:

1. for playing files on yr pc and other boxes via wifi as long as they r on the same network.

the media center/LAN (samba) is easy to use, easier than previous models.

just use the autosearch function, key in yr pc id.pw, u get in.
2. transfer files between box incl HDD inside and PC, get file manager ASUS from playstore.

this app will allow u to delete, copy, move files/folders between box and PC over wifi.

es file explorer is crap now - too many ads, new restrictions.
