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:

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

Always had a soft spot for Sharp so will check them out.

Don't really like sound bars but tired of setting systems and wiring hence the reason for even considering the former....i must agree nothing beats a full HT set up. Thanks again. Will holler if I need help!

Hi Bro Nicety,

Pls pm price and stock status :
- Himedia Q10 Pro + bundle with MINIX NEO A2 Lite Air Mouse

Do you accept COD in KL area?

Thanks.

@AVFAN,@vsmseiko
Thank you very much for your appreciation of Q10 Pro with the best of breed set top box chipset. Hisilicon, division under innovation company Huawei technology has been working closely with Dolby since 2015 to bring the Dolby Vision into Digital Home Communication.

http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/2015...olby-Vision-HDR

Although 4K Dolby Vision content still new, not easy to obtain at the moment but this future proof technology will come very soon and rapidly. It is the same when I bring in Q16 HEVC 4K two years ago, that time the 4K and HEVC content are not ready but today you can see HEVC and 4K content are available widely. With the recent firmware update to Android 7, Himedia made the right decision to provide further future proof product. Buyer has the chance to switch between Android 5 and Android 7 base on their needs.

Thank you bro, just pmed to you.

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?

There is significant revamp of audio video coding in Kodi 17. According to Kodi 17 change log -> 1.9 Android specific, there is improvement of HEVC playback. The improvements come from the Kodi.

Hi Bro,

Checked with you, this Q10 pro is an android box, can it access to official google playstore international to get apps? Is this an international version Q10 pro?

This is international version with google play store, same as Futeko.

Nicety/all Mele air mouse users

Do we need to calibrate the air mouse? Quite difficult to move the cursor to the point to where we want? Very different from my LG air remote as it goes all over the place regardless of slow or normal hand movement.

The centre wheel with arrow if depress stays in and does not pop out - Is this normal?

Arrow also points at 10 o'clock- what's this buttons function?

Thanks

Sorry bro, hope you don't mind I answer you in the Mele Air mouse thread since this is not Q10 Pro question.

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.

i finally pull the trigger to get this Q10 pro from nicety. i must say this is a HUGE upgrade from my Minix X8H especially on media playback. this box is just fantastic after go through so many hustle with nicety on setting up to play my media files from NAS. the PQ and Audio from this box is very very very good. i am one of the happy user here. i think i need to upgrade my TV and AVR to fully utilise the potential of the box

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!

initially having problems with playing media files. me and nicety still rectifying and try to confirm whats the issues. suspecting it have to do with wrapper.

not going to upgrade to 4k tv and avr so soon. wife will kill me

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.

Hi, anyone experience the following issue
- picture vibration issue after watch movie for 3hours + (I need to pause the video and back to home page for awhile.)
- Audio keep looping when changing the audio from 7.1 to 5.1. (.MKV)
- Sound don't sync (I believe is the source issue) but work fine using MX Player.

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

yes agreed with u play directly in himedia player is faster and easier. losing out the nice display of the movie poster

yes im ex minix user (which i still use it - move to bedroom), and playback with kodi need the wrapper. but the wrapper indeed is giving many problems. the issues that i face is
1. i play with kodi using wrapper - himedia player. it will run fine. but after using wrapper in kodi, when u wanna watch with the native player directly no more sound. need to on off the player. then everything back to normal.
2. when using wrapper, and play media from pendrive, u cant quit. it will keep running and running and running and running. unless u press to home. and quit the whole apps.
3. im watching through my NAS server which also took me quite some time to setup with the help of nicety. he is so patience and help and guide me one by one. haha
4. im figuring out how to connect to LAN to my pc shared folder now. have the same issues when i want to connect to my NAS previously.

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.
