Is it recommended to update? using your Q5pro at the moment.

Depend on the addon you use, if your addon still works well then no necessary to upgrade.

hi,
I am interested in the Q10 pro but have a few question. Will it come preloaded with the necessary kodi plugin to watch drama (english/china/hongkong) ? As in I can just plug and play after received? Possible to watch those China drama that are geolocked ?

Hi,

Just rcv my Q10 pro last weekend with Mele deluxe air mouse.
A few quick questions
1) Mele deluxe can use to power off but power on not working. Using bundled Q10 pro can power off and power on ok.
2) When playing 4k HDR mkv using himedia media player aspect ratio is wrong as always shown as full screen only
3) When using himedia media player sometimes (24 hz content and TV auto switch to 24hz mode) when using return key to exit the movie, Q10 lost video signal to TV, need to press one more time return key then sync back to tv at 4K@60hz GUI.
4) Using KODI 17, exit the app takes a very long time and sometimes stuck at exit screen. Need to off and on the unit.
Else it is giving excellent PQ.
Kindly advise.
Thanks

[COLOR=purple]It works when only you press the "STB" or the "mybox" first then press the orange color Power button

2) When playing 4k HDR mkv using himedia media player aspect ratio is wrong as always shown as full screen only
[COLOR=purple]Known bugs since few months back. Latest firmware not fixing it. :

3) When using himedia media player sometimes (24 hz content and TV auto switch to 24hz mode) when using return key to exit the movie, Q10 lost video signal to TV, need to press one more time return key then sync back to tv at 4K@60hz GUI.
[COLOR=purple]Not experience it on my tv. May be due to the firmware version. I am using Android 5.1 1.1.0 firmware

4) Using KODI 17, exit the app takes a very long time and sometimes stuck at exit screen. Need to off and on the unit.

[COLOR=purple]Using Android 5.1 1.1.0 firmware. Still using the Kodi 16 version.


Kindly advise.

2. how big is this 4k HDR mkv file? there are some bs ones, a few gb's only, bad stuff.
3. are u using AVR, i.e. Q10pro->AVR->TV? if yes, what sequence u use to switch on and off?

Kodi - this thing has been there forever, not due to box but due to some crap in yr kodi build which happens over time as u add more stuff, play various links. to get rid of this, u need to keep kodi clean, i.e. use indigo addon/maintenance to regularly remove cache, obsolete addons and other dirt.

- from 10Gb to 50GB plus
- I confirm not file problem cos when I use USB playback on Samsung HDR TV correct aspect ratio
You can actually see HDR UDH lit up on TV when HDR is detected and play

3. are u using AVR, i.e. Q10pro->AVR->TV? if yes, what sequence u use to switch on and off?

- Q10 pro direct to TV and coaxial to SPDIF as AVR does not support 4K HDR passthrough
- actually I referring watching 24hz mkv and Himedia and exit mid day by pressing remote return and HDMI lost signal detected by TV. If I press return 2nd time on remote Himedia syncs back to TV at 4k60hz.. I suspect autoswitch freq bug in himedia.

- the new 17.1 is really slow on exit. Kodi 16.x with many addons much faster to exit.
- new 17.1 native player also slows in playing big mkv files (20+ GB) from NAS. no issue when using Himedia media player using the same file to the same NAS.


BTW HDR like planet earth 2 fullscreen looks awesome on Samsung SUHD...

it's true kodi17.1 is heavier than 16.1
but acceptable to me, much the same with the same build on my other android5.1 device.

local playback incl nas with kodi... i still find it weird why people wanna do that when there is a superior native player!

planet earth2... yeah... i am about to test this 4k hd audio hevc file if it will work with SMB windows at 2.4ghz - my router is getting old! laugh.gif

Sorry for my late response, was busy today.

The Kodi has been preinstalled with addons to watch English, china, Korean and HK dramas. Just plug, connect to internet and play.

Geoblock is depend on the app not the box. We have preinstalled multiple apps, when one app is blocked just switch to another. China movies or drama had no worry at all because there are too many apps to watch Chinese drama. Even YouTube has lots of Chinese dramas and variety shows.

Thank you very @AVFAN and @cyrobytes for sharing your sharing.

1). Android box only could be power on by IR not RF. use the method mentioned by cyrobytes or teach the air mouse to learn RF signal as mentioned in the getting started guide email.

2) & 3). Android 7 firmware still new, no deny there are improvements or bugs fixes in the future.

4). As mentioned by AVFAN, this is due to the addons you installed. Be patient and let the Kodi shutdown properly.

missed these comments for yours.

i have such files too, but have not had any aspect ratio issues so far.

as for the frame switching, it does not happen to me if i stay with native playback.

but it will switch if say i go from playback to kodi or some other app, which is to be expected.

i am using q10pro->4k avr->4k tv.

u probably want to try android7 firmware 2.0.1.

Thanks..nicety shipped the unit with 2.01..I have not installed any apps..apparently the HDR aspect ratio is a firmware bug...(see http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1682.0 )...new firmware coming in May to fix this and Kodi 17.x audio passthrough

kodi audio pass through not fixed with 2.0.3, i believe.

if another new firmware coming in may, i will wait...

Is your Asus support Samba? If yes then just activate samba service in Q10 and connect assist to Q10'via samba.
