Thank you bro, just pmed to you.

I would advise to switch to Himedia Native Media Player which will always prompt for resume, there are two way to do this :

1). The most easier way is open the movies file from Himedia File Manager, it will auto open Himedia Video Player to play.

2). Reset the default player in ES Explorer, follow the below :
a). Start your Explorer
b). Click the movies and hold it until the sub menu appear, click "More"
c). Select Open As
d). ES Explorer will prompt the list of player again
e). Tick the select as default
f). Select Himedia Video Player (the second one)

Since all the players having has the symptom, could it be the media file ? Please test different media file on different harddisk/pendrive.

I got you now, you play from shared folder not local file. I'm so sorry did not get your question correctly. Will come back to you if found the solution.

Btw, your network shared folder is via NAS, samba, nfs or windows file sharing?

Will come back to you once I found the solution.

Sorry bro, I do not manage to find the solution to resume from Windows file sharing so far. Will continue search for it.

Btw, are u using wifi or LAN port for the network?

Just tested using the File Manager(native Himedia file explorer), the movies can be resumed without problem.

Pls test with file manager( not ES ) and let me know. If still the same, you may double check your network.

Just click the Globe icon at the top right corner, it will prompt you to enter IP address of your PC, login account and password. Then you can access to your windows share folder.

If you are using new HDD, first plug into your PC to initialize the disk and format it as NTFS. If the HDD is in good condition, it should be auto detect by the Q10, no setting required.

No worry bro, let us isolate the issue together, pls let me know your test result of File Manager. I will test my MKV file as well.

Managed to simulate your issue as per your detail description, ES Explorer unable to resume the MKV file but not problem with AVI, MP4 and RMVB.

And I would like to confirm that Himedia File Manager could resume MKV movies without problem.

When I try the Himedia File Manager, it prompt me for login account and password. Actually password protection is control at the shared folder level where you can specific public share or private share in your PC, public share do not need password. The File Manager or ES Explorer do not control whether the shared folder is password protected, when access to public folder it skip the password prompt and when access to password protected folder it prompt for login and password.

Thank you bro. Let me summary our finding here and share with anyone that might encounter the same issue.

Problem Statement : MKV file unable to resume when stream from PC shared folder via ES File Explorer, MP4, AVI files are not affected

Solution : Use the native HiMedia File Manager to stream MKV from PC Shared folder as below steps :

1). Start Himedia native File Manager, click the globe icon at the top right corner to access to the network.


2). Click "AllNetwork" to scan the network, if you have windows shared folder or NAS, you should see the PC name with the share folder.

3). If the file manager unable to find the share folder PC, pls goto PC Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network & Sharing Center -> Advanced Sharing Settings.

4). "Network discovery" should turn on such that shared folder could be discovered By File Manager and the file & print sharing must turn on as below.


5). Click Media Streaming -> Choose Media Streaming Options, ensure Himedia Device is "Allowed".


6). IMPORTANT POINT : Goto Password Protected Sharing option, "Turn on password protected sharing" if you would like the shared folder password protected. Meaning that if you turn on this, File Manager will prompt for password when you access to the shared folder. If you turn off this, File Manager will access to the shared folder directly without password protected.


7). As mentioned in point 6, the below screen prompt for account and password when "Turn on password protected sharing" is enabled.


8). IMPORTANT POINT : if the screen prompt for "Whether to add the directory as shortcut", pls click "No" if you would like the folder is always password protected. The reason being is the shortcut will save the account and password which overwrite the password protected setting in Windows and File Manager will not prompt for password again.


9). Once you access to the shared folder, just click the MKV file to play the movie.

10). The File Manager always use the Himedia native video player the video and resume the video regardless it is local file or network shared folder.
