firmware 2.04... my comments:

.. HDR aspect ratio problem fixed; plays correctly now.

.. wrapper:
- set on, very smooth now for local payback with kodi 17.3; dtshdma, ddtruehd works good.
- playing kodi online streams (just 2.0, audio pass thru not fixed) not affected by wrapper on or off.

.. native player:
- some subs skippping problem solved.
- subs time adjustment mirco stuttering fixed.
- expanded menu, more user control for imprex 2.0 engine settings.
- improved menu and user friendliness for subtitles, 2d/3d, auto frame switching settings.
- when used in say, terrarium or showbox, u can get better video quality output, diff language subs.
- info bar now shows more info, incl data stream rate.

to fix (nicety knows):
- local playback, using airmouse or wireless mouse, the ability to bring up the info bar by left click (to check length of video, FF, RWD by clicking on bar) no longer works. need to use remote OK to bring it up, can only FF or RWD using the arrow buttons.
- this applies to some apps too.
- previously any app or local playback, u can do that.

Thank you so much AVFAN for testing the firmware together with me.

P/S : To use wrapper in Kodi, please switch your Kodi skin to default skin -> Etuary.

no problem!

kodi, icdrama users, take note...

at this time, u need icdrama 1.3.0 and urlresolver 3.0.35 keep it working.

older versions may not work.

successor developer for icdrama kindly posted this in LYN kodi thread:

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3943906/+3740#bottom

another suggestion i have is, if u find china sites laggy, esp when using Unifi, try this:

go to playstore, find and install a free VPN e.g. Turbo VPN, activate it.

it may help improve the connection.

Hi,boss. I need media player for 4k tv, optical output 5.1 amp, watch movie from ext hdd source. about tv box, watch live channel from apk is smooth? Using how long to change channel?
Need your advice, thank you very much.

Strongly recommend Q10 Pro since you stream from HDD and it support wide range of audio and video codec.

Live channels smoothness depend on your internet speed and live channels apps. Some app switch is almost immediate, some apps need couple of seconds.

q10 pro will do nicely for you; it is an excellent player for local media playback, various video settings with imprex 2.0 engine, auto frame switching.

it has hdmi for tv... 4ktv... u will love the picture quality if you play big good files.

and u also get tv audio with hdmi.

it has coaxial and toslink for digital (dd/dts) output, can use either for yr old amp/avr.

if the file has dtshdma/ddtruehd/ddatmos/dtsx, the player will find the right audio or downgrade to core dd/dts for yr amp/avr.

How about Q5, same function as i need? Have you provide all live foc channel ,eg:- TVB channel, CCTV, fox, etc......?

Please find below differences of Q10 Pro compare to Q5Pro :
8GB EMMC Flash and 16GB EMMC Flash
LED Panel and Smart Touch-Key
Aluminum Housing and Low-noise Fan ( for HDD Cooling )
Initiative Clamshell Internal 3.5'HDD Docking Design

Tvb and English drama are available in the free streaming apps, live channels are mainly china channels. Free Sports, documentary and news channels are not reliable, you have to put the effort to search.

on top of what nicety has explained...

.. it will take u time to learn, understand and get the max out of an android box which is not at all same as astro or hypptv boxes.
.. android boxes come in all shapes n sizes, some are cheap but poor in performance; some are pricier but capable of many things.
.. q10pro is among the best u can find now; q5pro is a small brother version - basically less storage memory, and w/o an internal HDD slot.
.. there are free apps, there are paid apps; there are reliable apps, there are unreliable apps.
.. if u know enough and find hard enough, there are some fairly reliable free apps/channels but will not be 100%.
.. the key to free apps is to have constant new app updates, and several in use so that there is enough to watch at any time.
.. nicety has a place for u to get them, so that is a great plus!

u started by saying u want to playback with HDD. for that, q5/q10pro will serve u well as the video n audio quality delivered is excellent, assuming u play good files.

i use q10pro a lot for playback of bluray, 4k, hd audio files with home theater, very good.

note: i m user, nicety is seller. i have been user of himedia boxes for 5 years now.

Thanks for your advised and explained .

hi, is the q10 using high gain antenna ? cause my room quite far from modem with alot walls..

Sorry bro, the antenna is better then Q5 Pro but not HGA. I would suggest you consider Home plug wifi extender or Ethernet extender instead of buy expensive HGA.
