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.

isn't HGA more relevant to wifi routers?

what router r u using?

if using router with HGA, that will help; poor routers like the orig unifi one will be a major bottleneck in the first place.

and how far, how many walls, what walls do u hv?

my experience with himedia boxes, asus HGA router, wifi streaming is acceptable up to 50ft, 2 concrete walls, no major metal structures in line of sight.

some people find it useful to use wifi repeaters or homeplugs.

i had no need for those so far.

my house is 3 phase.. the wallplug for my wall and the ones for modem are different phase..so im guessing homeplug are useless

does the q10 pro antenna detachable ? so i can change it to a high gain ones

im using asus RT-ac55uhp ,
tv is located in my room above my cpu, im too using a asus wifi receiver with high gain antenna which placed on my floor. my wifi signal strength is about 70~80% range. if placed on table i'l only getting 50-60% signal strength.

router(down stair at living room which is front of my house ) to my room(upstair most furthest back of the house) probably passing like 3-4 cemented red brick walls

double storey house... if typical size, lower corner diagonal to upper corner is about 50ft, what i have.

not ideal but can still stream if incoming is stable.

brick walls are not a problem; metal structures are.

still, u won't know until u try.

i never had a need but if i had to, i will use another router as a repeater, placed in the middle.

Yes, Q10 Pro antenna has been changed to screw type detachable.

Your house network coverage root cause is the wrong network design. You can use HGA to workaround but yet to solve the root cause. Get the right advise from the network engineer, beside home plug there are many solutions such as cascading multiple APs.

anyone with a 4k tv can try this new youtube version on q10pro.

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/yo...d-apk-download/

this v2.00.17 will give u 2160p or 4k videos on youtube.

it comes with a "stats for nerds" window for u to confirm it!

setback is the search function does not work.

note: if u install this version, it will overwrite the firmware youtube version.

If u dun like it, remove and reinstall original 1.3.11.

Further on the connectivity, you could try homeplug thats 3phase capable aiyoyoyo

Hi, i want to stream online movies and some astro channel.. this himedia Q10 ok or not? how to subsribe for live channel?

No problem for Q10 Pro to stream online. There are 30++ preinstalled free streaming apps in the box.

Unfortunately there is no legitimate iptv service in malaysia, you only have choice to subscribe to those none legitimate service from lelong.com or lowyat seller.

Can intro some good iptv? =)
