i hv tried this freeflix for a few days now.

it is an alternative to terrarium.

and it has an m3u section:

.. the app updates the m3u lists every 1-2 days.
.. it has an import m3u option where u can use yr own m3u list.

while m3u is "sexy" and does give some great live streams incl hd, they dun live long - need new ones frequently.

try it, u may like it.

https://freeflixhq.com/

tested this new app, live nettv.

https://www.livenettvapk.net/

it has hundreds of live tv channels but are mostly SD.

most of the SD ones work fine, HD ones don't work so well.

the SD live sports channels work ok, quality no worse than astrogo.

news, movies... pretty reliable.

for this app, select native android player, no need to download/install other player.

enjoy while it lasts!

i just tested my improved network on q10pro...

.. 100mbps
.. 5ghz wifi
.. 50 ft

can stream from pc to q10pro-avr-tv via samba (media center, LAN) smoothly.

even a 90gb 2.5hr 4k ddtruehd BDMV.

and with full BD menu!


couldn't do that with 50mbps and/or 2.4ghz.

just to add...

this 100mbps is fabulous, Q10pro works really well with this speed!

.. samba streaming the largest files.
.. youtube 4k version - all 4k 60fps plays smoothly.
.. kodi quasar becomes a breeze.
.. live tv apps in general stream better.

any q10pro user hesitating to upgrade to 100mbps, don't!

youtube...

this version 2.02.08 works very well with q10pro - 4k, uhd, hdr, 60fps... all will play nicely... if u hv the speed and 4k tv.

it is an androidtv version with voice search funtion.

can't disable it but u can deny audio recording to get to the keyboard to search.

use the arm version.

just like to share this exp...

if yr 3.5" portable hdd fails, pry it open and take out the drive.

chances are the sata bridge card failed, can save it in 2 ways:

.. plug it into q10pro, it will work if it is only the bridge card that failed.

.. buy a docking station.. i bought below today at rm125... good for 3.5" and 2.5".
save the drive!!


i was told by the sales guy that this will only work for older portable hdds with the sata bridge card as an individual component.
new portable hdds, the circuit is integrated - a design to fail n make u buy new!!
better buy 3.5" sata drives with docking station to get more reliability!

boy, u did not see the link given?!

just to acknowledge nicety's latest apk additions to his onedrive.

i thought i lost MOLI...

but the new one in onedrive is fine, working good again, thanks!

u read "youutbe", right?!!

firmware 2.0.8... i hv no idea.

yes.

stay with it if u hv no problems.

but i reverted to 2.0.6.

207 had a problem with some of the subtitles of my older videos.

i await 208 - a fix for this subs issue as well as a problem with the virtual keyboard - hangs sometimes.

just like to add...

the HDD slot is very useful for those who use utorrent and/or kodi quasar.

it's a pity himedia cannot do astrogo as astrogo now has improved a lot in picture quality - many channels are now in HD.

himedia q10pro futeko forum is helpful too:
http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?board=14.0


nicety, have u had the chance to compare picture quality between q10pro and u9h?

with same video, same TV?

i read many comments but without clarity - some say q10pro with imprex2 is slightly better; others say u9h with kodi player about the same..?

Q10pro... a tip for those using kodi quasar with path set to internal HDD...

kodi quasar on q10pro can only deliver DD and DD+ audio, can't do dts and higher.

if quasar is your thing, try utorrent app from playstore.

u can select link magnet and play direct with this app; like quasar, no need to wait for completion.

the good news is with native player or MXpro player, u can get dts, dtshdma, ddtruehd audio as well.

and get online subs too.

of course, above is assuming u have good speed and yr hdd has sufficient storage.

100mbps, can do 10-20gb files, nice!

astrogo and unifi playtv (hypptv e'where) do not work on q10pro; iflix does.

kodi works fine but kodi... been using for >6 years, about to junk it.

becos of legal issues, no more great addons, only simple stuff... there are much better apps for what kodi addons currently offer.


for local playback, q10pro is superb - will play almost all files, all types, no worries for this.

if u r into full bluray's, u get full BD menus too.

with great video and audio output quality.

himedia native player is excellent.

Plays all formats... Video n audio, subs, 4k, bluray, bdmv, iso.....

10gb, 40gb, 70gb....

talking about that, i wud think anyone who has used an old media player before will find q10pro very likeable.

my past experience with several years of ac ryan pohd is no different.

for local playback, video and audio performance, i give it an A+.


it also does online streams very well.

i've been playing with a couple of apps all night...

100mbps + utorrent pro + mx pro + brave (or any incognito) browser is lethal!

will not need kodi, terrarium and the likes anymore!

samba is great.

if u hv the right router and speed, yr dts/dd mkv files are a piece of cake for q10pro via samba wifi!

u can even do large 4k bdmv hd audio files.

u shud use hdmi for best audio results but if old avr... yes, use coaxial or optical, both will work fine.

try new dns 1.1.1.1

good stuff!

if u still dun understand...

what u r looking for... one time payment or free aztro streams - these r illegal, illegitimate.

nobody talks about them in public... becos they are ILLEGAL!!

u can pm the illegal/ahem app sellers.


then, there are some apps that offer alternatives, similar.

these are free but may not last long - that's why they r free.

and there is plenty of it.


most people do not buy boxes just for illegal stuff.

people buy boxes mainly for:

.. own local playback, fabulous video+audio quality.
.. free apps... all kinds, various quality, stability, longevity.

great news, guys... finally!

new firmware 2.0.8 now has improved apps compatibility.

astrogo and unifi playtv now works with q10pro.


nicety will surely be posting the details later.

been using this 2.0.8 firmware for 2 weeks now.

it's good, best one to date.

...

nicety, any idea if there is a new model in the pipeline?

q10pro now is able to do some of the most impt and best things:

.. full bluray menu
.. kodi dd/dd+ audio passthru
.. compatibility with astrogo/playtv

the only things on the "wishlist" would be netflix 4k/hd and dolby vision which are unlikely due to licensing issues.


actually wondering what other new features and improvement may come with next gen android (8) boxes...?
