I just got my Q10ii from nicety yesterday. When I use the xbmc player to play local movie file, I find it is lagging. Initially I thought it is due to xbmc using its player to play the file, so what I did is rename the custom playercorefactory.HimediaPlayer that is in the userdata folder to playercorefactory.xml. When I relaunch the xbmc and play the local video file, it is still show lagging. If I play the same video file from Media Center, no lagging at all. Any people encounter this?

Is there any new firmware for Q10ii lately?

Nicety,
I just found out that for movie file transfer between my desktop PC and Himedia Q10ii player using the onboard Gigabit ethernet port, the maximum transfer rate that I can achieved is only around 4MByte/s. Whereas if I connect the Himedia player network cable to my notebook and perform the same file transfer, I can get 7MByte/s.
My current setup is as followed:

Desktop PC ->gigabit port -> gigabit switch-->Aztech Homeplug 500Mbps 115EP -->Aztech Homeplug 500Mbps 115EP-->gigabit port-->Himedia Q10ii player

transfer rate: 4MByte/s (max)

Desktop PC ->gigabit port -> gigabit switch-->Aztech Homeplug 500Mbps 115EP -->Aztech Homeplug 500Mbps 115EP-->gigabit port-->Dell notebook

transfer rate: 7MByte/s (max)

Is there anything that you are aware I can tune on the Himedia player to speed up the transfer rate?

Thanks.

Nicety,
Yes you are correct. I agreed with you on the samba protocol that might be the bottleneck. Initially was thinking of upgrading my homeplug but I supposed the bottleneck is still on the Himedia player.

Nicety, can Q10 pro be configured to save the streamed movie using kodi into the hard disk so that one can play back again locally from the Hard drive?

Yes, I have been using torrent to download movie to hard disk. Just that recently been using streaming to watch movie after upgrade my broadband to 30Mbps. Just Wanted to check whether there is any new advancement in the technology
