So far I have no chance to test more than 3TB, however I do not see any problem to support as well as the HDD size not more than NTFS maximum partition size.

However, I don't recommend put all movies in one disk. If the HDD crash then all movies gone. I would advise to consider NAS with minimum 3 HDD and configure RAID 5 to tolerate one disk failure.

nicety,

Is there a way to disable the WiFi on the HIMEDIA Q16? I intend to do a direct wired connection (use the Ethernet port) to the local network switch which is wired to the router.

Is the WiFi needed for any special feature HIMEDIA Q16 that's not available via the Ethernet port?

Thanks.

To turn off your WIFI in Q16 is same as you turn your Android phone WIFI, just goto setting -> click WIFI setting to OFF.

Yes, Proxy setting is in the WIFI setting, you could not add proxy if turn off WIFI.

Just got the package today. Will test it tonight

Thank you bro, pls quick view of the getting started before the test.


Pls feel free to pm me if you have questions.

Dear Customers,

The pre-installed HD Cinema has been taken down, the app won't work anymore. Unfortunately, this is one of the best app with smooth HD streaming.

nicety,

Please advise the size of the partition and how much space on the eMMC is taken up by the Android operating system (4.4 Kit kat)?

Would also like to know remaining space available for apps.

How much "working space" does an app need on the eMMC before one has to start deleting existing apps to increase the "working space".

The reason I ask this is the Q5 has half the eMMC of the Q16 and would like to know if this is sufficient.

Thanks.

Below is partition ratio for Q5and Q16 :

Model : OS / Apps / balance

Q5. 2GB / 2GB / 4GB
Q16. 2GB / 4GB / 10GB

Different apps has it own requirement for working space, Kodi could set the buffering space, torrent base streaming app require the entire movies space as working, Q5 limited to 4GB and movies if watch Popcorn Time.

Hi nicety,

Can you confirm that the HiMedia wrapper has been installed for Kodi? Would like to use Kodi as the user interface and launch the HiMedia player for videos within Kodi. This way the HD audio and 3D ISO playback can happen. My understanding is that Kodi cannot natively do so yet.

Thanks.

Bro, you have received Q16 in Hong Kong already ?

If you refer to my box, the wrapper is not installed because there is side effect to some addons if not using native Kodi player. The Kodi that I installed is still using Kodi native player. To play HD audio or 3D ISO, I will recommend to use Himedia player from Media center in MG launcher.

However, the wrapper is available in my Skydrive(APK folder), just download from my skydrive to install.
