Android Media Player Buyer Guide

Choose the right specifications
1). To choose a good player, please look for audio/video decoding capability but not the hardware specification only. Example of video codec included H.265, H.264, MPEG4, example of audio codec included DTS, DTS_HDMA, TrueHD and etc.

2). Next important factor is the media container support format i.e. BDMV, M2TS, ISO, BD-ISO. If you bought a player could not read BDMV or BD ISO, then you could not play Blu-ray files directly from your box but have to convert Blue-ray to MKV file.

3). Android player is different from traditional consumer electronic device where the functionality is static. Android Player is software driven, the functionality is dynamic and upgradable. By upgrading the apps or firmware, you enhance the functionality of the player. Therefore post sales support from the seller is very important to optimize your player functionality from time to time.

Choose the right brand
1). Android player in the market price different from RM200 to RM600, failure to buy the right player is totally waste money.
2). Please select the brand that has in-house Android engineer to continuously develop the firmware to fix software bugs and capable to develop streaming apps as value added service.
3). Check the historical firmware version to verify the continuous bug fixes and improvement.



P/S: Android player is different from traditional DVD or Blueray player or Media Player where the functionality is static. Android Player is software driven, the functionality is dynamic by upgrading the apps or firmware or install new app to enhance the functions. Therefore post sales support is very important in order to get the continuous support.

DTS required license, you cannot use regular xBMC 12.3 but use customized 12.2 from Himedia or using native Himedia player. This has nothing to do with the model but the xBMC app.
P/S: if you notice Himedia box is slightly expensive than other brand similar box because Himedia bundled with licensed DTS.

Pls sent me the email nicety@hotmail.my for the popular addon you mentioned above, preferable with steps by steps and screenshot, I could forward to Himedia engineer to look into it.

i see... so himedia's xbmc 12.2 was licensed for dd/dts but not any other version...

it will do a lot of good, incl commanding price incr if it can catch up with xbmc 12.3 or coming gotham 13.0 for 1080 dd5.1 and dts 5.1.

i find that is the only thing missing in my q5ii's. the rest all good enough.

pm'ed u on the addons i meant.

The customized 12.2 already modified by Himedia to embedded with audio and video decoding included DTS. Himedia yet to customize 12.3 and 13.0 since buyer still can play DTS with native Himedia player.

Q16 UI is different from Q5II. You can download any launcher from GooglePlay to replace the home screen. Pls PM me if you need help.

Many people made the same mistake, Android OS already build in standard VPN capability PPTP and L2TP. Just get the servers detail from the VPN providers and enter as per below link :

http://www.securitykiss.com/resources/tuto...s/l2tp_android/

No need to install any 3rd party apps such as Hola.

If you insist to use the 3rd party apps for VPN then you need to root the device in order to build the VPN tunneling. However this method is too technical for typical users.

b). Press the key you want to learn, such as the "Power" button, LED lights blinking the RC is on the study and receiving status
c). Put transmitter head of two remote control in a straight line (a distance of 2-5 cm), press "Power" button of the TV remote control, the LED of HiMedia remote control will blink rapidly 3 times and on long lighting status, then learning completed
d). To learn other keys, repeat steps 2 and 3

snigapoe has rectified the problem by changing to another power outlet. This is not the Himedia problem but your home grounding has current leakage.

Yes, the device build in with standard GooglePlay store. You could download apps from the Store.

As I known 6 months ago, Astro On the Go only support Samsung and IPad only, I am not sure they have improved this now.

I'll need to test if the Astro on the Go app works on HiMedia device. Will ask my buddy who has the earlier HiMedia box to test for me. Thanks for feedback, nicety. And for chatting with me on Whatsapp too.

Just enter the weight and destination.

Let me know if you agreed with the shipping cost.

There are several ways with different price, which way can be used to ship to USA?

@seanlock85, @ttan777,

I managed to simulate the AirPlay no sound with Q5II, Q6II and Q16. Strangely nobody reported this issue. I will feedback to Himedia immediately.

For the 1GB app partition, I am still convincing Himedia to increase it to 2GB. No easy because other Himedia reseller do not complaint about this.

Finally received the Q16. Only had time enough to open the postage wrapping and check the content.

Other than the beat up box, things look okay. With the weight of the unit itself, I hope it withstood the postage handling.

Would be doubly nice if had got double box for postage.

Will only have time to set up and test from this Sunday.

Thank you bro for acknowledge receipt. Would be good to hear different feedback from Singapore.

As per other Singapore customers feedback the streaming lagging is less compare to Malaysia.

I'm interested to get a unit, but need to understand some aspects of the unit before I commit. Originally plan to use it as a 24/7 torrent client but don't quite understand how the external sata interface works.

Do I connect the hdd as shown below? Without any external enclosure?
Not sure if I can find any enclosure that fits the special sata cable himedia uses.

By the way, which wireless keyboard and mouse will you recommend to use with Q16? Thanks.

Hey bro,

Strongly not recommend to install the naked harddisk as your photo. You can get USB portable HDD easily in the market today and the price is no much different from the naked Sata HDD. The external portable HDD will solve your problem.

There are too many wireless keyboard and mouse in the market, we could not test all the brand. But so far I use any generic wireless mouse and never encounter any problem.

Hi, I'm new to this whole tv box device & not very tech savvy! Pls bear w my qstns!
1) Can I know if I can stream/watch YouTube on this Q16 model?
2) And is this essentially just "plug n play" without too much other own installation of apps etc?
3) I read somewhere Airplay is supported so I can watch stuff on my iPad/iPhone thru this tv box?
4) being "basic" user, would I benefit much getting this new Q16 model than the Q5ii?
4) Is this a China version? and what abt support/warranty?
5) is the promo price still valid now? (Price incl postage) and in stock?
Thank you fr yr time

In general OK, many providers with many channels but not all are smooth so one needs to try it out to get familiar. The only problem is XBMC is way too slow to be useful and I don't have this problem with XBMC on window , any idea about this issue rclxub.gif , may be because of the pre-installed version ?

In general OK, many providers with many channels but not all are smooth so one needs to try it out to get familiar. The only problem is XBMC is way too slow to be useful and I don't have this problem with XBMC on window , any idea about this issueĀ  rclxub.gif , may be because of the pre-installed version ?
*
Bro, there is no perinstalled Xbmc, the xbmc is installed by us which download from Xbmc official web site.

The pc version is not the same as Android Xbmc, the OS architecture, Cpu and memory are not the same and the coding could be develop by different team as well.

If you buy the box from CHINA directly then you will have problem with Google play store. This is not just applicable to Q16, Himedia always has two firmware for each model, China firmware or overseas firmware. If you buy oversea firmware version there is no issue with Google services.

By the way, the thread you given is year 2013, most of the points are no longer valid.

Please do not accept the auto update, some customers lost the GooglePlay after update.

Please wait while Himedia sent me official Himedia firmware, I will update in the forum and upload into my skydrive.

No problem, just revert back to 1.0.6. The firmware 1.0.6 is in my skydive. I have the documentation in the skydrive about the firmware refresh and quick restore xbmc . Pls install XBMC version 12.3

bro,
one more question, is the cloudTV can be the replacement for our Astro? I'm into the live football matches, hong kong tv drama (for my parent) and lastly cartoon channels for my kids. So is all ths just for USD5 or I need to subscribe to premium services as stated in the FAQ?

Want to weight the diff of the amount I'm paying now to Astro and this cludtv. If much economical, then is fantastic. Also can I get the box for to watch the live world cup via cloud TV next week if I place a order from you on Monday?

Regards,
Anthony

Thank you for inquiry. The key different is the 16 GB EMMC flash and gigabit LAN port. In term of price, Q16 is worth to buy.

For Plex, my customers has tested in Q5 and Q5II. Personally I do not have plex account to test. I could help you to verify if you could PM me the detail.

Very good question. CloudTV has almost all popular international channels, USD5/month is the premium service which included HK, CN and TW channels. You could visit CloudTV.bz web site or email to them as I am not convenient to promo it here. But I have to emphasis that Astro is paid service with dedicated Satalite, definitely the service level and availability is better than Internet iptv.

If you could place order now before 3pm, you will receive by Monday. If you place order on Monday, most probably you get it Wednesday or Tuesday.

No problem bro. Hope the answer give you better understanding. If not please pm me, there is still grey area for IPTV legality in Malaysia, it is not convenient for us to discuss openly here. Pls feel free to pm me for further question about CloudTV.

When the xBMC freezed, will it resume after that? Or the entire xBMC freezed forever?

For the YouTube, I do not have such problem. Are you using the version 5.0.21?

Sorry for the questions, this will help me to understand your problem further.

If the XBMC freezed forever then have to reboot the box to restart the xBMC, this could be due to the addon.

For the YouTube please kindly use the Youtube app instead of XBMC.

107 has been tested and upload in the skydrive. 107 UI is slightly changed and fix some minors bugs. Please feel free to try, there is possible to fall back to 106. Just remember to backup the apps and xBMC.

I think maybe you confused by the Chinese text in the home page. The home page is link to the movies available in MangoTV. Because MangoTV is Chinese apps, the movies title is display Chinese. If you use English apps such as XBMC, then the movies title is English. Android is multi language OS, you can switch the language to English or Chinese or even Malay. But if apps are developed in different native language, you cannot change it to English. Hope my clarification clear the miss understanding.

I'm the reseller of Himedia might not be the right party to comment, but I have to highlight that Himedia has been long time in the media player market, the product are proven. You may try to Google or Baidu for the comparison. If you can read Chinese, below article comment between both.

Dear Customers,

Please to be noted that QVOD totally unable to stream now, most probably due to the below announcement.

http://asiatechhub.com/qvod-shuts-servers-...ating-industry/

Not sure this is permanent or temporary, we keep you update if the service resume.

P/S : Pls use Azdrama for the time being as mentioned in the getting started email.

Thank you for inquiry. The device is same as your Android phone, if you could stream from your Andriod phone then it can stream the same way. The only different is it display on your large TV screen instead of small phone screen. If you watch English movies, you can test xBMC in your Android phone or PC. If you watch Chines/Korean movies then you could try azdrama website.

hi nicety, I was watching back my 1080p Remux movie and found that they are not smooth. The video will become slow-mo during high action scene. I remember when I watch the movie earlier when i just got the box from u I do not have this problem so was wondering if I have done something to the setting.

Not sure if you by any chance get to try the movie below.

Thank you for inquiry bro. Pls find below my answer:

1). The key different of H8 is it use cheaper processor for budget constraint customer and do not have Mango TV building

2). If youdo not have budget constraint then Q16 is better.

3). The remote control and Android menu are English. However those Chinese apps are Chinese.

Yes, you can watch Azdrama from the browser directly, lovetvshow I need to test. As well as the website using flash or HTML 5, then should be no problem.

If you do not have budget cconstraint I will recommend Q16 because of the extra flash memory.

Q5II and Q6II are the same spec except the casing material and color.

Thank you for inquiry.

Q16 quad core is exactly the same spec as Q5 quad core, chipset are the same except it has 16GB EMMC flash. This is special deal for Hong Kong reseller and me only because we understand our customer needs. At the moment you could not find Q16 quad core in Himedia website, only dual core published in the website. Just refer to Q5 Quad Core product description.

Dear Customers, if you subscribed to Netflix, please follow the below step to upgrade your Netflix to Super HD streaming :

1). Pls download the apk file in my Skydrive drive under subfolder "Netflix Super HD".

2). Backup your current Netflix apk file to external Pendrive just in case you would like to fall back.

3). Uninstall your current Netflix and install the Super HD version by click the downloaded APK file.

4). Check your Netflix setting in your Netflix account, set the Data Usage to Auto or High as per below link :
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/supportO...1&map_seq=55665

Netflix streaming will start with none HD, if your Internet bandwidth is sufficient, it will auto switch to HD or Super HD. As per my testing, mostly you will get HD during day time and night time possible to get Super HD.

P/S : If you are new about Netflix. please to be noted Netflix is paid service. We do not sell Netflix service but you could get it from Lowyat thread.

In term of audio video codec, Himedia has longer history in media player development, Himedia audio video capability is better than X8H. This is software development which you could not compare in term of hardware specification.

As mentioned in x8h thread, the reason to choose x8h if you merely depend on xBMC to watch movies because x8H has xBMC minix edition which customized from Minix hardware.

Both q16 and x8h have it's strength, the selection is depend on your requirement.

Since you are doing the survey, let me share with you the below :

1). Selection criteria of Android TV box is not the CPU speed or number of cores, very important criteria is the audio/video decoding capability and the reliability of the hardware.
2). Hardware Principle play very important role. Please select the hardware manufacturer that has in-house Android engineer to continuously develop the firmware to fix software bugs and capable to develop Android Apps as value added service.
3). Check the historical firmware version to verify the continuous bug fixes and improvement.
4). Please avoid Stick base or dongle base Android TV due to the heat and WIFI signal issues.
5). Post sales support is very important to optimize your device. It is best if the principle has public forum for sharing and feedback.

P/S : Android player is different from traditional DVD or Blueray player where you the functionality is static. Android Player is software driven, the functionalities are dynamic by upgrading the apps or firmware. Therefore post sales support is very important and sharing of information among the community is very important as well.

Hi Nicety, just received the goods yesterday. After browse through movies from my hard-disc, I found myself in doubt when comparing to my old Himedia A600 series.
Please refer to my doubts as per below:

1)How come I can't find a way to browse movie folder by previewing the picture attached inside the same folder as what I always did in the old model? or did I miss something?

2)When I pressed on the menu button while playing movie, why there is no way for me to adjust the video setting for example like those brightness, contrast and saturation as what I always did in the old model? or did I miss something?

Kindly advise.

Thanks in advance.

Your may refer to HD600A Quad Core product catalog as below, the player will be the same as Q5 quad core or Q16 quad core.

http://www.himedia-tech.cn/product_show.php?id=89

The operating system and the CPU of HD600A quad core is totally different form the HD600A. Please do not expect the same player for HD600A and HD600A quad core, only the casing is the same.

The beauty of Android player is capable to install 3rd party player from Googleplay and do not bonded to the hardware manufacturer. Just search 3rd party player from the GooglePlay if any player meeting your requirement. But I am very confident you will like Himedia native player at the end. As mentioned earlier, the most important of the player is not the cosmetic but the audio and video codec capability.

Does anyone know how to set Proxy for Ethernet connection on Tv box it self instead of setting the whole modem.

Bro, Ethernet port could not set proxy.

To set proxy for Ethernet, you need 3rd party app such as proxydroid. But using 3rd party apps you need to root the device.

My suggestion to customer is :

1). Use wifi with proxy setting
2). Use Ethernet without proxy

With the above setting, you have the flexibility to switch between proxy and none proxy without changing the setting.

Hi Everybody,

I bought the Himedia Q16 + Mele F10 from Nicety

1) Delivery was fast

2) Setting up was easy

I am newbie to Android TV Box and know that the learning curve is steep, however, Nicety included starting guide which helped greatly.

Highly recommended seller!!!

I have q5ii nand and I am not very satisfied because the kernel is 720p,xbmc is not working well and there is not 24p playback. The q16 quad has improved in those areas ?
1080/24p is supported in resolutions and most important the kernel is 1080p or just 720p ?
I live in Greece do you sent abroad if I pay you with PayPal and what will be the price including postage in us dollars ?
Thank you

I've just bought a HiMedia Q16 Quad Core from nicety after previously getting a HiMedia Q5II from him due to the excellent service he provided.

The delivery was very quick and he set everything up nicely with useful apps.

He's definitely a seller that I would wholeheartedly recommend if anyone is looking for an Android TV box. Not to mention, the product itself is an improvement over the decent Q5II. smile.gif

Hello nicety. I noticed that the firmware version of my box is 1.0.2 while the latest version on your OneDrive is 1.0.4. How do I upgrade the firmware? There's an option to perform a local upgrade in the Settings menu. Can I download the file from your OneDrive and perform the upgrade using that option? Thanks. smile.gif

Dear Customers,

Firmware for Quad Core(1.0.4) and Dual Core(1.0.8) already available in my Skydrive. Just download the firmware from my Skydrive to your Pendrive root directory (DO NOT unzip the file or save in subfolder). There is 2 way to upgrade the firmware :


1). Goto Setting -> Upgrade -> Choose local upgrade. This method will retain the apps and settings after the upgrade.


2). Use the Restore Button to upgrade. This method is clean upgrade, it will remove all the apps and setting, pls backup the apps before use 2nd method. Detail step by step guide is in the Skydrive.

P/S : Upgrade the firmware only when necessary. If the current firmware do not give any issue, it is advisable not to upgrade.

Below are the change log for Dual Core(1.0.8) :
1. Add MangoTV logo in the loading screen
2. Long press HOME button to enter recent used apps and clean apps from memory
3. Minor improvement of Himedia Launcher
4. Fix wrong time shown in some Live TV Apps
5. Launcher error -> http://bbs.himedia.cn/thread-173758-1-1.html
6. Firmware Upgrade intermittent problem.

Below are change log for Quad Core(1.0.4)
1. Improve WIFI stability
2. Fix AirPlay Mirroring issue
3. Long press HOME button to enter recent used apps and clean apps from memory
4. Fix double image when play back video
5. Nibiru improved UI
6. Improve launcher issue

Long presss HOME button, the below screen show.

Bought Q16 Quad from nicety few weeks back... i'm quite busy no time to write review until now, but i still want to share with those potential buyer who are still not made decision yet to buy from which seller, our TS here nicety is the right choice.

(1) Deliver is fast as promised, item reach me next day after my payment done, unfortunately i'm not around when poslaju guy come and delay 1 more day.

(2) Packing are nice, the item are brand new and the MAC address of the TV Box (device it self) are match with the MAC address on the Original product packing box. I mentioned this because some of the seller sell warranty claimed set to buyer and usually MAC address do not match with the box.

(3) After sales service & support are GREAT !!! Having problem with my own network setup and nicety help me to figure out remotely by using Team Viewer program to check both my TV Box & PC.
Just take note for those user who want to setup using Manual IP address, by default the box are configure as Auto IP configuration, pls make sure the Subnet are configure as 255.255.255.0 , not 255.255.255.255 because when 1st time switching from default Auto IP to Manual IP configuration, that Subnet column already automatic fill in with wrong Subnet which is 255.255.255.255 and you need to manually edit to 255.255.255.0 .For my case i didn't notice subnet are wrong because i can able to online until i find out i can't share my files within the same network from my PC hardisk.

(4) The product it self is great in quality and functionality, but yes there are some bug in firmware need to be fix and i believe it can be settle in future firmware.

TS nicety definitely know very well on product knowledge and trouble shutting... he know what he is selling unlike another 2 seller (C and M) which is selling similar product in lowyat forum but with very poor product knowledge and always give others 'official' link to user to find out how to solve the problem by self rclxub.gif
Keep up your great work nicety !! thumbup.gif

i m not user of q16... yet, but q5ii.

it is people like you, nicety and sicheh (another q5ii) user that have shown me the big world of androidtv esp china stuff! thumbup.gif

my experience says it is all about one's own effort to try and test, plus input from others who are willing to share and help that makes the device as productive as it should be. there is no other way as technology moves very quickly and users face the wrath of authorities, isp's and the physical well being of the internet.

one thing i find users - if things don't work well, too often and too quick, the fault falls on broadband speed, modem, router or the device. it is not obvious that the problem is often due to wrong settings, obsolete apps, wrong app versions, even bad cables!

i am more than willing to share with any himedia/android user as much as others have shared with me - in the right threads, of course. smile.gif

Thank you very much bro. I found one thing very important from my customer is the trust. Your trust and allow me to remote to your box which lead us to find the root cause of the subnet mask.

Highly appreciate all buyers that trust us and continuing support.

Android player is different from traditional media player, DVD or Blueray where the functions are static. Android Player is software driven, the functionality is dynamic and upgradable. Therefore sharing of information among the community is very important. Looking forward more buyers willing to sharing their experience and tested apps.

Tested popcorn time with Q16 Quad Core, work well included 1080p. Q16 is perfect for popcorn time because of large EMMC flash to cache the high resolution movies.

Dear Customers,

Please take note of the below info and the solution to refresh you existing apps if you encounter the same error message. The workable APK files already uploaded in the skydrive, just uninstall the current version and reinstalled with the new APK files.

Please read this for HITV related... I believe you guys understand Chinese :
http://bbs.himedia.cn/thread-175249-1-1.html

Due to restricted by Chinese government :

http://news.so.com/ns?tn=news&q=%E5%B9%BF%...%8B%E6%9E%B6app

beside HITV, all the Chinese Video On Demand apps (TV Version apps, not mobile version apps) no longer provide service to user who install apps on TV Box (apps can detect installed device)... you guys need to use special 'hack/modified' version only can work on TV Box... if download those apps directly from official site (Youku,Sohu,Tudo...etc) will not work on Android TV Box.
For those who need special hack/modified version of Chinese VOD TV apps which is still can work on Android TV Box then you can download this apps (č£…ęœŗåæ…å¤‡) from ZNDS and install via č£…ęœŗåæ…å¤‡ the apps will work again...

Hi Nicety.

I received a mssg to update the launcher for my Q16 dualcore and I've updated it. I notice there is a new 360 tv app and the boot up and thumbnails loading seems to be faster now. Should I still update the v1.0.8 firmware?
BTW how do I check my current firmware and is there any changelog on the v1.0.8 firmware? TQ

As we always advise, if you do not have any issue with your box, we do not recommend to update the firmware, 108 is merely enhancement of the Mango launcher.

Below thread included the change log of 108.

Yes Q16 support 3d iso, mkv and mp4 format and more. We are selling firm and best price everyday, you could Google the market price of Q16. To be honest, we would like to spend more our time for the post sales support instead of negotiations.

this q16 quad can play almost any format there is, incl bdmv iso with correct menu, playlist and chapterlist.
pass thru hd audio, which is impt for home theater systems.

trust me, u want good support and service from a seller like nicety more than u want a small discount!



i m a happy user of q5ii dual for a year and now a new user of q16 quad. i will say most of the features are exactly the same as q5ii/q5iii, so do check this older and more active thread for some good info n tips. just about any app on q5ii will work in q16, no problem.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2598907/+1880

the big difference is q16 with a much larger memory can handle certain apps that require more memory, e.g. popcorn time. q16 can play 1080p files but q5ii can play only 720p. if u havent tried it, u r missing a lot. with this popcorn time, u will use xbmc much less. for same reason, q16 can take a lot more apps as some are pretty large, e.g. xbmc, astro.on.the.go, some chinese apps.

well... i hv no idea what is mkv 3d mvc until u asked the question!

looks like this format is a rip from 3d bd, re-encoded as mvc onto mkv to be played as 3d or 2d, can be dts or dtshdma - am i right?

if ripped and contained in mkv, then i can see it has the 2d-3d option but is not lossless like bdmv/iso/m2ts.

still, it does appear as a good option to collect rips that are 2d/3d rather than just 2d.

but mvc is not popular yet, not much of a selection unless u r planning to rip them yrself, am i right?



as nicety pointed out, q16 has specs to play this 3d mvc, so should be ok.

i will get one of these mvc and test it myself, thanks for heads up! biggrin.gif

Yes, I ripped the BD and save it as mkv format, it is space saving and easier to watch ! the ripped 3D mvc is 100% loss less and put into the mkv container. the problem is this kind of 3D mvc in MKV container is not standard format as supported by most of the media players, so far I only know mede8er media player and stereoscopic software player are able to play it.

Another question, If I ripped it as BD3D.iso with original bluray bitrate (no conversion, file size is around 20GB average), and use Q16 to play it via 1Gbps NFS sharing, I'd like to know, can Q16 able to

Play it smoothly without stuttering? and able to fast forward or backward without issue?
Play it with DTS-HD/TrueHD pass through to my amp?
Play it with subtitle on?

So far I know those high end media player from popcorn hour/Dune HD/Oppo sigma base are able to play very high bit rate movie without issue.

thank you for comments.

i m skeptical it is lossless for a 20gb file, iso or mkv. becos i have 30-50gb bdmv/iso/m2ts, 2d only - these are truly lossless, i know. 20gb, for 3d lossless...? i hv doubts...

i wud like to try it, but i can't get hold of any of these mvc files. checked torrents, very few of them, few/zero seeds, will take forever, so i just gave up. looks like it will take some time b4 it gets popular, if ever.

i trust the specs of q16, shud be ok but u cant be sure until u try. moreover, such formats being new and not popular yet can be tricky - all sorts of bugs and traps may exist...

sorry, like to help u but can't. smile.gif

Let me share my experience with all users/potential users of Q16 quadcore, especially for those who have used Q5ii dualcore.

My review of Q16 quadcore (vs Q5ii dualcore)

Background
Used Q5ii dual for a year, Q16 quad for a few days.
Unifi VIP10
Asus RT N12HP router, ethernet and wifi
Static IP
1-7 devices used at any one time
Double storey house

Startup/Shutdown
Startup and shutdown is just as fast if not faster than Q5ii (emmc).

Launcher
If you don’t like the original Mango launcher, you can install another launcher like Apex or Nova. If you wish to go back to Mango launcher, just press home. Then, after programming a fast key to access your preferred launcher with the new shortcut app, you can toggle between the 2 launchers.

Flash memory
A big memory is necessary to install and run more and bigger apps. Apps like XBMC and Astro-on-the-Go take up a lot of memory. For Q5ii, it is not possible to play 1080p files in Popcorn Time due to its small memory. In the case where you have little memory left after installing many apps, even 720p files won’t play, so you need to clean cache or remove 1 or 2 apps. With Q16, there is ample memory for many apps such that you need not worry about constantly cleaning cache or removing apps. In numbers, you may have a situation like 300MB available on Q5ii but 3GB on Q16 - for the same apps.

Android 4.4 KitKat/1080p kernel vs 4.2 Jellybean/720p kernel
I do not know if it is due to the android version or the kernel but I can safely say the video output from Q16 is a touch superior to Q5ii. The colors are more vivid, definitely deeper for USB playback, likely due to a new feature called ā€œphoto quality setupā€. If you find the colors too deep, use menu button to access that function, play around with the options including ā€œuser definedā€ where you can reduce hue and saturation.

China Apps
With same settings, I find streaming from Chinese sites Pudding, VST, PPTV and IMGOTV (my ranking in that order) smoother and with improved chances of getting the highest resolution available (ā€œblue rayā€ or ā€œsuperā€). Q5ii works well on these too but more likely can only get ā€œstandardā€ or ā€œhighā€ resolution and not ā€œsuperā€ most of the time.

XBMC 13.2 Gotham
There is not much difference that I noticed. Except that in system/settings/video, highest resolution setting available is 1080p for Q16 while it is 720p for Q5ii.

Popcorn Time 2.3.2
This is my favourite movies/TV series app. Q5ii can’t play 1080p files due to memory limitations, can play only 720p at best. Q16 can handle nicely all that is available and working.

HD Audio
With audio pass through, BDMV/ISO/m2ts work flawlessly delivering DTSHDMA audio and enabling full menus – same as Q5ii.

Samba
Likely due to improved and bigger resourses of the Q16, the Samba function works much better than in Q5ii. As host, Q16 transmits via wifi BDMV video and DTSHDMA audio smoothly to the Q5ii but not the other way round. Q16 can receive DTSHDMA smoothly from a PC but Q5ii can’t. Q5ii can handle up to DTS only for the most part. I have not tested the Samba 3D, UPNP and NFS functions.
On Q5ii, auto search on LAN does not work. On Q16 quad, it works the way it should - auto detect your PC and other powered on devices on same LAN to seek to access file sharing. Just key in id and pw, save the shortcut when prompted and it’ll get to work.

Not-so-good
At this time, I really have not found any serious flaw or problem that deserves mention here. But I do want to comment on a related item.
Mele F10 airmouse
Not a Himedia product, the Mele F10 airmouse do me no favors. Probably a result of using normal mouse and Himedia remote control for so long, it is hard to adapt to some of the unconventional strokes with this airmouse, the major one being: on an ordinary mouse, there is left click and right click, a roller in the center to scroll up/down.; on Himedia remote control, the 4 arrows up/down/left/right surround the OK/enter button – all that is good and normal. Now, on that Mele airmouse, the center button with 4 arrows around it is not ā€œOK/enterā€ but is left click! While the left click button is not left click but is ā€œOK/enterā€ – i.e., the buttons are ā€œreversedā€, so you make mistakes all the time, naturally. And that is annoying. A case of poor design not following conventions and intuition found on other common control devices?
To scroll, you must get out of mouse function (pressing another button twice is a pain), to use arrows. Only one function can be used at one time – either as mouse or as remote control.
The keyboard buttons are small – too small for my fat fingers! It also seems too sensitive, need two hands to steady it esp to click a small spot.
This airmouse work with Q16 but not recommended for Q5ii. With Q5ii, the lower functions like arrows, enter and back are fine but using other functions like menu can cause the device to crash and reboot after which the wifi function is turned off - probably an unexpected shutdown security measure.
Unless you have tested and liked this airmouse, my advice: better get a wireless mouse.

My Conclusion
I say it is worth paying a bit more for Q16 quad rather than Q5ii dual (can’t say anything about Q5ii quad). I understand there is the issue of VPN not fixed yet for quads, hopefully it will be resolved soon. And hope that a later firmware version will fix some of the kinks known so far.
Lastly, a whole lotta thanks to Nicety who has continuously proven himself to be a top notch online seller as being patient, conscientious, knowledgeable, quick and helpful to us customers and users.
My comments are based on my own experience; if any user has a different experience and that is always possible given the use of different isp’s, broadband speed, routers, etc., please do not hesitate to share. It is the sharing of experience that allows us to derive maximum benefits for a product we acquire. I have benefitted from many users here and always willing to share with others anytime.

Thanks for the info about Q16, good to know it can stream blue-ray. I have Q5ii dual for a year too and am interested in Q16 quad.

I have just found an apk for testing h.265 at

http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=317409217...2183127&third=1

There are a few h.265 channels with the same videos being played over and over again, not the usual tv channels. Don't update when asked.

Astro OTG does not work with Android 4.4.2, not just Himedia, Minix player crashed as well. This is Astro OTG compatibility problem, you can channel to Astro Development team.

the biggest advantages of q16 over q5ii is the larger memory to play all popcorn time and ability to stream wifi bdmv.
4k, uhd, h265... my tv can't cope! tongue.gif or too little stuff out there, no point.

then, it is the first disadvantage compared to q5ii. chances are astro hasn't caught up with 4.4.2, just like it took a while for tm to catch up for hypptv everywhere to work on 4.2.

i did not know becos when i was logging in fresh after installation, i had trouble with mele arimouse, got message i was locked out, need to call to unlock account. so, i thought that was the problem.

anyway, not a big loss, i can still access aotg on the q5ii! biggrin.gif

Hi Nicety,

After upgraded from my old Himedia HD600A to this Q16, I have notice quite a number of my 720p and 1080p mkv(3 to 6 Gb size
) encounter distort/zig-zag effect. Do you have any idea of what had been went wrong? Any setting that need my attention? Kindly advise.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Customers.

Just help one of the customer rectified Popcorn Time problem, . If you experience your PopCorn Time always run between 10-20KB/s, pls take note of the below :

1). Please choose 720p instead of 1080p. Typical 720p movies required 150KB/s, below that will cause POPcorn hang.
Attached Image

2). Please enable VPN of the Popcorn setting to prevent ISP throttle your internet. After enable the VPN, surprisingly the speed increase from 20KB/s to 300KB/s.

ya, i think if broadboad speed is <5mbps, 1080p may not work well.
with unifi10, i hv good results with 1080p. just watched a 2hr movie 1080p, smooth all the way.
a tip i can suggest is if the movie hangs or lag, exit the movie, go back in - cache is still there but will start to play from beginning.
a drawback of popcorn is it does not resume if u exit and go back in for same movie, will start all over.
the other thing is it is hard to fast forward by using the mouse - it usually hangs or takes a very long time to get there.

vpn on or off - i m not sure becos i tested it many times, seems about the same to me. on or off, for videos with good seeds and peers, i get 500-1000kbps - max available. perhaps it kicks in only when broadband speed is not fast enough? anyway, no harm, i set it to on!

Quick question..I managed to stream bluray with DTS-HDMA Audio fine..

However, when i try to stream bluray with Dolby TrueHD 7.1 Audio, there is no sound. I have to use 5.1 audio to get the audio..where can I set up the TrueHD audio to get it working?

I am using the himedia media center to play. I have tested HDMI settings as Auto and RAW..still the same.

My setup is Q16 > Denon AVR > TV & Speakers (7.1) using HDMI cables

By the way, my AVR does support the TrueHD 7.1 Audio

i hv encountered this.

as most are dtshdma, less ddtruehd files, i hv not seen played too many. but... i hv one that plays fine, another does not - need to select dd5.1.

don't really know why but i can only suspect something amiss in the ripping process. note there are ddtruehd files that are re-encoded as dtshdma - these will play fine.

apparently this happens to some other players too.

I dont think its the way the file was ripped..because when I stream the same file from my PC using tmt player through HDMI to the same avr and 7.1 speakers, I can get the truehd 7.1 sound.. My avr also display it as Dolby truehd

When you play from media center, the player will tell you what's the audio codec detected. Pls snapshot the screen and sent to me.

In addition, please try a few Dolby TrueHD 7.1 files.

when using popcorn time, i only get audio output from my right speaker n woofer (using 5.1HT)...understood that most of the movie are 2.0, but shouldn't it be coming from left and right speaker instead?

any1 facing the same issue?

btw: seller is really responsive and I manage to get the media player the 2 days after payment (considering my payment was at 11pm that night)

yes, it is true some of them are single audio, i.e. left or right channel only.

these videos are probably the smallest size compressed mp4 files meant to cater to low speed, low memory devices like handphones and small tablets - single audio will do. even for androids 4gb like q5ii dual core, with many apps installed n little memory left, can't get some 720p to play!

after movie selection, the proposed video is always the one with most no. of seeds and peers (that's how p2p torrent work). click on the file info line, see what else is there; there can be up to 5 files to choose from for same movie. how the nos. work:

case 1. "720p 800mb 2 hrs" video=>111KBps average. 111KBps=>888kbps, so even 1mbps speed will work, theoretically.
case 2. "1080p" 4.7gb 2 hrs" video=>653KBps=>5.2mbps, so even Unifi VIP5 won't stream smoothly, theoretically.

i now know how to select to get the best ones. if decent no. of seeds n peers, with vip10, i can get case 2 easily, assuming no other device is hogging bandwidth. you can see how fast it is streaming. and i actually took a look into one 4.7gb file with the popcorn windows version, found it is an mkv ac3 file, i.e. dolby 5.1. i copied that file on hdd to playback on android in dolby 5.1! tongue.gif but... same video on android comes out lcpm stereo, probably because the android version 2.3 is way behind the much more developed pc version 5.0.

last tip for you - the free vpn may not be useful, may even slow the streaming - test it to confirm.

enjoy! biggrin.gif

about popcorn time, i tried a few more shows. the largest file i managed to stream without message "insufficient memory" is 5.5gb.
tried 6.5gb, 7.5gb, insufficient memory. will need q32 to do the job! biggrin.gif

----


boyz n girlz...


there is new firmware 1.0.6. i just updated, good. seems to work a little faster and smoother. thumbup.gif

a few comments:

.. if u can't find where to update/upgrade via usb in launcher page settings, go to myapps page and click settings there. it will lead you to a simplified page where u can find it.

.. this firmware comes with the simple ui launcher, no more mango launcher. if u prefer other launcher, can do.

.. mangotv see some changes, a few more minor features, some english now used. mouse seems not to work in some parts, need remote control.

.. i m not sure if due to 106 but hitv works now! rclxms.gif


nicety, kindly add to above, correct me if i erred, tq!

Thank you AVFAN being my first test user. Really appreciated you feedback of the firmware 106.

Dear Customers,

Q16 Quad Core Firmware 1.0.6 is using Simple UI launcher mainly to resolve native VPN setup issue. The firmware already in my Skydrive, just download and try. You could upgrade via Restore button method or Settings -> Upgrade. The firmware contain Google Play Store, no need to apply Google Patch.

Change log:
1. Setup icon changed
2. remove all Chinese info in browser
3. fix the input, timezone and OSD problem after reboot
4. VPN supported
5. fix the AUDIO and subtitle function on RC
6. Vietnam subtitle supported

As usual, if you are satisfied with your current firmware version, please do not upgrade. Unless you would like to explore it.

No, Durian TV is icontent provider.

Himedia produce android media player same as your Android phone, but output to your TV via HDMI port. Himedia do not provide content service, you can get many free Android apps in the market to stream from various free content server.

As mentioned in the thread, we have preinstalled 30++ apps for customers including streaming apps and tools to manage the apps. Basically all the common use apps is already preinstalled.

You could refer to this thread or the below link where my customers share the apps you can use in Himedia box.

Hi Nicety

It's a cool Q16 machine you have. I have a Minix neo X8-H also support 4K. Is this Q16 more powerful than the Minix.

Hi andru,

In term of hardware spec, both Q16 and X8H are almost the same. I would not say which is better then which, both has their pros and cons. X8H has XBMC MINIX edition which is customized for MINIX processor.

Q16 is from Himedia which is well known by it supported video and audio codec which MINIX do not have and the support 3D as well.

if u r still on xbmc frodo or xbmc gotham, consider moving to kodi helix. kodi is the new name of the app, xbmc will disappear.
latest version is kodi 14.0 beta2 helix. i m now using it, good for q16, more stable than the predecessors.

find kodi 14.0 beta2 helix here:
http://kodi.tv/download/

a great new app applicable to kodi only is this bbts.
u gotta love >1500 live tv and radio stations!
mostly sd, some 720p 2.0.
best of all, the message of this bbts addon is "this is a free list; if you paid for it, get a full refund from your seller"!!
includes news, entertainment, uk, usa tv, natgeo people, starworld, etc., etc. all live. thumbup.gif
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDNUm12VgJQ

so, i say:
kodi (formerly xbmc) is the mother of all apps.
mashup is the mother of all addons.
bbts is the mother of all live tv.

xbmc or kodi, q16 with good memory size can give great results with xbmc torrent:
this addon is like popcorn time.
requires good size memory to work.
as the addon on android is no longer supported, it takes a bit of work to make it work.

Thank you AVFAN for the sharing.

Dear Customers,

It's time for the upgrade to KODI Helix 14. If you are not technical savvy, does not matter. This is the value added service we gave you. I have uploaded the KODI APK file and "5 steps quick upgrade XBMC to KODI" guide in my skydrive. You can get your KODI ready as easy as copy files only, the configuration included BBTS and XBMCTORRENT as shared by AFVAN. Enjoy!

there is now kodi 14.0 helix beta3!
i updated today, didn't see any significant change; probably just some bug fixes.

bbts live tv is surely good, enjoying it.

xbmctorrent is tricky. i barely got it to work on q16 but quite happy about it in the end.
but i can't get it to work on q5ii; hope q5iii can work like q16.
the problem is complex. if interested, read my long post#953.

Bro, xBMC/Kodi development cycle is very fast, it is not necessary to upgrade every alpha or beta version. If you satisfy with your current beta version, just stay with it. The next week wil be RC1, RC3, you will be tired if follow each version closely. Please use the 5 steps Quick Restore step by step guide instead of fresh install when you perform release upgrade.

if u mean u r still on gotham and like to have bbts, u surely want to go Kodi 14.0 helix beta3 right away!
bbts is way better than all the live tv streams that I know. beats ilive, livetsreams in old mashup, live channels on cloudtv.
pretty sure can get live soccer matches on skysports 1, 5.
the sd channels are very stable. however, the hd ones are moody... Some smooth, some not.

not entirely sure but I find video addon genesis works better on Kodi than gotham. pretty similar to popcorn time, only it has less hd stuff.

mentioned before, q16 strength lies in the good size memory, can handle all 1080p stuff in popcorn time which smaller memory androids like q5ii can't. also, it can somehow be made to handle xbmctorrent albeit not so elegant. I advise any new android box buyer to go for 16gb, if not 32gb!

lastly. something nice n simple, if u like music and not got it yet.... If u like sky.fm radio music station like I do, get it under a new name called radio tunes in music addons. My fav radio music station. wink.gif

q16 quad is probably among the best in the market now, make full use of it. more so when v r already paying a high price for broadband! tongue.gif

if u mean u r still on gotham and like to have bbts, u surely want to go Kodi 14.0 helix beta3 right away!
bbts is way better than all the live tv streams that I know. beats ilive, livetsreams in old mashup, live channels on cloudtv.
pretty sure can get live soccer matches on skysports 1, 5.
the sd channels are very stable. however, the hd ones are moody... Some smooth, some not.

not entirely sure but I find video addon genesis works better on Kodi than gotham. pretty similar to popcorn time, only it has less hd stuff.

mentioned before, q16 strength lies in the good size memory, can handle all 1080p stuff in popcorn time which smaller memory androids like q5ii can't. also, it can somehow be made to handle xbmctorrent albeit not so elegant. I advise any new android box buyer to go for 16gb, if not 32gb!

lastly. something nice n simple, if u like music and not got it yet.... If u like sky.fm radio music station like I do, get it under a new name called radio tunes in music addons. My fav radio music station.  wink.gif

q16 quad is probably among the best in the market now, make full use of it. more so when v r already paying a high price for broadband! tongue.gif

if u mean captcha, key in the displayed words, yes... sometimes.
i always look for movreel or mightyupload links which do not require captcha.
hugefiles, billionupload and many others ask for it.

One more thing... I can't find my external HDD in kodi/xbmc that's attached to the usb port. How do I add source from the HDD?
*
The external HDD drive will be name as sda1 or sdb1 or sdc1. Please check.

By the way, please do not use XBMC/KODI to play movies from HDD. It is recommended to play via Himedia native player because Himedia player has been optimized to play on Hisilicon processors and come with wide range of video and audio codec which XBMC player do not support. XBMC/KODI should be use for online streaming.

It should be user friendly mah, who the hell knows you gotta dig deep in to access. tongue.gif not for the normal users. It should be setup so that it shows on the main browse screen la, maybe the kodi devs missed this part. They can do it for the thumbdrive I'm sure it's easy to put any HDD attached to the main browse screen.

actually, i think that is the way androids work.

anyone after years of pc windows and new to android will find certain things "strange" in android file/folder management. not only that one u encountered, there are more, e.g.

... android no double click, no drag and drop but click and hold to select
... es file explorer - if option not activated, some files will be hidden, can't see
... some actions need mouse, some need remote control - need both to cover all actions

have fun! biggrin.gif

Bro, we do not import Q10 quad core 4K because it,has only have 8GB flash memory. After deduct Android kernel files and apps files, left only 4GB. I would not recommend 8GB flash memory model because you might have,challenge for large apps like xbmc or,torrent base,streaming app like,popcorn time.

The only Himedia model come with 16GB flash is Q16. We always advise customer to take Q16.

If you reference to latest Android smart phone in the market today, minimum flash is 16GB, this proof the need of flash memory as Android apps getting mature and app getting bigger and bigger to cater for new functionality.

Similar to Apple IOS, 8GB flash no longer exist for latest iPhone or iPad.

Hi Nicety, received my Q16 2 weeks ago and enjoying it very much. Just check with you I installed a 3rd party VPN (PureVPN). Was trying to connect to the VPN but not able to. I googled and read somewhere that in order to use 3rd party VPN on Q16, we need to root it.

Is it true? Is the Q16 rooted already? If I want to root it any way to do it?

To get rid of rooting troublesome, we always advise customers to use native Android vpn as below example :
http://www.securitykiss.com/resources/tuto...s/pptp_android/

Using Android Native vpn, no rooting required. If you install 3rd party VPN via APK file then you need to root the device because 3rd party vpn modify the Android kernel.

For Q16 or Q5 quad core, pls check your firmware 106 and above only support VPN.

Thank you for inquiry. Both Q16 and X8H has its own strength, below my comment base on your requirement :

1). Local content - Himedia start from media player business and later diversify into Android player. The differentiation of himedia is the native Himedia player come with wide range of video and audio codec included DTS and TrueHD DTS 5.1/7.1, BDISO, 3D MVC and etc. To play local content, Q16 has the advantages.

2). Netflix - both Q16 and X8H could play Netflix, I presumed you aware Neflix is paid service and has regional restriction, you need DNS or VPN to overcome the restriction.

3). XBMC - X8H has build in XBMC Gotham 13 Minix edition which is customized for MINIX processors, Hardware acceleration is enabled for X8H. Q16 is using generic XBMC/KODI, KODI 14 is stable in Q16 just could not enable the hardware acceleration.

As mentioned earlier, each has its own strength, you may judge base on your needs.

Yes,you can subscribe to CloudTV, SeasonTV, myIPTV, iptvapk and many choice. However, you have to subscribe to the provider directly as we do not sell iptv service. For long term business, we merely sell himedia hardware.

To compare Android player, not just the hardware spec the most important is the,audio and video codec.Below some tips for you to choose a good Android Player :

Selection criteria when you survey Android TV box :
1). Selection criteria of Android TV box is not the CPU speed or number of cores, very important criteria is the audio/video decoding capability and the reliability of the hardware.
2). Hardware Principle play very important role. Please select the hardware manufacturer that has in-house Android engineer to continuously develop the firmware to fix software bugs and capable to develop Android Apps as value added service.
3). Check the historical firmware version to verify the continuous bug fixes and improvement.
4). Please avoid Stick base or dongle base Android TV due to the heat and WIFI signal issues.
5). Post sales support is very important to optimize your device. It is best if the principle has public forum for sharing and feedback.

Thank you AVFAN.

Dear Customers,

The APK file already uploaded in the skydrive. If you purchased your box after 1st Dec, Showbox already pre-installed in your box.

showbox is good!

users, just take note:
.. to get subs, u must register with opensubtitles:
http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/newuser
.. if u get "server error", it means your dns can't get thru to showbox. solution is to use another open dns or switch to wifi

showbox is excellent for tv shows and 720p mp4 movies.

popcorn time is excellent for 1080p (q16 only, not q5ii, q5iii?) mp4/mkv movies, not so good for tv shows.

these two combined - u have it all for english vod's! thumbup.gif

i hv tried popcorn time, xbmctorrent, zona and showbox.

popcorn time and showbox are best - uptodate, easy to use, stable, malware free (so far), subs.
xbmctorrent is ok but takes more steps, may not work well on some androids.
zona is not english user friendly as it is russian based.
looking forward to pulsar which is from the developer of xbmctorrent.

if anyone had tried others, pls comment, share. q16's memory can take a few more apps!

Sorry bro, Android device do not need to jailbreak but rooting. The device is not root and rooting will void the warranty as per manufacturer policy. I presumed you understand the side effect of rooted device.

To root the device you can google "nicety Himedia root" which shared by my customer. However if you could share the reason of rooting maybe we could help you.

not sure what u mean, pls explain a bit better.


but i suspect u havent explored fully the remote control, and maybe not using mouse.
you need to use both remote control and mouse to get all functions for all apps.
some apps like popcorn can't work with remote, need mouse.
latest version of mangotv works only with remote, mouse wont work.

**note u can use remote as a mouse but wont serve all functions e.g. like drag n drop.

The soft button is removed since Dual Core model because customers complaint the soft button is irritating when watching movies.

If you want you could download 3rd party task menu from Google Play store.

i hv read posts in other threads about mibox n mitv can't access certain things other androids can. i do not know these devices. so, can't comment.

but for himedia, i hv used a lot over the last year. i will say these:

.. not all android brands or even models of same brand are the same
.. the device itself does not guarantee u all the good n smooth stuff
.. other impt factors incl: broadband speed/stability; optimal settings for ip/dns/vpn; up-to-date firmware/apks; service support from seller
.. personal interest, patience and time spent in understanding how all that works to get the max from the device
.. (repeat) androidtv box is not static like dvd player or axtrobox - u need constant updates to keep up with software changes for hardware/apps/apks

if u do the above right, u enjoy a lot n save a lot of money. i no longer miss axtro becos i m now getting more than before. english, i just watched in hd, 2 new movies in the last 3 days.

in addition, himedia offers something unique and very good for mandarin movies/drama, i just watched the first 3 episodes of condor heroes 2014, in hd, nice! thumbup.gif

lastly, u may want to read this thread where many new android users ask the same questions.

Thanks for the answer, I just worry about the stability, due to China is now prohibit media box users of other countries to watch any movie, drama, show and others from certain free apk like VST, Youku and Todou. Does himedia solve this problem? like watching the movie but lagging every second.

yes, that is true. the blockages for generic apks like vst, youku, vqq, togic apply to himedia box just like others.

(note that sometimes it is not due to china blocking but local isp like unifi having exhausted their china traffic quota, can't get anything thru - this happened last sep and nov.)

there may be better ways to deal with the china blockages, i can think of 3:

.. find the lastest apks, update; those guys need to play hide n seek, so u follow
.. use workable dns or vpn (some free, some payable)
.. install as many apps as u can such that at least 1 or 2 work at any one time; my experience, puding, hitv and mango works best (note hitv n mango are unique to himedia, their apks will not work on other devices)

nicety can advise u more on this...

i see...
if the apks and dns are not the best ones, u will surely not stream well with them.
there were times when i got full hd on vst and pptv but very hard now due to geoblocks, etc.
now, i tend to stick to hitv and puding which still work well.

yr case, i think only a good vpn will get the device to stream well but that will come with a cost.
also, unifi5 will probably not allow you to stream the highest hd videos.
my unifi10 ethernet q16 can sometimes get the highest, č“å…‰ smoothly but usually č¶…ęø… or é«˜ęø….

no, i dun hv any to suggest; i m still looking for a reliable one as backup when the unifi quota problem recurs, and i expect it to.

but do google, there may be some with free trial period.

if still considering new device, himedia q16 is probably among the best - large memory required to take more apps and stream 1080p from certain sites like popcorn time; usb playback with native player is simple and effective incl iso/bdmv/dtshdma files; easy to use samba; comes with hitv and mangotv for chinese videos. plus seller nicety's great service, as mentioned by many here already! wink.gif

Bro, the China givernment blockage alternative solution has been shared by my customers at the below thread, remember to thanks to se3333 if you get it work with your device.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2598907/+1830

To be noted regional restriction is by the app developer due to license infringement. You can use various method to by pass the regional restriction as mentioned by AFVAN.

As always mention in my thread, to enjoy the free stuff in the Android box, all buyers should share there experience and findings in the forum in order to optimize the utilization of the box.

Not all apps are lagging if you choose the right app and have sufficient internet bandwidth. Good apps leveraging p2p technology or buffering to overcame slow internet connection.
(P/S: 5M unify does not mean you get 5M over the world, Internet is international network, the bottleneck could happen anywhere else depend on the location of the content server).

So sorry I took some time to troubleshoot your problem, finally got good advise from one of my AV expect customer, thank you to Mr Lai.

It is confirmed that TrueHD 7.1 Atmos passthru is not supported since Atmos just annouced by Dolby in August 2014, normal TrueHD 7.1 passthru works very well.

1). To identify it is normal TrueHD 7.1 or Atmos, please refer to the original source blue ray disc, you can verify from www.blu-ray.com

2). I have raised the request to Himedia, hopefully they could add Atmos pssthru into the future firmware.

If using android native vpn, any Android player also could run vpn without rooting.

Most ppl use the wrong method to run vpn then rooting require because VPN is part of the protected Android Kernel.

Native VPN mean you activate VPN from Settings -> More -> VPN, without install any extra app via standard VPN protocol PPTP or L2TP.

None native VPN require to install additional APK file.

Just tested your scenario with HDMI and AV output to 2 TV, sound is ok but video need adjust the video to lower resolution to suit the AV cable which normally NTSC or PAL. Just sent the photo to your Hand-phone.

i played with that a bit before with q5ii, similar results.

seems to me there is only one common single video output, i.e. if set to hdmi higher resolutions, the av composite output can't work on crttv. if set to low resolution, poor video for hdmi. so, one or the other.

audio, i think different outputs. hdmi will give hd audio while digital coaxial/toslink gives core dd/dts and l/r gives stereo - all can be used at same time.

First of all, I have to clarify we do not sell any service related to Astro or IPTV.

Himedia is mainly selling the Android player hardware, we do not sell movies content. Our customers are using the free apps in the market to watch dramas series and live TV as you mentioned. All apps presintalled are free apps and no need to pay any subscription. Of course free stuff has no service level guaranty, you need to track the forum to get the free stuff from time to time. There are new apps developed and released occasionally, if you follow closely with the forum you will get the latest free apps shared among the forumers.

hi nicety. bought the Q6II emmc from u earlier. facing problem with Remux mkv with high bitrate and high motion scene whereby it will go slow mo. I think I have check with you before.

Will this new version have that issue too? If possible pls help to try out the below. 10minute into the movie the fight scene during the 1st Kaiju at sea will notice the effect.

Pacific Rim 2013 1080p Blu-ray Remux AVC DTS-HD MA 7 1 - KRaLiMaRKo

With the faster CPU it shd be able to coupe. If no slowmo then would be interested to get this. TQ.

that particular show, i have both 1080p mkv and bdmv, both plays fine on q5ii and q16. so, i really doubt that is due to the player.

there is one other possibility - yr hdd has some bad sectors or errors, can try to rectify it on yr pc. i say this because i had one hdd like that giving me the same kind of problem u described. you can also try this - copy the file onto another folder in the same hdd and try. if the second file plays fine, u know what it means.

If not mistaken, you are downloaded the MKV ripped version which the slowmotion due to ripping issue where you noticed only when you play via hardware decoder.

Please try the original Pacific Rim Blu-Ray without ripping which is in BDMV format >45GB and test again.

If not mistaken, your phone is lack of memory or phone screen resolution does not support. Pls try on alternative Android phone.

Thank you for inquiry bro, we are selling firm price as mentioned in the thread.

As mentioned in my MINIX, the only reason to use MINIX if you are looking for XBMC minix edition.

To play media files from HDD, MINIX is not the right choice as it lack of codec support, it does not support BD ISO or 3D ISO and common audio codec such as DTS HDMA, Dolby True HD 7.1

been busy with oil price collapse n stock markets, little time for movies and tv lately... tongue.gif

anyway, just to share...

i just installed n tried kodi 14.0 helix (official, not beta or rc).
http://kodi.tv/download/

interesting... my findings so far:

.. this version, setting with mediacodec acceleration on for himedia q16 (should be same for q5iii, q5ii) was fine, unlike previous versions. so, that's very good! nb: this aspect is irrelevant for for other brand devices.
.. works better for bbts - skysports
.. works good with ilive-livestreams - skysports, skynews, cnn, bloomberg
.. works fine with abemin's livestreamspro - supersports, foxsports
.. works good with xbmctorrent - eztv, kickass, yify
.. no good with genesis - think genesis is down or got clipped like mashup?

so, all is good, well done kodi! thumbup.gif will see what they come up with for kodi 14.1.

actually, for me, kodi is now more for live tv streams - news and sports. vod movies n tv series, i m better off with popcorn and showbox. wink.gif

u can use composite video and l/r audio for old crt's, select right settings.

the thing is that is quite a waste - q16 can deliver hd video n audio, i.e. 1080p/4k to tv and dtshdma/ddtruehd to avr.

Hi AVFAN,

Need your advice. I have Samsung UHDTV, Onkyo TX-SR309 AV Receiver and Q16. The hdmi out from Q16 goes to SR309 and then out to UHDTV. SR309 is not 4K ready so will I get a good picture quality or should I get a newer AV Receiver? Or should I connect hdmi from Q16 direct to UHDTV instead?

Need your advice.  I have Samsung UHDTV, Onkyo TX-SR309 AV Receiver and Q16.  The hdmi out from Q16 goes to SR309 and then out to UHDTV.  SR309 is not 4K ready so will I get a good picture quality or should I get a newer AV Receiver? Or should I connect hdmi from Q16 direct to UHDTV instead?
*
the 4K capability of the q16 only comes in only if u play 4k video. n i think there arent many now, so unlikely u want 4k output to tv all the time.

i havent tried bu i wud think if u do play 4k, input to the avr will just be downgraded to max the avr can handle. so, may be a little lower in quality. note also when we say 4k, it also largely depends on yr source - is it really 4k or just labelled 4k?!

if u go q16->tv, you will b assured of 4k video whenever u play it but... u give up on hd audio since the hdmi is not going into avr. you can only get core dts/dd with q16->avr via toslink or coaxial.

best to try both and see which setup comes out better for yr eyes n ears.

unless u have lots of 4k video to playbac and don't care much about hd audio, i suspect u will be happier with q16->avr->uhdtv.

nicety,

i failed to get it to work...

can only see 1 channel installed, then message comes out ".... can't play" - in chinese, of course.

i suspect i did something wrong about the diy.js file... but where..?

i created the folder and inserted that file there.
copy folder onto sdcard.
start the apk
got that message.

when i looked into the Diytvlist folder later, i can see 3 more files incl tvlist1, tvlist2...

any tip?

The file is in my Skydrive subfolder "APK Files/Himedia LiveTV/diy.js". Pls don't copy the tvlist1. tvlist2,.., those are obsoleted links. (Sorry, I just removed it to avoid confusing).

ok, got it working.

not sure if it was actually ok the first time as not all selections work, only one of them does.

and i suspect there could be a problem with the old app still there.

so, remove everything, reinstall everything.

got a no. of channels working, so, ok! biggrin.gif


but i must say there is much to improve for this app.

comparing to hdplive, it is not better. hope it gets better with next update.

also, i tried it with the free vpn i still have working - yes, it helps.

some channels come out hd, good! thumbup.gif

"unifi china quota finished disease" has returned.

it recurs every 2 months - sep 2014, nov 2104 and now, jan 2015.

the last 2 times, it took about 2 weeks for the disease to be cured.

but can expect it to return in mar, may, july.... mad.gif

Thank you AVFAN for the prompt updates. Just checked with some customers, most of the Unify has resumed as normal now.

Dear customers,

To benchmark your streaming speed to China, you could use MangoTV Service menu as below screen.

The advantages of using Android is the multi lingua support, you choose the language you want same as your Android smart phone. No worry about the language. If you do not like the default Himedia launcher you can switch to 3rd party launcher.

Becos nicety is using streamyx, not affected.

Unifi has this bad problem of a bimonthly period... China broad bandwidth used up, wait for next cylcle, maybe 1-2 weeks. Happened in sep 2014, nov 2014, and now jan/feb 2015. It will come again.

It has been like that for a week now. Certain times of the day or night, still can get a bit. Other times, nothing.

I just tried. My unifi10 showed 400kbps (=50KBps) on MG. Ethernet or wifi, can't watch anything. Normally, it will go to >5000kbps (>625KBps or >0.625MBps). Non-China sites all ok.

Only way is to use vpn, gotta pay....

Bbts is working.

What u experienced is common. U can check and read about it in the kodi/XBMC thread in entertainment section. Also widely reported in Kodi forum, happened to all kinds of devices.

I have it working but I can't explain it. I had been using bbts since Kodi helix beta2. Helix had been changing to beta 2, 3,4,5 then rc1,2,3.... And finally now official helix. Each time I upgraded, it behaved weird. Some updates, BBTS work, others, it doesn't. I am now on helix official, it works. May lose it at next update. Safe to say those numerous updates in a short period of time wasn't good for bbts, failed to keep up sometimes, I suppose.

If u happen to keep a copy of the org.xbmc.kodi or just .kodi folder when bbts was working, can reinstall that to try.

something to share...

thanks to bro whitelighter, posted in another thread, sure he will not mind sharing here:
http://www.mobdro.com/

this is a simple yet powerful apk.

hundreds of live tv stations from many countries - sports, news, music, movies, tv shows, etc.

almost all sd, a bit off color and some with wrong aspect ratios. but... just about all of them work, stable.

if looking for skypsorts 1-5 and the like, they are all there.
