Hi nicety,
I'm interested with one - could you pm a suitable time to cod? Thanks

Many thanks for the link.

One thing I don't like with Kodi in general is the vague infor they use, expecting everyone to understand/know by just 1 word or sentence (though their programs may be very good).

They don't describe what each add-on can do.

Will try some later.

Cheerio.

Most of addons are developed by freelance developer without commercial income and mostly individual effort. Therefore most of the explanation are lacking due to limited resources. Since this is free stuff, some effort is required to explore and search to understand the addons.

Continuation on what I said earlier about selecting your preferred source/host list in Genesis.

Found one very good link for guitar lessons (beginner and advanced). Install UltimateGuitar in the Video add-on.

Played a movie from my Hdisk using pre-installed Media Center in H8.

Surprised that it does not have STOP, FORWARD buttons. Only PLAY, PAUSE, SKIP CHAPTERS buttons.

Very limiting when compared with PC's VLC etc.

Maybe I have not explored enough.

Need to install and use other media playing software?

Thanks.

bro ordered another one from you. do check pm.

again, great seller.
thanks

Thanks for sharing the info bro, highly appreciated that.

Regarding the Forward and Backforward question, most of the player has removed the forward and backward button, I believe there is reasons for that. If you use other 3rd party player, you might not able to enjoy the build in hardware codec.

Thank you bro, will dispatch tomorrow.

我进钱了 请查收

Thank you, will dispatch by tomorrow.

Hi, I am considering either a Himedia TV Box, (can be H8 or older model) vs Xiaomi "enhanced" Mibox 3. Seen these Lowyat forums have many compliments on you about good service, sharing of knowledge. Hope to get your advice to make up mind.
1. What 30+ preinstalled apps and stream you provide? Including HiTV, cloudtv etc (see mango NO already)?
2. Are they going to work in Malaysia even without subscribing paid version of IPTV and VPN?
3. HiTV developed by Himedia supported by 6 main China stream sources but all have geoblock. HiTV or other apks/stream apps you pre-installed can really watch good quality HK/Taiwan/China/Korea movies/drama and western movies? These main China stream sources usually not working, either no access link or throated speed. Tried rounds of free VPN and switching, DNS as solution taught on website, all are not really works well. May be I have not explored enough but you all are expert, able to pre-configure before selling.
4. I am already an user of Kodi with addons like azdrama, icefilm etc., western apks like Showbox, MovieHD, Popcorn time etc. on tablet but facing above restriction. Just wish to add above requirement on a new tvbox with more capabality.
5. Above streaming requirement from China sources seems solvable by "enhanced" Mibox3. Only the hardware spec and features not as strong as Himedia products. I will select Himedia product if it can do what "enhanced" Mibox3 can do.

Thanks!

u tried hitv on yr mibox?

as far as i know, hitv only works on himedia devices, does not work on other androids.

i hv used hitv for >2 yrs now on q5ii and q16, very happy.

no need vpn.

of the 6 streams, 3 are reliable, the rest much less so.

there are 2 which are usually good, can get hd or "superhd" quality most of the time.

should be same with h8.

Thank you for inquiry.

1). Beside HiTV, CloudTV, there are Kodi, Showbox, PopcornTime and more. Sorry bro, could not disclose here publicly, otherwise it will be throttled by local ISP. The 30++ apps included tools such as backup and etc. If include Chinese apps, there are more 50++ apps in the repository. Anything you have in mind just tell us, we could install for you.
2). Those famous Chinese apps such as YouKu, Qiyi, Tuduo has Geo restriction, but there are many 3rd party Chinese streaming apps that work as relay agent to relay the movies outside China, no VPN required.
3). I do not want to discuss HiTV openly here, we do not do any tricks in the HiTV. Free stuff need some effort, the apps are come and go, for example PPS and QVOD are very good apps, unfortunately it were killed. However, when one app is killed, new apps will born again. As well as you follow the thread closely, you will get the new apps.
4). Kodi are none commercial developed platform, I did not see much Geo restriction in Kodi. Maybe you use the wrong Addons, read more about Kodi in the below thread. Similarly. Kodi addons are come and go, switch your addons when necessary.
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry77021428
5). Sorry bro, Himedia do not copy Mibox 3 as the hardware manufacturer should focus on the box and not the content. Media content might attract buyer for short term. In long terms, the hardware manufacturer will stop those illegal content service. As mentioned in point#2, there are many developer already done that which relay the content from the main China stream sources. Similarly Genesis in Kodi also relay the movies from the major streaming source from US and Europe.

Sorry, I did not mean that. I understand hitv is exclusive for Himedia only.
Thanks for your sharing of satisfaction about using hitv on Himedia products.

Thanks. Please refer my PM.

Thanks for the infor on HiTV. Have not explored it yet. Sounds promising!

bro kindly pm me the set to deliver to subang jaya

Thank you bro, just ok to you.

Find MOVIEHD (pre-installed in H8) good, fast and almost 100% success in streaming.

However, I cannot pause, fast forward, view how long is the movie etc. Tried many buttons on the remote.

Possible to preset these in MOVIEHD?

Or I have to live with the current defaults?

Thanks.

MoviesHD player is mouse operate app, plug in your PC mouse, left click you see Pause and fast forward.

Additional tips: when you choose the movies to play, don't click play but click "custom" then it will prompt for player, you can choose Kodi or MX player pro or other player. Choose kodi player in order to utilize Kodi features such as subtitle and audio offset.
