I saw this

Video Format : TS、MKV、FLV、MOV、AVI、MP4、BDISO

Means this box only can play this format of video?

Bro, cannot list all the format, these are the common file format in the market. Just tell me which format you have, I will answer you accordingly.

Because I sw ur Q5 listed much more format than this H8. Eg: rmvb.
Thanks
*
No worry bro, RMVB is generic media format it is supported. I will add RMVB in the thread as per your feedback. Both Q series and H series are using the same Himedia media player app, the differentiation of Himedia player app is support ISO, BDISO, BDMV container which other brand does not support.

Does this H8 support video up-scaling?

Thanks.
*
I am not sure what you mean "support up scaling", but if you have 720p movies play in 1080p TV there is no problem at all.

Google search yields ..

A video scaler is a system which converts video signals from one display resolution to another; typically, scalers are used to convert a signal from a lower resolution (such as 480p standard definition) to a higher resolution (such as 1080i high definition), a process known as "upconversion" or "upscaling" (by contrast, converting from high to low resolution is known as "downconversion" or "downscaling").

Upscaling is a common feature in BR player.

I googled "Himedia" with "upscaling" and cannot find the link. Not supported?
*
Upscaling only applicable for low end GPU where the graphic processor native resolution is low then use the software interpolation to achieve higher resolution. For example some GPU native resolution is 720p, upscale to 1080p.

Himedia is using TV Box chipset Rockchipo RK3368 which is native 4K*2K H264/H265 real-time video decoder and do not require up-scaling anymore.

Hi, I'm interested in getting a media player. Very new to this and hope you can help me with the following.

1. How is this different than Mi Box?
2. Will it have access to thousands of channels? (wishful thinking)
3. Need to subscribe to services like IPTV?
4. Will it run on  a 5mbps unifi connection?
5. Possible to watch netflix?
6. What's your website? I can't find it on the main page.

tq

Thank you for inquiry.

1). If you compare the spec of Himedia and Mibox, the spec obviously tell you the different. Himedia is traditional media player manufacturer, Himedia box is combination android player and media player which support wide range of audio and video codec that typical Android player do not have.

2). No, there is no thousands of channels, but hundreds of channels world wide from different language. To be noted free service does not have service guarannty. The service could stop any times.

3). If you would like certain level of guaranty, you need r subscribe to iptv service.

4). Online streaming require 4Mbps and above. To be noted that your unify bandwidth is best effort within Malaysia, when you stream from oversea, it does not guaranteed you have 5Mbps.

5). Netflix is paid service, if you have Netflix account and VPN account then you can watch Netflix.

6). We would prefer to interact with customer via Lowyat forum instead of static web site. http://www.penangapps.com/Common/Ads.aspx?AdsID=174

A quick update here.

Got my H8 yesterday (Fri) even though Nicety sent it on Monday. I am renaming Pos Laju to Pos Sangat-Tak-Laju! Their web tracking update is quite useless, not updated on time and some parts missing. I think it is the working mentality there causing the delay. Next time, use normal courier though it may be a few dollars more expensive.

Have watched 2 movies now using H8. Though I am still on streamyx 2 Mb, I buffer it up and then watch them. Plan to switch over to Unifi. Managed to watch Harry Potter (the last episode) with my wife, her favourite movie. Picture and sound qualities are good, better than the torrent version (usually cam version). So, I have brought a cinema to my house! Ha.

The TV box user interface needs some getting use to.

AA
Frustrating with the mouse control on the H8 remote. Like to have feedback from other users on how they find the Air Mouse, wireless mouse etc. Difficulty in getting it to do what you want can take the enjoyment out in watching otherwise an entertaining movie. So like to sort this one out.

BB
There are many settings in Kodi. You select this or that. For some, I do not know what it will do if I selected A etc. Is there a manual describing all these options? Then I can optimise the settings for my use.

CC
Like to know whether it is ok to set up both cabling:
1. HDMI from H8 to TV
2. RCA cables from H8 to AVR, AVR to TV

Switch on AVR when I am watching action movies or concerts. Normal viewing will be from H8 to TV.

DD
Any one here tried the Beast or SpinzTV build on your H8? Your feedback - good and bad?

Many thanks.
P/S For BB, found some infor from http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Confluence/Settings

PP/S For AA, try this  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx180ZvGdII
*
Quick help for AA is plug in the PC mouse either wire or wireless, the mouse will improve the navigation.

Noted the Kodi in my H8 is version 14. Can I install Kodi V15 without loosing the current setup?

As simple as going to kodi site and click on the latest version?

Thanks.

Yes, you can. But to be noted that some addons not compatible with 15 which you need to reinstall if not working and you need to add again SuperRepo where the repository differrentiate between Helix and lsengard.

One tip for new TV box beginner.

You select a movie, it comes up with many links. You try one and see if it works. Try, try till you get one working.

Initially that is OK but after a while, it becomes annoying. Ha.

Found out this tip last night.

In Genesis,  go to TOOLS, Playback and set it to AUTOPLAY. Activate the other selections in the PLAYBACK page anyway (don't really know what they are for).

With this setup, the next time you select a movie, it will try to open the first link. If it is not successful, then it will the next and so on.

Now you may be saying what if the order in the link list is not what you want? You can configure which order list. Cannot remember the page name now. Just look for "priority" selections.

This really makes watching movies a lot easier instead of trying this and that!

The above is for GENESIS. I think other software can do the same. Just check it out.

By the way, what is the name of the software for TV shows written by the team for GENESIS? Genesis is good. So I think that TV show should also be good.

Thanks.
*
Thanks a lot for sharing the good piece of info. This really help a lot to reduce the effort to search video sources.

Below are the list of the addons created by Genesis Author, not sure the TV shows your refer is in the list :

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.
