Sifus...

Year end just less than a 45 days.

May I know, will there be a new release for Q10 pro? If not, might get its one next month(Dec). Waiting for online promo again.

Reguards

i had asked the same question seems tak de..

there is no new model coming soon; only the himedia ATV (androidtv) dongle S1 which i posted recently.

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHZL_e...wiz.4YhzeSVPo0s

if u have ethernet connection, use it... it's better.
unifitv lan cable port is port #4 - this is ONLY for unifi tv, cannot use for other purpose.
use port 1, 2, 3 for all other internet connections.

if u fail to connect with ethernet, go to settings, more, ethernet and see what is there.
typical fault is ip address - for TM router, need to set to 192.168.0.1 whereas other routers need to be 192.168.1.1
change accordingly/save, power off, on again, u will get connected.
then u can decide to keep using hdcp or static ip; decide if u want to use auto assigned DNS or some other DNS.
just play with it, u will learn... like i did... long time ago.

no prob

for aesthetic reasons, I can't use optical hahahah

got issue setting up my q10 on NFS to my Synology , had to use DS video app to run
I saw the magic word Atmos
no chance to try full bluray menus yet

thanks bro ..
fyi, I use port 1 actually
btw.. it might be due to i.p as u mentioned..
will try again follow to ur advise

guys, im running ds video on my q10
the movies i see have black bars on the left and right
whats wrong with my setting?

thanks

u gotta explain a bit.

is ds player a player app like vlc or mx?

did u try using the native himedia player, do u get these black bars?

its a 3rd party app by synolofy to read the nas
i couldn't get to use the native media, could not get nfs to work
haizzzz

synology, nfs, ds... i suggest u contact nicety.

i remember reading something problematic like that before.

If one of your intentions to play Netflix HD or 4K, you can do that via the sharp TV you have. But if you are looking at playing from the box, then go for The Shield.

With the Black Friday till 4pm, you could get that for under $700 from Amazon but you need to be hurry

if u have ua6800x, i can surely comment on yr concerns.

like i said many times, tv makers make tv displays and they should. they are not media player or android player makers.
but as the market looks for these features, they incl them but do not usually do that great a job.
so, yes, the tv player for playback is NOT good - esp for those who playback higher grades of video, audio, w/subs, etc.
but it's ok for lower grade, smaller files.
if your requirements are "mkv, mp4, SSA subs, aac, flac, ac3, dts, h264, h265", the tv player can deal with most of these relatively simple types.
but dts will be a problem - u get no audio at all; navigation and subs can be a bit of a pain for you.

many devices or boxes can handle 4k but for netflix, it is best to use the netflix available in the tv.
i have used it for 4k and UHD, it works fine on ua6800x; u won't get improvement if u use another device.
becos the ua6800x like other netflix 4k approved tv's has everything approved and tested for netflix 4k.

H8 is >3 years old... it can do 4k and the types u mentioned... but can't do the rest... HDR, 10 bit, dtsx, atmos...
so, if u hv the budget, do go for a new box to get more for your new TV and home theater if u hv one.
as for current Q10pro, it has great video playback and audio handling capabilities.
Q10pro is probably among the top choices if u do local playback a lot since it handles almost all formats and types with ease.
i can also tell u for apps that u can install in both q10pro and ua6800x, the video output quality from q10pro is ALWAYS superior.

himedia S1 new device... while i see good potential in it, it is a dongle companion to the tv, more for online streaming rather than playback.
i wouldn't recommend it to you as yet since it is so new and there is very little info about it.

i have never used a shield, so i can't comment on that part - this u gotta read/ask in shield thread.
it is a highly talked about device and cost the most, but u should check if it is really the "best" box for what you r going to use it for.
google and read too... pay attention to comments from those who have actually used the devices concerned and can compare with rich user experience.

the tv is 4khdr... so u can get netlfix, youtube 4k using these apps of the tv.

using a box, if going thru AVR, the AVR has be 4k in order to pass thru to TV, whether netflix, youtube or local files playback.

so, if u r limited by the AVR, either u connect box direct to TV for 4k material and give up HD audio or connect box to AVR and give up 4k video.


a common misleading perception is all android devices are the same, whether android TV, cheap box or costly box.

that is correct for the most basic user who dun really care much about video and audio quality, i.e. very happy with quality found in phone or tablet.

for the enthusiast, u will go for good stuff in every component of the chain:

source->player->avr->tv.

the weakest link determines the final output in video quality for yr eyes and audio quality for yr ears.
