I got myself a replacement adapter, and el cheapo remote to On/off the unit

Looks like this Q10 pro refuse to die

My friend come one day and help me setup Kodi, he said the player Kodi smooth like butter, is it using 4Gb, I said nolah, 2gb only.

Q10pro is a marvelous box.

At 7-8 years old, it is still v good, only thing it can't do compared to newest boxes is Dolby Vision.

Just a pity they stopped making new boxes.

and yes, keep spare adaptors if u hv - they are interchangeable between Himedia models.

Hi all, just to share my experience too, bought Q10PRO on July 2023 as I find my Minix U1 is laggy and not able to playback 4k media properly.

Fast moving to today, as I just upgrade to proper soundbar, to my surprise Q10PRO is able to output all the latest sound format, ATMOS and DTS-X. Given that I could get YouTube and himedia movie player, it fits most of needs except Netflix.

Just find out that I got missing wrapper for kodi, may i know if this is missing in version 2.1.4? Or I have to sideload it?

Himedia has a wonderful proprietory video player, much better than most other boxes, can do full BDMV menus.

this box has DTX, atmos HDR10 local playback capability right from the beginning.

the only thing it cant handle is Dolby Vision.

wrapper... yes, if i remember correctly, u hv to sideload the script separately after 2.1.4 update.

but i can't be sure since i dun use it at all, prefer straight up with native player.



side comment.... since himedia has no new player after Q10pro, i had bought a zidoo Z10pro >1yr ago as a 2nd unit.

Z10pro is similar to Q10pro but can do DV and all the rest with a powerful native player.

i m happy with both boxes, both working v well.

Himedia is nice. But their website is hopeless and therefore if you own an old model, you cannot download new firmware to upgrade. Have to keep buying newer model after a few years if you want new features.

there must hv been a change in ownership or management as they dun make the same products anymore.

they used to make great media players with hisilicon chipsets and generic android OS, regular firmware updates.

for some years now, no more... they only make AndroidTV OS devices using Amlogic chipsets.

uninteresting for me, can forget this brand.
