Talking about Eagles DVD, I transferred some of the my old DVD concerts to my thumb drive to do some testing on the Zidoo Home Theatre 2.0 poster etc.

It automatically scanned from the internet and got the following covers and info very accurately , although they are very old titles. For now the DVDs are mistakenly tagged as BD though lol 😄

I already got the HD DVD eagles farewell tour concert, so the Hell Freezes Over DVD is relegated  😊

Poster wall with Large icons and Medium icons .

Ok, sorry this is my last Zidoo post in Himedia thread 🙏

As AVFAN said, try movie bar in your app if you have it. If it scans the wrong info you can use the menu options to add/rescan manually or hide unwanted files from view.

Could a NAS-like unit be plugged in direct into Q10pro? Or do we need a pc for that?

Must be connected to internet for search. Specify which source (specific hard disk/USB drive etc. or all) to scan. Must contain recognised media files extensions. Try not to include unknown media files in your storage which you know won't have any posters or info available on the internet.

But I must say the moviebar app not very accurate or elegant, and I don't use it. It couldn't find any posters or info on my Terminator 3 (x265) mkv . Did a manual search and the best it could do was match it with Xbox T3 game cover 😄

if i read correctly, u mean a docking station where u fit in a couple of HDD, connect via LAN to router...?

i hv seen such a device, supposedly will work like a nas.

i think it should work via q10pro media center, just like nas or samba to pc or other connected device used as a server.


such a device, can also plug in direct to player via usb which will obviously work.

I am not entirely sure what device u meant.

Post a picture... then others can comment.

I think it can becos i have a simple docking station, just usb, works fine, rm120.

That device i saw, and i think it is what u meant, costs rm500 or so.

Something like this...

can we use the usb even though there could be more than 1 hdd inside?

Or do we need to go through samba or LAN...(Never tried before)

that is a device more for doing fast backups but will work as an ordinary sata HDD enclosure or docking station.

u can go to IT stores, pick one of a dozen models, rm100-rm300.

those than can take 2.5" sata is very useful - if your portable HDD dies, remove the casing and slot it in.

becos it's usually the sata bridge card that kaputs, not the drive itself.

I wrote about this a few months ago, see post #3367.

Yes, I saw and read your earlier posts and was about to buy those RM100-300 until i chance upon these...

I'm not into RAIDs though...just multiple HDD and kept in a fan ventilated and more nice arrangement setup.

Back to my original question, would these be recognized by Himedia Q10pro (without the need of a PC or LAN)?

Lol, these multiple docking bays were already available for use with media players around 9-10years ago when I first bought my AC Ryan media player.☺️

Hi Sifus, I got an old HIMEDIA Q5II which is still functioning. I would like to seek advice how can i upgrade it as it will be a bit waste to just leave it there since it is still functioning.
*
since nobody answered u there, let me comment here in a more appropriate thread.


himedia q5ii is a well made android box, despite it being 6-7 years old.

if u can tell me what firmware it is on and whether it is an emmc or non-emmc unit, i can say a bit more.

in short, what it can do, like the current q10pro/q5pro:

.. popular apps like youtube, spotify, terrarium, mobdro, tvplus2.0, icdrama rss player, popular "china" vod apps, "ahem" iptv apps.
.. playback of 1080p incl bdmv, dd, dd+, dts, dsthdma; may not do ddtruehd.
.. kodi 16 jarvis.
.. wifi 2.4ghz 50ft.

what it cannot do:

.. hevc (h265), 10bit, 4k, HDR videos.
.. astrogo, unifi playtv.
.. kodi krypton 17.6
.. wifi 5ghz.

these, u need the current Q models.

do not junk q5ii unless u have gone 4k, hdr and dtsx/ddatmos!

this model is an emmc model, a better one than the earlier nand one, i.e. faster.

however, the storage of 8gb... less opsys, partitioning, etc... not that much available for use.

i would advise u to stick to simple apps and not install large complex ones like kodi or torrent based ones like popcorntime.

if u install too many or big ones, the box will get sluggish, even hang.

what i wrote in previous post is based on this box which i have one too.

i am using it mainly for playback (max 1080p) and a couple of apps.

last thing - u did not mention the firmware version - u can see it at the same page u found the rest of the info... "HMD 1.0.9...."

if it is not the last one 1.0.9, best to update.

but will be difficult to find it now - this model is not supported since 2014.
