interesting product... himedia ATV dongle S1.

good for those with non-androidtv 4kHDR tv's.

reviews say it has all the certification to do netflix 4khdr.

hisilicon Hi3798MV200 soc; 1(2)/8gb; android8(->9); will play bdmv, iso, etc.

on sale to dealers/wholesalers.... price $20-50?

if himedia's going ATV, a chance next box may come with ATV too..?

May I know, does native media player in HiMedia q10 pro can output all available audio such as Dolby Atmos, DTS X?
*
my eqpt can't do those but i am quite sure q10pro can pass thru dtsx and atmos - if your AVR&speakers have the capabilities.

a fren of mine says fine with dtsx; i think at least one person here has used it for atmos; futeko forum users positive for both audio.

hello, I just got a used Q10 Pro.
The offline content playback quality is good.

it is with FW 2.0.9, good to update it?
*
u can update to the latest 2.1.0... minor bug fixes.

if new to this box, check if u have "bluray menu" apk installed and activated.

this app is necessary to get into full bluray menu mode.

i plan to factory reset it, by then i will assume all user installed apps will be deleted.
hence, any good place to get all essential apk for Q10 pro?
*
factory reset is good to wipe away unwanted things.

that bluray app... if it is installed, it will remain.

if it was not, then u need to install.... but check first.

u can find updates, firmwares at futeko.com.

Q10 pro can output Atmos and DTS X as required.

bro, like to check with u something about audio with new AVR's... i think u hv it.

i read somewhere that this DTS Neural X is a new remixing option like THX, PLII but better.

i.e. if the audio track is not so good like aac2.0, dolby 5.1, dts neural x will be able to remix it very well.

how good is it compared to older remixes settings?

Another question on audio for those who connect the box to TV via HDMI and to stereo amp via RCA.
Intend to use media player to play music thru external HD.
However i only hv music coming thru TV and not to the amp.
What do i  hv to change for music to come thru amp only (ie zero.volume on TV)?

Thanks in advance!
*
It should work if u connect the red and white rca from box to amp.

This is stereo analogue, independent of the hdmi and spdif coaxial or toslink outputs.

Rca audio output volume is fixed, u control with your amp.

Alternative.... if yr amp has spdif input, use them, u get digital audio, better.

I think it really depends on the source. It might be marginally better than the older options but ur mileage can vary. Dolby's new matrixing option for Dolby Surround Upmixer is also pretty good. Some work better with DTS Neural X some work better with Dolby Surround Upmixer.

ok, good to know, thanks.

may be shopping for a new AVR next year! biggrin.gif

Old school amp...no spdif. ...😁. Might consider RPI + DAC with spdif for low cost solution.

Unplugged and redid again! The music is coming thru the amp! Thks

However the tv has to be on n the music will play from tv as well (btw sharp 6800 thks to yr recommendation).

Hv to mute tv coz if lower volume then overall volume reduced. Nd tv on for song selection purposes.

The good news is i believe the sound quality thru Q10 to amp is much better than playing fromΒ  laptop to amp! Any idea if thr Q10 had a build in DAC?

Many thks again for guidance!
*
tv has to be on... maybe not.

next time u try, play Q10pro, turn off tv, give it a few seconds.

the audio should return as it is still playing, audio out from rca.

unless the tv CEC is messing with it - which u can try changing the settings in the TV.


don't really know the inside but yes, himedia native player has always been excellent becos they were initially a media player co.

even my 8 yr old Q5ii is able to do BDMV, DTSHDMA, DDtrueHD delivering great video and audio with doing local playback.

many new boxes can't even do DTS!

For q10pro, u can surely tell even astrgo video comes out better with the box than using app in the sharp androidtv.

[You are right bro! Turn off on tv n the.volume can be controlled by mouse or amp separately! Thks AVFan as always!

Going to dissappear into music nirvana and dream of getting a used q10P just for music....😁😁😁
*
u r welcome.

Now u see why pay a bit more for this box.

When u get a full home theater, u can have video + audio nirvana with concerts in 4khdr bdmv + lossless hd audio... something i do quite a lot! biggrin.gif

have u to change cable or to change to a different port?
For my case i had tried both but still faint.. i suspect my NIC failed. So no lan for me.. only Wifi..  sweat.gif

QUOTE(nagasakti70 @ Nov 21 2018, 04:39 PM)
since bought I only use via wifi
but on last sunday, my home unifi wifi got prob slow and intermittent
but my unifi tv running smoothly using lan
so I switch the lan cable from unifi tvbox into q10
unfortunately q10 setting lan connection failed...
just wondering if any special setting needed
*
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. biggrin.gif
