Hi,

I recently hoot a Himedia Q5 Plus from taobao : https://m.tb.cn/h.eGkhtNW?sm=73b8ff

Then, I realize there is different between domestic China version and international version.

I believe this Q5 Plus is same as the Q5 Pro.


Problem is I understand from FUTEKO forum that we cannot install Q5 Pro firmware on China domestic version of Q5.


Actually, what I want to achieve from this machine is ability to play 4K with Dobly Atmos TrueHD 7.1 passthrough
to my Samsung Q90R soundbar.

I know this is possible by installing Kodi and with the wrapper script.


1. Anyone know if this is possible out of the box for the China domestic Q5 Plus ?

2. If not, are there steps which you can point me to so as to achieve above ?

3. Any steps to install the wrapper and Kodi on the China domestic Q5 Plus ?


Thanks in advance for all the help!

they are diff, can't use same firmware.

someone asked similar question, post #537 onwards:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4629018/+520

this kodi+wrapper is not magical, not the best way to test if ddtruehd/atmos will work.
try it with native player first.
int'l model q5pro or q10pro will do dd,dd+,ddtruehd, atmos, dts, dtshdma, dtsx.
then again, sound bars are tricky... u gotta be sure of the connections and settings.

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

Yeah, I saw that discussions but not much conclusions, so I thought again to see if anyone bought same thing recently.

Guess I will just have to try first when it arrive.
