Available na yan bro.
As per toys4geeks' thread in the Marketplace, the Q5 is 6,500 pesos.
He ships and delivers as well.

Bro, I tested it with an external 4TB unit that I have and it worked flawlessly using one of the USB connectors on the side.

This baby rocks!

Can you point me to the right link to get any latest firmware updates?

Q10 1 unit with me, evaluating it pa.

Airplay will send the display to the Q5/Q10 if/when app supports it. video playback and picture browsing I've tested, have not seen other apps prompting the airplay capable icon (i.e. games ba?, those would have been cool for mine craft )

This is still my fave NMT player right now... i've put all my other ones in their boxes and likely to sell them off.

The only thing I needed to fix is if there is a way to make this do USB port replication. When I connect the Mediasonic 8bay drive enclosure, it only recognizes the first hard drive unfortunatel which is a 3Tb unit.

It can however detect all the 2 other external drives simultaneously connected to it: 1 Hitachi 4Tb external drive and another WD 2Tb drive without problems together with the Mediasonic.

Same issue with my Mediasonic 8-bay and 4-bay, Have you tried with a dual dock? I see no technical reason not to be able to see the drives, except the firmware.

Hi kamusta yung xbmc? Does it work?

comecum · « **Reply #46 on:** Mar 16, 2013 at 06:20 AM »

just got myself a month used Q5. Napansin ko lang is mainit yung unit after 1 movie, kaya never place the drive sa top ng player.

Paano pala i-browse yung movies ko from the external drive dun sa "Movies" icon instead sa "File Manager"?

nbc · « **Reply #47 on:** Mar 16, 2013 at 02:41 PM »

Waiting for the Usb port replication because all my drives are in Mediasonic 4 bay boxes.

Sayang kung isa lang ang mare - recognize.

Q5 is positioned as a MKV player, the R6S has more capabilities handling ISO and 3D, i dont see those options in Q5.

Q5 currently has a limitation of recognizing the 1st disk only of a multi-bay drive. I tried my dual disk USB 2.0 and dual disk 3.0 of garfield, it will only see and mount the 1st disk. I raised this with Q5 and they say its not supported, but I see no technical reason why it cannot do it, but perhaps there's a limitation in indexing multi-bay drive.

I'm planning to replace my popcorn a200 soon. Question with google play, will it install netflix? Planning to use dns service para magwork, kids kasi nowadays mabilis magsawa ng shows kaya netflix sa kanila tapos mkvs para sa mga magandang movies. Thanks!

Up natin.

Just bought Mizuu from googleplay yesterday for the Q10 unit:
ANG Galing!

You can even edit the cover, poster, title and reidentify the movie.

Switch between movies and TV shows. kahit nagkalat pa ang HD contents mo across disks.

TV shows all episodes detected properly.

Cast per movie/TV is so cool, and you can dig down to the cast member's biography.

If you have a himedia q5 its worth your 150 pesos !

i suggest you change the default display settings so that it will scroll through the movies it has discovered ala screen saver, 5 seconds of the image + title. if you have a mouse, click the desktop and it takes you to the overview of the movie, You can check the cast list later,

it also has a collection filter so that you can see your trilogies, in one cover art, then drill down to the collection titles (i.e. Iron man 1,2, 3)

Mizuu really fantastic for your Q5/Q10!
