Ayos, pag free ka PM mo ko, daanan mo sa house. Use my Q10 muna(only 1 fresh from factory), i have more Q5s so excited ako.
BD Full menu wala din(not sure if their direction is to support it), simple meron per specs but have not tried. nilaro ko yung Google play (remember 1186 you need the apk from the respective NMT manufacturer not from google play directly).

Oo, panalo yung box, tuwang tuwa mga anak ko kasi puro ipad/itouch/iphone hand me downs sila :)
Nagulat ako sa speed, kasi I've used other similar chip, not as responsive.
kakatuwa pa yung forward nya may acceleration(longer you press the more skips it does, and pag bitaw playback agad!).

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.

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 ) :)
Post by: jackryan on Mar 10, 2013 at 11:38 AM
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.

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.

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.

sir jim,
lahat ba ng capability ng R6S magawa ng Q5? if so, i will sell my R6S and get a Q5.
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.

Just bought Mizuu from googleplay (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miz.mizuu&hl=en) 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.

(https://lh5.ggpht.com/Kvhla-eKounWlSacnEi1ci9Tkf4HM_i22QeiBsSoj0ilBByR6BBQtTH3s95TeVvcxw=h900-rw)
TV shows all episodes detected properly.

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

thanks for the tip - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miz.mizuu&hl=en
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!

@toys4geeks THANK YOU for the heads-up. Enjoying the Q10-IV a lot for movies.Maganda na rin yung kasamang interface ng Q10 IV.
The nuisance lang sa old Q10 is if you have different device path for multi usb your mizuu links will fail. It's a mizuu problem and not the Q10 and what order it discovers the usb devices(I had 3 USB devices ). I solved it by migrating to a raid on JBOD.
Also the old Q10 does not support reconnecting a multiport USB hub or the 4 bay 8 bay mediasonic (it will only see the 1st drive)
Mizuu in you android will let you do a multi install (smart phone, tablet, android media players) for 1 Google play account

Thank you bro ;)
Here's my non-pro initial impressions...
More of a "screenshot" review ^-^
Build Quality is solid, comparable to the Dune media player I owned before.
The remote is an improvement compared with other media players with same price point.
Android User Interface is very fluid and smooth which I really liked.
Tested the 4K playback:
*Smooth/flawless playback
*No Lag and Shutter
*Picture quality is very good (8.5/10)
*Video file is the LG 4K demo material

OVERALL I'm really impressed with the performance of this media player.
Solidly built and very smooth UI.
Only downside I'm seeing right now is the inability to bitstream native ATMOS audio format.
I highly recommend this and I'm actually considering getting one for myself ;) ;D

I prefer the SQ of optical connection to AVR than HDMI...
Only con Im really seeing right now is the inability to bitstream ATMOS track.

I don't think there's any Android box that supports 23.976p.

Q10 4K3D. 26-MAY-2015. FIRMWARE HMD-1.0.9 FUTEKO-EN. Changelog:
1. Pre-installed Skype, Facebook, Youtube, Netflix, Kodi.
2. Fixed Kodi and Chrome cannot update.
3. Miracast.
4. One click to enter APPs on the main UI.
5. Supports 23.976fps.
Is it true that Himedia Q plays 24p correctly but not 23.976p?
I don't think there's any Android box that supports 23.976p.
Post by: barrister on Jun 22, 2015 at 10:54 PM
But I don't trust the published specs. Better if a user sees it for himself.
Even if a player does not render 23.976p correctly, it will still play a 23.976p file --- just not correctly. There will be one frame skipped every 41.67 secs.
Most people don't notice it anyway, so it would not be a big deal to most users.
I remember showing sir Nelson how my WDTV player cannot render true 24p correctly (it renders 23.976p correctly). I called his attention every time one frame skipped. But he never saw a single frame skip.

Aside from having an internal hdd bay in Q10, whats significant difference does a Q5 with Q10? Does Q5 had the same firmware with Q10? Are all Q5 version 4 the same? Does european version had the advantage of being "firmware upgradeble"?

1) Q5 External HDD / Q10 Interal HDD.
- although the Q10 runs even without an internal HDD. USB HDD is playable even without Internal HDD.
2) Q10 you can operate even without a remove control because of the front keypad. Q5 you need the remote.
3) QC and Q10 have the DIFFERENT Firmware but same functionality.
I only have the European version and do not have experience with the Chinese version.
Having several NMTs at home, I can say the picture quality of the Himedia Q10/Q5 is really stunning.
Question lang mga sir:

- Q5 Quad and Q5-I looks the same.
2) Verify if it is EURO version, not chinese version.
- Chinese version does not have firmware support.
That is an excellent price is you can get a Euro version at HK$599.00
Saw the Q5 being sold here in Wan Chai for HK$599 (roughly P3,650). Is that a good price and would it be worth it?

Wow really, 25% is a big improvement, honestly i didnt get a chance to use that thoroughly on my previous dac. Can you elaborate the inprovements you've noticed on both audio and video?
Post by: CoolTOYZPH on Feb 10, 2016 at 02:34 PM
On Movies the image has less grain and the color more vivid.
I was also very surprised with the result.
I switched the stock wallwart with the JojoD PSU three times just to check, and indeed it is the PSU that is producing the good results.
One thing I learned is that if you check the stock PSU with a tester, the Voltage fluctuates from 12 to 12.5V.
On the JojoD PSU the voltage is firm at 12V.

gents, In laymans terms, anong difference ng Q1 vs Q8 when it comes to picture / Audio quality?
Will the Q8 be better at playing larger files > 10 gig vs the Q1 ?
This is the difference between both models:
HiMedia Q1 – Quadcore, 1 gig of RAM, 8 Gig of Flash, android 4.4 streaming set top box
HiMedia Q8 – Quadcore, 2 gig of RAM, 8 Gig of Flash, Android 4.4 streaming set top box –
Basically the Q8 has twice as much ram and has optical output, but the Q1 only has HDMI.
Both can run KODI and play high definition and 4K in 7.1 channels.

Here are the things I setup:
1.) Futeko 1.0.9 firmware -> this allowed me to use Kodi 15.2 with working HD Passthrough for both DTSHDMA and Dolby TrueHD (finally, after years without it on my Sigma based device)
2.) Google US account -> The only way I was able to install Hulu. Unfortunately, the apk version can be installed, but it did not allow streaming playback. It always resulted in playback error. After installing the VPN Hotspot app, I was able to access the US Play Store and use my US Google account. I was then able to download and install the US Hulu app and I have it functional. I was looking for the same Hulu Plus Android TV app but it wouldn't appear in my search. Btw, I also have Getflix setup which allows me to access Hulu library.
3.) Netflix and iFlix were installed through the default Philippine Playstore. But since I had Getflix setup in my home network, I was able to access the US Netflix database as well.
I was able to enjoy the H8 during the weekend and I really appreciate the improvement in PQ and SQ over my previous NMT. The subtitles are much better as well with this device, font-wise and lay-out wise. And lastly, I like how fast it responds to the remote. Almost no noticeable delay/lag.
I'm still unable to let go of my AppleTV3 though since I feel that Hulu and Netflix are clearer over that device. And the menus and options are easily accessible there or they are much better organized.
If any of you guys have any tips to improve how I did things hope you could share here too. Thanks and happy watching!
**Btw, I did the install with the full reset. I tried the upgrade install previously but I noticed that Kodi was not installed correctly and HD Passthrough did not function properly because of this.

sir sorry rephrase ko lang, is there a way to get subtitles from online on the fly while you're watching a movie that doesn't have embedded subtitles or available subtitles on its folder?Yes
You have to pick a service for your subtitle and enable it I use opensubtitle.org
Then during playback of the movie while running on jarvis I hit the menu and move to subtitle and it will prompt to download . I'll do a short video step by step later when I get around it
OoT : My eldest sister is hearing and speech impaired kaya I got into media players .How I wish I can automate this for all folders

You can't rename the device names , but the devices mount to the android file system as a folder. Maybe you can rename the mounting point folder name ? Not sure yet

Or If you want something up working fast. Use the Subscene addon. After they require a login on to opensubtitles site , I just switch to subscene. So far everything is doing fine.

you can create under movies to include
Sda2/movies
Sda2/movie series
Sda2/animation
You just need to deduplicate sda2 with your say 16tb raid as I find common files in my master storage mediasonic vs my 6tb local drive
Also make sure you plug on the same port (so android mounts the device to that same sdxx device as it is in its update library) and also power on the device same way(I leave my 8 x 4-Tb + 16tb raid on the same ports on boot up ng q10 pro)
Note to self:

I used an app before on windows. that does auto scrapping and subtitles for all movies in a directory.
I forgot the name of the app. But I am just saying you do not need to do scrapping and subtitles download inside kodi.
As usual I forgot the name of the app.

meron sir, try mo but the search is not as good under kodi where it prompts you. it just picks up the filename kasi unless you are ready to rename using a bulkrenamer tool.

Sa Mede8er merong way na pagbukas mo ng movie database mo eh may thumbnail or pic yung movie tapos may synopsis and imdb rating pag click mo. Possible din ba to sa Himedia? Wow factor din kasi eh
Meron. I shifted from Mede8er to Himedia Q10 Pro. Sa Kodi then Video you just add the folder/location where your movies are located. You'll be able to select the movie/tv scraper. After that it will start to get the metadata for your movies. Sa home screen ng Kodi "Movies" will show up, pag nag click ka dun you can see the thumbnails and you can just configure the view settings to your liking.
Tried out different skin sa kodi and settled with Amber. Mas maganda pag display ng mga thumbnails niya.
At first nahirapan ako mag setup sa Himedia Q10 Pro kasi daming configurations unlike Mede8er na konti lang ang kakalikutin mo. Once you've set it up naman, you can just sit back and be amazed with it.

Just like the Egreat compatible backlit remote controllers before , you can also program the TV buttons of your Himedia Q5 Pro and Q10 Pro.
| STEPS 1. Hold down the SET button on the Himedia remote until the red LED stays brightly lit. 2. Press the key on the Himedia remote that you want to program (volume up / volume down / AV selector / Power). The red LED should blink steadily (awaiting infrared signal sequence from your TV remote) 3. Hold the original TV remote you want to learn from and press they key you wish himedia to mimic (1cm gap is perfect) and point it at the the IR sensor of the Himedia remote. 4. The Himedia remote red LED should stay on for a second then briefly blink fast. 5. once done, Press SET on Himedia remote to exit learning mode. 6. Test the button you've programmed on the Himedia remote. | (http://www.himediatech.com/images/inside_end.jpg) |

Sometimes using the in-menu "check for latest firmware" option does not actually mean that you have the latest firmware unless you check it yourself online. Some firmware updates cannot be done OTA. You need to manually download it yourself to your desktop computer and load it using a flash drive.

sir try mo muna i-play using the same movie with the internal media player of LG 4k tv
if the same, then try to tweak around with the TV's picture settings.. once it becomes good, then go try back with the HiMedia Q5 Pro..
if internal TV's media player displays it right, then it's the Hi-Media Pro Q5 that needs to be configured... is this thru Kodi you're experiencing?

Yes its through KODI.
Have not tried playing the 4k movies directly sa LG, will try later if kaya iplay, then will compare the difference.

Sirs,
Purchased my Himedia Q10 Pro 2 weeks ago in Greenhills. Just to clarify, our unit is an international version release and not the Chinese version, am I correct?
TIA. ;)
Can't say for certain for your case, but likely if the one who sold it to you ordered it online.
When I ordered my stock I specified all International version kaya futeko.com ang firmware I load.
I think they mentioned the differences ng hw ng local Chinese q10 pro vs international sa futeko.com , kaya futeko fw will brick a china q10 pro. HTH future assistance better dun Lang as Himedia support tips and tricks

When I ordered my stock I specified all International version kaya futeko.com ang firmware I load.
I think they mentioned the differences ng hw ng local Chinese q10 pro vs international sa futeko.com , kaya futeko fw will brick a china q10 pro. HTH future assistance better dun Lang as Himedia support tips and tricks

Thanks.
I think my Q10 PRO is an international release version because storage is at 16 GB compared to the Chinese version of 8 GB.

Sir,If 12v and it says at least 2A or higher should be ok
Is it safe to use skycable digibox power cord to Q10 pro unit? They're both 12V and has same plug size. Or dapat yung para sa himedia lang?
THANKS.

Keep these in mind when you have multiple disk towers.
I have 1 32TB Mediasonic Proraid
And two towers of 4Tb x 8 bay raids attached to my main Himedia q10 pro.
You would think a Sata will be discovered first then the USB devices next.
The trick is to remember which USB disk plugs to what port so Kodi can cleanly update the library with the correct drive paths sda , sdb,sdc
Dealing with changing disks :
If the order of presentation of disk is an issue
Or you want to use multiple disk to be presented as single video source , add the video source per path
Example
/Nmt/sda2/movies
/Nmt/sdb2/movies
:
:
/Nmt/sdf2/movies
Video source : 64TB movies remux
This way when you update library it will read all disk contents on /movies path , and "merge" them under one video source

I just bought a H8 +, pag gamit ko ung KODI app, may delay ung Audio. But if I run the media player or netflix wala namn. I used all audio source na (LPCM, HDMI and SPDIF) pero delay pag Kodi.
Is it because of the ver 17? If I reinstall Kodi, will the preinstalled apps in Kodi be removed?

Nung gamit ko ung local file (Via wired LAN and USB) ko, i tried both DTS and AC3 version files, both may delay. then when i tried streaming via EXODUS, ganun pa din, d ko alam kung ano ang audio track nun. pero i tested Dr strange na 1080.
Isip ko first is baka ung soundbar ko ung may issue, so i dineretso ko sa TV, ganun pa din..

Baka the number of core processors in literature misleads you
Which unit has better video quality? Specifically with playing video files Q5/Q10 have the best image quality of any Android box pero sakin Lang yan ha?
H8 is good, maybe equivalent to Amlogic S812 / MiniX X8-H
Hisilicon chipset in Q5/Q10 is designed specifically for media boxes and is the best, for me.

Hi! What's the advantage of having a 16gb flash memory over 8gb of Q5? In terms of PQ and SQ, is the Q5 at par with Q10? And besides the memory, what else are the differences between the Q5 and Q10 pro? Thank you!
Q5 vs q10
Exact specs but q10 pro has :
Led Display bezel with controls
Top loading for Sata hdd
Coaxial and optical port
Think I posted it also in the marketplace -> FS : Himedia q5 and q10

1. Buy Himedia q5 or q10
2. Unpack and connect q5/q10 to wireless or wired network (I prefer wired)
3. Check update and let unit download online or use a USB fat32 stick
4. Click kodi with you disk plugged (plug USB 3 port)
5. Update library by creating video source that stores multiple paths
/sda2/Iso
/sda2/bdmv
/sda2/remux
/sda2/mkv
Video source name :Toys4geeks.32TB
6. Go to the video source and click menu to set content to movies. Keep in mind at this point ensure each move has name (year) format to assist the movie scraper service
7. update library
8. Backup library to disk

Does this have ubtv? Where you can have the tv channels sa korea, hong kong, etc.? Are all these android players the same in terms of these? I just have to install sa menu?
What tv channels does this himedia have?
Another question is about remux or bd iso. Ano yan? Ive been downloading these big files recently. Does it mean when i go into thiese files meron automatic bd menu? Like play movie, scene selection etc?

I upgraded my Q10 Pro to the latest firmware with Kodi 17 rc, then updated through the Google Play Store to official Kodi version 17.1 and now almost all streams result in choppy/stuttering playback. I tried downgrading back to Kodi 16 and there are hardly any HD streams available since the providers mostly migrated to Kodi 17. :(pm me the screenshots which hd streams list you used @ kodi 17(play store)

It doesn't really matter which one, when hardware acceleration is enabled by default all streams will stutter. Even non-HD streams. Take note I have a 50 mbps fiber connection.

It's a big improvement but still not as smooth as playing a file from my external hard drive using the built in media player. Also in Kodi version 17.1 the buttons of the remote get mixed up. With the Kodi 17.0 Release Candidate okay pa yun remote buttons so I will try to stick with this version muna.

turn on SAMBA service (file share service ) on both units, you should see both in the network. you can later progress to NFS sharing or FTP as SAMBA file transfer service is rather slow between devices

Dre ,
try mo Rename movie file ng isang title as
Passenger (2016).mkv
Then use file manager (not media Player) to open video file
Then hit Menu Then subtitle download , (IT should pickup file name ) Then search subtitle you should See a lot
The alternatibo is to edit the text that auto fills the search box
Travel mode pa

tama yung obserbasyon nya as he has a himedia too in his cabin.
in a nutshell:
kodi has expert mode and some with auto rename options based on folder names, or rename file name based on folder name
which tidies up the folder and file name for subtitle searches , but the flipside is you lose the audio format we find in the native DL
so choose settings wisely

Currently the Official FW has the following issues that annoyed me at first:
- HiMedia Player as Wrapper player in Kodi
- Kodi 16.1 for Android 5.1 and Kodi 17.2 for Android 7 is not the latest version.
- 4K HDR videos have aspect ratio resolution issues (code named : "Lucy" problem in the forums)
- HiMedia Player is so boring
- MX Player Pro can be downloaded but does not appear in apps
- Kodi DVD player cannot pass through HD audio sometimes.
So.. to address all of these I found the following mods:
- MX Player Pro replacing HiMedia Player as default player
- Custom Firmware 2.0.1
Now I have:
- a snappier OS,
- MX player is my default player, but library is controlled through Kodi interface
- correct 4K HDR resolution and HD Audio passthrough
HTH!

would be nice nga sana for renaming the devices or at least show the DISK VOLUME label of each disk .
powering off while on play is risky, so if you are in kodi, i normally quit to the home screen before powering off.
while playing, and i want to power down i stop and go to the homescreen and power off
just to make sure the files are not left open, prior to power down. I dont get those disk checks prompt so far.

Major improvement (for my purposes) on HiMedia default player:
Correct Aspect Ratio already on HDR movies.
HD Audio Passthrough is working
Smoother playback.
Better color output on HDR compared to Kodi.
Major issue experienced:
Kodi will not passthrough HD Audio. Audio will work only via PCM and fixed output setting.
Fire up those updates and enjoy HDR content.
Ganda talaga ng Q5Pro when all the hardware is working with the OS.
HTH!

Maybe try Kodi or VLC, that's what I use for 4k HDR videos on my Mibox international and it displays the correct aspect ratio. Does this only happen on 10bit HDR files? the media center seems to be stretching all videos to fill the screen.

yung 10bit hdr are 3840x1604 (pero all 10bit hdr files same resolution eh)
for 3840x2160 the black bars are encoded to the video itself so for movies with 2.35:1 aspect ration you don't see the thin effect. But if the video is cropped to 3840x1604 (or anything not 16x9 ratio). it will stretch out the video to fill the screen. Your Hi-media doesn't keep the aspect ration I noticed the same thing when playing videos thru the usb port of my TV. But when playing thru Mibox it would keep the aspect ration.

Got the "Himedia Q10 Pro" the other day. Already Nougat out of the box, with the latest Kodi 17.6 Krypton.
Bought this box just mainly for HDR capabilities, Dolby Atmos audio pass-through, and can store large amount of UHD blu-ray files when you load 3.5" Hard Drive on top of it.
Unboxing here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECRFKop4ejg&t=45s
Video testing here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxLqDCrYVzo
BTW, even MX Player can do Dolby Atmos audio and much preffered video player for me.
So far so good! I'm happy with this box. ;D

Mura ba ito? Para sa akin ang mahal nto for an Android box, kaya ko lang knuha to just for Dolby Atmos pass-through to my AVR, na hindi nagagawa doon sa mga little android boxes ko.kaya nga atmos works , it’s all about software(firmware in this case)BTW Cartoon HD ang gamit ko, similar to MegaBox HD
and Newest Movies HD
i also like the build over egreat which is more expensive.
egreat is learning sw drives their sales, kaya they put in 4k playback goodies din

already got a samsung ks8000 which is 4k and HDR na, receiver is 7.2 and atmos. i already have the speakers installed. currently using xbox one x for bluray but di ko pa na explore ang media player functions niya.
question: does hi-media Q support atmos and 4k HDR?

I can set the Q10 Pro into 60FPS, but my Xgimi H2 projector can't accept it. Maybe I am using a long HDMI cable.

Post by: GLC on Nov 27, 2018 at 04:32 PM
Meron. I shifted from Mede8er to Himedia Q10 Pro. Sa Kodi then Video you just add the folder/location where your movies are located. You'll be able to select the movie/tv scraper. After that it will start to get the metadata for your movies. Sa home screen ng Kodi "Movies" will show up, pag nag click ka dun you can see the thumbnails and you can just configure the view settings to your liking.
Tried out different skin sa kodi and settled with Amber. Mas maganda pag display ng mga thumbnails niya.
At first nahirapan ako mag setup sa Himedia Q10 Pro kasi daming configurations unlike Mede8er na konti lang ang kakalikutin mo. Once you've set it up naman, you can just sit back and be amazed with it.
tanung ko lang kung kailangan ko pa gamitin yun scraper kasi manually ko dinadownload yun movie posters online bago ko itransfer galing pc to media player ko. madedetect ba yun mga poster sa media center. balak ko kasi mag migrate from mede8er to himedia q10 pro.
