HiMedia has better picture quality.

HiMedia has better picture quality.

Do you also carry the MiniX and have tested it side by side with the HiMedia?

[leomarley]

may USB 3.0 host na ba mga 4k NMTs?

[Lancito]

Question, ano ang YAMJ type program na ginagamit ng mga 4K NMT like MiniX and HiMedia?

Someone answered Kodi. I guess you do not like it. What exactly in YAMJ that you are looking for?

Intel NUCs are okay as NMT / HTPC? Even the celeron model?

Nice link provided! Looks good to be used as nmt.

Exactly.


You can buy a lenovo Celeron Braswell laptop for less than 10k brand new. 500GB with screen keyboard usb ports etc etc.


This makes more sense that buying a box NMT. You have the flexibility to run any OS you want and plus the fact that it more fixable than box NMT.

YOu can even run a torrent client and act as  a NAS if you want it to.

I went the Nuc celeron route since I wanted Netflix in hd , for my dedicated nmt.  As only a handful of the android players (nvidia shield , wetek ) had the capability , almost all (minix , hi media, etc ) were limited to sd resolution for Netflix .

Nvidia shield as nmt is okay din ba?

A few including myself are using it.

So far I have no complains except the price.


Right now it is on sale on gearbest for 179$ with game controller + remote

HiMedia has better picture quality.

How many usb inputs does the HiMedia H8 have, and how much po ang unit? Thanks.

[leomarley]

may support for USB3.0 ba ang HiMedia H8?

guys im going to the route of 4k and Atmos, so far I have upgraded my receiver to Denon1200 and next week will scoring Samsung 6600 UHD. What's left is to upgrade my Measy NMT, I need the following features:

- Atmos / Dtx capable
- can play H265
- 4k ready and can upscale
- User interface like xbmc

the 4th one medyo dinagdag ko kasi for the longest time na ginagamit ko yung Measy naka folder list lang ako lagi, gusto ko sana yung parang XBMC na may poster ang movie, synopsis at minsan meron pang preview.

Thanks in advance! oh btw, money is an object so not going to spend more than 10k.

Check out HiMedia Q10
Srp is 10,500 I think...
So for sure may cash discount yan.

Hi guys. I'm looking to upgrade from my popcorn hour A400.
So far what is the best 4k capable nmt right now in terms of PQ and AQ? thanks in advance.
I'm only going to play through an external hard drive. Priority is PQ & AQ. No need for online apps.

Nvidia Shield?
Himedia?
Etc..

1. NVidia Shield
2. HiMedia Q10 / Q5

This is based from my personal experience...

[xb24]

Hi sir Louie thanks for the reply.

I might purchase Nvidia Shield 

My popcorn A400 can't play mkvs/remux/bd/iso with truehd audio properly. It would have audio dropouts throughout the whole movie even with all the firmware updates. On the other hand, files with DTS-HD play fine.

As for the audio quality the A400 is just ok. I'm surprised that my much cheaper Mede8er 500X2 has more immersive audio than the A400.

Are there still bugs in playing video files in Nvidia Shield? Is the ISO playback ok now?

Would you say the AQ on the Nvidia is also the best based on your past NMTs?
Thanks

I'M not sure sir if iso files is playable via Kodi if installed on the NVidia Shield...

[xb24]

^Thanks sir. But how about the bluray AQ (truehd/atmos/dtshd) of the nvidia shield? Can you say it has the best audio of all the nmts you've tested?

[wacksy1021]

Question, wala na bang media player ngayon na bago to play 4k and the new audio formats like atmos yet capable of full blu ray menu din.

I have an existing c300 popcorn hour that plays full bd. But do i have to buy another player like nvidia shield or hi media q10 just to play 4k eventually when i get my 4k capable tv? Or is there something i can buy that will fit both?

Thanks

AQ is not a function of the media player as it will just "pass-thru" the digital audio data stream to your AV receiver.You just need to know if the media player will support "pass-thru" then your AV receiver will do the rest.

Sound/Audio Quality will be highly dependent on your AV Receiver because the NVidia Shield will just bitstream the digital audio file (HD Audio=ATMOS/TrueHD/Master Audio) to your AV Receiver and your AV Receiver will be the one who will decode and convert it to analog and amplify to your speaker

What you could do is make sure to use high quality HDMi Cables to eliminate Audio and Video dropouts...
Based from my experience, I had to replace my generic HDMi cable becuase I was having audio dropouts when playing movies with ATMOS audio format.

Hope this helps

Because of the new Cinavia, unfortunately wala na...
Baka a tweaked HTPC could do both
