HiMedia Q5/Q10 4K3D FAQ, downloads and firmware

[roccotiello]

If you get the same problem downloading from both our and HiMedia's download locations (which are completely different servers) then the problem is at your end somwhere. Maybe try a different PC.

Is update file on Himedia site compatible with Q5 European Version?

Yes.

Updates for the Chinese version of HiMedia products are on the Chinese HiMedia site (all text in Chinese).

i am assuming for the Q5 pro that Q5. 1.0.9.1 is the latest firmware?

NO! This forum and the firmware here is for HiMedia Q5/Q10 4K3D, the previous generation product.

For HiMedia Q5/Q10 Pro (2016 generation) see this forum: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?board=14.0

FAQ

* Drive mount location? All apps except the HiMedia file browser and player use Android file structure. All directories and locations are subdirectories of root, which is symbolised as /. External drives are located at /mnt/sda/sda1 (Q10 internal HDD only) and  /mnt/sdb/sdb1 then /mnt/sdb/sdb2 etc (all USB drives).

* Drive mount location in Kodi? Root file system - /mnt/sda/sda1 (Q10 internal HDD only) and root file system - /mnt/sdb/sdb1 then /mnt/sdb/sdb2 etc (all USB drives).

* How to make Kodi launch on startup? For firmware 3.0.2 and later, go to apps menu from home screen. Using remote, press menu key when hovering over app. You will see an option for 'default start'. Alternatively, there are several free apps in Play Store designed to do this. We recommend Autostart and Stay!: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atasoglou.autostartandstay&hl=en_GB

* Maximum image sharpness? For maximum image sharpness Q5/Q10/M3 screen scale should be set to maximum and your TV/projector should be set to Screen Fit. On the Q5/Q10/M3 go Settings - Display - Screen Size Position and set all dimensions to the largest possible. Settings for your TV/projector will differ according to brand, but on a Samsung TV press the P.SIZE button on remote until you get to 'Screen Fit'.

* Stop navigation bar from popping up when mouse cursor at bottom of screen (firmware 3.0.2 only, Q5/Q10/M3) Install this update file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/c4gb03d2p3suc67/update.zip To install copy file to USB stick and go Settings - Upgrade - Local upgrade. It will only remove the navigation bar and make no other changes to your setup.

* Make internet streams play using Kodi internal player (dvdplayer) whilst local video plays using wrapper? Install ES File Explorer and change settings-display so you can view hidden files. Navigate to sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/ and replace playercorefactory.xml file with this version: http://www.mediafire.com/view/9h5dr4kc4e9e30a/playercorefactory.xml

@futeko.com no solutions?

[trancesource]

What are the improvements regarding this update??

[Gaia]

Finaly DTS stutter  fix.

Hiplayer subtitle to fix any problems (no external, if the unicode-encoded, end of the slanted lines indicating symbol at the end of the line of the internal subtitle files  (</i>)...) More shading around the letters. 
This fault is also the Pro series.

It's very funny in 2017. We expect two years of repairs.
