Was this just me getting the movies reproduction quite lagged?

I had no other than the Preinstalled Kodi 17.0 which automatically updated to 17.1 and the xxxxxx repository.

More than decent Wifi connection (109Mb).

Why was this not playing smoothly?

Couldn't find clearly information about what Samba is, or what it is important for?
Same with Wrapper, it does requires login... not even sure where to get it from and with which purpose?
Is there a way to customize my box main menu (removing facebook, skype, or make it more Android handset menu alike) easily? Or might I need to learn to root it... I have the latest sold version as I've received the box literally two days ago.
On top of this, there are few apps on within the preinstalled ones which I have never seen before and it will be more than welcome a guide through explaining what are those used for and how to use them?

Samba is the technical name for Windows networking. It's the most commonly used networking standard.

Wrapper is pre-installed. If you are using a password protected Samba share you'll need to enter share details in wrapper app, which can be found at Home - My Apps - Wrapper. In Kodi you can select whether to play media with wrapper or Kodi internal player by navigating to media, pressing remote menu key and selecting wither 'Wrapper' or 'VideoPlayer'.

Apps on home screen tiles can be swapped by navigating to tile and pressing remote menu key. It will take you to My Apps page where you can select an alternative app. On Android 7 firmware the launcher (the home screen app) cannot be changed, on the Android 5.1 firmwares it can.

Which apps exactly do you want a guide for? Most apps have their own help pages, usually online.

Thanks a lot, I will take it from here to start my research.
I will try my best to make sure I'm not asking for redundant or already published information in the forum

Hello to all,

I am also a newbie with my Q10 pro.

To be honest, I've got attracted to it due the idea of using Kodi, and reading online the endless possibilities of this machine.

However, it happened now that I am quite lost on where to start from. Ideally I would prefer to not start changing firmwares, upgrading downgrading or flashing my box, but I would do if that is the recommendation.

I've got few doubts tho...

I know these might be a bit dummy questions and I will be suggested to look in forums, just as  a note, I've already done so, the issue is that for new users with lack of knowledge as it is my case, we are not quite after the instructions on how to do things, but mostly on understanding what things are:

I hope you find this a fair request, it will be great having the answer to those, or +1's if there are other users having same doubts.

Thanks

Hello to all,

I am a basic Kodi user and despite the research I have done along the posts I couldn't find the solution to my problem.

I have just received yesterday my HiMedia Q10 pro box with Android 7 and Kodi 17.0 preinstalled.

I haven' done nothing but download the ** repository for Kodi and try to launch some movies.

It happens with this Box that the system looks all good, repository is there, fair internet signal (working for other devices streaming Kodi), the movies search works and it finds providers enough to play a movie, but when launching the movie, it attemps to play, but it stops straight away.

As I said, checking in the forums I haven not found any suitable solution. I did set the day and time to today's day, my internet provider isn' BT, I haven't download anything on firmwares or upload the android version nor the Kodi version...

Any thoughts will be welcome.
