HiMedia Q10 Pro, Q5 Pro / Has anyone tried MrMC (Kodi fork) with HiMedia?

« on: July 30, 2018, 05:53:39 AM »

I'm interested if anyone here has tried running the new Kodi fork of MrMC on their Q10Pro or Q5Pro?

This has been developing separately from Kodi and now has the talents of the Kodi Android programmer Koyong (who developed the SPMC fork and has now joined forces). I know SPMC runs ok (and can even use the standard wrapper file extension for external video playback).

There have been a few people promoting its use on other forums (with different hardware).

HiMedia Q10 Pro, Q5 Pro / Seagate Expansion Portable Drive 4Tb not recognised [SOLVED]

« on: November 21, 2017, 06:56:52 AM »

My brother-in-law purchased a Seagate 4Tb Expansion Drive (unpowered/portable 2 1/2" external HDD).
Plugged in directly to our Q10Pro's, in any USB slots, the drive is not recognised at all by the system.

It is formatted NTFS and it works perfectly fine on two Windows 10 PC's.
I use USB external drives regularly in the side USB 3.0 port of the Q10Pro.
I tried 3 other external non-powered drives and they all log and work fine (including a Seagate 1Tb).

I connected a USB 3.0 hub that is in regular use with same result (thinking it may be lack of power from the USB ports to the drive).
The 4Tb drive is simply not recognised (but all others tested are). I even checked the drive SMART and all is fine.

Has anyone else experienced or heard of this issue with large external Seagate drives? Is there any other way or technique to get the player to recognise the external drive? Maybe it is a HDD to avoid.....

HiMedia Q10 Pro, Q5 Pro / Experience with continuous play of videos from a single folder?

« on: May 28, 2017, 01:21:59 PM »

I have been asked on another forum (Whirlpool Australia) about how the Q10 Pro handles continuous play of files within a directory.
I know MediaCenter (and Kodi using wrapper) starts on the next video or tv episode once the current one finishes. I have also seen where after the last TV episode has played, the first one starts again.

My guess is that it will keep playing each video within a folder in continuous long loop but has anyone here done or tested this theory?
I said I would ask the experienced minds here

Thanks.
