4k x265 10bit playback

[Robertjan88]

Hi all

As my Ks8000 TV does not seem to handle 4k x265 10but files wothout stutters and severe artifacts, I was wondering if the new HiMedi Q5Pro can handle them without issues (no stutters, no artifacss, no color issues etc)

Manh thanks!!

Yes, 4K playback of both 10-bit and HDR 10-bit are fine w/Q5 & Q10 Pro's, whether x264 or HEVC.

Great! Thanks for your feedback. Just also read your updated review on the Kodi forum. Awesome!

Just a last question: what apps and plugins should I definitely get when I buy the Q5pro to be able to play every audio and video format in the best quality? I heard something about a wrapper in the past, but not sure what it is

It would be amazing if you could provide a small guide for the perfect setup

In addition, on youtube I saw someone using the device, but noticed he used some kind of mouse pointer (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bNEQplpWtxA) to navigate through the content and settings. Can I also the remote as with other media players?

Many thanks  in advance!!

To be precise: 4K x264 works but 10bit x264 is a no go. But of course 10bit HEVC works.
