I quickly tested the new firmware 1.08 but can not find anything positive.
He was quick to crash in the search for kodi library films.
also the big problem of reading DVDs has not been resolved. indeed worsened, not only it kodi not read them yet but also the internal reader does not read them more '.
I then tried to change wrappler primary reader in kodi and the DVD starts, but you do not hear the audio.
for now the new firmware is just a failure. I return to the old 1.07

One positive aspect of the new firmware is that I found it quicker moving between applications and opening programs etc. but little else.

I am back again on FW 1.06 as this is still the best for BD and DVD

I have replied to these points in detail in the Q5 Pro thread.

Me too.

If the DVD issue is not solved soon, i'll be looking into buying a different product.

Owning a media player that has problems playing my media is kind of pointless.

(UNOFFICIAL) HiMediaVideoPlayer 1.0.6_HMD_1013_Release with fix for exnternal and Poliah
- I don't see any effect but 3D Sub Adjust option visible again
http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=812.msg8998#msg8998

+1 big disappointment !!!! Almost 2 months and a half and they came with this unfinished firmware.
Anyway a few things should be mentioned as an addition to what colleagues have said above:
3D subtittle adjust disapeared in this firm. It will be good to be back.
The message of confirmattion when exiting the movie was resolved(by pressing 2 times the back button)  but the message from Kodi "press ok when playback ended" is still there. I mention again that this problem was fixed on Q5 quad....I beg for this 2 modiffications from 1.0.6 ....

LE:  for quote full post and bold initial quote --> maybe now is clear if not send private message.
Please read edited message(msg8998) from Q5/Q10 Pro Custom Firmware too.

Judder is still present also with latest fw in himedia app....I have to use kodi everytime.

Anyway I have a question that I don't still understand well. My TV is HD Ready that support resolution up to 1080p 60HZ. For best result is better set to 720p (standard output of tv), 1080p or choose "HDMI auto adaptation"? With last one always recognize 1080p 60HZ.

1080p is Full HD, simple "HD ready" means -normally in the previous TV manufacturers dictionary-  720p max display resolution (supported by the display electronics/panel itself).  So I couldn't catch your point here.

Maybe you mean that your TV can dispay (downscale) 1080p source material to 720p, wich is normal. But I gues there will be more briefed member here to inform you precisely... (I just answered in the case when no concerned ones would...) But if your TV supports res up to 1080p, than its a FHD.

However, (to get a bit over what I couldn't  decode properly ;D) don't bother with "Auto Adaptation", it just would casue troubles. Choose eighter 720p or 1080p, and see and test which produces the better PQ compared to your eyes expctations with real video playback....

(And yes, I know that HD Ready TV's can diplay 1080p material as well, which I guess would be in your case, futher testing to choose between the two "setup" is up to you , I guess... Till someone prooves the sureness to bail out my suggestions..)

Thanks for the answer Mount!  :) Yes, tv is HD Ready 720p. This is the information in the technical specifications of TV:

Video signals supported by the HDMI: 480p, 567p, 720p, 1080i/p @ 24 / 30 / 50 / 60 Hz

So I have to choose between 720p 60Hz or 1080p 60Hz. In theory I think that standard 720p would be better to rendering and refresh the image. And about HDMI deep color what would be the best option? Default is YCbCr422 10bit. Or it's better to set on 8bit?

I also gues that the best resolution would be the native 720p.  So I would set the custom resolution to 720p, however HDMI auto adaptation should work, but in many cases it obviously fails in it's task (in overall, not just on these players). The  YCbCr would be best at 4:2:0 and 8bit, cause the video sources these days are mainly in this format, but sadly the player only supports it in 4K 50/60Hz. So the closer you can set to this the colour space, the better result you would get.  Also I guess that you TV neighter supports 10bit Deep Colour (even most of the FHD TV don't), so  YCbCr422 8 bit would be fine for your TV.
(Till Himedia would be so nice to finally solve and bring YCbCr 4:2:0 with 8bit to 1080p/720p res with any refresh rate as well.)
