Use the chinch-output to your AV.
Switch the TV-Speaker off.
Playback the Sound only over your Amp using the Chinchcables.
Then disconnect while Playback the HDMI-Plug.
Only check then the Sound.

3D iso are played in 720p instead of 1080p. Switching from 3d to 2d and back to 3d brings 1080p playback.

Same problem to me, but TV says "720p 3D"

my download appears ok but can't update successively. tried it about 10 times...with cable connection not wifi... update begins and then suddenly  stops and reboots

managed finally to update after downloading from oficial Himedia Lithuania distributors:

Size of update is a little bit bigger. Maybe something is wrong with the file hosted by mediafire...

Hi, I was having the same problem and I feel really stupid but it only just clicked when I read that the update was put inside an archive! I was renaming the download "update.zip" and was unable to load it as other people have mentioned. I didn't realise that you had to unzip the download to find the update.zip inside! So, if anyone's like me, unzip the download before updating! Doh!

How can I tell if my q5 is the European version?

How can I tell if my q5 is the European version?

If it has Chinese writing on the top it's definitely the Chinese version.



Otherwise it's probably the European version.

In theory you can try the European update and see if it works. The Chinese hardware should not accept 'update.zip' as a valid update file. THIS IS RISKY THOUGH BECAUSE IF IT DID ACCEPT IT (AND WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHAT HYBRID HARDWARE MIGHT BE OUT THERE) IT WOULD BRICK THE BOX.

Lot's of people are having this problem!

Other sites have the update.zip file itself (often renamed) available for direct download.

We put the update.zip file inside of an archive. Reasons being that it allows us to include a README file and it prevents a corrupt download of update.zip from being installed and potentially bricking boxes (the update.zip would not extract if the download was corrupt).

some people have occasionally audio drop outs.
I have same audio drop outs with film ,no with TV serie, but i always do streaming for NAS so i ma not sure is a bug.

[Caramba69]

I also stream from my nas and the audio drop outs occur only with 23,976 movies. 24 and 50/60 is fine.

[Caramba69]

I can reproduce this audio drop outs now. I try to cut this part out of the main movie. Where should I send this to?

[hdmkv]

Can you upload it to MediaFire or similar and send me a link? I'll pass it on to HiMedia. I had dropouts while watching a 2D movie ('Kingsman: The Secret Service') last night.

[Caramba69]

OK. I will do. The dropout occurs at 33 seconds. This clip plays fine with Raspberry 2 and Kodi.

[hdmkv]

I can confirm the dropout. Sent to HiMedia.
