Q5 4K3D CS Custom Firmware 3.0.4

[futeko.com]

pcristi strikes again with another excellent custom firmware, this time for Q5 4K3D!

It's based on the Chinese 3.0.4 firmware (so one version later than the most recent official European firmware) and offers a customised interface very reminiscent of Q5/Q10 Pro. As usual with CS custom firmware it updates key apps and dramatically improves UI appearance.

Nice firmware. Everything is smooth and stable.
It solved my sound dropping problem.

But the videos are always played in Fullscreen in Himedia player.
So I need to Quit Fullscreen every time I play a video...
How to change this default behavior?

Thanks for your help.

Hi all,

I've also tested the firmware, seems the audio dropping problem is fixed, but what about any version of KODI at least 16.1?

Anyone with success?

Regards

I've tested the new firmware and have some notes:
1. No autoframerate.
2. I have to use "quit full screen" function with any film. Is it possible to turn it off permanently?

I got the answer for point 2/
You need to go to the main settings on your home page.
The Playback, Maintain Aspect Ration, and choose Keep Ratio.

Hi member's,
I have a little problem, if i play a mkv video it doesn't switch to 24p frame. Tried with different videos but no changes. In the settings I already have turned on the the 24p playback but it doesn't effect on it. My player is a Himedia q5 quad 2014 with the custom 3.04 firmware. Any ideas for the problem ? With the old firmware 3.03 it hadn't the problem only with new one.


Thanks for help

Just a question for those who used this custom firmware: is there a way to install it without the ugly black/white interface, and with Himedia's normal colorful interface instead?

After installing the firmware uninstall the 'whicons' app.

Just this firmware or any?

Are you sure you have a Q5 4K3D? What does it say on the bottom right of the front panel?

Hi,
in front on the left side ther's the logo himedia Q5 on the top side I found this written::
h 264 mkv 1080p real hd ape plac

on the right side i have 3 usb and a point for the restore.

I've tried with many firmw. but it doesen't working.
It is possible to flash this tvbox using any others usb-tools for example with a pc?

In your opinion it is possible to do a recovery or to introduce a new recovery.?
The only thins that it is doing by now it is the android logo.
Thank you

I'm 97% sure you don't have a Q5 4K3D.

Q5 has existed in four generations. Q5, Q5II, Q5 4K3D (or quad), Q5 Pro. I think you have one of the first two.

We never sold those products, so we don't have firmware.

I have installed, working perfectly, but I can't play from KODI via Wrapper. Wrapper setup says default player is KODI, but nothing happaned, immidiatelly play with the kodi player. In the list doesn't have "choose player"
What can I do?
