3) I want to install a script to auto mount my SMB share, but I can't seem to use luoonns method to connect to the device. Says cannot connect or find device on ip address.   Is this because of the firmware and location?

check IP of your  Q5 and your network.

the others it's OFF TOPIC!  >:(

Yes, I've had it for awhile now, and Kodi works fine. Actually, all functionality works great. Playing movies, installing play store, etc.  No issues, and I can work with it.   The ONLY major issue I am having is using looun's method to mount a CIFS share from my FREENAS box at this point. Was wondering if I can't connect to the device using aad and his automount method is because of the firmware or hardware.  It does seem like this version of Android is more limited than English. 

Ive managed to get everything else to work as usual except that quirk.

Looun.  Thanks for responding. Yes, I've for sure checked and double checked the ip of the Himedia Q5. I'm 100% for sure its correct.  Ive disabled firewall an antivirus protection. Keeps saying unable to connect, or adb is not recognized as an internal or external command.

Hi Media Center App Works fine. I can mount and see the Samba Share from the app and EVERYTHING works flawlessly.  That's odd.   I've mounted the drives and tried check mount and try mount to no avail.  It still says:

unable to connect to 192.168.x.xxx:5555:5555
error: device not found
error: device not found

Occasionally it will say that adb is not a valid internal or external command.

maybe I'll try connecting and running the script from my laptop instead of my main PC.

I installed a script running program directly on the device. IT created the folder on the SD Card but for some reason kept asking about mount.

Any suggestions appreciated.

...The model # is Q5 then some Chinese characters, then 2000. Android 4.4.2.

HiMedia Chinese  models not have adb over tcp enable, don't spend your time trying Auto Mount  scripts or Root via lan, is not work on Chinese  models.

Pcristi!  Thanks!    Can I root it at all, even if not via lan?

Also, can I run the script on the device itself?  That is if I use a script program and run the script locally will that work?
