Thank you pcristi it is working great!
Do you know if I can get Dolby sound with this Android TV.
I don’t know what settings, I see on my AV receiver only pcm not dolby.

When I watch a movie in Kodi, the Q10 sometimes suddenly reboots! Does this bother more people or is something wrong?

[captinmike]

Yes, happens to me. I find using the clean app on start up helps.

But if you use clean Apps, Kodi says it is starting first time?

[captinmike]

Its not a problem, it doesn't affect your Kodi settings.

Ok thank you, I will give it a try 👍

To bad, the clean app didn’t help, when I watch a movie in Kodi, after about 15 minutes the box restarts.

I've got the same situation when I play a daily video from a Dutch website with Google or Google Chrome!
Sometimes it plays 5, 10 or 15 minutes the HiMedia Q10 Pro stops and restart. there is no way to play the video again without restarting again. I just play the video content on my PC, tablet or smartphone without any issues. Everything else still works fine with the player and I'm very happy with it.

Yes, it is very annoying that the box now restarts so often when you watch a movie or series in Kodi.
The box can actually no longer be used!
Hopefully someone knows a solution?

The power supply unit could be faulty, try another one. Any 12V PSU rated for at least 2A with tip size 5.5 x 2.1 with center pin positive will work.

Update: I haven't changed anything yet, but have now played an entire movie without any problems.
Could it be that I just got some wrong streams?
Try another movie tonight.

No problems lately, all is working fine.
Only question, I have an iPhone and iPad (Airplay 2), but can’t get them cast on my TV, is there a good free Android TV or Kodi App so I can stream from iPad to TV with the Q10 Pro?
