Regarding the big leap in version number from 1.0.9.1 to 3.0.1, Himedia say it's due to the new media centre. So the version number has taken on the media centre version number. Seems a little odd, I know.

First impression from 3.0.1

1) looks good and I'm going to watch Avengers: Age Of Ultron 3D ISO to test is it fixed audio drops out
2) but I have a little note about the new Media Center - why my shortcuts are positioned after all icons - I use more often my shortcuts more than other static icons from the Media Center?

Just Quick question before update. ....
My kodi addons Will be deleted after update firmware?
And other app install?  (Like sopcast acestream or Firefox And his bookmarks? )
Thanks for The answer! 😁

[airsoft]

try without reset - just copy update.zip to root folder of flash and then local upgrade
I do this every time and my settings are not lost.

If something doesn't work then you can reset the box via two menus for reset:
1) standard Android one
2) from the settings of Himedia

no wipe no party ! it's better do fresh update with reset every time.
If you need use kodi programm "backup", you can restore after upgrade.

Sure, but what about the Media Center settings, not everyone uses Kodi?
And let face it, who likes upgrade with lost settings?

only kodi backup, system backup you need root device.


i do me test with my favorites 3D iso movie: pacific rim, star trek , transformer ecc and now:

- 3d is amazing ! perfect! no ghost!
- more 3d deep and effect
- picture quality is increase , with my plasma i seem have oled !

i have playback yesterday first part fo Mad Max: Fury Road with old firmware(it's became late so i had go to sleep ) and today i playback second part of film with new firmware, there are visible improvements of 3d and picture quality.

For me now Q5 is A+ for local file , the only missing with this box is better support for kodi video addon and web streaming.

There are some stutter, but it can happen from ripped file or file NAS buffer streaming, but very rare 1 or 2 for film .

I have test 23,976fps with motionbar test video ,no stutter.

Dolby Atoms doesn't work with LPMC output. Bitstreaming is fine. After installing the patch for atmos the player doesn't plays any file anymore.

Bitstream works, but how do you setup for PCM output?
I didn't succeed to make my Q5 to send 7.1 PCM to my receiver via HDMI?

The settings are little messy, don't you think?

HDMI Output : RAW - Close - Auto - LPCM
SPDIF Output : Close - LPCM - RAW
HBR Output : RAW7.1 - Auto - RAW5.1

only 2.0 LPCM out it's support, why you need Dolby Atoms with LPMC output?

I don't need LPCM - I prefer my AV receiver to decode the audio, just share my opinion.
My previous player DUNE has ability to bitstream original audio or
to decode the audio and send via HDMI same number of channels to the receiver.
And that's why I was looking for same ability in Himedia Q5.
