Hi, the only complain about the update is the slow boot, mine in  3.0.1 more than  minute, with 1.0.9 less than 30 seconds, will be great if that new "bug" of slow boot is fixed soon.
Thanks

Watched a movie last night. Micro stutters on dts HD MA were so bad that I had to change it to DTS surround instead, which was fine. Of far more concern though was the picture cut out twice for about 5 seconds each time, resuming from where it left off when it recovered. I honestly don't know if this is a firmware issue or whether my box is dying. I still have the same lip sync issues that I always have too,but  only on Truehd soundtracks. I actually gave  the himedia box the benefit of the doubt and replaced my AV receiver last week as it was quite old anyway, but my brand new Marantz is exactly the same, making it indisputably the Q5 the cause of the problems. I know I was in the minority with my Truehd issues, but has anyone else experienced these other issues? If it's a hardware issue rather than a software one I think I'd probably be happier as this is driving me crazy!

The 7.1 audio stutters might be network / processing bandwidth related rather than audio. Where are the files located? Do you get the same problems playing from local USB?

Hi, I wish it were so, but I am connected to my NAS via LAN and have plenty of bandwidth overhead. I have tried streaming off an attached USB stick with the same results. I make my comparisons against my old Popcorn Hour which doesn't have the same issues. It's clear that no one else is experiencing these issues as badly as me so it must be a hardware issue for me (i.e. dodgy box) rather than anything else. As a last ditch effort I'm going to downgrade to 1.0.9 as I can't remember experiencing issues before the 1.0.9.1 update and see how it goes. I'll let you know, thanks.

I am experiencing a boot time of about 33 seconds until you see the launcher, and its about 40 seconds until network connect.
I do however have a rooted box as well as using Looun's mount script,  I also remove all the air/dlna crap from my box because I don't use it.

I timed the Q5 boot at 36 seconds earlier. Q10 won't be much different.

.....still using ver1.0.9.1  after reversing back from 3.0.1 to try and pinpoint a possible cause of this micro stutter i decided to do / try two things to my set-up.
1/  Iv'e fed the Q10's psu from a mains conditioner / filter in the possibility there might be some mains voltage interference ?.
2/  On my Synology NAS , in Network Interface, i have enabled "Jumbo Frame" and set to MTU 9000.

Just watched a few clips, Mad Max Fury Road-3D-Atmos & a couple more that i have noticed stutter on and i didn't see any stutter.
I'm going to try some more tomorrow

Hello,

After multi test , the right thing is to use that way with custom firmwares Q10 http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=172.0
This is actualy the best way to read all without any problem. I don't have anyway stutter or anything else.

If you want use that way also to have the HD Audio way with the HimediaWrapper
http://www.android-mediaplayer.de/index.php/Thread/1897-Tool-Auto-Mount-Multimedia-shared-folder-without-root-HImedia-Q5-3D4k/

Think that Himedia must make more testing before uploading the firmware and have lots of problems as well.

Thanks

okay updated to the new firmware and all seems okay ?

but I don't see the NEW media player as I do when updating my M3 with the same version (M3 version that is) and still have the OLD BD Lite style menus (and Ghosting). Unfortunately I don't use my M3 for 3D movies so cant comment if the 3D exp has now improved..btw I have deff upgraded as my Q10 now displays the new firmware version on the box settings.!!!


So should the Q10 like the M3 and Q5 now be using the new media player or is that to come later.

Thanks for the info, i will retry  a new update,
With the  new update, my q10 boots in around 30/35seconds.

New media centre is in both Q5 and Q10 new firmwares.

It's possible that if you installed using the update menu method then the new media centre wasn't installed. If so then try a clean install using the reset button method outlined in the firmware thread.

Hi Futeko.

Tried the Update method as per instructions to do a clean install but the firmware update is just the same..

But when I said the Media Centre has not changed maybe I should have said that Media Player has not changed.

In my Himedia M3 update I have a new Media Player (with Black and White) menus, but my Q10 Media player is just the same old version..?

It's very difficult to achieve perfect playback on all files. Can you could attach mediainfo reports for files you're having problems with?

Most people have seen an improvement in the latest firmware.

And Q5/Q10 are already the best Android boxes available for video format support / performance.
