Hello, I am considering purchasing a q5 pro and have a few questions. 1. On my LG bluray player (through the USB) I am am able to play all files with dts-hdma audio but unable to play dolby true hd. I've read it will play both, is this correct? 2. I've also read that some media players will not play hdd with multiple partitions. Will the q5 pro play a hdd with multiple partitions? 3. The LG bluray player has options for adjusting the screen size and subtitle controls. Does the q5 pro also? 4. Do I have to have a 4ktv to play 10-bit files or does the q5 adjust the 10-bit to 8 bit to fit the tv?
These features will determine if I will buy a q5. Thankyou  for your help.

1. It will play both.

2. No problems with multiple partitions.

3. Subtitles have comprehensive options. Forced subtitles are not yet supported in test firmware but we expect they will be by the time box is released. What do you mean by screen size? Aspect ratio and screen overscan can be adjusted if you mean that.

4. The Q5/Q10 Pro will play 10bit files on 8bit HDMI 1.4 TV and at lower resolutions if need be.

Thank you for answering my questions. I just have a couple more. 1. What is the largest external HDD  the q5 pro will use? 2. Do you ship in the US? 3. What type of warranty comes with it? 3. Whats the difference between using KODI versus the internal player? Thanks in advance

Kodi is very limited on HiSilicon SoC... no 23.976, no HD audio, no full 3D. All things the native player does well.

We're trying to get a Q10 Pro sample to a Kodi dev, an Android expert, but it has been stuck in customs unfortunately. His involvement would likely mean better integration of above features from within Kodi, something he's already accomplished for AMLogic SoC players and nVidia Shield.

In my Himedia 900b when I was trying to copy some movie from a hard disk to another via the green button on the remote ,all of a sudden some other movie that I had stored  disappeared.In the folder  that the movie was stayed only the cover and the mkv file was magically transformed in 0 kb with supposedly running time of 14 hours and some minutes and of course not playable. I want to ask if i put in the Q10 an internal seagate 8tb would I be able to copy my collection of movies via the player without problems; In the 900b I had 2 x 2tb disks connected in the 2 usb 2 ports

Himedia q10 pro official support 6TB HDD, but now with Q10 some 8tb HDD work without issues.

I thought that Q10 pro officially supported 8tb hdd

The only one HDD with 8 TB I am aware of is the Seagate Backup unit. For media player these HDD specs are good, so no problems to be expected. there. Never do massive HDD copying using media players myself, always use a PC for that. Copying uses a lot of memory/caching to do so, which could be a bit tricky on a platform not really designed for that?

Price/capacity of the Seagate 8 TB HDD is excellent. Probably get myself one too. Will share the result when my Q10 Pro arrives (need a USB HDD-Docking station to work with it).

But how can I copy via a pc since the disk will be internal;

But how can I copy via a pc since the disk will be internal;

If you connect a USB slave to USB cable between Q10 Pro and PC the PC will see the Q10 Pro internal drive as a USB HDD.

Or you can copy using Samba / NFS networking, which with the Gigagbit LAN port / AC wi-fi will be fast.

Using Samba myself (20 MB/sec Write and 30 MB/sec Read) or move  a HDD to my PC physically (has 2 Plug & Play  docking bays) . May also move the complete 4-port Fantec Bay for massive BD.ISO file moves to my PC.

Also got the 8 TB Seagate ST8000AS0002 in use now. It can be moved freely between Internal, mentioned 4-port USB3 Bay and my PC for Docking.
The drive works fine and is silent regarding rotation. Head movements can be heard clearly by the relative loud clicks it makes. For ISO's files as I use never a problem neither is that it writes small files a lot slower than huge files (peak 130 MB/sec). It is an Archive drive and when used as such a good choice.  I see some using it in a Raid, which functionally works fine but is not recommended by Seagate (probably for good reasons).

Because of that I am only using WD HDDs (green and blue).
