* CS Custom Q5 4K3D Firmwares Added and updated apps. Ad block.
* android-mediaplayer.de Excellent German HiMedia forum.

FAQ

* Drive mount location? All apps except the HiMedia file browser and player use Android file structure. All directories and locations are subdirectories of root, which is symbolised as /. External drives are located at /mnt/sda/sda1 (Q10 internal HDD only) and  /mnt/sdb/sdb1 then /mnt/sdb/sdb2 etc (all USB drives).

* Drive mount location in Kodi? Root file system - /mnt/sda/sda1 (Q10 internal HDD only) and root file system - /mnt/sdb/sdb1 then /mnt/sdb/sdb2 etc (all USB drives).

* How to make Kodi launch on startup? For firmware 3.0.2 and later, go to apps menu from home screen. Using remote, press menu key when hovering over app. You will see an option for 'default start'. Alternatively, there are several free apps in Play Store designed to do this. We recommend Autostart and Stay!: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atasoglou.autostartandstay&hl=en_GB

* Maximum image sharpness? For maximum image sharpness Q5/Q10/M3 screen scale should be set to maximum and your TV/projector should be set to Screen Fit. On the Q5/Q10/M3 go Settings - Display - Screen Size Position and set all dimensions to the largest possible. Settings for your TV/projector will differ according to brand, but on a Samsung TV press the P.SIZE button on remote until you get to 'Screen Fit'.

* Stop navigation bar from popping up when mouse cursor at bottom of screen (firmware 3.0.2 only, Q5/Q10/M3) Install this update file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/c4gb03d2p3suc67/update.zip To install copy file to USB stick and go Settings - Upgrade - Local upgrade. It will only remove the navigation bar and make no other changes to your setup.

* Make internet streams play using Kodi internal player (dvdplayer) whilst local video plays using wrapper? Install ES File Explorer and change settings-display so you can view hidden files. Navigate to sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/ and replace playercorefactory.xml file with this version: http://www.mediafire.com/view/9h5dr4kc4e9e30a/playercorefactory.xml

It's a Miracast sending app. You use it to send photo/music/video to a HiMedia box.

Lots of phones/tablets have this feature built in already, for instance on the creaking old Galaxy S3 I have here the Gallery app has an icon at the top for Samsung allshare (which is actually Miracast in disguise). When selected it will send any photo to the HiMedia.

All the HiMedia products we sell are set up as Miracast receivers out of the box.

Hello,


I just bought the Q10 4K3D player recently from Hong Kong. I think it's the Chinese version. Just want to ask is it possible to update/flash my firmware to HMD 1.09 which is provided from here? If so, will it brick my player due to different player version (region)? Or just happen something like the subtitle can not be shown in the Traditional Chinese.....

If you're lucky then the update won't install at all.

If you're not (or if you change the filename to try and trick the box into accepting the update) then it will permanently brick your box.

The Chinese and European hardware aren't firmware compatible.
