In my opinion Q5/Q10 Pro picture quality is significantly better than 900B, or any other of the Realtek based media players.

+1. Realtek PQ has always been on the soft side, and support for forced subs never came. Q10 Pro supports latter in MKV's at least, but haven't tested in full BD structures like 'Avatar'.

Re: stutter, I'm not seeing it, but only tested 5-min or less samples so far. Will need to watch full movies. Q10 Pro is playing 300Mbps Jellyfish clips w/zero issues, which is quite amazing, and more than ample headroom for 4K.

One other issue is 10-bit HDR videos, which don't play for me. My 4K display is 8-bit, but the HDR clip should still play when in SDR mode. It did w/a previous firmware on the pre-production sample... so HiMedia should be able to address this.

Fingers crossed

Yours hasn't gone out. It's a free sample so, to be fair to the paying customers, it's at the back of the queue.

It will go out Monday, as will the ~40% of batch#1 Q10 Pro that we didn't get out today.

Stock arrived later than we wanted today and the Q10 Pro is a big bulky thing to pack. Not the fastest. Sorry to those who'll have to wait a couple more days, it would have been better if the weekend (no Royal Mail post) wasn't in the way.

I would guess that most wont receive until Monday anyway, thanks to RM, so a couple of extra days wont make much difference.....honest!

Hi all.

I ordered my q10 pro 2 days ago. I'm really looking forward to getting it, it will be replacing my popcorn hour A410.

For those who already have one how is the 4k upscaling?  Are we talking as good as say the oppo blu ray players?

Full review and new video posted.

Let me know what you guys think.

A question:

On the X6 Pro with Android 5 I saw the first time, that a player uses the real Harddisk names (for example "Action") instead of the Android own drive  names like sdb2 sdc3 and so on...
The X6 Pro shows the real drive names in the normal explorer and in their Kodi explorer.

Is this made of the Android 5 System. resp. does the Q10 Pro too show the Harddisk names, or does it still show the Anrdoid own drive names?
And if the Q10 Pro still shows the nothing saying Android drive names, will this be changed in the future?

I am asking, because I have several HDs plugged to my player, and with the Android own drive names most of the time it is a fortune, to find the HD I want to watch a movie from. Its always a gamble/hit and miss. 

Thanx.

Hello?
Anybody here, who has the Q10 Pro, and is able to answer?

I didn't give my HDD a 'proper' name when formatting, so can't answer conclusively I'm afraid - you can of course change the name of a source in Kodi when adding it, so you could just add your drives as new sources and name them as you want?
