RE: New HiMedia Q5 - looun - 2015-03-27 In EU it's available himedia M3 Quote:The M3 is essentially a cut-down version of the Q5 4K3D. It retains all the key features but uses a less powerful Cortex A7 HiSilicon chipset, Quad-core Mali-450 GPU, 1GB RAM, and has fewer external ports. 102€ + sc RE: New HiMedia Q5 - hdmkv - 2015-03-27 Looks basically the same CPU & GPU as Q5 4K, but 1GB RAM (vs. 2GB). That extra GB of RAM I think really helps Q5 perform a little snappier than VidOn for example. At HiMedia's site, I also see a similar H8 and a Q1. This is what sucks with HiMedia... they have a darn good player in Q5 4K, the later build English version that is, and the way they name and market their products is just terrible (plus their almost non-existent official support). They have too many models to add to overall confusion. Also looks like there's a new Q16 4K, with 16GB RAM and 8-core GPU (vs. 4-core in Q5 4K). So, a souped-up Q5 it seems.

RE: New HiMedia Q5 - hdmkv - 2015-03-27 When you Google "himedia Q16 4K" couple of etailers pop-up, but based on my experience having ordered from a China-based etailer, you may get a Chinese version box. And, who knows if there's a HiMedia wrapper and ATMOS patch for Q16.

Only Q5 Q10 M3 have firmware for English(EU) market . Q1 q12 q2 h7 h8 m1 ...... are only for Chinese RE: New HiMedia Q5 - hdmkv - 2015-03-27 Good to know, thanks... like I said, too many variations by HiMedia, including different Q5, Q10 and M3 hardware/firmware for China vs. English/EU. RE: New HiMedia Q5 - movie78 - 2015-03-27 Too much Q's RE: New HiMedia Q5 - looun - 2015-03-30 i found some information... i understood there is "China firmware or overseas firmware", overseas are himedia Vietnamese version(english remote, playstore ecc).

Just wish they would do a better job distinguishing between their various models, hardware revisions and firmwares. Also, an official English forum would help. Couple of additional notes about Q5 as I play with it more...
Steps for launching directly to Kodi on Q5 4K (English version):
One issue with above is now that I have XBMC Launcher as my default launcher, I have no way to get back to Q5's settings or Android settings. Solved: Under Add-ons > Programs > Android Programs, add 'Settings' and 'Launcher' as favorites so you can get to them from Kodi. RE: New HiMedia Q5 - hdmkv - 2015-04-01 Some more testing today: - 23.976 VC-1 1080p, choppy playback (almost slo-mo) with HiMedia Player; worse with Kodi player - 29.970 VC-1 1080i, slighly better, but also choppy, jumpy playback; worse with Kodi player Basically, VC-1 is a no-go with Q5. RE: New HiMedia Q5 - looun - 2015-04-02 CPU is :Quad-core HiSilicon Hi3798C Quad-core Cortex A9 CPU running at 1.5 Ghz, not 2 Ghz. hdmkv can you check old chinese version or you have sold? RE: New HiMedia Q5 - hdmkv - 2015-04-02 Hmm, I'm not seeing where it shows 1.5 Ghz in above screenshot. Do see storage as only 2GB, so where do they get "ROM: 8GB eMMC"? Is latter storage? |
