Which is why Intel NUC is my dedicated home theater box Smile, but Q10 Pro does 4K well, and may be more future proof (if there's such a thing) with HDR.

They need to release the firmware that is currently in beta mode right now, rather than wait for *every possible problem* to be fixed.

i checked, and the issue is not fixed Sad

Thanks for checking... forgot to check that, and now I'm on business travel. Can you let HiMedia know via e-mail... you can use the 'Ant-Man' screenshots I have in post #1 or maybe do a video demo so they can clearly see the issue. This is another annoying one, next to microstutters, that really needs to be fixed.

Its more about confidence in a product Smile Sometimes its better to drip feed small updates to keep confidence up.

Its been a while now since launch of the device and if the first firmware comes along and there are only a couple of small updates then tbh it makes you believe the company only cares about instant profit and putting a ghost team on fixing issues.

After listening to the Minor fixes that have been reported in the beta update you have to look at commitment by Himedia. From what I have read the fixes have been so far If I was in a sprint planning meeting with those fixes I would put them each down as a level 1. This would equate to a day or 2 days of a single developer. How long has it been since release? So you have to then think about commitment. If Himedia are not that commited then I have to rethink which hardware I will use going forward.

Yeah bought one this morning, wife is gonna kill me! ;-)


RE: HiMedia Q5/Q10 Pro (2016) with Kodi: Reviews & Utilization - UHD TV - 2016-05-19

Also I would like the option to sign up for beta firmware .... not neccessarily Nightly firmware, but maybe weekly or fortnightly


RE: HiMedia Q5/Q10 Pro (2016) with Kodi: Reviews & Utilization - hdmkv - 2016-05-20

HiMedia seems to prefer f/w's more spread out, and tested by a small beta test group, before releasing. I'd also prefer more frequent, smaller updates, but can understand their approach to control releases so it's a couple of steps forward at a time, and less of couple of steps forward with some things broken in the process.

So, it looks like Himedia has dropped Dolby Vision from their products? There is no mention of it on either the Q10 Pro or Q5 Pro descriptions.
