Hi,
i got Himedia Q5-II box a few weeks ago, and as many of you i faced the xbmc problem also. I updated the Himedia to the newer firmware immediately after i received it. Then i installed xbmc. But the program crashes immediately after playing a video or a live stream. I tried all xbmc alternatives but the result it was mostly the same. Then i noticed somewhere that the new firmware had many bugs and crashes so i revert back to the old firmware. After that i installed the last official version from xbmc site and it worked like a sharm. Now i didn't have the opportunity to test it with full hd movie, but with 720p in 1channel and dailyx it worked flawless. I will test the full hd also and i will let you know. Also another version which worked (with the new firmware also) is the monthly build ghotam but till version 8, later versions will crash. Alpha 7 & 8 worked pretty well but the have some minor bugs and stability problems as they are beta versions.
Hope it can help.
Best regards!
