Just re-apply the Bluray patch and thereafter good to go as what bro ralfale mentioned.

 

Didn’t notice any significance differences in the PQ and SQ.

 

 

What I got from Himedia is a DIY firmware that include the Blue-ray menu, I do not have the patch file.

Anyone using this new function - Support Blu-ray effects subtitles

 

What's the use case?

 

seems the subtitle support still have big room for improvement. 2.07 resolve part of BD GPS special subtitle support but not perfect, many users feedback with the 2.07 firmware, special effect subtitles in ass format also got display issue, while sup format special effect subtitle supports are still not there.....

Hey guys,

 

What do you all use your Q10 Pro or Q5 Pro for besides watching mkv or iso rips?

 

I'm presently using it to store and watch my rip files of the original blurays that i own. But then i find the quality of the ISO rips (even if it's 1:1 rip), abit lacking when i watch it on my 4k projector. The reduction of quality is there. And I still own my bluray titles. My only real incentive of continuing on this is to digitize my entire bluray collection so that it would spoil and save and back it up on my NAS. I don't do illegal downloads and if i ever sell my blurays, i feel i shouldn't own the digital copy. But this is personal.

 

So I was wondering what else can you guys do with your android media player to get more value and mileage out of it?

 

Thx

Just rename the file to update.zip from update_Q10pro.zip and place in root of USB drive and don't extract it.

 

Just leave it as a zip file and you are good to upgrade the firmware.

Finally I managed to update using zip folder. The earlier problem was that the folder was rename to update.zip.zip

really foolish of me.

Anyone using SPMC? I just realize that with current firmware, the audio passthrough function isn't working.

 

I'm also getting micro stutters when playing back 4K 23.976Hz files. Unfortunately my long run HDMI cable is only able to manage 10.2Gbs so I've set my resolution to 4K/24 4:4:4 10bits. 60Hz settings don't seem to work. Could the micro stutters be due to the 24Hz setting?

So which singer sings better?  ;D

 

Egreat with VidOn and Himedia is with Kodi and  the success for most Android players are using Kodi and not VidOn.

 

Not surprise that Egreat will switch to Kodi as the default player in the near future.

Q5 Pro bo stock.

 

Quick check at Lazada and Qoo10 found Q10 Pro only and at Aliexpress ... only Q5 Pro with Android 5.1 which is not recommended unless you are prepare to spend hours upgrading the OS to 7.0 and firmware.

 

Alternatively you can buy the Chinese version (you have to install Google and your preferred Apps from Play Store) from this website: https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=19731836098&spm=a230r.7195193.1997079397.8.ciL5Yf&abbucket=4&sku_properties=1627207:44502

 

Another option is to buy the EGreat ...

Are you able to get the audio passthrough to work on Kodi?

to use Kodi pass thru > system > audio > 5.1/7.7 > passthru enable > select all the decode on the list to match your AVR > exit > goto Q10pro setup > audio > digital > Raw / direct > restart Kodi.
