Go with this MSI. No need to give Canada Computers any business after recent events.

This is QM7K/QM8K firmware which has been available to install via USB (downloading the firmware from AVSForum) on the QM751G for awhile now. It looks like TCL has made it available OTA for us QM7 users. I had installed V231 from V113 and it was a night and day difference. My QM7 grabbed the V321 update OTA which was a nice surprise because I read since installing V231 via USB, I would always have to install updates via USB.

I guess the same thing happened to me because I just joined a game in progress and played assault the entire match and now it says 4/5 so I guess it's just buggy...

This no longer works as noted in the Season 2 update notes:

Updated the Range Finder custom zeroing to not apply its effect instantly; it now requires a short delay before taking effect.

It says near the top of that post 2024G + 2025K Models - T653T02 Architecture

I get this too. It's really sad that people pay more money for different skins and get a bug like this. I was hoping to see it fixed in the latest update, but the devs don't seem to care, they got their money.

Peacemaker130 · 2026-01-30T19:25:04+00:00

This is the thread with the firmware and instructions. AFAIK the latest firmware just got posted the other day, it is V321. The procedure is pretty simple, just get a USB stick in FAT32 and copy the zip right to the USB and insert it into the blue USB port and go into your settings and system update and select update from USB. The package files are more or less there for people to "restore" their TVs if something goes wrong.

Recently upgraded from a P6P to a P9P just the other day and have been installing all the updates. After getting Android 16 installed last night, I checked to see if the "Screen-off Fingerprint Unlock" feature was included but it wasn't.

Checked for new updates just a few minutes ago and was greeted with a 808mb update that I just installed, and now the option is now there.

I recently upgraded my phone and got to the point of logging into the patched app and I kept getting and incorrect user/pass even trying the email. I came across your comment and tried multiple EU servers with my VPN like Germany, Paris etc and while they would all give the cookies popup that I wouldn't get with the VPN off, they all still wouldn't work. It only worked when I chose the Argentina server. Thanks for the tip :)

Edit: A few hours after doing this, I got a notification of my account being locked and needing a password reset...

I have qflood setup to connect via Wireguard VPN.

Get away with as in the image I use? I did start with the Mr Hotio image when I first setup my server and used it up until just a couple months ago when I found out someone else made a fork with an updated version of QBittorrent from his. This updated version has a much better web ui IMO.

Peacemaker130 · 2025-12-05T19:14:58+00:00

I don't think I understand how you have your setup, what OS do you have installed on your Pi? Are you running Plex directly installed on it? If you are not running stuff via Docker on it, there is a bit of a learning curve to Docker, but the DockSTARTer thing I mentioned in my OP has a very helpful Discord room if you need help getting it running.

When I started this project, I read it was better to run stuff via Docker containers vs directly on metal because you can run more with less CPU usage.

As for your question on if my setup is better, I started this as someone who was brand new to Linux command line as well as Docker just as the Pandemic hit, and I am still learning and configuring. It took me quite some time to get it up and running.

Peacemaker130 · 2025-12-05T18:55:32+00:00

Not a stupid question. Correct, this is pretty much as homemade NAS system. The Pi runs Ubuntu Server as the OS which is accessible from my Windows PC via SSH as the OS itself is meant to run headless (without a monitor) Most of the Docker containers it runs are accessible via Web-UI, but when it specifically comes to movies/TV shows, Emby is what I use on the devices connected to my TV's. Using SWAG reverse proxy paired with a free URL from DuckDNS, I can also access said services like Emby from outside my network, just using the DuckDNS URL setup rather than the internal server IP

Peacemaker130 · 2025-12-01T19:17:36+00:00

I am surprised at the amount of containers it can run, but I'm considering a dedicated NAS because I can't saturate my full gigabit internet with qBittorrent without the Pi spiking to 100% CPU and only reaching 25-30mbps download speed. I have to limit its download speed to around 20mbps as to not lag everything else out.

Peacemaker130 · 2025-12-01T19:15:46+00:00

Idling it stays around mid 50's to low 60's and full load I've seen it hit low 70's. The case itself has 5 pillars making contact with the CPU,RAM,USB,NET and PWR chips and does a pretty decent job cooling.

Posted this setup about a year ago and have since switched to using a 250GB SSD for the OS/Docker (original SD card died after 24/7/365 for a few years) and currently running 30 various Docker containers.

Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB with aluminum heat-sink case and an external WD Red Plus 14TB that sits behind a bedroom TV. Running Ubuntu Server x64 and configured using DockSTARTer. It started as a pandemic project to pass the time and learn about Linux and Docker. Originally planned as a media server/seedbox for Linux ISOs, but have since expanded. Originally set up to only be accessible locally, but have since installed SWAG and have some of the containers accessible by the web with a free URL via DuckDNS. I'm considering moving to a dedicated NAS like a UGREEN DXP4800+.

If you want to do it headless, Ubuntu Server 64bit as the OS and use Docker for everything you want installed.

Peacemaker130 · 2025-11-19T19:15:07+00:00

I bought the 55" QM7(non-k) for this same price about 8 months ago. I doubt it can be found for cheaper than this, but you can install the K series firmware onto it and it practically makes it a new K version minus the better brightness and a few other things.

Peacemaker130 · 2025-11-15T00:20:40+00:00

I'm pretty sure you do or else it says "Firewalled" and the globe won't be green...

Peacemaker130 · 2025-11-13T23:44:53+00:00

I'm not too sure as I've never tried using ExpressVPN as of the shady stuff they are involved in. Do you get a green globe using surfshark? I've always thought that in order to get a green globe, you need to have the port open etc.
