Q10 PRO FIRMWARE. ANDROID 7. FUTEKO. HMD-2.0.3 2017-04-12.095905

I think HiMedia Left the building? We hear nothing about an update and this latest update is one big drama!

Seriously, I haven't seen Futeko for a while now. The last "update" we got is that the developers will give us an update on the next firmware and solutions to old and new problems after Easter. Was it Easter 2017 or 2018?

Hi! Not shure im in the right place, but i have a problem after updating to Kodi 17.1. I lost the command button(right corner below direction wheel) that access the "submenu" for adding Movies, Movie info and some other commands. Does anyone know if this command is in the Kodi controller setup(or maybe its just for game controllers)  and if so, what it is called? Or is it something from the Q10 Pro setup?

The remote control remapping is a Kodi 17.1 special!

Full details to disable Joystick Support are shown on this thread (courtesy of @pcristi):

I am still running the suggested Kodi 17.2RC release in the same thread, with no issues.

Installed 17.2 and so far all buttons Works as normal, but not the menu button. But found out that it is X button on Xbox Controller so just put in the new command and now it works perfect.

Thanks for the info

I post practically every day. Especially during the week.

There is a private beta bug-fix 2.0.4, so 2.0.4 bug-fix firmware will come soon.

I/we/all wait for HiSilicon/HiMedia to add 7.1 audio support to native Kodi player and fix HDR unusual aspect ratio problem, I have no specific update.

I'm waiting for 2.0.4 as this version is very buggy..
So I have not tried the wallpaper feature.

I have some questions about it for when I do decide  to try.

I have 2 q10pro.
And have a nas with media I will use for streaming to the q10pros.

Does the wallpaper download art work and add to the directories of the media files, or does it add artwork internal in each player..

If artwork  are indeed added to media file directories, will scanning on wallpaper app, use the art work thst is there already instead of re fetching from net?..

This would be very desired if using 2 q10pro, as each player could look at media files locations, and use the existing artwork...

Thanks for answers...

Do you have a list of the fixes included in 2.0.4? I am still on 2.0.1 and using Kodi 16.1 to avoid all the headaches introduced by 2.0.3 and Kodi 17.

Is there any chance we get a bug free and user friendly firmware soon ? I don't want to waste my time going through custom patches and scripts to get what I need from this box.
I might just leave the box for my kids and their cartoons and just invest in a HTPC to avoid this android debacle and get a proper setup for watching movies without the hassle.

2.  Fixed the issue of 24hz ,Be consistent with android 5.1
3.  Fixed the issue of stuttering in video playback when adjusting subtitle timing
4.  Fixed the issue of edge color anomaly while shrinking display area

Exactly Nick! Where is the professionalism here  ?

You don't need to install any of the patches.

With 1.1.0 or 2.0.1 firmware HiMedia Q5/Q10 Pro are fully functional for most users.

Are they looking to add the fix for HDR Aspect Ratio on this 2.0.4 version still ? Due to the fact Kodi native player works fine with those HDR files (except there is no HD audio), I would imagine this requires a fix only on the Himedia Native player, and not the actual firmware.

[futeko.com]

HDR aspect ratio fix and Kodi native player passthrough will come in the firmware after 2.0.4.

2.0.4 is a bug fix for 2.0.3.

This is pathetic...I have been waiting patiently for a long time, but now there's not even a confirmed date for these major fixes. 
After 2.04 has no meaning, as it could be even until v3.0!
I still cannot see 4K HDR content even after a year of purchase of this "box". And BD menu is nowhere in sight. Time to move on I guess.

Futeko, is Egreat A5/ A10 a good option? Or maybe I should go for Oppo 203...

[futeko.com]

As it happens, the firmware with HDR unusual aspect ratio fix will probably be called 3.0. HiMedia still say mid May, although with 2.0.4 not out yet this date will probably slip.

At this moment in time Egreat A5/A10 firmware is better for media playback using Egreat media player. It has BD menus, the interface is better, poster wall etc. Egreat are also waiting for the HiSilicon HDR unsual aspect ratio fix though, so Egreat A5/A10 will not help with that. HiMedia are better for Kodi because  they have the wrapper. To get full hardware on Egreat you need to use VidonXBMC, which is based on Kodi 16.1.
