Q10 PRO FIRMWARE. 1.0.6-FUTEKO-EN. HMD-1.0.6 2016-07-07.151525 (updated)

[Transit266]

I have downloaded the file, but can you please explain why I need to use a pin etc. why can't I simply plug in usb go to settings and use the upgrade and choose usb as the option?

A clean install will be better for repair defaults of previous firmware, just like format then install window vs upgrade directly over previous version of Window

Does this firmware fix the frame rate switching issues?

It auto-switches correctly at all resolutions for 23.976/24/25. Including below 1080p.

But not for 29.97/59.94. Full and better controlled auto-switching will come in future firmware. In the meantime full switching can be achieved via the pcristi patch: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1043.0

WOOT WOOT.  looking forward to trying this out when I get home..  Right how do I get out of the office early

I should have also asked does the pen drive need to be formatted in FAT or NTFS or doesn't it matter?

Upgraded following the Menu procedure without any problems. Did not see the UI-error this time.
Will repeat with the pin-procedure whenever in doubt about a new error.

Everything seems to run just fine. Will go over my own report this weekend and will document changes/effects.
Will also install the auto-framerate script of pcristi as I run a mix of PAL and NTSC based DVD''s.

Do you still need to install (or beneficial)  the wrapper for Kodi after the firmware update? Also after new firmware install Kodi had an update on the Google apps which I carried out.

[magnifico]

If the App is still present the answer is an easy YES.
Even if....worst case would be the installation info...that wrapper was already present.
So need to ask!

Hello!

I have a question regrding the firmware upgrade (this is my first time I upgrade such a thing):

Your description says: . (the USB pen drive should contain a single file called 'update.zip').->This sounds a bit confusing.

What does that mean precisely? It means that I must have both the unzipped content and the downloaded original update.zip file  in the root of the pendrive?

The instruction here is a bit cloudy and I'm not sure what supposed I dig under "single file". Could you be a bit more specific, please?

Thank you!

There should be only one file on the pen drive, the 'update.zip' file.

You'll find this file inside the firmware package (i.e. 'Q10_PRO_FIRMWARE._1.0.5-FUTEKO-EN._HMD-1.0.5_2016-07-07.151525.zip').

So extract 'update.zip' from the package zip to the pen drive.

As below (using Linux Mint file manager)

Is seem slightly different: now there are two option (with or without samba password)
How it works now?

Just finished updating to this firmware. Iam still unable to bitstream TrueHD Atmos files and DTS-HD-MA through the Kodi Wrapper. All Atmos files are reverting to stereo on my Marantz 7009 receiver and DTS-HD-MA are showing up as DTS Surround. Was this release meant to be fix these issue with the Kodi wrapper desampling down the original sound? I tested on my HTPC and have no issue b**ing the native sound without any desampling.

Are there any work arounds as one of the key features was to be able to bitstream native sound given the Q10's hardware should be more than capable.

ATMOS and DTS-HD MA should and do bitstream correctly via Kodi+wrapper. They did on previous firmware and do on this one too.

Settings in Setting - Playback should be HDMI Output: RAW. SPDIF Output: Close. HBR Output: RAW7.1.

Since Ive had the device I have not been able to bitstream ATMOS and DTS-HD MA on all the released firmware revisions.
The only setting I had in playback that was different was the SPDIF which was RAW and just set to close and this did not fix my issue.

I also checked the Video Settings in Kodi "expert level" to allow bitstream and DTS capable receiver option and still no full bitstream via Kodi.

Is the Wrapper settings in the Apps page meant to be set to Kodi or Wrapper player?

[futeko.com]

If you use the wrapper then Kodi audio settings make no difference.

Setting for the wrapper are the main system settings. i.e. Settings - Playback from home screen.

It should definitely work. We had a few problems with Denon amps in particular, some of which were resolved by updating the firmware on the amp. That might be worth a go. http://firmware.marantz.eu/index.php

When I used the "Media Centre" app via UPNP to my server this streams atmos and all other formats no issue...
I have the latest firmware from Marantz so Im thinking theres an issue with Kodi or the wrapper at this point as the native Media Centre app isnt having an issue.
