OFFICIAL Q10 PRO FIRMWARE. FUTEKO. HMD-2.0.9 2018-07-10

[pranjandas]

Dear Futeko,

I am not able to upgrade from OFW 2.0.8 to OFW 2.0.9. I am following the procedure as mentioned in the thread. Everytime it rolls back to OFW 2.0.7. Colored logo appears but soon after within 10 seconds the Himedia logo appears and the installed FW is 2.0.7 only. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Somehow got the FW 2.0.9 installed. Actually changed the USB Stick and the install was successful.

Biggest setback is Amazon Prime Video even after applying patch which was generously developed by @pchristi is NOT working with 2.0.9. Besides, there are occasional stuck up of Google Play Store.

So far happy with Youtube & Himedia Player.

For  Amazon Prime Video try original patch of @tomeeli for FW v2.0.8 witch need to be OK for original HiMedia FW v.2.0.9 too.

Thanks to pempek40, Joker and stl for your 'Youtube for Android TV' feedback.

I've spent all afternoon on this. I went down to version 2.00.17, which worked and then up to version 2.02.14 again, which now works (SD/HD/4K). But re-installing version 2.03.04 was a step too far and crashed on most videos  .

I've settled on version 2.02.14 until someone sorts the bugs out  .

Hi Futeko.
It is possible to write to HiMedia the list of unresolved bugs, which we have been dragging on for a long time, such as the problem of the 720x576 aspect ratio.
http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=2576.0

Thank you

I regularly forward a list of bugs to himedia. e.g., after 2.0.8:

* Directories/Filenames with special characters will not play himediaplayer / kodi+wrapper. e.g. # [] ().

* Some subtitle lines not shown when pause between subtitles is <1ms. srt. Was OK in 2.0.6, broken in 2.0.7 and 2.0.8.

Samples:

* 720x576 video (e.g. PAL DVD) aspect ratio incorrect. Squashed horizontally. OK in 2.0.4 and earlier, broken in all subsequent firmware.

e.g., after 2.0.7:

** Squashed image when playing 720x576 files (i.e. all PAL format DVD). REGRESSION 2.0.5/2.0.6/2.0.7 (OK IN 2.0.4). Himediaplayer. Samples and explanation: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=2576.0

** SPACES IN TOP FOLDER OF MOVIE DIRECTORY STOPS SHARE BEING VISIBLE IN MEDIA CENTER. http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=812.msg21659#msg21659

** Himediaplayer cannot find any non-Chinese subtitles.

** Audio delay when playing anything through RCA outputs.

** Kodi wrapper crashes when video filename contains special characters (e.g. # or &). These are very common in titles so this is a big problem.

** Subtitle time adjust delay function is too short, only allows "+/-" 10 seconds

** Some AVI files don't play in Himediaplayer Regression from 2.0.6. http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=711.msg22068#msg22068

** Possible framerate slowdown with 2.0.7. Not earlier firmwares. http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=2834.0

** Subtitle lines not displayed 2.0.7 only. http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=812.msg22293#msg22293

** Deleting files using Samba does not free up space on HDD in Q10 Pro. http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=2646.msg22292#msg22292

So HiMedia are aware of the key bugs.

I will contact them in a few days with whatever new 2.0.9 throws up plus what has not been fixed.

Hi futeko, do you know if these bugs are already in the bug list?

** Kodi wrapper crashes when video filename contains special characters (e.g. # or &). These are very common in titles so this is a big problem.
** Subtitle time adjust delay function is too short on Kodi wrapper, only allows "+/-" 10 seconds. Allow more.


They were reported by me and it seems not fixed yet.

Thanks in advance!

Not Android 7 version, but 1.0.9 surely did support it. Does it have any necessity? 2.0.6 is an Android 7 version too and they could make it work, so...?

Today, after installing the latest software, she was greeted with such a surprise ......I do not have the strength for this equipment anymore , the time has come to look for alternatives.

Installed "HMD-2.0.9 2018-07-10" but  "youtube for android tv (2.03.04)"  is now crashing when I attempt to play a 4k video.

SD videos played OK but once I try to play a 4k video I get the" Youtube keeps stopping" and after that even SD videos all fail.

I uninstalled and re-installed "youtube for android tv (2.02.14)" but this also does the same when a 4k video is accessed.

Can anyone else confirm this?

After already a month Google fix they bug form YouTube for Android TV v2.03.04, on newest apk v2.03.06.

Ok, so not even YT ATV works with this NEW  FW...  Improvements, bug fixes, advancing the user experience, expanding compatibility, adding new features, refining exiting ones, based on "REAL" user (!CUSTOMER!)  experiences, reports, complains, and expectations etc... -> That's  what HiMedia's support and firmware development is about? - Guess what....?  (Just read back)->   Make you'r own conclusion...

@Mount81
HiMedia can't solve Google buggy YT ATV 2.03.04, I will check later report of @haovh_85 as not working YT ATV 2.03.06 of CFW 2.0.8 him show differnt crash screen then I know as Google bug of YT ATV 2.03.04 on HiSilicon SDK.
HiMedia can get fixed HiSilicon SDK for YT ATV 2.03.04, but will see if rely need to avoid Google bug.
Google YT ATV 2.03.04 bug is present for all device base on  HiSilicon SDK Android 5.1.1/7.0 except last Android 7.0 FW(20180703) for U5mini/U5PVR where bug is avoided.

There was no software that would make this equipment stable,I test all from the very beginning.In 2.08, this problem was not there, but they were different.

Look like reading Dolby Vision information inside of HDR form unsupported HDR(track1)&DV(track2) UHD remux to mkv, you get same problem with ISO/BDMV disk?
