OFFICIAL Q10 PRO FIRMWARE. FUTEKO. HMD-2.0.4 2017-07-05

[DSpawn]

Well, the latest update is full of issues. I have a lot off apps that can't run, they simply close (Nova launcher, video players and others), I can't change the default  launcher.
Also the lan communication is slow as hell.


I did also a factory reset, hoping it will fix the issue but it didn't. Any idea what I can do? other than installing previews versions...

Also, most of my applications do not work The latest version of Spotify and N7Player .

Updated the FW from 2.0.1 to 2.0.4 (Had uninstalled 2.0.3 due to serious issues already discussed in other threads). Facing following issues:

1. The Mii 3 Remote freezes occassionally. Buttons cease to function with this FW.

2. While playing a downloaded content through Media Center of the App, the player auto restarts when you change a setting by pressing the Menu icon of the remote. Unlike earlier, you cant drag a video to a desired time as there is no such functionality in the new media player with this FW. Only remote buttons of fast Forward and Fast Backward work with X2, X4 etc pre settings. It is highly inconvenient.

3. Youtube App force restarts occassionally much cause to worry as I watch You tube a lot.

4. No Amazon Prime Video working.

From the CFW 2.0.4 changelog: - New HiMediaVideoPlayer(VideoPlayer VideoPlay) not accept AirMouse/HiControl inputs.

I have asked and the HiMediaPlayer version is the same in both in 2.0.4 CFW and in the official. Don't know if they're related, but it seams that something is definitely buggy here with the airmouse support. Just another reason why not to install this -otherwise promising at first glance- update.

I wonder why others with the MX3 airmouse supplied din't reported the malfunction so far. :

The new version of himediaplayer works with an airmouse if you disable the mouse cursor. It was designed for the IR remote.

So, on the Rii MX3-M for example, you can just press the arrow button to disable airmouse and it can be controlled normally with remote d-button.

I agree that it should also work with the mouse cursor. This has been passed to Himedia.

I can definitely observed that subtitle bug still present, in that subtitles with zero pause between lines are skipped. Cheers.

So nobody can answer why is this update so broken ? Or how can we fix it? The box is unusable at this point....

How did you upgrade to 2.0.4? Are you using the official 2.0.4? I had some issues myself with official 2.0.4, but the latest CFW 2.0.4 fixed a lot of those issues.

This update isn't broken, thousands of users have downloaded (and I presume installed) it and the feedback has been generally good.

Well, the latest update is full of issues. I have a lot off apps that can't run, they simply close (Nova launcher, video players and others), I can't change the default  launcher.
Also the lan communication is slow as hell.

If you've come from Android 5.1 then some apps might not be compatible with Android 7. Most are, but if the app developers can't be bothered to provide updates that is not the fault of HiMedia.

To change default launcher, from FAQ: * Change default launcher? In some firmwares (notably 2.0.4) you cannot change default launcher. There are two solutions: 1. http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=711.msg13152#msg13152 2. Install one of the CS custom firmwares, where launcher can be changed: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=812.0

LAN is still very fast (~65MB/s), but some users report that it's slightly slower than earlier firmware (~80MB/s). This has been passed to Himedia and they'll look at tweaking it in future firmware.

In the end, nobody is forcing you to use latest firmware. If the earlier firmware (Android 5.1) suits your needs better then use it instead.

Hi, I've installed 2.04 custom firmware, and everything seems Good so far.

1 thing that I notice and am still a bit confused is on playing Blu-Ray TV Show with menu just like DVD Menu.
For example : Blu-Ray "Friends" Season 8 where the folder contains several episodes.
Kodi won't play.
It will work only if I browse to the file folder, and select index.bdmv by hold & press, then choose "Play using..", I choose Video Player,
then it plays but only first episode, then stop. It doesn't continue to next episode, nor show the Blu-Ray / DVD Menu where we can choose the episodes.

I finally seems to be able to play it correctly (show menu) if I change the wrapper setting to Kodi Player.

Could somebody confirm on these below :
1. If we want to play Blu-Ray with correct audio, framerate, etc, better set wrapper to use himedia internal video player.
2. if we need to play DVD Menu DVD or Blu-Ray copy, then we need to set to Kodi player.
Is that correct ?

Is there any other simpler solution then to change wrapper setting ?
Do we need to restart / reboot Q10 Pro everytime we change wrapper setting for it to take effect ?

Will Futeko enhance their internal  video player to be able to play DVD Menu correctly ? in the coming firmware probably ?

Thanks.

1. BD-ISO with 5.1 audio and at correct framrate is possible with Kodi internal player and the Kodi auto-framerate add-on. If you want 7.1 audio you will need to use wrapper.
2. To play DVD or BD menus you need to use Kodi internal player. Himediaplayer (wrapper) will play them using a custom simple menu.

You only need to restart Kodi for new wrapper setting to take effect.

Will there be a dvd.iso patch  with himediaplaer or do we have to wait for the next fw?

Hi, Futeko, Thanks.
I would like my regular Blu-Ray (BDMV structure and 3D ISO) are played using HiMedia Internal Player, while BluRay (TV Show) with DVD/BD Menu using Kodi Internal Player.
Could you please advise on the mod I need to make in the coreplayerfactory ?
Thank you so much in advance.
