This firmware does not have the HiMedia Kodi wrapper pre-installed (HiMedia have decided that this is best) so if you want 7.1 audio and 3D support in Kodi you will have to install it.
The wrapper has been tested by us on the pre-installed Kodi 14.2 and Kodi 15.0 alpha2 and works fine.
See here for download and installation instructions: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=60.0
Apps we've tested as available in Play Store and working include: BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, Spotify, Youtube, Kodi 14.2, Kodi 15.0, Netflix.

Hello Futeko,
please let me know if YouTube is really working normally. With 1.0.7 all videos were stuttering and I have to use Viral instead with GPU acceleration OFF. Is it fixed with this FW?
-
For a certain reason, Kodi cannot be updated, I tried uninstalling 14.2 and installing 15 it keeps reverting back to 14.2 when restarted. Same goes for Chrome, it updates and then reverts back to the installed version. Although the interface looks prettier, but this version is not as stable as 1.0.7....I will revert back to 1.0.7 for the time being.

Try to put in an USB key the Kodi 15 in APK file and try bu this way. Think it will work without problem....

I tried it severally

@tzawk
This is have because of safety script.
HiMedia forced to have Kodi and Chrome installed for new Launcher
if box not rooted try
- uninstall Kodi 14.2
- don't reboot
- install any version you like
- reboot
- maybe not revers back to original
if box is rooted will work like this
- uninstall Kodi 14.2
- deleted kodi.apk form /system/etc/
- reboot
- install any version you like

My box is not Rooted....and I don't know how to root it. I did some online research and I found rooting procedure in Chinese and German. I don't understand any of these languages.....do you know how to root this box?
-
HiMedia will have a fix for the Kodi/Chrome updating problem within a few days. We don't recommend rooting the Q5.
-
Dolphin Browser won't play YouTube vids, will only play the audio with a black screen. I love Dolphin.
Change Luancher Q5 back 1.0.7.

having used the Chinese version of this Box, I really wish Himedia could only translate everything into English and keep the configuration intact.

Do you mean all the 'free' streaming content? There are obvious reasons why a box with that firmware could not be sold in Europe..
The underlying firmware for the European and Chinese versions is very similar. The main difference is the HiTV interface which gives access to Chinese streaming services.
With the 1.0.8 firmware the launcher can be changed. So if people don't like the new launcher it can be replaced by Nova, Apex, Go etc available free from Play Store.
My personal opinion is that the new launcher is better. It's a cleaner and simpler design and more customisable. The problems with Kodi/Chrome update will be fixed soon.

just like to say thank you works like a charm for me plus wrapper :)

Some notices about the new firmware:
- Connection with SMB share and in guest(without user and password) or with admin user and password.
For me with Kodi 14.2 and HimediaWrapper same problem, not work as well, only in Hard Disk in the Himedia works fine.
- Even if we make choice by IP Address like 192.XXX.XXX.XXX\share folder with and without user and password, not work very well but:
One thing. After sharing and have your library movie\Tv... you can have the Himediawrapper working fine if you make this way.
- Just go to Home menu and use the LAN way to open first one of your movie in the network line. You can notice that the movie works fine without problem with Himediawrapper even if you put an admin user and password way and make choice to keep like this.
- After this operation you can open again the Kodi software and try to open the SMB sharing by playing a movie and whatever you want, bingo you can see the Himediawrapper working fine.
I try many tests and even if you use the Himediawrapper with an guest account without user and password and also an admin account with user and password, same way doesn't work correctly.
So Admin, Futeko team can you please fix that way and include in the next firmware this bug. The best way is of course to play all movies with Himediawrapper to have the best audio HD, DTS-MA and TrueHD sound. It will be very very nice way for all of us. :) :)
Thanks for your support.
