2. Which kodi version is in it? Can it be replaced with good old krypton?

2 Official Kodi 18.2 (180200) (http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/kodi-18.2-Leia-armeabi-v7a.apk).
Uninstalled as any user application, disable automatic update on Google play then install yours favorite Kodi version.

Using wrapper in kodi only one share is working, black screen for others 2.
Any advice?

Not working path have some special like symbol(#+) or extended character?
Hello and thanks.
No special symbols or extended characters.
I did a fresh install and now nothing works using wrapper in Kodi.
I can see Nfs shares but when i play a movie i get a blank screen and a grey band up saying Video Player .
Mediacenter works with wrapper.
Kodi player works.
-
Re-activate the Wrapper, see FAQ.

Re-activate the Wrapper, see FAQ.

Already done - no success
The only solution i found is to map shares with zeroconf browser.

@ pcristi
do you know if there a way to overclock a little bit the cpu of this box?
in other topic a user notice that the maximum frequency is less than it should be ( 1600mhz but its set a 1200 at max)
are there a way to fix the right frequency? thanks
-
1600mhz is not overclock for SoC Hi3798CV200, according datasheet Hi3798CV200 is "Quad-core 64-bit high-performance ARM Cortex A53, up to 2.0GHz,"
HiMedia choose for stability rezone over all models base on Hi3798CV200 to use 1200mhz, if need something else give a try of any CFW.

the movies are 24HZ if you put in 4k 50HZ does those lateral deformity poruqe does not match the original speed of the frame with the speed on your tv.
You should install the automatic change of frames, you have it in this forum, so you will automatically change from 50HZ to 24HZ and it will look good.

I'm doing something wrong? because I didn't get the restart... My pc and tvbox are in same network , all devices conected to a switch on my little home network.

In the last build was changed the system font and it's affect almost all APPs. The text, based on this font, in some of APPs looks too ugly. Pcristy, could you crete a patch to return back the font as used in your previous versions, please. I like so much this your launcher, using in all of my Q5Pro and Q10Pro devices and fully satisfied, especially with the last build, where included so expected for a long time CEC control! All demanded features are there now.
It's looks like it will be the final version I will use until the HW will be actual. Thank you very much for your nice work!
