Hi all,

One strange thing, here at Futeko the latest firmware available dated 17. January is named "final". At German myhdplayer the same (?) firmware is named "beta"...
-
hello,
anybody root the device ?
-
A new version was uploaded today (28-JAN) which fixes Chrome / Spotify not being available in Play Store.
The download link and thread title have not been changed.
-
Now it is possible to install Spotify from the market, but it closes after starting. So Spotify is not working on Q5-4K3D. :-[

Thanks for your reply. I know that's possible to install manually an older version what is running on the device. But it would be nice to install the latest version from the play store.

You have the Chinese version of the Q5 3D4K. It's different hardware to the European version we sell and not compatible with the European firmware. The product we sell has Play Store and runs all the apps you mention.
-
Hello just got my box today
but why is it getting so very hot
.
and why do it make my onkyo not working with hdmi control with my tv. but when I take hdmi out of the box it's OK again
-
Hello admin . Is there a new firmware on the planning ?
-
Hello admin . Is there a new firmware on the planning ?
Yes. I have no fixed release date but there will be new firmware to address the little bugs and also possibly a new launcher.
The box runs warm, but it shouldn't be very hot. It has no fan so the external metal casing is designed to act a bit like a heatsink.
-
It gets so hot I can't touch it
-
What are you doing with it when it gets that hot? Does it get hot when turned on but not doing anything?
-
It's when I see a movie
-
Yes. I have no fixed release date but there will be new firmware to address the little bugs and also possibly a new launcher.
fix autowitch fps 50<>60 or 60<>50 hrz , pleeeeeeeease :'(

With a European Q5 4K3D? I ask because you mention in a previous post that you have the Chinese hardware version.
If it's with the European hardware, what file type are you having this problem with? Can you post / email us a sample file so we can test it?
-
Hello . I send the other one back and I bought one from futeko
-
It's mkv . Iso .
The sound is OK for 20 min then it starts to go wrong like it stops .

A very unusual problem and I have no explanation for why it might be happening. If it were a specific file/codec type than it might be a bug, but for you to get this behaviour on all files it sounds like a hardware problem. If you email us (mail@futeko.com) we can arrange a return/replacement.

Hello admin is the new update also coming for the q5
The audio and all is fine now I installed the mediawrapper
-
There will be an update to 1.0.8 soon (HiMedia have mentioned April 25th as a possible date).
It will include a new launcher, Kodi 14.2 with wrapper pre-installed, Chrome browser as default browser and a lot of bug fixes. I don't have details of the bug fixes yet.

This was a problem with the very early firmwares. All our boxes sold after ~ Dec 2014 have this fixed.
See the post at the bottom of page 1 of this thread (here: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=43.msg191#msg191) for how to fix it. You'll only have to follow the instructions once and then the box will be fixed permanently.

Dear Futeko,

Thx in advance
