Post from another forum, the firmware is working fine in my Q10 Pro.
If you have an older version, the order should be 2.04->2.1.4->2.1.7, versions in between install the next one in the list.

Software package:
- Google Playstore
- Spotify app
- Disney +
- Prime Video
- Newer Netflix app
Install the same way as the firmware, rename downloaded file to update.zip (if you don't see the ".zip" DON'T add it, just rename to update because Windows is hiding the extension).

Q30 and Q100:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/hd6oq3k34riwqbw/file
What's New:
- Optimization for compatibility of external player programs (see Settings / Advance / Display / HDCP switch and settings and Close the system navigation bar )
- Optimization of the application manager for loading and launching applications on Android TV.
- CEC support for TV / amplifier control ( Settings / Advance / Standby / HDMI CEC )
- Fixed black screen error when playing from local storage when HDCP was enabled.
A clean install is recommended, an upgrade via settings menu should be fine if you have 2.1.6:
1. Copy the downloaded file to the root of a FAT32 formatted USB pen drive, the USB pen drive should contain a single file called 'update.zip'
2. Insert the USB pen drive into any USB port of Q10 Pro.
3. With Q10 Pro turned off, use a paper clip or pen to press and hold the the pinhole UPGRADE/RESET button on the back of Q10 Pro (next to the power port).
4. While keeping the UPGRADE button pressed, turn on the Q10 Pro.
5. Q10 Pro will show the Android 7 colored circle logo.
6. When you see the circle logo you can release the restore button.
7. A progress bar will indicate update progress. Do not turn box off or use the box/remote during update!
8. When update is complete the box will automatically reboot.
Release tips:
- The image is flickering while playing a video? Disable Imprex engine in Himedia Player (will affect all players);
- Want to change the color-space? Press 0351 before entering the advance settings;
- Kodi isn't responding to the remote as it should? Disable joystick support in Kodi addons.
-
You need to rename it to "update.zip"
You don't need to rename it, the downloaded file already as the name update.zip. Just copy the file to a USB flash drive. If you don't see the extension .zip don't care about it, it's fine.

https://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=4847.msg31567#msg31567
It is possible to solve with the pcristi patch (thanks)
-
The instruction post states, that the update file for the Q10 Pro linked on the himedia.hu site is wrong. What is the ground of this, what's wrong with that version exactly? And what is the difference between that and this (right?) one linked in directly here?
And can this 2.1.7 be flashed directly up from i.e. the 2.1.1 FW, or isn't it necessary to update to 2.1.6 first?
Thanks!

I upgraded my firmware from pristi's custom firmware 1.6 to the new official 2.17 everything went ok first time. However I find the new firmware when using Kodi for playback (as I did in custom 1.6) the picture was inferior. This changed for the better when I used the inbuilt media player (after I had turned off the imperex engine) I still think that pristi's custom firmware is more or less on par if a shade less bright. In the new 1.7 firmware I don't see any drop down boxes in the Advanced Settings for checking or altering 8bit or 10bit 4.4.4 resolutions is this somewhere else in this new firmware?

Press 0351 on the remote before entering the advanced settings menu to have access to the color space settings.
-
Thanks I will try those numbers to see if I can see these further adjustments out of interest. With respect to this firmware I have found the use of Kodi very frustrating as to jump chapters you now have to use the other key and the subtitle button doesn't work also I can't access any buttons like stop or subtitle keys inside kodi on the screen so for me unless you want to use the Himedia media player (picture is good though) its a no goer and I will revert to the custom firmware version much more sorted and useable for me. Thanks
-
Press 0351 on the remote before entering the advanced settings menu to have access to the color space settings.
I apologize for the question.
I have to press 0-3-5-1 in sequence
When am I in the setting section?
Thank you

That as nothing to do with the firmware, disable the joystick support on Kodi

Yes, then go into "Advance" and scroll to the bottom of the page and open Advance options
-
Thanks for the information.
-
Thanks for the 0351 and joystick tips very useful particularly as I found the default resolution wasn't correctly set for my tv panel changed to 10bit 4.4.4. now better.
-
My display (LG 65B6V) the maximum 10-bit setting I can set is 4.2.0. :(
-
With 4K / 60Hz or 50Hz / 10bit only 4:2:0 is supported (https://www.extron.com/article/hdmi2faq).
However, if this didn't changed since the 2.1.4 FW, the HiMedia Players color space auto switching, with freque switching working not so optimal (it should auto switch to 4:4:4 / 10bit with i.e. 23.976fps/Hz videos anyway, regardless what you have set in the Settings menu, but it doesn't do exactly). To get the best colorspace option for any videos up to 30fps/Hz, you must set manually the Player display settings to 4K / 30Hz / 4:4:4 / 10bit.
-
thanks for updating me
Sometimes I lose my memory, it will be age ;D
-
Most of my films are 23.976hz, I only have one which is 60hz therefore the 10bit 4;4;4 is the best option for my 10bit panel.

I've disabled joystick in MyAddons but the problems mentioned earlier re subtitle, chapter change button reversed, audio channel change, and lack of any controls in the lower kodi screen which you can use to carry out some of these functions is unavailable. Any thoughts from anyone?

Did you restart Kodi after disabling the joystick support?
-
Yes I restarted and rebooted but no luck the same problems exist, however, I have found a way to show the necessary settings in the bottom of the kodi player just hit menu on the remote and all the necessary subtitle, audio adjustments are there as usual along the bottom of the window.

It seems that HiControl app does not work anymore with firmware version 217, at least with my setup. Does anyone can still use this app on this firmware? Thank you.
-
For me HiControl still working well, device name is was change from TV Box to UHD PLAYER.
Please note can't be use when streaming HDCP + DRM L1 contend like Netflix.
-
Thank you pcristi for the feedback. Did a new clean installation of the firmware and the app works now.
-
For me, the HiControl app is unusable, when KODI is running (even if just in the background), so the Control app almost immediately closes when opened. Closing KODI eliminates the problem. Is this the same for everyone? (I'm still on official 2.1.1, but here's a little conversation about it).

Amazon prime app is not working. when I play the video it shows something went wrong error. "how to use DRM L1 advantages" to stream 4k videos in Netflix and amazon. sorry for the basic question

Need have box newest PCB(not led in ethernet connector) witch come with DRM L1 from factory.

Need have box newest PCB(not led in ethernet connector) witch come with DRM L1 from factory.
Is that anyway we can do it in existing box? for amazon prime video and Netflix to work in 4K?
may be reputative sorry for that.

Still no luck updating to 2.1.7 on my Q5 Pro, but my Q10 Pro took the update no problems, now on PCRistis CFW 2.1.7 on the Q10.
What am I doing wrong on the Q5? I was on CFW 2.1.4, went to OFW 2.1.4, tried to go to OFW 2.1.6 - nothing, tried to go to OFW 2.1.7 - nothing, now back on CFW 2.1.4, the only clue I have is that in the very first seconds of initial boot to CFW 2.1.4 I see a red backgrond and oddly coloured HIMEDIA logo, which then disappears and a few seconds later the correct looking HIMEDIA logo appears, is this a sign that I have an Android problem or some other software problem. Maybe I should go back to 2.1.1 and then up from there? Help please.
-
If I turn on the TV before the Q10 I see the Himedia logo and background with inverted colors for a second so I guess that's normal. Try to update via settings menu.
To completely start over install 2.0.4 followed by 2.1.4

Hi stl
In vpn settings normally there are 2 options
1 Always on VPN
2 Block connections without VPN
But in this update I do not find the 2 option.
Can you please ADD one?
Regards.
-
@mimicat43
look like OFW v2.1.7 have broken VPN settings.
Someone else can confirm if settings crash when try add/edit VPN connection on v2.1.7?

What a surprise: a new firmware :-)
We are having the official Firmware thread: https://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=711.0
Is this version 2.1.7 an official new firmware? Why are versions 2.1.5 - 2.1.7 not listed in the Q5/Q10 Pro Official Firmware thread?

Futeko.com apparently lost interest in the Himedia brand, doesn't sell it anymore and isn't actively supporting it. I completely understand why because I won't buy another Himedia product, the support given by the manufacturer is mediocre.
-
I have read some complains here, but it's still unclear, that if is there a general issue with the subtitle positioning option in HiMediaPayer with these new FW's and if yes, than what is it exactly?
Another question that raised up from another Forum regarding these new FW's that it might be some issues with 25fps video playback (blank screen). Are here any experiences regarding?
And any other -even minor- bugs that users here may have discovered since the update?
Thanks.

- VPN settings crash when try add/edit --> FW v2.1.7 (easy to fix on services.jar ActivityStarter for persist.sys.start.pkg)- HDCP 2.2 blackscreens when TV is power off/on or HDMI port is switched if box still ON FW v2.1.6/v2.1.7
- White power led when box power off from USB remote FW v2.1.6/v2.1.7 (better then on 2.1.4 2019-09 where box complet stack)
- All HiMediaVideoPlayer settings mess with save option per file and not global FW v2.1.4 2019-09-->v2.1.7
- WiFi always ON when open new settings (OvSettingsUI) FW v2.1.4-->v2.1.7
- Prime video/Google play not DD+ 5.1 passthrough
- HBO Android TV missing Playready DRM keys all models
- Older box PCB 1.x missing DRM L1 key
- Blackscreens over NFS playing Kodi + Wrapper from NAS FW v2.1.1-->v2.1.7
- Aspect ratio for 576p with DAR 16:9 FW v2.0.5-->v2.1.7
-

no wonder i can't select 10bit
-
For some reason videos played using the Kodi player no longer play correctly. It is like the video is in slow motion. Not sure what happened. The same version of Kodi (Leia 18.8) was on my 2.1.4 CFW and the same videos I have problems with worked fine.
Media Center and Wrapper work fine but I prefer Kodi player for subtitle purposes.
-
HDCP 2.2 blackscreens when TV is power off/on or HDMI port is switched if box still ON FW v2.1.6/v2.1.7
Doesn't it help if one turns off the CEC, HDMI auto adaptation and HDCP option in the Settings menu?
Or a CEC-less HDMI adapter maybe?
One user has also reported:
He upgraded from 2.1.4 to 2.1.7 and than back to 2.1.4, but this blackscreen issue (when switching HDMI outputs on the AVR) still exist for him. Could it be that some part of the 2.1.7 FW has "stuck" somehow between? And if yes, what could be here the solution? Ha has done all the updates with the "toothpick" method.
- All HiMediaVideoPlayer settings mess with save option per file and not global FW v2.1.4 2019-09-->v2.1.7
Does this issue also apply to the subtitle position settings?
- WiFi always ON when open new settings (OvSettingsUI) FW v2.1.4-->v2.1.7
The Wi-Fi is also always ON after every fresh bootup in 2.1.1, even if turned OFF in the Settings before.
---
And to add to the list:
SD 4:3 aspect ratio videos displayed incorrectly a bit "squeezed" horizontally. (There was a Thread dedicated for this issue, with pictures demonstrating the effect, but I just can't seem to find it now). From 2.1.1 FW and up for sure.

Hi,
I'm not totally satisfied with 2.1.7: I can't register a google account (clicking on "add account" in the advanced settings doesn't do anything) an so won't get automatic updates for Kodi...
I tried to downgrade to android 5 to update to 2.1.4 again using a firmware package that was supposed to be able to downgrade from 7 to 5 - but that didn't work...
I tried resetting the device after upgrading to 2.1.7 to get the account problem fixed but that didn't work.
I also read that the new update wasn't supposed to have Google services because of the U.S. trade restrictions - I'm curious why that should effect devices that have been on the market before the sanctions took effect?!?
Be that as it may: If anyone can tell me if I've overlooked something and tell me what I have to do to add a Google account I'd really appreciate that :-)

After you installed the firmware did you installed the software package?

Hi,
I must admit I feel kinda dumb right now: I had read that it had to be installed separately but hadn't found anything - if I had opened my eyes just a little bit wider I might have noticed the download links in the first post.... ;-)
Thanks for putting up with my stupidity :-)))))

noob here - few questions; how do i identify if i have or don't have old ver Q10 4K3D
my model on the sticker states "Himedia q10 pro" but if i google for Q10 4K3D they seem to look the same.
I am currently running 5.1.1, if I follow the structure of sequential upgrades (2.0.4,2.14) to 7 2.1.7 with the additional update of flix,amazon,disney,hulu (about time), will i be able to revert back to 5 if the end goal does not live to the expectation? (like the apps crashing - kids in house!!)
thank you for your help.

Downgrade from Android 7.0 v2.1.7 to Android 5.1.1 are still possible.
Enjoy yours Q10Pro box.
PS: Downgrade to Android 5.1.1 strong not recommended for box come with Android 7.0 and DRM L1 from factory.
-
thank you for your reply - all of mine are the ultraHD ver with 5.1 as the second pic shows. The units i own are not 2018 or later boxes. I also read somewhere in this forum that the new boxes (i guess with DRM L1) do not have any lights on the network connection plug, mine have both. I will give this a go and see what i have been missing - thank you for your clarification.
-
one more question - if I am installing a fresh clean load with the paperclip - do i still have to install 2.0.4 and 2.1.4 first? or can I directly go to 2.1.7. I guess you can just update through the os and keep you settings if you are just updating from 2.1.4 to 2.1.7.
-
and unfortunately, netflix does not want to connect. It gives me cannot connect to network service error. Disney and amazon video seem to work. It seems that there is always a issue to contend with. Any advise?
-
As box come with Android 5.1.1 probably don't have DRM L1 support.
Use DRM Info (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidfung.drminfo) to check it.
If DRM info report DRM L1, then don't forget to enable HDCP switch.
If by any rezone use VPN then try Netflix (Android TV) 5.3.1 from apkmirror (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix-android-tv/netflix-android-tv-5-3-1-build-2192-release/).
In case of DRM info not report DRM L1 try CFW/ATV at least will get DRM L3 and Netflix mobile app play on SD.
-
I am not sure what i am supposed to look for - my hardware is bigfish, supported ABI armeabi-v7a, armabi.
sdk lev - 24, under the widevine CDM, HDCP level is unprotected and security level is L3. I did try the earlier netflix build (5.3.1) and it also fails to connect. I can install the latest netflix mobile app and it runs, except the resolution is crap and the remote doesn't work!. Have to run it with a usb keyboard.
The only apps that i am interested to run is netflix, amazon and disney. Please give me a firmware that supports these 3 apps and I will be happy.
Its a kick ass little player for the H.264 format and because of that i have a few of them but I am finding out like stated in this general forum that software support is a challenge. As much as i hate apple products, if android doesn't start to standardize its aps it will melt into the sunset.
Thank you for your suggestions and help!

Hi,
Looking for help, I have just updated from 2.1.1 -> 2.1.4 - 2.1.7. I can't see how I can now download apps, the store seems to have disappeared?
UPDATE - I have just re-installed the software pack and the store is now there (however my Kodi has gone - I'll have to re-download)
-
did you flash the second add-on? following the 2.1.7 original? :)
-
well in the end I was able to run netflix, amazon and disney using latest kodi 18.9 on 2.1.7 firmware. I tried to run the leia 18.9 on the original 5.1.1 and it wouldn't play anything, kept giving me wrapper stopped error. And when i tried to map a SMB, it would see the files but when i tried to play it would give me mount errors. Although they said 5+ compatibility, it sure seems to hit some short falls with this player.
I guess i will not be downgrading for a while.

Hi, all, I'd really appreciate some help:
I have a Q30 and I updated the Firmware 2.1.7. and the additional packeage with Netflix, Disney and Prime. When I start Netflix , an error #1044 appears, and it says, that it can not play the stream. If I select Prime, it also does NOT work and it says, there is something wrong with my HDMI cable.... any ideas?
-
Settings/Advance/Display/HDCP switch is check it then power off/on.
Install DRM Info from Google Play then check if HDCP Level is not unprotected.
-
Thx, pcristi for the quick answer. I did what you wrote:
I switched HDCP switch to "on" and installed DRM Info. After the Reboot, DRM Info stated:
Current HDCP Level: HDCP-1.x
Still, Netflix does not play an content.
-
Hello,
I successfully use Netflix 4.4.1 build 7647. Please try it.
-
Everything works to me, Netflix on FHD but no DD audio passtrough.
Should be work ?
-
I have installed the firmware 2.1.7. It works fine but how to install the additional package?
Thanks
-
I always use the stroke effect for subs, once set it stayed stroke for all movies. Not with this firmware, it switches back to default bold setting, has to be set for every movie again. Bad bug or mistake in design. Will try cfw, hope this is better.
-
Try HiMediaVideoPlayer 1.2.60 from mediafire (https://www.mediafire.com/?o4h15793c0a0e).
-
Hi Prisci, thanks for your reply. I tried that one after the post I made, got if from your media account. Installed it as update.zip but no success also, problem stays. I try the latest CFW from you, HMD-2.1.7 2020-08-18.140128, or latest CFW Lite 2.1.7. If not works I will roll back to CFW 1.4. --> installed latest cfw lite 2.1.7 which does not have this subtitle problem.
-
An anyone help. I installed this today and playstore app is missing. Can anyone provide me with a link to the correct apk. Thanks.
-
An anyone help. I installed this today and playstore app is missing. Can anyone provide me with a link to the correct apk. Thanks.
Did you install the additional software package including google play, netflix, etc? See page 1 of this tread the first note from STL. Also needed for pcrisci cfw lite mstyle.
-
Thanks. I'll try that.

Hello from Spain. I have installed the FW 2.1.7 and the software package and everything is fine. But when I choose the Spanish language nothing happens. The options are still seen in English. It is normal? it has a solution?

Hello!
I still can't get over this: (quote from pcristi):
- All HiMediaVideoPlayer settings mess with save option per file and not global FW v2.1.4 2019-09-->v2.1.7
What does this really mean in practice? All setting changed (e.g. subtitle position or turning off the Imprex) reverting back to default when opening a new video file, so one must adjust these all the time again and again?
I'm still on 2.1.1 and this makes me really consider to update to 2.1.7.
Thanks!

@pcristi
Hello.

Thanks

Can someone tell if the Auto framerate (or Frame rate adaptation) switch is present in the main Settings->Playback menu again in this FW or is still only reachable through the HiMedai Players's own menu during playback? (I mean the OFW version off course, not the CFW).
Thanks!

Hi,
Looking for help, I have just updated from 2.1.1 -> 2.1.4 - 2.1.7. I can't see how I can now download apps, the store seems to have disappeared?
UPDATE - I have just re-installed the software pack and the store is now there (however my Kodi has gone - I'll have to re-download)
Same here, came from 2.1.2 and to 2.1.4 and then to 2.1.7 , everything was fine ..
tried to install the software pack , now all apps gone .. no store either ....
UPDATE :
OK , its better to update to 2.1.7 and wait for the boot completely , DO NOT OPEN ANY APPS , Just Turn it off after it boots into the OS.. ( if needed pull the plug out and reconnect , thats how i do updates) and then load the software package onto the USB and update..
Now i got Kodi , and all other apps.
If apps are used , i think it deletes all apps ..

Thanks, that's makes me think to update from 2.1.1. But still confused:
- All HiMediaVideoPlayer settings mess with save option per file and not global FW v2.1.4 2019-09-->v2.1.7
What this really means? For example, if I set the position of the subtitle during playback of a video it resets the position each time when I start another video?
And is this software package patch linked in the first post of this Thread, is still the best for OFW 2.1.7?: http://www.mediafire.com/file/kqgon53diima2i8/file (http://www.mediafire.com/file/kqgon53diima2i8/file)

Hello!
Can anyone confirm/unconfirm that the Miracast option is working with this FW?
This is the unpacked app folder of the upadte.zip file of this FW:

As you can see, there's also a Miracast app listed. But it's still a mystery if it really installs by default with the FW and works as well. (If not so maybe someone can try to install it manually from the system apps menu from the Android Settings somewhere.)

Despite the abandonment presented in the Thread, i will try with another question:
This FW + the software patch comes with a surprisingly working official Android TV YouTube app installed, but it's now a bit outdated version. I'm asking if anyone tried to install this newest version (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube-for-android-tv-android-tv/youtube-for-android-tv-android-tv-2-13-08-release/youtube-for-android-tv-2-13-08-android-apk-download/) and found still working on the Box? I don't want to replace and thus loose the surely working version with over installing this newer, if it doesn't work well on the Box.

Yes, you can install it but the ads in the official version drive me crazy. The app I use currently is SmartTubeNext

So you have this latest version installed and it still works on the Box? I was suspecting that the version that comes with the OFW software package is may be modified to run well on these Boxes. (I also have Smart YT TV Next installed, but somehow I found this original YT ATV app a bit smoother to handle. It's hard to describe, but it just feels a bit faster and more "real".)

The latest oficial version works fine but I wouldn't be surprised if an older version runs faster
