Q5 4K3D. 24-APR-2015. FIRMWARE HMD-1.0.8 FUTEKO-EN

[Chocco]

Hi, more of an annoyance than a disaster but the new firmware seems currently incompatible with Kodi Isengard beta. You can install it, set up your library and have everything work perfectly but after turning the box off and going back into it the next day, kodi refuses to load and the box crashes. The only thing for it was to uninstall the beta and reinstall 14.2. Unfortunately you have to redo your entire library from scratch. Anyone else have this problem too? Thanks, Dave

Depends how many movies you have! I have multtiple profiles and about 2000 films so it was a bit of a pain. Glad I'm not the only one though. Thanks for the reply!

This is actually a bug (the most serious bug by far) with the 1.0.8 firmware.

HiMedia will have an official update (should be 1.0.9) next week which will fix it.

In the meantime it is fixed in the unofficial CS custom firmware here: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=135.0

If you have a Q5 then I'd recommend installing the custom CS 1.0.8 firmware, at least until the official 1.0.9 with fixes appears.

Next before to uninstall Kodi just save your userdata /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/*

Fast way for testing Kodi nightly build is just to rename org.xbmc.kodi before to uninstall
1. rename /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi to /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi.save
2. uninstall Kodi
3. install any version you like (Kodi nightly build) if you are of FW 1.0.7/1.0.8 CS mod FW or just reboot to get Kodi 14.2 for FW 1.0.8/1.0.8 CS mod FW
4. rename back /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi.save to /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi
5. open Kodi and all your library and profile well be inside.
Of course this is dirty way but is fast and you don't have to spend time on rebuild source, scan contend and fixing mistake of matching movie.
