Q10 Pro hanging after playing several videos

[Tymber9]

Juts a Tipp: Do you use any kind of peripheral (mouse, airmouse, keyboard) or other external devices (other than HDDs) plugged in the USB ports?! I had once an incompatible airmouse that made the system go nuts and had several hangs and freezes due playback as well, removing it, with a fresh boot fixed the issues.

Thanks! But as I said the issue presented itself out of the box with just a USB HDD attached, but recently also happening on Windows 10 SBA home network connection and also with other USB devices and ports. I don't have the funds yet to get an internal HDD for my box.  I have also verified it with streaming services just exiting out of the video back to the main screen. Very, very, irritating when watching long video when it suddenly cuts off, especially so when streaming long videos since I have to start from the beginning again.

Hi, futeko! Any update to this issue? I'm on fw 2.0.1 and still using Kodi 16.1.

No, it's not typical.

If it keeps happening from all sources (local + network +  streaming) then it could be a hardware problem. Email your reseller, if that's us then mail@futeko.com.

I'm using  the official stable version of KODI 16.1.

On another point off topic, I installed VLC but it does not show up as an option to play videos. How do i make it show up on the list?

Thanks!

I have the exact same issue with the Himedia Q10 Pro, latest official firmware, Kodi Kripton. If it would be just a simple stop, no prob, but when reinitiating the play, the media starts from the beginning, not the last viewed position.

I've also had this same problem - since I purchased the unit around spring last year. Just randomly stops playing (through Kodi and wrapper),using NAS and wifi. I thought it might be Google notifications that were interrupting so switched them all off - however it still happens. I'm on firmware 2.05.

It's really annoying especially when playing something for the kids (who at present can't operate the remote etc) and it suddenly blacks out half way through the movie.

I've had to revert to my WDTV Live at times just to be guaranteed it won't cut out, especially if watching with friends.
