Q10 PRO FIRMWARE. 1.0.6-FUTEKO-EN. HMD-1.0.6 2016-07-07.151525 (updated)

[futeko.com]

When I used the "Media Centre" app via UPNP to my server this streams atmos and all other formats no issue...
I have the latest firmware from Marantz so Im thinking theres an issue with Kodi or the wrapper at this point as the native Media Centre app isnt having an issue.

Do you definitely have wrapper installed? Behaviour using wrapper should be exactly the same as with mediacentre app. They are basically the same thing behind the scenes.

In Kodi go Video - Files and navigate using remote to a file. Press remote menu key, you should get a 'play using..' option giving the choice of wrapper or DVDplayer (Kodi internal player). Do you get this choice?

No luck Here with installing  New fw! IT wont start and All Old setting Are gone.maybe More luck with ota

😥

Downloading... I really hope this time my box can be rated as A+ by hdmkv

Not yet... as all framerates should be supported at all resolutions, and microstutters or "jitters" should be squashed. This would make Q5/Q10 Pro an 'A' I'd think you all would agree.

For A+, I'd expect the following additional items:
- 3D MVC support in MKV
- Rough left edge fixed, now visible (at least w/last 1.0.3 f/w) in zero-overscan displays like projectors
- The slight judder with VC-1 / 1080i / 29.97 FPS videos fixed

I suggest trying again and making sure you follow the instructions exactly as written.

It sounds like the box hasn't recognised the update file.

The USB stick should contain a single file named 'update.zip'.

Me, too error during installation I tried by local upgrade and by pressing the back key.All the time box shows error.installation file of course named update.zip

[wiking]

so,before extracting fw to USB stick there must Be a map named update.zip on the stick correct?

GUYS!!!
You need to unpack ONCE! In the downloaded file there is the update.zip plus a txt-file with update log.

Just put the zip file you unpacked onto a stick.
ROOT-directory no subdir or something.

File 'update.zip' on USB pen drive:



I use Linux, so that's Linux file manager (Nemo). With Windows / Mac it will look slightly different but same basic idea. One file, 'update.zip', which you'll find in the firmware download package!

It works very well, Thank You

With the pinhole update method, will it essentially wipe the system for the upgrade? Should i backup my apps/settings with sth like Titanium Backup?

In Kodi go Video - Files and navigate using remote to a file. Press remote menu key, you should get a 'play using..' option giving the choice of wrapper or DVDplayer (Kodi internal player). Do you get this choice?

I went into Kodi navigated to a file and pressed "menu" I did not get an option to "play using" with the option to choose either the wrapper or Kodi internal player.
Do i need to reinstall the wrapper? I thought doing a new install with 1.0.5 had the wrapper already pre-installed and functional.

Any help would be great as this seems to be whats causing my  bitstreaming issues!

In the "My Apps" page I navigate to the wrapper and it now gives you the option to set either to Kodi Player or wrapper. Ive tried both and when I go to a file and press "menu" the only options are (queue item | Play from here | Add to Favorites | Marked as watched) I dont get the option to choose either wrapper or Kodi...

I was also hoping that in the Wrapper page in the My apps folder entering my samba account and password would allow me to map my Samba path to my Server share with all my movies. The other methods to access the pwd protected share have'nt worked for me as Ive been using upnp to access my files but it can be sometimes slow for my Server with dlna enabled to be detected by the Q10.

hi futeko... i flashed my box with the given firmware (aside from himedia's official site , futeko.com is the only place at which we can rest assured that the firmware is official)....
with the 24Hz mode enabled , the 1080p/60Hz mkv files the micro stutters are gone.
the thing is , using himedia video player (with wrapper) , there are some video artifacts (with or without 24Hz mode enabled). i actually noticed them when getting close to my samsung  js9500 4k led tv..... such distortions or artifacts are not present on kodi 16.1 (without wrapper that is)..... kindly try both players for the same mkv file and you will notice'em for sure..... aside from the mentioned regression , the whole q10 pro experience is totally awesome. thanks bro

I have downloaded the file, but can you please explain why I need to use a pin etc. why can't I simply plug in usb go to settings and use the upgrade and choose usb as the option?

You can do this and it does work fine 
Futeko are playing safe as the recommended upgrade removes all previous settings and resets everything (including Kodi) to "as new". 
You can always re-install the new firmware using the pin method if you are not happy with the standard upgrade outcome.
