Q10 PRO FIRMWARE. ANDROID 7. FUTEKO. HMD-2.0.1 2017-01-10.164949

[eengland09]

I am running the latest 2.0.1 android 7 firmware on my q10 pro (a400 from kdlinks). I am getting Choppy video playback on certain MP4 movies and others play just fine. I am able to switch from the kodi player to the internal wrapper and it seems to fix this issue. Is this a kodi issue or an android 7 issue? Anyone else experience this? It would be nice to rely on the kodi player....

I am running the latest kodo 17 release too, I would mention...

I think I figured it out....I toggled off the "allow hardware acceleration - mediiacodec (surface)" and those videos play fine within the kodi wrapper now!

Isn't it about time that we had a definitive list of settings in the FAQ section, and that this list is kept up-to-date by the Admin? Much of what is already there is out of date, we have to search through several postings like this is order to find out what the optimal settings are.

Probably wouldn't hurt...I'm a tech guy for a living so I just had to tinker around to find it, but the testing part can get rather annoying over time.

The problem is that the goalposts are always shifting.

What do people think are the optimum Kodi settings for playback using Kodi internal player Kodi 17.0 / Android 7 right now?

So are you suggesting that it's a case of "trial and error"?

Currently, my box is working well  ! But this is due to my trawling through these forums and applying the many hints that other people have suggested.

I think it's time that all of these hints were available in one place, in the FAQ section.

They are preparing to leave for London on ExCel 

A small number of HiMedia sales people will be at the TV Connect show in London 28-30 March, but it's more than a month away and wouldn't have any bearing on firmware development anyway.

Does that mean that you don't have any idea of when the new firmware update will take place?

No, it doesn't mean that. But no, I don't.

Right, thanks, that was my point, that you don't know it (It's good to know I hope people stop asking now).

you guys at Futeko say that the firmware is only for european/international units, how do i know if i have an EU version or Chinese version?
I would like to upgrade but am afraid to brick it if i make this kind of mistake.

kind regards from Holland.

This question has been asked so many times, that I suggest futeko to include the answer in the FAQ or another related fix topic.
Anyway one of the differences is that the internal ROM capacity for the European/international device is 16 gb as opposed to the Chinese version  which only has 8 Gb, so you can check in the storage part of the settings if it shows 12 Gb and something (the rest is occupied by the system itself) then it means you have the EU/INTERNATIONAL version.
