Android TV Custom Firmware Q10 Pro

[kodiloaded]

Has anyone been able to get YouTube TV working ?

[shenadada]

I have been using update_Q10Pro_(update&themed&Kodi18.2)[v1.2]-HMD-2.1.4 2019-05-31.171152
Can I install this?
I've tried but after seeing the Android logo, it turns into a dead logo.

I installed the Q5 Pro version and it works awesome!!! No complaints BUT to get it to work you have to do the following below exactly or at least in my case I did it this way.

1. Download latest version for your box from here.. http://www.mediafire.com/file/t2d1heh5a5om0rq/update_Q10Pro_%2528unofficial_ATV%255Bv2.15.3%255D%2529-HMD-2.1.5_2019-12-10.113757.zip/file

2. Format USB stick FAT32... NOTE: Not all USB's work as I found out so I had to try 3 different ones until I found one it liked. Seems like 8GB or bigger sticks work well for me...all my 4GB sticks failed despite formatting dozens of times

3. Copy the file to the stick and rename the file to update.zip ...VERY VERY important or it won't work. Double check the filename after you change to make sure it's correct using windows properties

4. Plug USB into available USB port on your device

5. Use paperclip to hold in the reset button and while holding the reset button plug the power into your device and don't let go of the reset button for 5 seconds

6. Sit back and wait about 15 minutes for the whole process to complete

Good Luck

Thank you for your answer! It worked that way.

Pcristi, I noticed a new version 2.16 for ATV on your mediafire site. Can this be dirty flashed over 2.15.3 or must the paperclip method be used to ensure proper install of ATV version 2.16. Thanks very much.

unofficial_ATV[v2.16.2]-HMD-2.1.6 is online.

For the first time I am commenting on this forum, I would like to use this opportunity to say a big thank
 to Pcristi for His amazing work,I have been using update_Q5Pro_ (unofficial_ATV [v2.15.3]) - HMD-2.1.5 2019-12-09.171045 for a while now and It's  working Great with Q5 pro better than the latest OFW 2.1.6 and other Custom firmware .
I have tried all the latest OFW and CFW including updated_Q5Pro_(unofficial_ATV[v2.16.2])-HMD-2.1.6 2020-07-13.142334,
with version unofficial_ATV [v2.15.3])  Streaming Video Quality  from  Google Play Movies & Tv (getting Audio 5.1 DD and DD+)  and  Amazon Prime ( works Only Movie trailers ) is awesome  crisp and sharp
also DTS passthrough working with any version of  KODI .
 Today I update  the latest _Q5Pro_(unofficial_ATV[v2.16.2] with this firmaware Amazon prime Video working fine but Google Play Movies & Tv Picture Quality
isn't as good as (unofficial_ATV [v2.15.3]) and Audio not getting 5.1 DD or DD+ only getting PCM, is there anyone noticed the differences ?

Great job on firmware, However I still cannot get YouTube TV to work without using FakeGPS app, Will not work with location services

I am taking about YouTube TV Live Streaming Service not the regular Youtube.

First of all, congratulations and thank you for your work!

I have the CFW 2.1. installed but some questions ...

Netflix / Youtube runs on the box, but not in Kodi, there comes an API key error message.
The Netflix add-on is installed.

I also noticed that HappyCast is only in Chinese.

Pandora obviously doesn't work in Germany.

And then a camera app is installed, what for?

That shouldn't be a criticism!

[pcristi]

Kodi YouTube addon setup personal api
https://babahumor.com/youtube-on-kodi-setup-personal-api
android-mediaplayer.de have a German version of how to setup personal api.

Kodi Netflix addon
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=329767

HappyCast --> this version form OFW.

Pandora is only US regions, but CFW/ATV is not build only for you.

Camera app, connect Android compatible once then will see for what can be use it.

Fast, clear, understandable and precise ... pcristi.

thank you

Congratulations for your great job. This firmware gives new life to q10 player.

I have 1 issue however.
I have problem with HBO Go app. No matter I'll try (deinstall, clearing cache, downgrade) cannot play any video (error 5.1 or 5.2 - depends of HBO app version) - checking some forums it looks, that it's related to nvidia shield on which that firmware is based.

I have a question too. Does someone know how to disable DLNA server (removing service or whatever). Just don't need it and don't want to see that TV Box@50(HIMEDIA)

Thanks!

[pcristi]

Welcome.

HBO GO required DRM Playready support that are not implemented on HiMedia box with Android 7 FW.

For DLNA server try

Code: [Select]

adb connect <ip_player:5555>
adb root
adb connect <ip_player:5555>
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/app/HiDMR/HiDMR.apk /system/app/HiDMR/HiDMR.ap_
adb reboot


[lucslav]

Thanks pcristi

I found that actually not HiDMR but HiDMS.apk did the trick
after rename of HiDMR renderer still show up in the network (by the way path to apk is /system/app/)


About HBO Go - are any modded apk's? HBO plugin for Kodi works.

About HBO Go - are any modded apk's? HBO plugin for Kodi works.

As I remember HBO GO mobile apk is was play on SD but with themed CFW and HDCP unprotected.

Small update file to remove Google Play Music for Android TV.
Download from mediafire, rename as update.zip then apply from menu.

Why is the custom firmware version 2.1.7 missing?
