Updated the FW to 2.0.5, first impressions:

2. On closing the subtitle, the himedia player crashes and force restarts, almost everytime.


Um, that sounds very lame... Does it happen with embedded or external subtitles?!

Can anyone else confirm or deny this?!

Thanks!

Just tested with embedded and external subtitles, can't confirm it, It didn't crashed when enable and disable subtitles. What I can confirm is the same bug that happens at least since 2.03: himedia player randomly stops with a black screen, if I press return twice it exits and doesn't save the played time. It's NOT a hard drive problem

Have downloaded Vs 2.0.5 2017-09-13 and in spite of following all instructions to the letter, "settings" is still showing vs 2.0.4 from July this year. I have done an update several times in the past, including on my B900 box, so I am sure that I have done it correctly. I downloaded vs 2.0.5 a second time and tried again. Same result: still shows vs 2.0.4. Help please.
     I might add that I am still using the 900B most of the time as it plays back all subtitles, whereas the Q10 does not. I only bought the Q10 for the 4K playback.
     I had difficulty in registering to this forum as it kept telling me that I had not answered the verification questions correctly. Where it asks for the number of letters in "Elephant", it says "answer as a word in english - 5 letters", so I typed in "8 letters", as per the example. Took me ages to try typing
in "eight letters". Not very helpful advice

You have updated your Q10 several times before?

'8' is not a word. The questions asks for the answer as a single word. In the example you give the answer would be 'eight'.

I have personally updated several Q10 Pro to 2.0.5, the download and instructions work. The most common mistake is to rename the download to 'update.zip' rather than extracting 'update.zip' from the archive. The instructions provide more detail about this.

I just found a Firmware 205 "bug"

Firmware 204 - Dvd folder playback via LAN works fine with default player

Firmware 205 - When I try playing back same dvd folder via LAN all that happens is folder opens up to show AUDIO_TS & VIDEO_TS folders

If I revert to Firmware 204 "Dvd folder playback via LAN works fine with default player"

Note: Dvd .iso's play fine with Firmware 205 via LAN but most of my dvds on hard drives are in "folder format instead of .iso format"

Another strange decision in 2.0.5. While playing a series in Wrapper, default in Play Settings is Full Cycle. If I recall it was the same in 2.0.4. Only that now when choosing Return on the remote two times, instead of existing from player, it starts the next episode.  On and on until I click return 2 times on the last episode. When it finally exists.
Single Cycle setting exists from play when I want to.

I can't really understand if this behaviour is expected or not. Just that I don't like it.

One loses track of these updates, but the fact I am running a version from July 2017 show that I have updated at least once since purchase in 2016. I had successfully updated the 900B also in the past. I note the advice not to rename the file to "update.zip" and had not done that . I extracted the files which automatically produced a file called "update.zip". I also tried again with the original download containing that very long name ending in ."zip"  Neither have worked.
          I'll try again.

Whilst not the recommended method, simply going to Settings and then Update from a USB flash drive (with the update.zip file only on it) works fine to upgrade from firmware 2.0.4  :)
I had backed up Kodi 17.4 (just in case) but nothing changed.  Also installed the BD Full Menu app (and ran it). 
I only had to reinstall the "0" Stop key patch.  Samba and all network functions with NAS playback have worked fine.

Adjust the full screen and not the screen

I just installed the new firmware and I notice a subtle difference in the loading time of the folders. I went from 15 - 20 seconds to 4 - 7 seconds. Still not perfect but at least you added a loading note added to the top right corner of media center when it is loading the list. That's an improvement regarding the visibility of the system status.

I hope to see better improvements regarding the loading and organization of the folder structure. Other mediaplayers such as the Popcorn Hour VTEN don't have any issues. Even with the HiMedia PRO10 player it has no problems beneath firmware 2.0.3.

Test case: create a folder with 1.500 folders in it and the response time should be < 1 second. What I would also like to see is that the overview of the folders will be enhanced. Currently it displays 9 folders within the mediaplayer, but it would be better to have 15 folders or 20 folders as a overview.

Lame. Just enough reason why not to update -again- from 1.0.9. :P I'm using embedded (.sup) subs all the time (for a good reason: character set of the stock HiPlayer subtitles are much lamer than mine. ;D)...

Thanks for sharing!

I have now 2.0.3  and Kodi 17.4 and is working fine for me, do I need to update to 2.0.5?
If so, do I need to install 2.0.4 first?
And there will be no more OTA updates?
