This update package seems to be corrupt or something :-\
Tried to update from 2.0.4 and 2.0.5, no chance! Update progress stopped immediately (with reclining android man) and reboots.
Meanwhile I will go back to 5.1 and FW 1.1  ::)

There have been hundreds of downloads and we've installed 2.0.6 many times ourselves. The update package is fine. Please re-try.

Having some trouble with MediaCenter.  When I try and create a shortcut under LAN I get "Query is Error" then Loading just keeps trying.

I have SMB turned on. 

Have not changed anything on my network.

Firmware 1.1.0 worked fine, and I have a Q5 on the network also working fine.

The PC is a windows 10 box with Fall Creators Update.

Tried it without luck.  I think the Win 10 FCU SMB is not the issue, current Q5 works fine and Previous Q5 Pro firmware on Android 5 worked fine too.

I should also add, Q5 Pro can see the internet fine, play store ran updates, and Chrome can browse the web.

Any other suggestions?
