Thanks much,  I expected it to reset my box to factory but it did not.  still booted to my custom launcher and all my apps are in place.

Under the about tab it is showing

android 4.4.2
Kernal version 3.10.0_s40
Build # HMD-3.0.1 2015-09-09.10

UPDATE

Im definitely going back the the standard you-tube, this version is horrible, Im on lan and it keeps freezing to buffer. Also its not avail in the play store, google play don't even show it as installed, so when you-tube makes some code changes there will be no updates to this version.  Looks like they modified the old android tv version of you tube for this

Firstly i must say that i appreciate the work of the developers and i really love my Q10 but the latest firmware is a bit of a disaster for me.  It downloaded and installed ok but apon testing i found it was unusable.   Really noticable was video stutter, audio lip sync problems, lack of previously available menu options for video set-up, pressing menu on remote does not display any set-up options as in the previous firmware etc etc ...
I'm going to re-check to make sure if it's not something i have introduced by mistake otherwise i'll have to go back to previous firmware which was spot on for me.
Thanks again team for your work.

So far I dont see any problems at all short of the Chitty you-tube version

>> So far I dont see any problems at all short of the Chitty you-tube version << ....

I must admit I wasn't expecting the results I got after upgrade to ver3.0.1.  I tried a factory re-set after the initial first test of 3.0.1 to see if it needed that to rectify my problems but that made no difference.
I will go back to 1.0.9.1 which was stable and good with me to establish a fully functional box,  and then attempt another install of 3.0.1

My menu button does not work either, But it never has for me.  The other problem I was having was until 3.0.3 my clock drove me nutz stuck on 24hr time..   Strange too because in new firmware if I put it on Eastern time its 24 hr, If i leave it on china standard its 12 hr with the correct time for me.  Update 24Hr time came back on its own  Gremlins

.... Well,  managed to back track to ver 1.0.9.1, reloaded wrapper etc etc and all ok as before with only the very shortest of video micro stutter randomly, which I lived with ok because the rest of the players capabilities are excellent for me.   Reloaded 3.0.1 again, but not the re-set button / front on-off button method .... instead still used the usb stick but selected the drive method from software and loaded it that way with no problems.   Re-installed Kodi 15.2 + Wrapper and all ok with full remote functions as before.     I still see the odd video micro stutter as before so I need to do a bit more digging to see if I can track the real cause down.
It does seem a bit faster on operation I think, but not had chance yet to test any 3D content out.
Wether this is just coincidental or what, but during all this firmware swapping re-installing etc, my Synology NAS has thrown up a disk error which it is in the process of doing a repair on itself ??.

3 units of Q10 spread in different rooms and decided to upgrade one unit.
Noticed after the upgrade the Q10 took 43seconds to start up whereas before it was 21sec.
Delay is Bearable as the new media player has improved. Better audio and picture quality.
On music tracks the dark blue background is very much welcomed as the previous aqua shade was just to bright.

No issues on Youtube playback.

Menu Button works on bluray iso files like before. Unfortunately still BD-Menu lite and not full BD Menu.

Will use the 3.0.1 firmware more before upgrading the other units.

.... just watched a complete movie and for me the random micro stutters are the same as before,  no worse, no better.  Agree about the boot up time .... about double the previous but not too much of a problem.
What really gets on my nerves is the fact that every movie starts with the subtitles going and it's a pain to have to fumble with the remote to stop them. A default "OFF" would be most welcome.
Apart from that i'm still of the opinion that this is the best player i have ever owned & used and have no intention of giving up on it

Thanks

Watched a movie last night. Micro stutters on dts HD MA were so bad that I had to change it to DTS surround instead, which was fine. Of far more concern though was the picture cut out twice for about 5 seconds each time, resuming from where it left off when it recovered. I honestly don't know if this is a firmware issue or whether my box is dying. I still have the same lip sync issues that I always have too,but  only on Truehd soundtracks. I actually gave  the himedia box the benefit of the doubt and replaced my AV receiver last week as it was quite old anyway, but my brand new Marantz is exactly the same, making it indisputably the Q5 the cause of the problems. I know I was in the minority with my Truehd issues, but has anyone else experienced these other issues? If it's a hardware issue rather than a software one I think I'd probably be happier as this is driving me crazy!

@ Chocco,  don't see video drop out's as severe as that .... using a Denon 7200 here through a Sony es55 PJ.
3.0.1 isn't really offering up any improvements for me really,  I only use the Q10 to stream .iso movies from my Synology NAS and love it for it's superior user adjustment features for video & audio quality output onto a 120" dia screen.  The only slight fly in the ointment for me is the random micro stutters.   Ver 3.0.1 might have introduced a very slight lip-sync issue with me I think which I noticed when looking at "Birdman" movie last night which i'm sure was not noticeable when it was last viewed a few weeks ago using ver1.0.9.1  .   Think I will go back to 1.0.9.1 to make sure lol ..... think i'm getting paranoid lol  :-)

..... meant to also say that I have tried YouTube on ver 3.0.1 after seeing problems reported but all seems to be fine here with smooth video
