OFFICIAL Q10 PRO FIRMWARE. FUTEKO. HMD-2.0.9 2018-07-10

[Borisj1]

Unfortunately FW 2.0.9 does still not support 4K display format for picture viewing: same bug as in older versions, only HD available.  I have tested output over the internal picture player (Mediacenter) and Kodi.

It's a shame for Himedia. When will they fix this bug?

[pkonst2509]

As reported before, FileManager is gone from FW 2.09. I just found out that it is now built into MediaCenter.
In MediaCenter you have to go to "ALL" to access the FileManager functions (copy, cut, etc.)

Question about Image Quality on Mediacenter and kodi

Is there a difference

I've been using Kodi internal player for months and don't notice any difference.

[carl]

Hello, anyone with this version could tell me if Kodi wrapper now don't crashes when video filename contains special characters (e.g. # or &).  This was an issue in previous versions and still didn't work for me but Himedia told me should be fixed now.

Thanks for your help

id like to know ,if someone know, if the himedia videoplayer plays all video.....after 2.06 ,some old video (most in old codec like avi,mpeg,wmc...) didn't play more.

tough one...not so obvious to say one is better than the other.

i personally find native player marginally better than kodi player.

so, i do not use kodi.

captain, my captain...
futeko, so long - and thanks for all the fish.
you worked harder than any other supplier to compensate the lack of professionalism from himedia.
but enough is enough. my q10 is now for sale, or giving it as a toy for my nieces. whichever comes first.
hope is for sale.
at least i sold first the power source, was a great part. hdmi cable - mmm., so-so.
... i'm remembering the c3po dismantle in SW5

What are you going to replace it with?

[maelor]

After already a month Google fix they bug form YouTube for Android TV v2.03.04, on newest apk v2.03.06.

Thanks pristi. Just installed the 2.03.06 apk and it's working perfectly  .

Already replaced. Oppo 203.

[LeoeL]

I have Oppo 205 and it can't replace Q10 pro.

Well Oppo won't beat HiMedai in picture quality (there's a test that proves that it has clipping and banding issues).  With CFW (which is inevitable for network share playback and proper format, like .iso support) it costs a way more than any Android Box jet. + You can't have KODI or any other Poster media browser/Library on Oppo at all. And as far as i can remember there's a mayor bug with subtitle handling,  special characters displaying improperly in case of some languages (like mine: Hungarian) with CFW. 

I would rather go UP on the HTPC route for that money for sure. IMO.

well, don't you want to trade 205 for my q10 ? (huh huh... if i had a 205.. i would change my entire audio system to match the sound quality!)

clipping and banding will be there on 203, as in q10 or directly on tv, via internal player. kodi and posters and library ... i'm not a child anymore, i know all my titles and favorites where they are
romanian subtitles work very well, probably hungarian too (must select proper country code page in 203 subtitle settings).
no iso? extract the content into avchd folder, add some subtitles on usb stick. no streaming (and) apps? tv will handle perfectly netflix at 4k with dolby vision.

i tested 203 a lot; i bought it with intention to return before 14-days grace period expires, because initially i considered that a minor video difference doesn't deserve five-fold price. In this time i asked some of my friends to assist me in these tests - same movie, all default settings on both devices. results was mixed, some preferred darker image on q10, other brighter on 203.
then dolby vision kicked. no more words to say . "better" became "far better".
to add more kick, i seasoned the experience with some 96/24 flac files, and some 2.82mhz dsd files. the audience remained silent, because neither me or them are audiophiles. but sounds better. suddenly, my old collection of sacd and dvd-a became usable.

long story short, i kept 203, i transformed q10 into a NAS, at least until i'll sell it.

Unbelievable, still no new DTS HD HR license. I'm saying it again, everyone must write to Himedia to fix the DTS HD HR bug. ALSO those who don't use DTS HD HR. Futeko is not noticed at himedia or he did not report this problem.
