For me .srt overlap subtitle still flashing(clipping) but not missing line similar to FW v2.0.6.

Hi Cristi
If I understand correct the sub problem is fixed but not entirely? How it flash?

[casino187]

quick question.  can you actually backup/save settings so I don't have to redo on the upgrade?  I don't care about apps or kodi really since I only use the media player.   I only see the link to backup kodi, but does that backup everything else too or just kodi stuff?

Can anyone test if if external .ass (PGS) subtitles work correctly? Here's a test sub: http://www.filedropper.com/assextensionpgssub-test


Just rename it for a desired video, but keep the .ass file extension.  It should display lines right after a couple of sec after the video starts.


Please report if specially formatted characters are still display correctly (little bit grayish, thin black border and shadow). 


Thanks!

Another improvement which isn't listed in the changelog is that (for me at least) the WiFi and Bluetooth settings remain OFF after a restart or switch off  Can other confirm this?

So if you have wifi ON and restart the player, the wifi is OFF? That's bad.

As long as you turn off the settings manually then reboot it will remain off rather than enabling itself again

Worked for me, with Wrapper. But Kodi Player did not display them.

The special characters did display, with shadow using the Wrapper.

I have several apps that seem to think my Q10 Pro is "jailbroken", mainly apps that stream content.  I had hoped the newest build might rectify it, but apparently not!  Any way to rectify this without ACTUALLY rooting my box?

For me is keep off, with clean install and not additional apps installed.

Yes, I want them off, permanently. I have no use for WiFi or Bluetooth on my Q10.

Try next:
- Do clean install with OFW/CFW v2.1.0/2.1.1 set WiFi/Bluetooth OFF.
- Test if after power OFF/ON and reboot is keep WiFi/Bluetooth OFF.
- Start install your application and never allow application to use location!
- For sure will get WiFi OFF a same like me.
- Location service will always trigger WiFi ON after power OFF/ON or reboot if is was activate.

I guess that bug still remained, when you can't actually delete any files from the internal HDD, and you must plug into a PC to run a chkdsk error fixing time-to-time to get back the "stuck" free space on the HDD.  Some reported that file deletion doesn't even really work with the stock HiMedia File Manager.

This just makes the internal HDD option totally useless...

Any new found, simpler workarounds for this issue?

pcristi -

Everything has been working well since I installed 2.1.1. firmware last week!
I've tried several reboots and switch-offs and, every time, the new 2.1.1 firmware sets both the the WiFi and Bluetooth to OFF by default, which is exactly what I want  .

But HiMedia did not mention anything about this in the 2.1.1 changelog, so:
either - they fixed the problem but forgot to tell us 
or - the problem was caused by something else in the system and has now been cleared by the clean build when installing 2.1.1 firmware?

I see your point on 'Location Services'. It was ON, but still the WiFi/Bluetooth remained OFF  ?
But, anyway, I've just switched it OFF as I don't need it.

[Mount81]

So, the Colorspace and Bitdepth options are missing again from the Settings menu. HiMedia doing this on purpose, but won't even send even a tiny bit of information to the customers from the reasons? That's just a so absolutely odd attitude and situation.

I hope the the code: 0 3 5 1 is still working to get them back. Anyone tested it yet?

Yes, the "Video color space & HDMI deep cplor"  cheat-code still works  . The options reappear in the Android menu and remain after a re-boot also.

Thanks for the feedback! And where it must be entered? I mean is there a specific Menu or Options screen where it should be entered (like in the Advanced Settings or at the Home Screen)? Or it's just totally all the same where?

I just went into the Android Settings > Advance Settings screen and then pressed 0 3 5 1 on the remote control.
