Hi,

My unit will hang when on 2.03 firmware. It will hang, after reboot.. sometime it will hang when open app.

Tried many version, only 2.01 and 1.09 so far ok, but 2.01 got problem with framerate.

That's why need 2.03.

Anyway to find out, why my unit not able to run 2.03 smoothly?

Thanks.

Firmware 2.03 has a lot of bugs. I changed to versions 1.10
I'm writing in English with little google help :)

Exactly what problems did you you have with the framerate?

2.0.1 should be free from any mean framerate issues.

So you got the problem with 2.0.3 repack and 1.0.9 and not with 2.0.1. As in the case of 23.976 fps source it should play at 23.976 fps as well. That's the correct frame rate and not the 24.

Repacks of CFW v2.0.3 are online if anyone can't wait final 2.0.4 from HiMedia, 


Thanks for that. Installed and working! But should I be able to play ISO images of DVD and Blueray disks with this patch? All I get is a black screen.

No response  :'(?

Maybe it's an user error. In what way you trying to play the iso-s? KODI+Wrapper? Is the Wrapper set to Wrapper player? Try simply play it from the Media Center, to see if it would work anyway.

Thanks. Unbelievably they are all working now :) !!!

When I got the Q10 box I started copying some of my DVDs and BDs as mp4 or mkv files to see what the quality was like. Then I decided to copy them as ISO files. No problems, the all worked. But a few weeks ago the ISO files all stopped playing on Kodi+Wrapper (I just got a black screen) while the mp4 and mkv still played. All of the files played on Media Centre however. This was just after I installed the pcristi 2.0.3 patch, but I think now this was just coincidence?

I installed the new official Kodi 17.2 release this morning and now everything works again.

I've mention before that we need a "definitive" set of Kodi settings for this box. It's not good enough simply to say "try this" or "try that"! Even Kodi's own wiki site doesn't help here.

The box isn't recognising the presence of the update file.

Probable causes:

- incorrectly named update file. For the custom firmware the downloaded .zip should be renamed as 'update.zip'.
- incorrectly formatted USB stick. Format should be GPT/FAT32. Reformat disk and re-copy update.zip.

Been running the Custom Firmware for several months working well, then suddenly a couple of days ago problems started, decided to reinstall, downloaded latest build, used my normal usb stick, program installed as per instructions but unable to open half the apps including Kodi, although Himedia player started ok but not much else would open. Many of the apps on the initial screen which didn't work had the old green Android symbol showing Whats the best method to take it back to Android 5?

You don't say what firmware you were running, what you installed, and how.

To downgrade from Android 7 to Android 5, first install downgrade firmware:

- Q5 Pro see here:  http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1393.msg10921#msg10921
- Q10 Pro see here: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1392.msg10920#msg10920

Then any Android 5 firmware.

There will be a new Android 7 firmware next week and I advise installing it when available. Installing 2.0.1 until then would make that install easier.
