FTMC Jarvis 16.2.31

[WillySiz]

On the FB Group / Forum (Ti8 - EZ-Stream / Element) I keep reading that the latest FTMC is 16.31 and there is no new versions coming. Also that Jarvis & FTMC are discontinued. The word is - Buy a newer box with newer hardware. My box isn't all that old. I read here on FT to install Kodi 18. I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing that, because FTMC / Jarvis was pre-installed on the box and updated through FTMC's updater. (It no longer updates) So I'm wondering - Do I format / wipe the box clean and then install android and then install kodi 18? Is that what I do? Sorry no experience at all with manual builds. What to do .. what to do? Can someone help? Thanks!

FTMC - 16.2-31.

I'm on .31... Maybe try a clean install of FTMC, then the xbmc.python-2.25.0.zip, then all those other add-ons...

Hi... Should have mentioned you need to install this first:-

https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/addons...hon-2.25.0.zip

Download, then use install from Zip files...

Then you can install all those others!

Hey tomhardy, thanks for this. Everything installed but the 'requests' module. That one is still missing a dependency. However, I tried this on .30, are you .31? Or do you think it'll make any difference?

FTMC and SPMC are both discontinued.
Try to use Kodi 18.

Hello, comrades.

I really liked the stability of FTMC over the SPMC, but there's one small thing which bothers me alot -
when I'm throwing movie url at FTMC from the movie catalog app that I use - it only plays the movie, when FTMC was closed initially.
Open FTMC ignores the links passed from catalog.
P.S.
1. SPMC and genuine Kody working well with the same catalog app that I use.
2. TV box with Android 6.0

Is there any workaround maybe ? Is it known issue ?

Have been using the excellent FTMC on my ancient (Android 4.4.4) MXQ and MXQ 4K boxes for many months now. Lately, on start up I've been getting an error message about 'requests' being incompatible. And it won't seem to update to the latest version. All to do with dependencies I think - and by installing all of the below (using 'install from zip file' in Settings/Addons) the problem appears to be cured. Worked for me anyway!

Good Luck!

Hi,

Im trying to install the files you suggested but I can't install them. Im getting "dependency in python version 2.25.0 not met". How did you install these files?

[mo123]

MVR9 has auto frame-rate switching, 10-bit H264, VC-1 support and LibreELEC which others don't have apart from Rock64 which is a development board.
I don't know a lot about Amlogic devices, but avoid any cheap 'ship and forget' devices if video playback is important.

Time to get a new device that supports Kodi 18.
Addons don't have compatibility for Kodi 16 anymore.

Hi mo123,

Do you know which rockchip device can support kodi 18 ?

Thanks mo123 for the info.

Thank you

[superceleron]

well is discontinued because of my lack of time to do the necessary changes to add the support newer addons... that is why i added the code to bitbucked to see if anyone continues the work...
But looks like no one cared in continue, so time to move on!

I have the same problem with S812, but I can't install Kodi 17

[kostaman]

does it work on s912 chip too ?

Should work BUT s912 chip is not part of future development due to Amlogic not releasing fbdev Mali libraries and has no plans to release them.

[mikele]

Just use official Kodi Krypton 17.6
Hardware acceleration will work on that chip.
LibreElec via sd card is even better.

does it work on s912 chip too ?
