Anyone installed this one??

[scooter2014]

Yes good update install it. 😁

[tomsag]

Installed, very good!
x265 OK, x265 10bit OK, 4K mostly OK(little lipsync problem).
Only detected problem is just a little frame drops sometime in Kodi, so not perfect.

I am trying to install the latest Ota and I get this error.
Why this happening.
With the first Ota before 2-3 months installed without problem.

This update is fine. now everything plays (mostly) well. 4K and even HDR is playable.
This issue with not recognizing Wired Ethernet card upon boot is also solved.

Instructions for update:
Download the .ZIp file from: https://mega.nz/#F!3NdEmILC!ASBWA2gg2_ynoflSHt9-uA and put it onto USB stick.
Put the stick into BB2, Go to OTA update program and select local update. You do NOT need to select wipe data or media!
Select the file from USB stick and let it update.
Upon reboot, go to storage/reset from settings, select cache and wipe the cache.
That's all.

why Ota it does not work?

kodi still crashes after the update....only if you disable the accelaration of amcodec on kodi video settings it works!But the box is fast...also has many bugs on the homescreen many times apps on favorites are missing nad you have to reboot the box to show them...

Seems you have problems with installation. You might factory reset the system to try to solve it (this is from settings).

so in your box the kodi doesnt crash? and with amcodec enabled?

I have kodi 17 beta 3 (the original which came with the box) installed and it works (there is no amlogic HW switch). The other one which is installed (a 16.1 fork) works also with amlogic hw enabled (but this one is only for test installed).

as i learnt kodi 17 not support amlogic codecs...only mediacodecs from google!so thats why on kodi17 the app doesnt crash!on kodi16.1 unfortunately the kodi crashes with amcodec enabled
