Nadeem 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2017 Upgrading Firmware & Kodi 17 Fork Hi, hope everyone is well i apologies for my ignorance in this matter as i am new to the world of android tv boxes and Kodi i purchased my my Atv 582 (running android 4.4.2) last month and really enjoy the product, i bought it primarily to use it for KOdi. unfortunately today when i went into KODI i had a notification stating that "unfortunately due to HTTP servers, i need to upgrade to Kodi 17 if i wish to continue using the services", i tried to search the forums but unfortunately i was not able to find the answers i require. 1) do i have to update my firmware, if yes how do i go about doing this? 2)what is a Kodi fork and how do i go about installing it Other issues: in the youtube app, i am not able to scroll down, is there a keyboard shortcut i can use? your assistance in this matter will be highly appreciated Thanking You Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bindaredondat 38 Report post Posted April 5, 2017 two things, #1, you need to upgrade to our version of Kodi 17, which is called MMC 17, and here is a video how to process the upgrade, #2, for youTube they changed settings made it work with Touchscreen, so you do need a air mouse remote, till you purchase one use a regular PC mouse that is USB hook up to the box and use.

As a mod, did you really just tell a forum member to watch the video without providing a link to a video or link to the APK? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

regalsin 2 Report post Posted April 8, 2017 when will the kodi 17.1 fork be available to use on an atv 585? hopefully, it will be an improvement on the 17.0 fork, which exhibits issues playing back live or recorded video? also, is there a simple method to upgrade the firmware in this box to make it compatible with the real 17.1 and subsequent versions?

I clicked on both the links and both of the IMG files downloaded - I could see them in the downloads but not open them. When I went into Upgrade the Local upgrade couldn't see them. What step am I missing? Thanks so much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jpmccarthy 2 Report post Posted June 26, 2017 Upgraded last night. Fairly unusable. Slow to respond to the mouse, programs would close frequently. Going to look at it again tonight, but may go back to kit kat to get stability and use the mygica media center. Also I didn't have root (couldn't install Titanium), is that by design?

This comes unrooted. We will have a root patch Also did you install the On demand Patch? Because I have been using a 582 at my desk for a week now with this, and it works fine. Just slow at startup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
