Hi Justin - in other threads looks like this week was the latest ETA for the new firmware.

Is that still achievable - just wondering how close we are. ThAnKs!

[Justin 206]

Still working on it

Please be patient.

Justin, are you going OTA with the upgrade or just normal download?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Normal download, as this will factory reset the box

@Justin, thanks for the feedback - hope you get it done in time.

Chinese holidays are the worst

Hi Justin, were there problems with the 582 firmware you received ? Just haven't seen any mention of the new firmware for the 582.

Thanks

Trying it out. Seems to work well. Just has KODI 14.0 and not 14.1

I discussed with our engineers on Friday, and they are now all off for Chinese New Years. And wont be back at work till Feb 28th.

So I will post up this firmware and the changes it makes by tomorrow. Since I promised everyone something this month.

It will be your choice to install it if you wish.

Sorry about the wait time on this guys.

Thanks Justin... Appreciated !

Would there be a way to self upgrade to 14.1... Or do we need an official update for that to happen?

Thanks Justin. Greatly appreciate all the hard work you guys are all doing for us.

[Justin 206]

You can always update to the official KODI version from www.kodi.tv which offers 14.1

And no problem about the support. Glad to help

But will that result in 2 versions running? I've done that now, but Gotham is still there plus helix.

No you can only run one version of Helix at a time

Only reason why you can run Gotham and Helix at the same time is because they changed the App signature name on KODI-Helix.

Perfect. Thanks Justin, that works for me.

Hey Justin, did you post this update somewhere im not seeing? Or are you still testing?

[Justin 206]

If everyone wants to try it. I will post it.

I can just post it as a BETA Release, as its not the official release.

[Dlangejc 3]

@Justin that's a good idea. Would be awesome and we will take it as a beta, I'm sure the ones who wish to wait for the official release will do so.

[jpmccarthy 2]

Thanks Justin.

I know you have been testing the update, but curious, what is the milestone to move it from Beta to Official - are you waiting on something specific, or is there any bugs that are awaiting for resolution.

I would definitely love to try the beta, but if there's any known issues I'd like to know those as well (buyer beware as it were).

Love my box, very much looking forward to the update.
