and list of bugs for us to ponder on for 1.0.28 / 1.1.0?

It’s uninstalled! But question is how to get it back!

I haven’t experienced it myself because I have stuck a post-it on my screen on the icon of Netflix and Mx player pro which say “DO NOT UPDATE” :grin:.

To be serious, @Philips_Support_P explained previously that when you uninstall a pre-installed app, it’s icon comes back on the main screen by an internal routine.
@Philips_Support_P, more detailed information upon this ?

Edit : seen on another thread about Netflix, but should be the same for MX player pro :

Can you or someone else tell me the exact version number for the Netflix app in 1.0.27 please? I need to check if I still have the patched version or not.

Says 4.16.3 Build 15172

If there were an auto reinstall script…

Ok, I guess a Factory reset might do it!
But I better wait for next version update first…

Can we update Netflix after this update?
Because I do not see it in the known issues…

NEVER UPDATE Netflix.

It’s been patched to get Full HD on the PPM, as the regular version doesn’t support FHD normally apparently. So Philips take the latest version out there when they’re building the firmware package, patch it, and include it in the image.

I tested Netflix and it’s at best SD quality :frowning:
I also tested Plex and that good. So it’s not the PPM.

The same issue with my Netflix on PPM

Perhaps you are affected by the initiative of Netflix to throttle the streams to not strain the network too much. Mine definitely goes up to 1080p. You can try the Test Pattern videos.

Any news about this?

The online update for 1.0.29 is not being released yet, as some bugs were found during testing. However new mass production units will come with it pre-installed.

1.1.0 is on track.

Hey Prashant - thank you for the update!

Is there any news on when you want to tackle the adaptive fan control? Is it on the roadmap for an upcoming update?
