To install, transfer them through a USB stick and choose Installable Apps from the File Manager.
Due to a technical reason these two apps did not make it to the online update. We are moving towards a new update system which will resolve these issues, and make it possible for us to issue app updates independently from OS updates.
Known Issues
If you do not remove Prime Video before installing Prime Video TV, you will see two icons on the Home screen. Please remove the non-TV version. However, both versions can exist side by side.
Prime Video TV may occasionally show a “problem with HDMI connection.” Please try to start the playback again in this case.
Future work
If your bug fix or improvement didn’t make it in this update, rest assured we are working as fast as possible to close all issues on our task list.
Thank you. I have updated OTA without any issues. Tested S YouTube, MX Player, VLC Player. All OK although the MX Player seems to be smoother compared to VLC Player.
I did not bother updating Prime Video and AirReceiver as it is too troublesome.
I also did not like the default Colour settings. My preference is:
Brightness = 60%
Contrast = 20%
Saturation = 50%
Sharpness = 20%
The above settings work well for Energy Saving mode (with power charger plugged in).
I think the current version of Netflix works well generally and so far I’ve yet to have any kind of hiccups. I’m pretty sure it’s the only super portable projector in the market as of right now that has Full HD Netflix on and I’m happy with that at the moment. I mean I’m as excited as anyone to get the TV version of Netflix with a higher resolution, remote friendly interface, newer codecs and bug fixes but for now it’s worked great and isn’t really that much of an issue. I hope they work on more important issues like autofocus and color accuracy for the next update!
Can you provide updated task list you are working on? Roadmap has not been updated for many months now. What are the high priority tasks you are actively working to fix?
Prime video stopped working for me after the 1.1.03 update and I did not get the Prime Video TV app installed. I had uninstall Prime Video and reinstall using the last known good version.
Also, I didn’t update the Netflix app as far as I know, but the poster tiles are now not pixelated anymore (which is good news, I think?). Is that possible? (I did have to re-enter my login credentials, btw).
Unfortunately, here (in Germany), my device frequently says: software (1.1.02) is up-to-date.
Repeating the request to update (online), sometimes it detects the new version (1.1.03), but either download won’t start, or, after downloading, claims the software is incorrect.
Update from 1.101 to 1.1.02 however had been successful with the same WLAN and at the same place
The update failed for me. I just tried the online update and it waited for a while and then said invalid package. So I tried downloading the zip, renaming to update.zip and placing it in the root of a FAT32 sd card. I started the updater app and it detected the update.zip file and said the projector would reboot. So after a few minutes of what I assume was the zip package being unpacked, it rebooted and went to the screen with the Android lying on its back with a panel open with the word: “Error!” written above it. Then the projector rebooted as normal.

The readme says the HDMI related bug is fixed. But I dont see any fix after upgrading to the latest version v1.1.03. PPM still goes unresponsive with HDMI plugged in. @Philips_Support_P@IvoGrijt
