Have a H8 but from day one I cannot get it to play sound in kodi, it does the menu sounds and radio , but play a video and "crickets" I did not try kodi out of the box , but went straight to update it via google store, I have tried every option / toggle I can find in the H8 and kodi with no luck. Currently its sitting with no kodi on it, I also did a reset but no luck either via the reset on the back.
Just wondering the best way to approach getting it working from here, as its a nice fast little box
many thanks,
Glenn

When you install the latest HiMedia firmware via recovery (pin in reset hole), their custom Kodi is pre-installed.

Likely the same, but I'd go with the Futeko one as you're assured it's for the English market, not China/Asia market (sometimes firmwares can be different).

Hi all.
I'm planning to buy H8 octa core to replace my alwinner i9 (alwinner h3 cpu) quad due to pre installed kodi 15.1 in i9 cannot be updated to latest version (either 15.2 or jarvis 16 beta 5).
Here is my question, does h8 allow kodi to be update to the latest version or not?
thanks in advance.

I'm interested to hear how the zidoo 1.0.30 goes I'm hoping off a bit as the zidoo forum is not positive about it. Most blaming the change to kodi 16 beta 4

Could be, maybe they should've stuck to 15.x and resolved the major issues before jumping onto a new build w/new variables.
