New Droidbox Update

[L33_RYM]

I saw a post yesterday saying that a new Droidbox update was available. This might be a silly question but how do I get it so that I have the new features/additions on my M8 box? Do I need to navigate somewhere, do I need a file ...... what do I need to do?

Ok. I have managed to run the update & all seems ok apart from the fact that Mash-up has stopped working again. How do I fix it? Any ideas please?

Someone told me that they had run the update & mashup worked fine. They suggested that I try to reinstall it. I did this & got the following screen:

I answered "no" to the question in the picture above. I then unplugged the box & it struggled to restart, after about 4 reboot cycles I managed to run XBMC. I went to mashup & got the Goodbye screen. The Mashup fix is no longer in the Wizard screen. Any sugestions as to where I can go from here?

Here is a screenshot of mashup which is from Gotham that I downloaded earlier. Not sure what's going on with yours but I'm sure SilentlyScreaming will have a good idea.

I really hope so Paul I can't even get into XBMC, the box is just rebooting all of the time. I can't use it as it is.

After a very late night & 5 re-installs I think it is sorted. Got my fingers crossed anyway.

@L33 Rym glad you got it sorted. I have found that the Confluence Mod skin can cause a kick out from XBMC which takes my Q7 back to the on screen apps page. I've changed mine back to Confluence and it starts up fine now.

Thanks Paul. Mine just started randomly rebooting today. I was using it for about 2 hours & it rebooted 5 times. Support recommend that I do a factory reset so I am on with that now.

Hi there, did factory reset help you?

 

[L33_RYM]

Hi, Yes it did, Factory Reset, wizard re installation & skin change to Confluence & all now seems fine thank you.

We have a varied staff at DroidBOX. This means we sometimes have different opinions. For customers that like the new skin, and enjoy using it, I'm glad it is easily made available via our Wizard. For anyone else, I'm happy to recommend switching to the original Confluence skin as a first step. I replied to the other related thread, in case you see this page before your other.
gez18, last I checked (a few hours ago), the DroidBOX Wizard still installed the newer Confluence Customizable Mod skin. Don't forget to check XBMC>System>Appearance>Skin to see which can be selected.
