If you want to update DroiX Media Centre (DBMC) to 16.7-00 and own an Android device running Marshmallow (5.0) or higher, this post details how to do so.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Please open the DroiX Market application on your device. It can be found in the app drawer, the shortcut for which is normally a circle with six dots, found in your homescreen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If the theme is in general dark (see above), update to the more recent version of the DroiX Market first, before returning to this post.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

If you own a DroiX device then check your OTA Updates application for a firmware update.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If DroiX Market’s interface is light, scroll to the right, then down to the TV & Movies section.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From here, click on the Kodi DBMC SPMC area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now click the DBMC entry and you should see a screen similar to the one shown here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Select the Update option and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"Confirm<\/p>\n

The first time DBMC is run after this update, you will see a progress bar. If you are greeted with a query whether to Wait or Close, please select Wait.<\/p>\n

\"\"  \"\"<\/p>\n

The first run there may be some updates that take place, if possible give the device three or four minutes to complete these now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you check the System Info entry under the SYSTEM menu in DBMC’s homescreen, it should now show DBMC 16.7-00<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you still see 16.6-0 or similar, go back to the DroiX Market and check if the Update button is still shown. If it is available, please try again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Changes<\/h4>\n

The changes found since 16.6.0 are Python has been updated to 2.7 and the Kodi ZIP security vulnerability has been addressed.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Repositories that misbehaved (could not be contacted or did not reveal full contents) in earlier versions of DBMC should now function as expected.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t forget that lots of add-ons and repositories are offline right now, check https:\/\/DroidBOXForums.com<\/a><\/span> for more info in the Wizards and Add-ons areas. To keep good care of your device, ensure you always close the program down properly<\/a><\/span>, before powering off the system.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If your device has Android 4.4 or earlier installed, DBMC 16.3.0 is the latest version that is compatible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
