inext is rolling out firmware 1.13.4 for the TV6 and TV6 Ultra, its 4K Android set-top boxes for live TV and streaming. It’s the first public firmware update for both models since 1.8.5.
Startup, security, and heat alerts
The update fixes an issue that could cause some devices to restart repeatedly during startup. It also strengthens firmware integrity checks, includes the latest security fixes, and updates all system apps. The inext Launcher also received performance improvements.
If the set-top box stays hot for an extended period, it now displays an alert asking viewers to move it to an open, well-ventilated spot. Our earlier post explains how thermal protection responds to sustained heat.
Other changes
- Remote controls. Fixed infrared remote navigation on the Paired Devices screen. The ★ Favorites button can now launch inext Screensaver.
- TV compatibility. Improved HDMI-CEC compatibility with some TVs on both models.
- Storage. Fixed an issue with setting up a microSD card as internal storage and improved detection of some exFAT USB drives in File Manager.
- TV guide. Fixed an issue in inext IPTV Player that could leave a channel without program listings when its playlist guide name differed from its display name.
- Preinstalled apps. Removed TuneIn from the default set of preinstalled apps.
Update timing may vary by operator.
