| Option | Cost | Effort | Recommended | |--------|------|--------|--------------| | Install (Kodi) on the Prodigy | Free | High (requires UART flashing) | Only for experts | | Retire Prodigy as a basic SMB reader | Free | Low | No – security risk | | Replace with Zidoo Z9X or Nvidia Shield | $150-200 | Low | Yes – modern codecs + security | 8. Conclusion Do not update the firmware on an Xtreamer Prodigy unless you are experiencing a specific, reproducible bug that the CFW explicitly fixes. The official update path is dead, and the community firmwares, while more stable, cannot resolve hardware limitations (WiFi, SMB1 reliance).
