    We need a little more info such as .

    What exact image ( build number ), you can get this from Menu> Information> About.
    also what plugins if any do you have installed, specifically do you have TSpanel installed now or have you had since the last time you installed the image.

    Personally regardless of the above questions i'd just backup any important info such as cam configs and reflash the image from scratch to rule out a image corruption.

    If you have the OnDemand plugin installed you dont need to install a separate RTE player as the one in the OnDemand player is actually more updated than the now obsolete stand alone version. The same applies to CrossEPG as the image has a very highly customized version built in by default.

    I would try reflashing the image just to be sure.

    This tutorial shows how to back up your image, the same principal applies to making a settings backup as it's identical process that uses the backup manager rather than the image manager.

    As your on 678, you could try flashing the image via the image manager.
