Thanks to github's logon84 & Lyn's
muncheno for the heads up.. I'm now able to enjoy the latest Kodi V18.1 and Quasar's full speed on my box.. This is the fix for the previously experienced IOerror 22 upon updating to either V18.0 or V18.1... This zip file works only for devices running Android and with ARM architecture, like my Minix Neo U1.. All you have to do is ...
*Download the zip file onto your device
*Update your Krypton (with Quasar & Burst installed) to Leia as normal.
*The usual error will popup..Just ignore
*Install as zip file...
*Reboot and that's it... Issue fixed.
This file will update your Quasar addon's version too.. Enjoy!!
Edit: I updated via Play Store. Upon checking Kodi's version info.. It's showing as Build: Kodi 18.2-RC1, Compiled: 2019-02-20.. So latest RC i guess.
Mind linking to the zip download for quasar please? I'm also using minix neo u1 and can't get quasar to work. On elementum at the moment...
