Non official android tv support - NETFLIX ERROR - MECOOL

by Marcoshcf2

Hey Guys,

This is my first android tv, I've searched for in this sub and didn't find anything related, so:

I just bought a Mecool KM8 on gearbest on a flash sale, I've seen reviews telling the Netflix app (android tv optmized) is not working because Netflix banned non official android tv os' (can anyone confirm?).

There's a workaround on aptoid, but with the phone app, wich won't respond to the native controller, only an air mouse, or keyboard (which I don't have, but could buy if needed).

My questions are:

  1. Is Mecool able to workaround it in an OTA update to solve this bitch?
  2. I know the model has a cast option, which works with youtube properly, but will it work in the aptoid version?
  3. Is there other ROMs that would have a nice UI experience and work the goddamn netflix? (And, if it'd be possible to turn back in case ROM installation goes sideways).

I know it's a lot to ask, but maybe there'll be someone with lots of knowledge and a spare time to guide me through.

I'm not a developer, but I've been flashing twrps and randomly reading xda threads for long years already.

Specs:

CPU: Amlogic S905X

RAM: 2GB

Thanks in advance guys!
