Directv now works. Seems a little laggy then my shield. The guide that is. Not tv. Update : After using it for a bit its not so bad. Think it has to cache channel pics or something. I don't think its as snappy as my shield but its good.

Let me know if you guys want anything tested

Direct Playing h264 non remux from my Plex server outside my house

Direct Playing HEVC non remux of Castle Rock from same server. Think is will make a good Plex client.

If someone can get me a amazon apk I’ll test it. Update: Got amazon apk, will load when I get home from work and see whats up.

Update: Amazon plays back, audio sync issues and it seems some played and drop audio constantly. Not sure of the issue. Guess it doesn’t like something with the box. I would say currently amazon is a no go. Someone has given me something to try to fix these issues.

If anyone sees one at a Canadian Walmart, please let me know. I'm looking for a low end box for my folks.

Amazon prime supported on this?

Would love to know if live channels or Hdhomerun app has the deinterlacing issue. If you go to any channel with text scrolling at the bottom for example ESPN.... Does the text scroll completely smooth or does it jump. My Nvidia shield is completely smooth while my mibox3 is jumpy and can't handle it smoothly.

I assume the power/volume controls on the remote are CEC, right?

Edit: thinking about it they may just control the box. Shrug.

I'm getting absolutely awful playback streaming from the native plex app hardwired to my 100mbs connection. Everything is automatically getting transcoded to a shit quality, even with convert automatically turned off. However, when I use the plex kodi app, everything is snappy and plays great. Think I'm gonna return this and stick to my mi box until the S comes out next week. Had trouble playing 7.1 audio as well.

If anyone sideloaded amazon prime video, please say if it's working or not, if it's working I'll get one

How does this stack up to the MiBox? I am getting pretty annoyed with the constant bugs and eagerly looking for a replacement, but I don't want to get another sub par box. I'm low key hoping for a new Shield soon to end the search once and for all but would consider something else since all I do is stream.

Actual Android TV? Interesting.

Curious as to whether internal storage can be expanded via an SD card or USB drive???

Do we have a locked bootloader?

Can this currently be used with the Harmony hub?

@watchyirc

Amazon Prime Video apk is notorious for not handling well auto-frame-rate (like netflix does)

can you please try manually changing the framerate of the box to 24 (or 50 for european shows that are in 25fps)?, for example I think american gods works well with 24.

at 4K-60fps or 1080-60fps in the resolution/refresh of the android box, I think most shows have drops

If you see an improvement at 24, means that autoframerate is not yet working in AndroidTV 8.1

thanks in advance

The prime APK worked fine on mine after it had finished all the playstore updates.

When I initially tried it (with the updates going on in the background) I saw some minor sync issues, I used the version extracted the latest shield update(4-8-69).

after the updates finished and I restarted it it seemed fine and I watched some prime originals without issue.

What about 4K remuxes? Have you tried?
