Only problem is setting up the Lan Storage is a hassle.
Using ES explorer, its easy. But using Himedia one cannot skip Name and Password. What Name and Password? I never set them for my Network Storage.
ES explorer I just tick the Anonymous

Good thing about this set is can adjust the screen size manually to fit my 720p screen which is 92% smaller.

First experience with Kodi is a joke, movies write HD but manada HD, more like cinema capture quality.
Even for movies which has already have Bluray release.
But I still playing with it, maybe I need to do some setting.

Desperately need an air mouse.

Yes, you will need some form of mouse control and keyboard for easier typing, etc.

They use phone HD camera to capture so they call 'HD' la. New movies not even release on bluray yet where can get real HD, you think la.

Want to view HD then find those older ones already released on bluray. Even if already released on bluray, you probably come across those previously posted from the pre-bluray release period.

I faced the same problems in setting up the network media. Advice is not to use Kodi media (too problematic for me), just use the Android media. Now I can get to my NAS files without password. Forgot how I managed to do that now.

Yes, same issue with HD movies in Kodi, not really HD for most.

But ...

Use some of the apps (especially Chinese apps) and the movie quality there is much much better.

A steep learning curve with the new toy but will be rewarding later once you have mastered it.

congrats.

the device u bought is a good one, has many capabilities.

if new to this kind of device and apps, time is needed to learn it.

can be frustrating at the start.

if your seller cannot support u, provide details on questions here - other users may be able to help.

apps and kodi addons come in all shapes and sizes since they are free, u need to get them to try.

kodi... there are lots of hd stuff in there, just need to know where and how to get them.

china apps, live tv or vod, in general is more reliable and in better quality than others.

if it is not in hd, don't bother, get another app! biggrin.gif

Yeah, I'm going to order a Universal IR Learning remote with keyboard to control stuff
I've got TV, AVR and this box to control, plus the ceiling fan, Bluray Player
Found a model which does that Rii i13, but it has mixed reviews especially the IR range.
Not sure why Logitech or Sony and other Big players dont come out a remote which can Learn a few channels and also incl an air mouse and small keyboard at the back.

Yeah, I google and seems like there are some issues with "New Server Error" with the standard apps.
I'll try a few more ways to see if it registers, and also may follow your method.

I have almost given up on somethings...

How on earth you scroll down using the supplied remote?

I means whats below the TV screen? The D pad doesn't do it, the Mouse didn't do it, I pressed all buttons on the remote and still it doesn't want go to down.

some apps require use of a mouse to scroll becos they were made for touchscreen.

Get a rm50 or 100 wireless mouse. This n remote combined will be able to handle everything.

I assume you want to scroll down a long list of titles, right?

2 options

* press on the down arrow button, one title at a time, slow and wasting battery! Ha.
* press the right arrow button, then each time you press the down arrow button, it will scroll down by a PAGE!

I press the down button but cannot see anything, nothing seems to be moving

Probably I test out a wireless mouse first

Ok i tried oledi..

Yes, it works, super easy now.

One thing i notice when i got back was is mine using Kodi v17, my kids manage to play some 720p cartoon movies, a bit choppy. Not sure if thats normal, i using Unifi 30mbps line.

I'm gonna read this thread about Kodi17, seems like most movies is Choppy.

There must be a way to smoothen it out. cos sometimes at certain part of the movie it smooth, most parts Choppy

yes, u can fix it - it is a setting issue.

go to settings/player settings/videos... u see hardware acceleration/media codec (surface) - disable it (but keep the other on).

this is a kodi-hardware thingy.

do read kodi thread, plenty of things to learn about this rather complex app.
