Replying in this thread would be more appropriate.... .

Google Chromecast is a media streaming device that plugs into the HDMI port of your TV and allows you to stream (or "Google Cast") your favorite entertainment and apps from your smartphone, tablet, or computer directly to your TV.

NVIDIA SHIELD has this same Google Cast technology already built-in. Then, it takes the experience to a whole new level with capabilities like 4K Ultra HD, private listening, console-class games, Android apps, and much more.

As you can see, getting the Nvidia Shield TV box offers the best of both worlds.

Is showbox still working? I can't get it to update and cannot watch the video. It will still load, but only until displaying when episodes.

I had always found showbox to be less reliable than other movie apps.

Gave up, removed.

It is possible that these apps are being harassed bad now, run and hide.

One thing to keep in mind is that some apps, in attempt to limit no. of users now start to discriminate, e.g. will work on quads but not on duals.

Just tested & it's still works... Chosen media plays perfectly with English subs.. Nexus 10.

Guys, wanna ask your opinion..i would like to buy android box purposely to watch astro using astro on the go and some tv series from iflix..is there any android box that support this two apps? thanks for advice

astro on the go cannot be install in rooted devices. most android box comes with pre-rooted. Need to check propoerly before buying it.

can you recommend me android box for this? sorry, i am not too good in this matter.

Samsung Homesync works on AOTG. But it is not an android box.
Not really aware on others.. but mine M8S box cant install AOTG.

Mibox can install AOTG
But Iflix canot run

With the latest firmware, Minix Neo X8-H Plus supports iflix and astro-on-the-go (no need to sideload, can install from Google Play store directly). You must not root the the Minix box, otherwise astro-on-the-go will not run though it will still install. Cheapest price if you shop around should be around RM5XX (with airmouse)

heard about M8S also..but they said iflix gambar tak keluar..

i wish can install both..thanks for ur suggestion btw


cool..will check this device..latest firmware u mean just update the device is it?

See here for Minix Neo X8-H pls update methods (not OTA)
http://www.minixforum.com/threads/x8-h-plu...-via-fota.8331/

When I got my Minix, it was the stock factory firmware (001), so I was not able to do the OTA (over the air) update as it did not detect there were updates available. I found out that the OTA method from Minix was changed and OTA only worked with firmware version 002 onwards. So I had to do the complete flash method.

Initial flashing is not so difficult, if you're not familiar, probably get someone experienced with flashing Android phones/devices to help or to advise you. Once you're on a compatible firmware version, I think OTA would be better for you assuming that your bandwidth is good enough.

FYI - On stock 001, without the 008 update, my iflix app only showed black screen although audio was working. (Thanks to bro roxx for helping me figure it out)
