Yea, u r right. thats y i m doing the reading on the basic tech to operate while my wife just wan on, click and play. hahaha!

Another way of watching HK, China, Korean dramas & movies: download an app named "Rss Video Player" from Google playstore, then add following url in the channel setting "http://irss.se/dramas", have fun...

i can't say this enough.

to add, it will take 3-6 months of hands on to get to a good level.

china dramas.. get buding and VST - these 2 will give u lots of good stuff. best if seller can pre-install for u.

azdrama... been around for a long time... but like many others... good to look at, can't eat.

there are some better ones - kissasian, dramago, dramanice, drama24h - in KODI.

but none of them come close to what other apps offer in mandarin.

u may be in for trouble if u overpromise wifey...

more so if yr internet speed is weak/low.

My MXQ unable to screenshot (CTRL-S)movie/series while playing maybe lack of memory. It only captures kodi interface with black background

my current philips tv box OS oni version 4.1.1 lolipop..cant support tat RSS video player..that y wan change it to Minix. being con by TV seller..say no need buy tv box coz this philip TV bundle together.

will try for better wifi connection with cable or wifi extender. and also try KODI.

Thanks for the recommendation, Guru!

You are on the right track.. That's why we do research and read about real world performance before purchase. Even then, one still needs to put in additional effort to keep the box working nicely.. It's a pain.. Yes.. But it's the price all cord cutters must pay..

Hi all bros, wanna ask for advice. My current set up at home is a Plasma TV to my current BD Player cum Media Player which supports all audio&vids to my Yamaha 5.1 amps. Question now I wanna get a tv box/media player to replace my current unit.

options
hi media or mi box 3 enhanced?

i will watched lotsa downlaoded 1080p dts movies most of the time. but at the same to be able to watch or stream online shows for my kids and wife. my eye set on the mi box but wanted to get some feedback from all the pros in here. TIA

u said u hv q10pro, no?

I somewhat "feel" that for downloaded movies which is played via AC Ryan Mini thru 5.1 on my Onkyo has better output results overall compared to via Q16

That is true, I had said that a couple of times in the himedia thread almost 2 yrs ago.

The ac Ryan pohd has good Realtek chipsets.

Video output is marginally better than himedia.

Audio, no difference for dts, dd, dtshdma, ddtruehd.

However, himedia q16 can pass thru dd atmos and play uhd4k videos.

Also, himedia has mini bluray menu, which is not found in most devices and playback apps.

So, I use both of them for playback, depending on file type.

that was for my brother in law actually.
m thinking to get a box for myself as my previous Hi-Media is an old model but still working fine without Android OS inside.

My previous amp is Onkyo 7.1 but busted the main board and beyond cost of repairing after the 4th year.
Just got myself a Yamaha instead but in terms of the power and bass, Onkyo win hands down but clarity still Yamaha IMO.

But coming back to the media box, MiBox recommended to couple with amp?

Guys, one quick question. Any opinion or feedback on Nexus Player? Thank you.

i see.

for playback, all players can do as it is mature tech. difference lies mainly in the audio codecs and licensing, i.e. if it can do dd/dts, ddtruehd/dtshdma, dd atmos/dts:x.

for online streaming, it will depend what are yr requirements and expectations, what internet speed u hv.

... eng, mandarin, canto...
... movies, tv series, live tv, kid's tv
... what quality u accept... sd, hd, uhd...

besides this android box thread, there are also himedia and mibox threads.

more details on each brand and their models there.

whatever box, just take note:

.. these boxes are not plug and play - u need to know how to install, maintain and update - not an easy task to get the best stuff.
.. support is impt - a new user will inevitably need help one way or another.

Opss sorry side track on the forum topic.
But thanks a lot for your feedback though

My house got this android box china set.
Anyone know what name of this android box?
Want to learn more what spec this has.

Much shiny.. So Gold...
Can't say much from that picture, need more information such as: pictures of labels on the device itself and box.. Boot it up and take a screenshot of the "About device" area, as this usually has the model name.. Is there a system update area and or app? Name, screenshots.. Etc.
