Just 1080p TV here.. But can confirm from other Minix Neo U1 + 4K TV users... Can only get 1080p 60fps max. But since most smart 1080p/4K TVs ship with a decent YouTube app, better to use that instead. Can Google cast from supported devices..

However, the YouTube app on my Nexus 10 can stream @ 1440p res when available. So yeah, it's possible, just not supported on all "capable" devices.. Something about most lacking the ability to process Google's VP9 codecs, which are used in YouTube's 4K video compressions for easy streaming.

must be the codecs then.
4k tv's can get 1440p, 2160p, no problem.
just curious if there is some apk for 4k boxes... biggrin.gif
if codec issue, extracting it from the tv and putting on the box will not work...

Hi. Everyone use Himedia M6? Wonder how the Mdtv iptv performence.
*
there are like 12 himedia models but only 2-3 popular here.
M6 is a miniature version, looks like made to compete directly with mibox.
kitkat 1/8gb is a bit old, will be lacking in many ways.
what is mdtv iptv?

Relax.. It's pretty simple.. The ultimate rule of cord cutting: Media boxes running Android OS or Android TV OS or similar are NOT the same thing as a dedicated Astro decoder. There is no exact Astro replacement, why? Because unlike other illegal IPTV providers, legitimate IPTV service providers like Astro, Hypptv, etc, are licensed operators and you pay them to handle everything smoothly and reliably.

What the OS allows depends on what one put in it and if the box can handle it.. Just like computers, all android boxes are not the same..

Yes, and I know exactly why it doesn't work for you. It happened to me, only to realise that I inserted it the wrong way!

Try insert it with the connectors facing up..

The mic functions and hardware of most boxes are primarily for voice commands and chats (Skype, Hangouts, etc)... You probably need a box that specifically advertises karaoke functions. Here's an option:
MeLE K8 Android TV Box KTV Function
Lelong MY

Post from bananazone.... Page 6... Post was made back in 2014, so search around as there might be an updated model from the manufacturer or others.

i think it's the router's subperformance or the area have "unifi issues".

my 30mbps... i get max quite often on my box, smart tv or pc with 2.4ghz, wifi or ethernet.

can see the stream speeds, up to 3.7MBps.
however, i just checked with my fiend living in another area who has basically the same setup... he's getting much less than me.

i advised him to replace stock router, get a new one - the only thing he can do for now.

he said he can't get thru unifi tel. to get id/pw for a week now. sweat.gif

Just to share other way to get unifi id and password without calling unifi cs.

I had googled and i think its related to X8 issues with passthru or something..just that the way the mic port are not able to output voice to speaker directly/on-the-air

How about using devices like these?
http://www.lelong.com.my/karaoke-mixer-kar...content=R01_C01

Or if i just get a normal amplifier?

I supposed the TV are able to produce sounds simultaneously from hdmi + rca or other port?

It's not an issue of the box when the box was not designed and intended to be used as such in the first place. Here's a closer example. The Minix Neo U1 vs Nvidia Shield Android TV. Both devices run Android and yet only one is able to instantly stream and play PC games from the cloud. The Nvidia Shield TV box possesses customized hardware and a firmware specifically written with PC gaming and streaming in mind. This is why it excels over the former at such a function. Same principle applies to Karaoke, the Neo X8 was not designed to function as a Karaoke machine and so it's no surprise that it fails at it.

I checked out the karaoke mixer, but the lack of proper English description threw me off biggrin.gif. You could get like an amplifier or AVR with karaoke functions included. That won't come cheap, so better be sure karaoke is that important. Being able to simultaneously produce audio from multiple inputs depends on the TV in question. Typically, most TVs will only accept from one source.

Now this is more like it. Judging from the provided image of the actual product, besides the HDMI, it has an optical audio out port and an AV port that supports the traditional Red, Yellow and White AV cables. The "Cara OK audio line" port shown in the 3D rendering, can't be found on the image of the actual product showing the ports on the back. So you might want to confirm with the seller about that.
