The USB method would be the easiest. However, for a new device, I always prefer to flash the latest firmware using the PC method. Sure it's a bit more tricky, but it gives me that rest of mind that everything's partitioned and flashed properly. Bear in mind that, I'm capable of reviving a soft-bricked device incase things go wrong. So if you can't, better just stick to using the USB or OTA method where available.

Any one can advice how to use own downloaded subtitle for movie on KODI ?

cant wait for this

now that i have watched this video...

no need to wait!

you get the same android, same ui, same voice recognition functions, same 4k 60fps and the apps built inside...

SHARP and SONY UHD4K tv's!

ya i know that but dun want spend too much just for android TV.

Already got Panasonic CX600, just need this Mi Box to complete the experience hehe

true, if u already have a 4k tv but w/o androidtv inside, the box will be a good supplement.

but there are other boxes with uhd4k capability to choose from too.

we'll have to see what price this box is priced at, compared to other similar boxes.



btw, panasonic... are the smart functions in yr tv good? firefox, is it?

hopes the price is right. yup, firefox OS but still UI exp is not so great.

bought it bcoz is the cheapest 4K TV that can support 4:4:4 Chroma Subsampling at 4K/60fps.

using it as a PC monitor

1. Rename subtitle to match video filename and place within the same folder. If you have subtitles enabled in settings, Kodi automatically selects this..
2. During playback.... Select the Audio-Settings icon, then "Browse for subtitles"... This allows you to browse the filesystem for the file needed to display the subtitles.

For future reference, there is a dedicated Kodi thread... Kodi related topics belong there...

Free and good live sports....

I only know one that is reliable.

China CCTV5+ in HD. But it comes with Chinese commentary.

This channel can be found in a many apps, even Kodi, I think.

Right now, s Korea plays Indonesia in Thomas cup semi final.

Tonight 7pm, Malaysia plays Denmark in other semi final.



China is generous with their live broadcasts, no blocks, no charge.

Hi guys newbie here. I want to buy an android tv to replace my astro. Just wondering which android tv is good for me? At first thought want go grab the xiaomi but i've read somewhere the xiaomi one is chinese so no for me as i cant read chinese. Budget below rm400

exactly.. it's really the same UI like a Bravia Smart TV.

wonder when can i purchase it to get my old 2010 Samsung LCD up and running like my Bravia.

yr old samsung... is it a 4ktv? if not, it will not be able to display what the 4k box can deliver.

it will work, but the uhd4k features will not be utilized.

sony, sharp, philips 4k tv's now come with same class of android but may have bigger memory.
it is indeed very convenient to have android apps in the tv for viewing all kinds of stuff but w/o hd audio.
for hd audio playback, will need some other box.


this mibox 4k:
http://www.mi.com/en/mibox/#specs

4k 60fps
2/8gb
marshmallow 6.0
dts/dd

can't pass thru dtshdma/ddtruehd/dd atmos - too bad, will not appeal to home theater owners playing bluray/bdmv for hd audio.

there is nothing that can replace astro if u mean the exact contents.

if u mean alternatives, possible.

if u take time to write a bit abotu below, maybe users can provide some useful comments for you.

shoot, you're right - it's not even a 4K TV..
was too excited to see the UI, I totally forgot about it.

Many thanks.

Happy and satisfied with my Himedia after about 5 months of using and exploring it.

A lot of variety than the tunnel choices in ASXXX!

Will be an eye opener for us watching the Olympics with TV box!

Great and thanks for the guidance. Will google more before flash to new fw. By the way can I flash the fw to the latest instead of going one by one? Sorry for the noob question. Hahaha

True...

Aw c'mon... Every TV deserves some love..

You are welcome... IMO, cuz the box shipped with a 2014 FW, means its either running the 003 firmware or below. So to be safe:
1. Manually flash the 005 FW
2. Allow it to boot successfully then,
3. Manually flash the latest 008 FW.

Hi, thanks for your reply!
1. im using unifi 20mbps, so i guess streaming wont be problem
2. Use wifi, my modem n router upstairs.
3. Only english, i dun understand mandarin.
4. all movies,tv shows if possible. Examples im watching GoT, True detectives, house of cards, mr robot, etc..
5. Yes all sports
6. Only HD
7. Not sure about audio as I just use TV speaker. Might grab one later...
8. Yes if possible, prefer netflix n HBO
9. ahem.. yes
10. If given instructions I think I'll manage to do it
11. budget rm 300-400. If good android tv box I'll consider bumping a bit budget. rm50 max tho

First you need to manage your expectations..

Hi

I am planning to buy a android box.
Either Himedia H8 octa or Mibox 3 Pro or any other recommended ??
Which one will be better suited?
Main use will be for those aztro, occasional gaming and hd movies.
Will connect only with ethernet and for mibox will buy an ethernet adapter.
Prefer to have Play store as I want to minimize sideloading and have easy app updates.
Also prefer english UI
Also can stream movie and music from file server

Thank you
