check ip address at yr router.

unifi-aus... need to be 192.168.1.1

all yr devices need to follow that.

Would you be kind enough to explain as to why it need to be 192.168.1.1 as the IP range?
If it were using different IP range, what issue would it cause?

Haha... I think you all have more than mine. tongue.gif

It's the common one that I find it strange cannot be played. I don't have such issue when using Maxis.

However, I have found workaround for those apk such as Megabox, Cartoon HD and Movie HD.
I have to change the player to Kodi and only then it can play via Kodi app.
Last time, can just click 'watch now' and it will play with no issue. With UniFi, it doesn't work. Not sure why.

Unfortunately, for those Chinese apk can't select to change the player unless they have Kodi extension I presume.

every service provider uses a unique IP address.

u can't use any address, just like the postman will not be able to find yr house if u use any area code, any address.

TM and TM routers 192.168.0.1
TM and other routers 192.168.1.1

i do not know what maxis or TIME uses.

u can google and read all about providers, router setup, connectivity, etc.


have u tried it?

Thanks for your assistance. For a LAN IP, it shouldn't matter as the user can choose either the default that comes with their router or change to one that suits them for specific reasons. But I supposed no harm in trying.

Just to check with you all. Do you all use Kodi mostly to play all the streaming app in your Android player?
Seems like you guys/gals don't have such problem when using UniFi all this while.

I went to a customer place once to set up the Android player but couldn't get those streaming apps to run properly as they are using UniFi and TM's router that comes with it. So I thought perhaps it's a UniFi issue. Even the installer says TM block a lot of streaming apps in UniFi as I was told but not sure if it's true or not.

Keywords in that ad: Female RCA & VGA-Out.. What you should be looking for is VGA-In and Male RCA.

Something like this.

Pro opinion? Waste! Even the Supreme leader Nvidia Shield only ships with 3GB RAM. It's all about rock solid firmware on a good hardware combo.

I see. Is all those apps played via Kodi only?
If you don't use Kodi but play the movie/drama using those streaming app directly, does it work on UniFi?

Just switch from Maxis Fibre to UniFi Fibre. Noted that a lot of streaming app does not work in UniFi while there is no issue in Maxis.

How do you all resolved the problem?

Thanks!

All of it, I guess. tongue.gif
Usually, I experiment it on my side first to test out everything.

In any case, I just switched to UniFi for various reasons. Come to think of it now, perhaps should have stick with Maxis for a while longer. But contract signed already so can't terminate it unless willing to bear the penalty.

Your case is very strange...

Yes, Lan ip is internal and can be anything...as long as dhcp is working and serving the box proper address, dns is not tm's so it's not blocked there...

So the box has internet, the apps I presume pulls the movie posters...but it just won't play through its native player...right?

No...wait...don't buy...

Your DVD out is yellow/composite-video out? Tell us about that...

You wanna play DVD to your PC monitor right? And your monitor in is VGA only...

You will probably need an "AV to VGA converter", not just a cable...
