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?

Yes, it won't play using its native player with the app. I have installed MX Player and there is another one which I can't remember for now.

The strange part is I have tried it on Minix box (test briefly) apart from my own Remix Android box, it just doesn't seem to work properly. All this happened when I switch to UniFi. There was no issue when I was using Maxis back then.

Gotta explore everything when it comes to troubleshooting.

IMO, looks like the issue is from the individual apps or the box's firmware. Between the app fetching the content, pushing to the default player and the player playing it.. There's an issue.

To assist, you would have to backup and cough up the various problematic apks... Upload unto Gdrive or similar and share.. Send via PM if concerned about losing thy bread.. Tests will be run on Unifi network.

Alternatively, if you've got ample mobile data. Simply connect the device via WiFi to your phone's hotspot and test. That will immediately rule out a TM issue.

Nothing changed actually except from Maxis to TM connection (and its newer TM's Fiber modem). Wish I could access the the Fiber modem inside for R&D purpose though.

Thank you for your feedback and assistance provided.

After obtaining from all your feedback that there is no issue under UniFi for streaming apps, so it seems possibly the issue is as described by Voncrane that "between the app fetching the content, pushing the default player and the player playing it", there is an issue. Individual apps or box firmware is always a possible factor involved. The suggestion changing to phone hotspot was helpful indeed.

Initially, I found the workaround which what I did was:

Launch streaming app > select Custom > Select Kodi 

It plays the movie in Kodi. Again thanks for all of your feedback that not everyone use Kodi to play.

After doing the above, from then on I can launch Cartoon HD, Megabox, Movie HD directly on the app itself.
Not sure what actually is the problem except to suspect its either the Android box native player itself the issue or somehow the streaming app native player issue or something else entirely. Guess, will need to test it further since the solution is not entirely clear.

But thank you for everyone's assistance here. Need to do more testing now.

The Remix OS sounds great (claims easy run of Android & or Android TV apps) and with PC like functionality  hmm.gif interesting. Page also shows it has 5.1 audio passthrough.. Didn't list out specific formats though, so that's up for debate later.

For hardware specs, I think you all know better than me.

Just for sharing.
In terms of software, the Remix OS to me is one of the superior one out there for now.
Launching several apps at the same time on Android is possible with Remix OS and ease of use since it's almost PC like.
Here's a screenshot of the configured Remix OS:

As a seller... It's generally frowned upon in this thread.. As are subtle marketing ploys. I'm sure you understand and no offense meant. That's what the garage sales section is for.

Ah...I see you what you mean.

On the apk esp the streaming one, it's no point hiding it. I see some sellers doing it but it's a waste of time although I understand it's their bread and butter.

But seriously, no point hiding the apk as it's not difficult to extract the apk on Android and share it out.

Agreed. I came in as a user only as I encountered issues coz after all I need to run my own player to enjoy as well besides doing R&D.

Well, bro voncrane did "ask" for it...so our friend here quickly jump in about remix os & screenshot lor...

So far he has refrained from any soft selling...other than getting free "consultation" from us about his problem. laugh.gif

IMHO, the remix io+ is the box to watch out for...the io will be out soon, the mini a bit too underpower as a "pc"... You can usb boot remix os to try on Intel pc and load apks to use/try out...

What I only did was to share Remix OS because it is really that good.
And no, I don't have any to sell now. Our currency is quite bad. Besides, I don't simply sell the common ones of which you can get it out there quite easily and anywhere.

The Remix IO+ is good and can't wait to test it out. I find the Remix OS is more useful as an Android TV box rather than using it for production work. But the Remix OS is quite well written considering the people behind was working at Google before.

What I did recently for R&D is a 'DIY' Android box and testing a few Android OS out there. But to me, the Remix OS is still the superior one.

Long term, I'm not sure how Remix OS can survive longer when Chrome OS can run Android apps easily.

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...
