hi guys, i just got my beelink mx3 ii few days back, and i was using a Venz V10 player from year 2009, its a Realtek Chip (RTD1185) with 2GB NAND flash storage. there is also no capabilities to install software. Its those old

So i tested some movie files on both to compare. Was suprised the old Venz player produce much better video quality in terms of details and colour reproduction compared to the beelink. and it was able to take DTS or AC3 audio.
Just wondering why because theoretically the beelink should do better in terms of tech? or is it because the old player is fully using HW decoder and the newer players are all on Android based ?

sorry if my terminologies are off, not very good at this stuff haha.

This is about android box H96 Pro+ I mentioned sometimes last November.
There are two extra USB ports next to TF card slot.
I made some cuts on the casing to expose these usb ports.

There are functioning! rclxms.gif

who design the box…lol.
first time see this hidden usb ports…lol.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jan 14 2017, 01:25 AM)
What do you guys do with so many ports? Mine comes with 4 USB ports but I only use one. laugh.gif
*
same reason with nikrizal.

mine comes with 3 usb ports and 1 otg port.

QUOTE(nikrizal @ Jan 14 2017, 07:28 AM)
Well, three ports are good enough for me. One is for the air mouse, the other one permanently for
the hardisk linked to Kodi.

The third one is for the flash drive when needed.
*
yea…same.
but i use k400 plus instead of air mouse.

yup...totally wierd, when it has build-in port yet, the they conceal it?

Or could it be over consumption causes some implications?

Hmm, this is tempting me to open up my box as well
*
if u plan to use all 4 usb ports all the time, maybe u should consider upgrade your power adapter.

standard adapter shall be 5v 2a.

each port 500ma, 4 ports needs 2a, chipset another 500ma - 1a.

so 5v 3a adapter is better.

Anyone can suggest me android tv box that can provide Malaysia Tv or more too More to translated korean tv show.

Currently i live in Japan but i need the box for my mother who will staying for a month here.

Thank you in advance

u must understand android tv box is a combination of hardware + software.

for hardware, just get any S905 chipset tv box with 2GB ram and 16GB storage, and get an air mouse as well (any with gyro sensor will do).

for software, you need to find yourself, you can try to install in your android phone.

Got this working! Thanks. biggrin.gif

I just noticed one more issue, I'm using PC speaker and my left side of my speaker is not working... Tried with PC, it is working well. Just on this box. hmm.gif It seems only happening today. Anything I can do? hmm.gif
Tried on few apps and Kodi, the same. hmm.gif Anyone can advise me?
*
most probably 3.5mm pin problem.

tv box 3.5mm output is left right audio plus video.

pc speaker 3.5mm connector is only left right audio.

so, it depends on the connector design. some works some not.

pc speaker 3.5mm connector: left + right + ground

tv box 3.5mm connector: left + right + video + ground

Yes, through headset AV port.
I don't think it has. hmm.gif
I'm using HDMI to my LED PC monitor with no speaker output. If TV, then no issue with audio output.

Amp does not have hdmi  sweat.gif
If direct from box optical out convert to RCA into amplifier, the HDMI still able to output sound to TV? Becoz only going to use Amp/speaker when karaoke only.

i am using like that too.

as long the sound setting in android tv box set to pcm or spdif.
if set to hdmi then only hdmi got sound. that's how my box works.

just get any S905 chipset tv box with 2GB ram and 16GB storage together with an air mouse with gyro capability will do and refer quote below:

the key word is CAN.

stop thinking in terms of a box all ready to do what u want permanently - it does not work like that.

think in terms an empty fridge, what food u or others will put in it.

u can put good food or garbage in it.

after a while, the food will rot, need to junk rotten and get fresh.

when u buy a box, there CAN be some food inside.

but they may not be what u want, so u need to find and put in what u want.

takes work n maintenance to keep going.

all fridge can store your meat, but don't ask where can buy nice pork. it's kind of haram question here.
