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!

1) Google DNS - did that.

2) the names of these apps - there are a lot but taking the few common are like Cartoon HD, Movie HD, Megabox HD & etc.

3) what device u r using to stream these apps - Remix Android player.

4) what router r u using now... tm stock or yr own - own (ASUS).

5) what speed u had with maxis and now with unifi - 30 before, now 100.

Most of the time, it throws back the error either cannot play the movie, forever loading apart from being slow.
No such problem when using Maxis.

Were you all able to play all these streaming movie apps including the Chinese ones under UniFi?

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.

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.

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.

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?

All of it, I guess.
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.

That is really weird. Something is not right somewhere.

Gotta explore everything when it comes to troubleshooting.

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.

Thanks for your feedback and assistance provided.

Thanks for your feedback and assistance provided.
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.

Can you share what's the FB group to join in?
I'll contribute where possible.
Thanks!

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:

Don't quite follow, what do you mean by outed yourself?

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.

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.
