I just got the Minix X8-H Plus and the iflix app plays movies with a black screen (sound is perfectly fine and UI is still responding so the iflix app is not hanging). Anybody have the same problem and solved it?

Just updated the iFlix app (update just showed up in the evening), still same black screen. Have now done the clear data which was no help (Using the free year for Unifi subscriber with no account need)

Anybody who has their iFlix currently working on their Minix X8-H plus??? Or if you have an older version that is working, what is the iFlix app version?

I tried again and still black screen, I really wonder why is it that you had no problems. Is it TV or something else ? I have it connected to Panasonic Plasma TV via normal HDMI.

Appreciate your advice
It seems that I am on the stock factory firmware KOT49H.20141122
(Weird that the check for update via the pre-installed update app did not detect there were updates which is why I had wrongly assumed I was on the latest firmware)

Will do a clean flash to FW008 (20151231) once I get it downloaded.
Hope that fixes my problem.

iflix works now on my Minix X8-H Plus with FW008 (the only problem is that subs cannot be selected any more
iflix Subs FIXED: Simply keep exiting/restarting the iflix movie playback until the subtitle box appears at the bottom right!

When the iflix movie plays and only shows the single scrollbar at the bottom, just click back to the iflix movie page and then click play again. I had to try 2 or 3 times before the subtitle button appeared at the bottom right.

With the latest firmware, Minix Neo X8-H Plus supports iflix and astro-on-the-go (no need to sideload, can install from Google Play store directly). You must not root the the Minix box, otherwise astro-on-the-go will not run though it will still install. Cheapest price if you shop around should be around RM5XX (with airmouse)

See here for Minix Neo X8-H pls update methods (not OTA)

When I got my Minix, it was the stock factory firmware (001), so I was not able to do the OTA (over the air) update as it did not detect there were updates available. I found out that the OTA method from Minix was changed and OTA only worked with firmware version 002 onwards. So I had to do the complete flash method.

Initial flashing is not so difficult, if you're not familiar, probably get someone experienced with flashing Android phones/devices to help or to advise you. Once you're on a compatible firmware version, I think OTA would be better for you assuming that your bandwidth is good enough.

FYI - On stock 001, without the 008 update, my iflix app only showed black screen although audio was working. (Thanks to bro roxx for helping me figure it out)
