Hi guys, Im new to kodi, recently got an android box with hdmi input, was wondering is there a way to set up so that astro can be watched via kodi itself instead of having multiple hdmi input at my panel? (i already used up the two hdmi input and im trying not to get a switcher). The android box itself comes with recorder software but i noticed the quality of the astro that pass through the software is bad compared to directly connecting the cable to tv.

I remember watching something like you want in youtube. Never really tried it yet but if you google "astro in xbmc" might give you some ideas.

Saw the same video, however the guys used another pc to host the front end. I wish I can just directly stream it on xbmc instead. Instead of going through another devices.

I re-read your post and notice that your android box have hdmi input, as such the idea. Maybe if you share the model of the android box people with similar one be able to comments better. Seems like its more in relation to the specific device as I think most box have no hdmi input...

Sorry about that, I should've been more specific. I owned a Zidoo x9, got it early this year. smile.gif

Wow, you got me really interested in your machine, there is a "HDMI IN" app in Zidoo x9, can't if do a passthrough? Or is is just for recording. i.e. can't you plug in astro to the hdmi in and watch it using the "HDMI IN app"?

From what I google kodi can't do that passthrough yet....

It can do recording and passthrough, but the quality outputted (not sure if thats a word) was bad on my 4k panel when it upscale the astro to 4k, but when i play a 720p movie on my panel it looks fine. I suspect the hdmi in app isnt that good, but im no engineer all this is based on my on assumption. But overall the box is really good.

Very nice. A bit off topic, how much and where do you purchase it from and have you try running hypptv everywhere on it? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...ei.pad.tm&hl=en

Hi sorry for late reply, bought it directly from china, have yet to try hypptv, as im not subscribed to one, will let you know if i can borrow friend's account or something. Anyone know any app that can accept HDMI passthrough?
