HI all,

Has anyone used MiBox supported by KODI before?
Found a seller below:
mibox kodi


And I'm quite interested with it.


Please let me know if there's any issue with this box/mod so that I can start looking for others. (Completely clueless in this area)

Hi...anyone that can help me with the above question?

Thanks

May I know where I can get RPI2?
Was also looking at HiMedia Q2, Q3 & Q5 as recommended by other forumers - do let me know where I can get the box that has RPI2.

Thanks!

Appreciate the quick response - is there a box that I can just buy which I can just plug n play?

Not very good with these stuffs

For my case - I am the type that would wanna just bring it home ... plug it into my TV and start watching. I understand that most ready-to-use box are in Chinese interface whereas the shows will be in English. I am perfectly fine with that.

So to answer your questions, I just wanna push buttons. I do not mind increasing my budget if I can get a better box like the Q16 if there's a valid reason to pick it over the Q1/3/5/etc.

Of course prefer to buy locally where I can get support easily or at least CALL the person for quick troubleshoot if a problem occurs.
I have not used these boxes before but seeing there's so many firmware updates / patches / etc ... I do think that it can get quite tedious if the stuff suddenly stops working.

Thanks for the directory, will definitely be in touch with the buyer on the suitable models.

That is the seller that recommended me to go with HiMedia

Should I opt for a Minx unit instead?

Hello, have spoken to few of the LYN sellers and have come to the conclusion of either of the following device:

1. HiMedia Q16
Advantage - Dedicated app - HiTV to watch more Asian Dramas/Movies

2. Minix H8
Advantage - XBMC a.k.a KODI (seller also mentioned that theres apk to install to watch asian dramas/movies on H8)

Honestly, to me the advantages does not make much of an impact because I won't tinker around with it.
I just wanna turn it on and watch. Home internet will be TIME Unlimited 10mbps Fibre Broadband.

Price wise, HiMedia is cheaper than Minx by at least RM100.

With those in mind, can you recommend me one that I should go for?

Anyone experience the problem where video playback will very often have no sound? I have to pause / play (repeat process) until I get sound, which will drop off after 10 minutes or so.

Another issue is a lot of add-ons are incompatible, kept showing the "Do I want to disable the add-on" error ... On first start, I will usually get about 10 ~ 15 of these popups.

TV Box - Himedia H8 (OctaCore) - Bought it from a forumer on LYN.

Recently did a fresh install of Isengard

First time - Had the red mute icon on the top right. Uninstalled and reinstalled, the icon was gone. As for add-ons, I've actually downloaded like a zip folder where I just copy/paste all the add-ons in. Link / file shared by the seller.

Connection is sound bar -> HDMI -> TV. Every other apps such as Popcorn / Newest Movie HD are fine with no issues with the sound at all. Only Kodi/XMBC has such issue. When I first got the box, Kodi worked perfectly until I had to reinstall because video playback would suddenly just stop and bounce me back to the selection menu.

So now, the videos won't suddenly stop and bounce me back to the selection menu but instead - videos will just have no sound, which is really annoying. I can try to do a reinstall again but I figured the result will be the same, it might be the add-ons that I installed through the seller's link, lots of incompatible add-ons. Keep getting pop-up saying add on is not compatible, should I deactivate it etc.

Otherwise, can I just do a clean install and install the add-on 1 by 1 myself through XBMC?

If I do a fresh install of Jarvis, how do I manually install the add-ons such as Genesis or other add-ons 1 by 1? Honestly I only use this one Add-on to watch all my English series (which I can't think of it's name now)

Can I actually find/install add-ons within Jarvis?

Thank you both for your easy instruction.

The other addon that I always use is 1Channel

Anyone encountered the issue where texts in Jarvis are not displaying correctly?

It's being displayed in blocks which is unreadable. I've download this through the play Store.

What can I do to remedy this?
