q16, q5ii... they get a little hot over long hours.... but, even without mini fan, no problem.

q16 is one good androidtv box at this time. well worth it.

impt thing is to spend time, learn to use it well.

thanks to ctvtec in kodi thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3139601/+1420


like to share these with kodi users which i just tested, good:

bbts livetv is now an addon, u can install easier (as compared to previously using pvr simple client)
http://www.bbtsip.tv/repo.html

formerly xbmctorrent or koditorrent, it is now called kmediatorrent
https://github.com/jmarth/plugin.video.kmediatorrent

enjoy.

i m curious about this... which addon on kodi r u using that gave u this message?

i thought this problem is history... i used to muck around with this advancedsettings.xml (as posted by nicety) last year. but i observed that was no longer necessary with kodi on q16. btw, do try this advancedsettings.xml technique n see if it helps. but u do need to know how to do the file editing/copy n paste between pc->android with es file explorer, may be hard for a new user...

sign of a serious user - that's the ONLY way to learn the device inside out!

mangotv's been throttled for many months now.

good news is the rest incl hitv, puding still ok!



i will be testing a truehd7.1 atmos file, will confirm if q16 can handle it with 1.08 firmware.

lately, youtube lagging, slow, unlike before. many have reported in the broadband threads. it is true.

i think unifi (and others maybe) are starting to block, throttle some popular heavy traffic sites due to fast incr in users while slow in infra investment.

boxing fans,

catch this boxing match LIVE, now at CCTV5 in HD!
Mayweather vs Pacquiao

just a quick update for those who have not gone there yet...



kodi 14.2 works fine, go for it.

popcorn time 2.7 works good.

dolby atmos files pass thru, no problem (with latest q16 firmware).

users, MOBDRO is among the best apps u can get - small size, simple, fast, easy to use and reliable.

only disadvantage is all channels are in sd.

i just checked - skysports 1, 2, sky sports f1, are all working good.

at the same time, these channels... some work, some don't in bbts and iptv stalker in kodi.

i tried this zona a few months ago:
- a russian app
- lack of use of english makes it difficult
- works ok with pc version; limited stuff on android version
- dun need this when there is popcorn

http://www.mediafire.com/download/7cdwbj6t...h/SkyHD_100.apk

i just tried this skyhd.

for a small apk, impressive!

very efficient, fast, easy to use.

ya, would be nice if subs are available.

also, i find 1080p more like 720p and 720p more like 480p.

still, overall, a good app.

thanks.

yes, subs now work with mx player, thanks!


i watched a couple of movies on this skyhd.

no doubt they are "heavily ripped" ones and most of them appear 480p to me but this app is:

.. easy to use
.. fast loading
.. reliable
.. offers very new movies (webrips)

so, for less than star blockbusters, this is an excellent site!

which device r u referring to?

as newer and bigger apps become available, the memory becomes even more impt.



in my experience with q16, it has been good for all the apps i use.

kodi has buffering issues sometimes but i believe it is not due to the device hardware.

others like popcorn, q16 can take even a 6gb video, excellent.

all small apps incl mobdro, skyhd, tv2.0 - piece of cake for q16.

i dunno anything about that device but from the specs, it should be close to q5ii which i hv as well.

q5ii is not bad, but yes, it does not play kodi that well, can't take popcorn and other big apps. but it is still doign a great job with smaller apps.

q16 is quad core, much bigger memory as big as u can get in the market now, i believe.



as to whether it will fit yr needs, nicety can surely assist you.

like to inform kodi users...

there is a good addon called iptv stalker u must try.

it is found in superrepo, so if u already have it, u just need to enable it from the list.

you will be pleasantly surprised with the sports channels, some in hd.

just be careful with the adult section.

looks like some malware got in.

not sure if same, but my friend told me he found a "ringo" or "ring-o" attached to his es file explorer when he ran avast anti-virus.

u should dwnload avast and run it to see what it will find.

mobdro has been updating and changing.

if your current version does not work, get the new apk:

https://mobdro.com/

i had tried this tvapp.so a few weeks ago, disappointed it did not work on the android. works on tablets and pc.

i just tried it again with new firmware 109 and

this tvapp.so is a small yet powerful and stable app, hd.

tvapp + kodi/itpv stalker + mobdro + skyhd + popcorn = all u ever need!



nicety: it still doesn't work on q5ii firmware 109. hope it will with next firmware.

i just tried them, good.

much easier to use compare to via kodi or browser.

thanks.

ah... that will be good. direct apks or adding m3u will be excellent.

kodi is not esp user friendly. i hv seen too many struggle with it!
