Update.

so this one they provided google playstore with it ?

Yes it's with the Play Store, unfortunately unable to install any other 3rd party apps from other than Play Store. Now only can have IPTV app in it.

I do not have this box, but the old fashioned hypptv box.
And other androids.
This android from unifi, don't expect much.
From what I read elsewhere, it is like pulling yr hair to get it to work.
Keep in mind it is a cheap android, probably blocked n locked in many ways.
Memory probably way too small.
I would think u need to hack it upside down to get a couple of miserable peanuts.
Don't waste yr time, go buy a real android... Durians and other marvelous fruits waiting for u.

also can install kodi

Spec:
1. Chipset (Hi-Silicon) Hi3719C
2. CPU Speed 1.2 GHz, Dual-core 6000 DMIPS
3. RAM 1.0 GB
4. Flash Memory 4 GB
5. 2D/3D Graphic Engine
6. Android OS 4.4
7. H.264, AAC, MPEG2. TS, Divx, 1080p, 720p
8. HDCP, Macrovision

Anybody tried to play with it? Or install apk files?

oh with Play Store. good job tm

Youtube apps already install?

The following is what I did, can work with any Android .APK files.

1. Download and install "ES File Explorer File Manager" from Google Play store.
2. Download and put .APK file into a Pendrive, or SD Card with PC.
3. Open "ES File Explorer File Manager", navigate to Pendrive's directory (SD Card/External drive).
4. Press "Enter" on the .APK to install.

I prefer install "ShaFa GuanJia" (沙发管家), it is a TV version of Google Play store, full of TV compatible apps.

P.S. Remember to enable "Install application from Unknown Source".

I can't login into play store on this model. When signing in it says not provisioned for data..Any way around it?

You need to go to the settings and enable wifi first, it uses wifi for Internet.

I've been trying to play around with this new STB. Logging in to the play store works, but Astro on the Go for example is not compatible so can't be installed.

I installed MX Player since the built-in player screws up aspect ratios. It works but I cannot figure out how to load anything from a network drive or from the external USB. Browsing around with just the remote and a keyboard is also a pain.

Might poke around a bit more but this doesn't seem to worth the effort IMO, my Amazon Fire Stick and Rpi has more potential and much wider support.

Just realised that Lan Port 4 on the default Unifi WiFi Router (Residential Gateway) is a VLan dedicated only for HyppTV IPTV channels.
When you try to plug in to other Lan Ports other than Lan Port 4, the HyppTV cannot work.
But when you plug back to Lan Port 4, HyppTV works but Internet cannot be accessed via the HyppTV Set Top Box (STB).

But thanks to my brother who was playing around with the settings in the HyppTV Set Top Box, we discovered that you can enable Wifi on it and use Wifi connection to surf the Internet from the HyppTV Set Top Box while still be able to watch HyppTV IPTV channels via the dedicated IPTV Lan Port 4.

So using the Wifi connection, I can go to the Google Play app and install apps like KODI.

How to connect Unifi HyppTV Set Top Box (White color Huawei EC6108V8) to wi-fi network for internet access

Just click on settings and under Wireless & Network, ensure that the checkbox to Enable WLAN has been ticked/enabled.



HyppTV STB not able to sideload apk files - Update 1

After receiving firmware updates specifically for this Set Top Box, I can now sideload apk file of apps using a thumbdrive and ES File Explorer.


For those of you who have encountered the page cannot be displayed error message with an Error Code 108005, and also problems with not able to connect to the NTP server, below are my workaround solutions.

ErrorCode: 108005



At the same time I also encountered the NTP Server error message too.

After trying the whole day, I managed to solve both problems.

How to solve the NTP Server error



The solution is to set it to another NTP server by changing the IP Address of the default one to 128.199.84.169


How to solve the HyppTV IPTV connection problem ErrorCode: 108005



After trying all sorts of things and by random chance, I managed to solve this issue by fiddling around with the Set Ethernet option.

What I did was I changed it from Static IP to DHCP and did a reboot. After that my HyppTV IPTV connection was re-established and I could watch my HyppTV Channels.

Solution to missing YouTube app after firmware update by TMnet

For those of you who lost the Youtube app on your HyppTV Set Top Box, I managed to find a solution on how to get YouTube back.
You will need to install Kodi or SPMC (I prefer SPMC) first. Then after that install the YouTube Kodi Add-on

Hi loli,

Hi Mopeng
U already connected to WiFi?, you can use the browser to check whether u have internet connection. Else, you may go to settings and connect to WiFi.

You also need to connect to your Google acct. To download stuff.

Let me know if this helps

Manage to access playstore. Im just change the existing LaN4 to LAN3.

Now Im not sure which ess file manager to install and i notice when i clicked install, bottom part shown "Error retrieving information from server"

Any suggestion?

No wonder I cant d.load the ess file from play store. The WLAN was disconnected after a few second. All LAN1 until LAN3 i'm tested were unable to get stable connection. If used LAN4 can't even access the Play Store.

Need helps pls..

I had the connectivity problem at first, connected to WIFI, could access internet through browser but couldn't access the Play Store (gave me some no connection error).

I restarted my router and the hypptv box a couple of times then it started working. Not sure what the problem was and what fixed it. But after that I could access the Play Store, I installed Kodi through it.

Oh and also in case anyone doesn't know, you can plug in a mouse/keyboard through the USB port and it will work. I tried it with a Logitech K400.

Hi, anyone know if this Android box can decode/passthrough 5.1 audio using kodi?

Finally upgraded to 30MBps today.

Was happy with the new Android Box. Installed some Apps from Shafa and it's working fine.

Kodi is fast.

Kmediatorrent is working and TRUEHD and DTS-HDMA able to passthrough to my sony HTiB. LPCM shown on the receiver and able to get 5.1.

It's a bit more responsive than RPi2.

Overall satisfied with the new STB

CCLINE is for DVB-S Dekoder... like astro decoder and skybox and openbox..

To watch astro, you need to install either MYIPTV or HDTV or CloudsTV and then subscribe to the service

Did you root it?

Btw can try to install KODI aka XBMC see can or not?

Whats the specs of the STB?

Yes Kodi is running well.

Specs are mentioned in the first page of this thread.

Any way to cast from laptop to this android box?

Today I encountered the page cannot be displayed error message with an Error Code 108005

Problem occur again.
I can surf the internet (google, yahoo, etc using the TV) by putting the cable at LAN3..but, i can't login into the playstore. An error appeared as below. Any suggestion guys?

Thanks for this. What IP is 128.199.84.169, or rather, who does it belong to?

Anyone tried wireless keyboard/mouse on the new android box? I plan to buy logitech k400r but wonder if it usable o not

Usable with mouse and keyboard, tried using wireless kb and mouse combo from microsoft

Just received ec6108v8 after new unifi installation.
With both wifi and lan2 or lan3 combination, google play cannot connect. youtube also cannot connect.
Using browser is OK, can connect to internet, watching youtube, etc.
Tried force stop, clear data, etc.
Any other ideas, please?

is there a way to remove my google account? I am just afraid that my sequence was wrong. before connecting to wifi, i tried setting up google account. Just worried if the STB somehow store the user id/password somewhere somehow.
Please help .. thanks.

how you enable "Install application from Unknown Source"?

my setting is not the normal android setting. it's the setting for the STB itself. there is no security setting to enable that thing.

------------------------------

ok managed to get to android setting

1. install kodi
2. go to programs, apps
3. scroll down and you can see 2 settings. 1 is for android and 1 is for STB

there u can enable install from unknown source

Hi, i was trying on connect to the wifi, but is keep on failing. wonder what is the problem?
It say there authentication error.

i have same problem as lucifer93. If using different LAN Port, cannot access to Play Store and if try to download from browser, it says download not supported. please help

U must understand. If u wanna watch hypptv, u need to plug it into that special LAN port for hypptv. If u need internet access, u have to enable WiFi via the STB settings.

That special LAN port is only to receive Hypptv TV channels.

Singapore NTP server.

It means your WiFi password got a typo error. Maybe u type in the wrong password.

I managed to install KODI via the Google Play app via my Hypptv STB using WiFi connection.

I had the same problem initially ( see my earlier post). Then one day I noticed my internet connection very slow. Then suddenly I noticed my Hypptv STB settings menu looked different , and I figured they must have push out some firmware update to my Hypptv STB.

Immediately I turn on the WiFi on my Hypptv STB, and tried both YouTube and Google Play app. Finally it worked.

So maybe u also need to wait for a firmware update

I undestand that. My problem is that if using wifi it can connect and get the ip (which mean no typo on the password) but after a dew seconds the wifi disconnected. If i plug the STB into different Port (other than Port 4) i can access the internet (i use the browser, which means connectivity is okay) but cannot access PlayStore.

Can you provide the picture of your current Hypptv STB setting?

Mine has a very slow WiFi connection still need to use LAN port through. Working on a root soon - should be easy since we have APK access .

if u find the way to root this box, plz let us know.... TQ

I try to stream kodi 1080p movie ending up disappointed cuz its not powerfull enuff to run the full hd movie... Hq is alright.. But up ti 720 u can already see the jitters and lag... My openelec pi2 run smootly in comparison..

Hello everyone,

Been using this ec6108v8 with kodi to stream my movies through my nas, just today there's been a frequent disconnection on wifi while watching a movie, anyone facing this problem? I'm using the wifi connected to my router within the same room.

Restaring both units doesn't help.

hi guys.

i managed to connect my STB to wifi connection and can access to google play store. however, my problems are:

1) whenever i tried to download app from play store, "error retrieving information from server" pop-up at the bottom.

2) i cannot connect to the pre-installed youtube in the STB as well. please advise if you guys have any solution to this.

i had re-boot the STB couple of times but it didn't worked. appreciate your advise, guys. thanks in advance!
