Finally after a year, i called TM and lied to them that my old Huawei EC2108E is overheating, they replaced with Huawei EC6108V8. Just like that. They didn't even take back the old box and no signature needed. mad.gif bangwall.gif ranting.gif All these while, I was wasting my money buying raspberry pI 2 and android box

Rant aside,

First thing i did was connect the Rii Keyboard (only RM50+ with lazada voucher, It has backlit keys and touchpad works like mouse.

Second connect 1TB HDD on the other USB port

Then i installed Kodi. Addon Quasar & Exodus

What i need now is Sambadroid to share files with my macbook, but it doesn't work since this unit is not rooted. Please recommend alternative apps.

Another thing, if in the middle of watching movie/ series on kodi, if i switched to Hypptv, and back to Kodi, Kodi will not continue the thing i was watching previously.

How to go about this?

As per your earlier post, you probably "wasted" money on d wrong devices..

As for the above problem, get a proper dedicated media device, a bunch of us did and have no such complaints.  biggrin.gif

yeah perhaps, those devices are cheapos. rclxs0.gif

I just tested 2 movies with 7.1 Dolby TrueHD/ DTS HDMA (5th element & Starwars Force Awaken) lagged & pixelated and the latter cant even start.

but when i tested Remux 7.1 DTS HDMA (Prometheus) it plays smoothly eventhough the remux file is bigger than the above.

It will immediately appears on your Mac finder as android_8dddbb, click that then you have all HDDs,SSD, SD cards NAS that are connected to your hypptv for easy control from your computer.

Have fun. That save a lot from installing sambadroid pro and rooting your device.

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

Now If you really need it, coz the above method already good enough to control your files, anyway here is...


How To access your Mac from your Hyyptv is by using ES explorer installed in Hyptv


Open ES Explorer go to network and click the + sign below and choose SFTP

Hi. Selamat Hari Raya.
I just rooted this STB using KingRoot from xdadeveloper site.
It works. Hypptv and other apps working without problem.  nod.gif [attachmentid=7079288]

Nice find. Any benefit of rooting that you've taken advantage from your hypptv that you could share?

Testing Torrenting 1080p Movies with Quasar Today.

At least 13 movies i'm torrenting simultaneously.
user posted image
Progress view from my mac.

Android_8ddbb is my few hard disks connected to my the Hypptv Box.

sde8 is the storage path for torrented movies


You don't need other client for torrenting, just use Quasar in Kodi. Browse movies and start choosing your best torrent (1080p 5.1 DTS /DD / DTSHDMA/ TrueHD) Once start just cancel and choose other movie. Quasar will do the magic keep torrenting even you switch to watch TV on Hypptv.

The torrent will stop only when you quit kodi. Quasar will continue torrenting when you start Kodi


Do it quick cause all nice movies will have less and less seeders nowadays. They won't be there forever for you especially movies with lossless surround sound.

Good morning all. Finally I got this HyppTV box from my friend who is not using it. The one I have is the previous version but I guess it is too complicated for me when I read the guide to install Google Play Store apk and all.

Now I have some questions and I hope you guys can help me. I will only try doing it when I go back home tonight.

1) I didn't install any HyppTV to my BTU because I don't have a TV set in my rented room and I know it doesn't have any interesting channels for me. Hence, I asked the installer not to do anything about it. My own box is still kept in the original packaging. So now, I got this white box from my friend and I understand HyppTV is binded to each account. I don't mind it because I'm not going to watch HyppTV anyway. My question is, will I be prompted for any login and password when I power it up? Both of us do not know our password... sweat.gif

2) Do I need to plug in to BTU first to do anything or just can power it up and treat it like a standalone Android box then can start setting it up to install apps?

3) I saw there is a micro SD slot, can I install my apps there? I understand the internal storage memory is not much and I might have problems when I stream shows. Or how can I be benefited from this micro SD? What is the maximum capacity of Micro SD that it can read?

Thanks in advance. notworthy.gif

1. I do remember that the installer type in my password, i dunno where he got that from. I said wow you know my password ?

2. The box will only use wifi for other non tv connection.

3. Yes but u need ES Explorer to be installed first using Play Store.

Forgot to update. I got everything working now. biggrin.gif

However, I can't seem to navigate my Popcorn Time to load cache file into my micro SD. hmm.gif Let me explore further.

Micro SD is worse in terms of cache path or torrent path, bad for kodi, i route these to Hard disc

I got this box from a friend and hence I can't use HyppTV on it. I know HyppTV gives free Olympic channels which I want to watch. So what I did was I installed HyppTV Go APK downloaded from APK Pure and play from this app. I have done the registration on my phone using the app as well then just login from my box. It works. rclxms.gif

Hypptv Everywhere apk u mean?

I cant bro, my experience with Kingroot is bad, be it phone or any device, it hangs when rooted with Kingroot

I really need to root as the "DISK INSUFFICIENT" notice is popping now and then is very annoying. I only installed Kodi and ES Explorer that's all and yet storage problem.

What i see when i check Setting> application manager , the one that use up the space is Play store service

Some tips to save space and avoid that annoying no space notification message popups on your screen.

1. Go to settings and force stop and disable any apps that you dont need including Play Store, this culprit always use 100s of MB play store service files that consume space. trust me you dont need the play store after you have ES explorer to install apk.

user posted image
See only these apps left under My Applications


2. Delete Kodi temporary file. You'll be surprised this file can grow up to 1Gb, nothing will happen if you delete them on frequent basis.

Go in here and find the temp folder

Just delete this shit

Kodi - Program - Android Apps - Settings(two Settings here, choose the Android original Settings) - Manage App - Disable

Ex file explorer - internal storage - remove/delete all junks/unwanted files/folders that not associating anything.

Kodi - Program - Android Apps - Settings(as above) - Manage Storage - Clear Cache

Exit Kodi - restart HyppTV STB.

Note: You might have run the same steps as I did.. well, different people gets different luck sometimes..

Currently had already remove browser as well.. never use it anyway..

I did exactly like you did. Still can't remove calculator and voice search. Just like you failed to remove browser, playstore etc with the same method
