Hi, All just updated my to this EC6108V8 STB, complained to 100 that my old box got problem and after 2 days they sent a technician to change the box. The old box still have warranty so the customer service says the replacement is FOC.

On the other hand, read through this thread and managed to get the Play Store working and installed some apps via downloaded apks. China Live TV app like TV plus and Xiao Wei TV is working well with this box as I installed them via Shafa Market.

Iflix is working well and the box is playing 720p videos (using VLC or MX Player) without issue from USB drive without problem. Not sure about 1080p videos though.

Tried installing Youtube which is playable but the UI is not loading correctly, can anyone advise which version is working well with this box?

you'll need to sideload it, i just download the latest version of iflix.apk
on the first run you just ignore without login...on 2nd run once it detects that you are on unifi...it will proceed without the login screen (1 year free iflix)

i tried watching flash and arrow ...and it worked fine.

I just need to login to playstore, cant access youtube .
If i use apk on usb drive , i still cant install. theres no file explorer,only have default media explorer that reads photo, music and videos.I triedĀ  laugh.gif
Seems like no way to install apk not event to run them .Could i connect my box to PC using usbĀ  to manual install or dump apk file into box, maybe copy from usb to internal media box.? hmm.gif

You'll need to log in to playstore and install ES File Explorer first, with this you can access apk files on your USB drive.
If there's error after u sign in to Playstore, you'll need to clear cache + data app for Playstore and reboot the setup box.

There are some instructions earlier in this thread. Have fun!!

Out of curiosity do TM provide any firmware update for this box?
If i am using any IPTV, any possibility of them blocking it with firmware update?

Thinking of subscribing to IPTV package and ditch Asstro. brows.gif

Yes.. that's why my friend isn't use her ID for the Astro on the go at all. It's kind of her letting me use it now..

Just tested yesterday night after got home. Our playstore in Unifi STB doesn't allow to install Astro On The Go app. It's says incompatible. So I downloaded the apk using browser and transferred it via USB thumb drive and installed. Installation authentication with genuine ID all worked well.. streaming astro sports channel is absolutely beautiful..!

Can you navigate AOTG with the HyppTV remote? I found it quite troublesome. I plug in a mouse to use AOTG.

Now I am thinking to terminate my multi-room subscription, and purely us AOTG in my room for Astro.

Laggy in which sense? Laggy when watching or navigating the app or both?

while navigating in the app feels like not smooth....but watching the channels and even movies are fine.

I'm not sure what are the channels will be available. hmm.gif

Quite a numbers of channels available actually...and there's some VODs.
I find it adequate for me to cancel my multi-room subscription.

Does it follow the subscriptions we have? Or only limited to few channels?
Our subscription is quite adequate for me and if it works then I don't need to depend on the free IPTV I have in my box. Only use those IPTV for other countries' channels. biggrin.gif tongue.gif

It doesn't follow the full Astro subcriptions, limited but not only a few channels la.

Free IPTV?? Which one? brows.gif Good content?? I want to try can?? What IPTV apps you have in your box...kindly share bro (i know u are not)..haha...

Hi, i have installed youtube for android tv latest version

my youtube app is showing only 1 preview

You can check the version you installed. Dont get the latest 1.3.8 version, use the 1.2.7 version. With this version you can have previews just like Android TV.
I tried installing the latest it wont work, but found out from some posts earlier that the the older version is working. smile.gif

Bro, happy.gif ...i think you installed the correct version that's why.

How to reboot/restart the HyppTV beside pressing the on/off button behind ? 

Any physical button or setting we can access via remote control to trigger reboot?

hmm.gif
*
Just curious, any particular reason to reboot via remote control.

Seems that you have managed to solved your youtube problem bro tongue.gif

But something is missing from this version of youtube, I dont seems to be able to access the channel from the current video that I am watching.
For example I am watching one clip, but i would like to check what this user / channel have uploaded but I dont seems to find it. Is there a way to do it?

Hi all,

This version of youtube works on my EC6108V8  :-

http://shouji.baidu.com/software/9815319.html

Version : 11.29.55

If it works and it suits your need why not? I think this is a mobile version.
There's another version for android TV.

To me, TV is just mobile phone in horizontal position.

As long as the app can play videos in 720p fullscreen.
*
Yes, you can put it that way.
For me I prefer the android TV version as it's easy to navigate using a remote controller.

If I'm hardworking, I will try yours. I'm using the one shared earlier by fellow forummer and it plays instantly after APK is installed. No need to do any extra step or facing with any error.

Haha...This means you are lazy? tongue.gif

Btw, have you tried watching live stream on youtube with that Android TV youtube app? It says server error sad.gif
When i tried to watch the same live stream on PC or other TV box it's okay.

Maybe it's time to switch app or even switch box...haha
