Hi. Can i get the tracking number for the parcel? Thanks

Nicety,

Wanna ask does the vst sports provided has LIVE games or it is only replay and updates on soccer

Thanks

VST itself does not produce any live tv but actually it relay most of the China live tv channels, there are few China TV channels that have live sports if you can read Chinese.

Sorry for the delay, just sent you the tracking number. Thousand appologies.

Nicety,

Used my H8 last night and surprise, surprise, it started with the Androidsymbol rather than the usual Himedia word on the screen. It was updating. Took some time and later when the main menu appeared, the bottom favourites menu is gone now.

AA
Is this Android update? I thought I have disabled the auto update.

BB
Any settings I need to adjust after this Android update?

CC
To set my own favourites at the screen bottom, just use the + button to add. Right?

Thanks.

To further understand your question, pls email or whatsapp me some screen you describe above.

Hi, nicety, i'm interested in H8. Can u pm me ur hp no? i want to whatssap coz got few question to ask.

Just pmed to you, pls feel free to ask.

A quick update here.

AA
Updated to the latest H8 firmware 1.0.7

BB
Upgraded Kodi V14 to V15

CC
Upgraded Android to xxx (can't remember the version now).

Why so many updates? It started a few days ago on starting up my H8, it updated the Andriod WITHOUT me initiating it. Surprised to see the Android symbol on the startup as we do not normally see that on starting up.

With a number of emails with Nicety seeking his help, managed to complete the 3 updates. Many thanks!

Copied all the latest APK files in Nicety's skydrive and tried to install them on my H8. Surprised that half way through the APK files, it says running out of space! Can't be, we have 16 GB RAM. The APK files are about 1 GB only. Installing is done in the 2 GB ROM? Cannot be.

Please clarify where am I going wrong here. Thanks.

P/S If there is an APK QQQ installed earlier, if I install it again, I assume that the system will not allow me to reinstall QQQ again until I uninstall it first. Right?

If it allows duplicate installation, that may partly explain why I am running out of space with duplicates.

Goto Settings - More - storage, you could see the free storage space.

There are three partition in your 16GB flash memory:

1). Kernel
2). internal memory 2GB ( app partotion )
3). Flash space 12GB ( file partition )

I have many APK files in my skydrive, pls don't install all. Just install necessary apps and uninstall the none usable apps. I believe your app partition already full if you install most of the APK files from my skydrive. Please check your storage free space.

P/S : pls skydrive has 5 steps quick restore Kodi, the Kodi 15.2 configuration files already available in the skydrive.

Thanks for the infor on the 3 partitions.

AA
Possible to increase the 2 GB app partition to say 4 GB?

BB
Strange that this is Android architecture (in Window, one can install as many programs as one likes as long as the hd allows. Running the programs, however, will be limited by the ROM).

Tried to delete some apps. Some successful and some not. There are some phone related apps in there. When I tried to uninstall, it does not have this uninstall option. Only clear memory. Please advise on how to uninstall apps like this.

CC
Wonder what is the file partition for? So much free unused space there.

DD
With low memory space, this affects running Kobi, stuck here and there. How much free space should I aim for?

EE
Doing this updating has helped me in knowing more on Android and Kobi.

Discovered that there are some good apps ( Movie HD, Movie Tube, etc etc). Tried a few movies and I could watched them without any bad links rejection. In some ways, better than Kodi where at times, it is try, try and try. User interface is better in Kodi (nicer graphic), however.


Cheerio.

H8 is Android 5.1. As per my understanding, myiptv only support Android 4.x and below, you only could opt for old android box with 4.x and below.

Unfortunately. we do may have old android box in stock anymore. Only latest model with android 5.1 available.

AA). The partition is fix in the factory, unable to increase.
P/S : pls don't install too many apps in the box, install only usable apps to avoid slow down. Some apps might cache in the memory when boot up.

BB). The same is in the Windows, the only different is most of the windows partition in single partition and typical PC has 300GB -500GB of harddisk space compare to 16GB flash memory in Android box. Those apps without "uninstall" are factory install apps, you can only uninstall the apps you installed.

Hints : some of the app has option "move to SD", goto settings - more - apps - sd card.

CC). File partition is emulated your SD card, you store movies, backup APK files and etc. if you use Popcorn Time or P2p streaming apps, this partition is very important for staging of large movie file.

DD). Already mentioned in the getting started guide, always remain 200MB space for Kodi.

EE). Yes, I agreed with you some apps are more user friendly then Kodi, that is the reason we share in the skydrive. But please use it low profile to avoid blocking by local ISP. I do not publish those apps openly due to this.

Many thanks once again for your reply.

Please suggest to Himedia to increase the 2GB to 8-10GB for future models. I know someone will fill up no matter how much space is there. But less people will be complaining and experiencing this problem. Ha.

Yes, saw the "move to SD card" option when I was trying to delete some apps. Will try this later.

I have about 170 MB free. Will try to delete some more apps.

Sorry for mentioning the good apps in your Skydrive. Those reading this, just delete that from your memory! Ha.

Cheerio.

Thank you for information. I believe the myiptv will look into this issue and hopefully new apk will solve the problem.

Yes, you are right. New android box come with Android 5.x, if myiptv would like to continue support the customers, they have to enhance the app to support latest Android version.

Thank you for inquiry.

Wrapper is nothing much, just use the wrapper script to edit the playercorefactory.xml such that Kodi use HIMEDIA native player to play media file in Kodi instead of use Kodi player. We do not recommend to use Wrapper in the Kodi because some addon not compatible and end with "External Player..." error. As already mentioned in Q5 thread :
1). Use himedia native player to play offline media file from HDD or NAS.
2). Use Kodi Player when you stream from Kodi addons. Kodi player has its special feature and works well with Kodi addons.

H8 do not use Kodi wrapper, Kodi player works well in H8. However Himedia native player has more audio video codec, please use Himedia native player for offline media streaming as mentioned above. And do not use MX player in the Kodi, you will end with external player error. Kodi are well test in Kodi player by Kodi developer.

The last questioned already answered in the first paragraph. Always back to basic, don't go into complicated stuff.
