all those cheap android tv box work like this if we reset it:

- factory firmware loaded.
- automatically install apk(s) in pre-install folder in firmware.
- automatically copy the org.xmbc.kodi from firmware to internal memory.
- tada…kodi is full with junk add-ons again

one can choose to uninstall the kodi with junk comes with the box and install back from google play, or uninstall it then browse the pre-install folder using es file explorer and install it back

i use spmc instead
u can try uninstall kodi then install spmc, use back the confluence skin, it will looks identical with kodi.

there is a org.xbmc.kodi.tar.gz file inside the root folder. you can copy it out to pc and unzip it and see what inside. i extract the default wallpaper for my spmc use

as long no reset your box then the junk add-ons will not come out after uninstall kodi.

others i don't know. my box only comes with mx player 1.8.6, netflix, and kodi 16.1 with that org.xbmc.kodi.tar.gz junk.

just watched <Recipes To Live By> ep04, icdrama picasaweb no problem.

1080p display will still benefit from 4k content, especially on pc monitor, more refine resolution.

getting hd sound from htpc not that hard…
do you use any graphic card? did you connect the audio link between the graphic card and mobo? did you set relevant hdmi audio as default output in your os? did you configure in os if you want to bitstream or lpcm? did you set relevant hdmi audio settings in your player/software?

lots of factors, even motherboard brand make difference. last time using amd based pc, damn lot configuration to make it got sound output. now using intel haswell, both hdmi or dual link dvi also can output sound no problem, display port never tried.

4k passthru and good 4k upscaling capability if possible.

ddatmos you need extra speakers to be placed on ceiling for best result, or some ddatmos front speaker which got additional drivers on top of the speakers optimized for pseudo ddatmos effect. more speakers means your avr need more power to drive it.

for avr, my opinion la…just get the cheapest model with most features and audio format compatibility, with at least 5.1 channels pre-out to connect the core channels to good quality power amp.

if you got no spacious room to play ddatmos, i think better stay with ddtruehd.

krypton got any fix on those sound passthru like spmc?

they got no knowledge on this.

all sellers brainwash them those box got a lot FREE tv programs which can replace astro. in fact they don't know the reliability of the software.

we are experienced users to know tv box consists of 2 parts: the hardware and the software.

for the hardware part, we either:
1. pay for the most expensive box that we could afford so that it could do hd video & audio decoding flawlessly.

2. the box that can run ahem ahem softwares (as cheap as possible, normally S905 chipset with 2gb/16gb spec at least, period.)

for the software part, just find, download and test run on your android phone and see if it stable or not.

for those new comers that really no idea where to start, my advice:

1. start looking suitable software, go google "facebook tv box", download all those recommended softwares and install to your android phone. (no android phone? then android tv box is not for u)

2. if the software works on your android phone (preferably android 4.4 and above), congrats. you can look for tv bix already.

3. no idea which box to get? grab those popular box in RM150-RM200 range in lazada. (under category tv - videos - media players)

deeply used to the confluence and re-touched skin, damn not like the new skin.

just done some simple local playback, the player seems an improvement.

have been playing with the krypton for few hours last night, this version great if one doesn't need audio passthrough on lollipop tv box. the video playback capability for sure is an improvement. i notice there is default add-on for joystick, not sure what is that for, but surely a gooding function i think

for local playback, i will still stick with SPMC for the moment.


btw, share my wallpaper with you guys

streaming burning hand ep19 now!

sky dragon is back!
