QUOTE(mikeeeee @ Sep 15 2016, 09:42 AM) Thanks ! Overall quite happy with the box. Set up Kodi and also network shares to my shared drive, all is good. Need to find more apps that are android TV and remote friendly. Looks like a mouse enhances the user experience a lot for those non remote friendly apps. Current real problem is the random green screen flicker that happens once a while. Another problem is unable to run Astro on the go, sigh. Anyone, manage to run aotg successfully? topeng perakIs the Flickring green screen very prominent? A bit of remorse from my part when I hear that because I just ordered one through lazada. Also is the dts or dd pass through very important? |

QUOTE(mikeeeee @ Sep 15 2016, 02:42 PM) The flickering is not prominent at all, just that u know its there. Doesn't really bother me DTS and DD passthru all working perfectly. Important or not depends on your need la. Some people watch HD movies but OK with tiny stereo speakers. For me, since my amp able to process DTS and DD and I like watching movie with 5.1 so pass thru is important to me since most players doesn't really decode DTS Ok. Glad to hear that. I'm just concerned that it will be annoying when watching movies. QUOTE(topeng perak @ Sep 15 2016, 02:50 PM) Another one is darker display which will impact movie with a lot dark scene How does it compare with hypp TV box in terms of darkness? I have kodi install on hypp TV box. Just wanted to know comparison between both unit if you have one. |

QUOTE(mikeeeee @ Sep 22 2016, 07:35 PM) Guys, found a permanent work around for the dark dark scene videos. Just increase the Kodi brightness setting to your liking. Its defaulted at 50%, I crank it up to 60% and its much better now. You can reach the brightness setting during video playing on screen menu, look for the film icon. Click on that and you should see brightness and contrast below post processing option. If you don't see the option then go to system --> settings --> video --> acceleration and disable mediacodec(surface). Then go back to the in video on screen menu and the brightness option should be there I have just received my beelink gt1 box. Yes it does have brightness problem. Another method to increase brightness is by changing brightness on TV settings. Another problem with my box is not all movies are playable. I've tried uninstall and reinstall back kodi. The problem persist with movies. However it does not occurs with TV series. Not sure why. |

Also, i've noticed the wifi for this device is quite weak. Using speed test i've got only 10Mbps, compared with my ipad and nexus 6p at the same location recorded around 28-29Mbps. However using wifi sweetspot with beelink GT1 got average reading around 35Mbps.

QUOTE(blurjoey @ Sep 23 2016, 09:40 AM) That's why I'm eyeing it only... Hahaha... Have you tried the 5GHz wifi? That should be faster as on 2.4GHz wifi, I only can half the speed of 5GHz which can get full speed on speed test... My wifi router is located upstairs second floor. Couldnt be bothered to try the 5ghz band cause the signal usually for this band is quite weak to pass through wall. Most of the time downstairs prefer 2.4ghz signal, also a lot of devices nowadays has auto switching which will change it to most stable signal bands and usually it will connect to 2.4ghz band. Probably that is causing problem to my device as i couldnt play any movies but no problem with tv series. Next i will probably try to test it again upstairs where my router is located. |

QUOTE(topeng perak @ Sep 23 2016, 10:18 AM) Do you mean unable to stream movie or play movie file? Yes unplayable with movies. No problem with tv series. Probably because of weak wifi signal as movie is larger in size and tv episode is much smaller. Not sure. Need to test more. |

Ota update failed for me. Once I've finished downloading. Press update button then, it restarts and stuck showing error of android robot. After a few minutes, the box restart back with old firmware GT1_103MO

QUOTE(Khalid21 @ Oct 2 2016, 07:10 PM) try re install again dont open any apps.. I did that thrice. Same thing happened. Error. QUOTE(gilabola @ Oct 2 2016, 11:04 PM) What is the latest firmware version? I tried the hard reset that Khalid21 recommend and the OTA worked after that. Version went from GT1_102MO to GT1_103MO Did this yesterday. If you see GT1_103MO as the version, the OTA succeeded? GT1_104MO is latest version |

Updated from 104 to 106 yesterday. The improvements I've noticed in the new firmware are no more green screen, also brightness problems seems have been solved. At first when starting kodi a bit darker but improved by playing any video brightness increased to normal level. Amlogic codec acceleration is enabled by default in kodi. Kodi still crashes with the codec enabled but with lesser frequency.
