Something for old android box users to consider, plan...

I see a quite a lot of new videos now cominng out in hevc or h265 format.

Hevc is an efficient compression format, uses half that of h264.

There has been continuous upgrades and new versions for hevc.

Personally, i have noticed that over the last year or so, a couple of my older devices that could play or stream hevc in the past can no longer do that with the latest hevc videos... either no video or no audio.

It is probably due newer n newer versions coming out.

So, do upgrade yr boxes as and when u find necessary!

Sifu, Q16 still able to play those?

That was really why i posted that...

Older ones can, latest ones cannot.

Time for u to get q10pro!

Is kodi preinstalled in your gt1 ultimate? Mine seems not

AFAIK Hulu comes pre-installed.

Can instal the latest Kodi from Play store. So, your box got dark screen issue?

I spend whole afternoon setting it up and I haven't even added any add-on yet lol. I dunno what I'm doing.

I install YouTube but dunno why my remote can't move to the keyboard entry position or select any of the recommended videos

I installed Kodi 17 but it can't play any 5.1 sound 🤔

My box seems to hang a few times just going thru the menus. Had to on/off. And also gives an error that reads "unfortunately play store had to close" or something liddat

YT normal apk needs mouse...want remote friendly use YT for TV...

Kodi 17...go Kodi thread & pls give more info...how you wired up, what 5.1 source, how you configure audio...

Sometimes new boxes best do factory reset...play with it a few more days, if problem persist, reset...

Normally new boxes I install and uninstall kaw kaw test for any issues ... and expect to reset before finally setting up the way I want it...

Disclaimer: I'm not entirely familiar with the Roku system. But I reckon it should have some type of "app store"? Allowing you to search for and install the Hulu app, if it isn't pre-installed in the first place.. Which I also think it is..

For the LG smart TV and DNS.. You should check the TV's network settings for the option to set the DNS it should use in commucating. Setting it to that of USA (and if working..aka, not blocked by Hulu), should allow you to not only download the Hulu app onto the TV itself, but to also access USA content and watch without the need of an external device... Works on my Samsung TV... Same concept applies to Netflix.

Yeah, as suggested by dwRK.. The mobile version of the YouTube app does require a mouse to simulate the touching of the screen. There's however, a more TV Box friendly YouTube app (please Google). I can't recall the exact version.. But it's either the one made for the Android TV OS or its based off it. With this version, you can navigate the menus and videos using the d-pad of your remote.

Thanks guys, I just need to learn up more
Btw is there any app I can install to make my smartphone into an air mouse? 😅

AA
Assuming that is not a brand new box, suggest clearing the memory and try again. Box needs some free MB memory to run properly.

BB
On Himedia remote, there is this REMOTE button. That will toggle the mouse function on and off. Try that and see.

Good luck.

Roku
roku streaming stick sir
I know hulu, hbo etc apps will not display at our lg smart tv
As long as u set the different dns that i bought from smartproxydns

But already set still didnt
Display

Already change at dns server but still have problem

netflix has vowed to block all non usa users from getting into usa sites; can only access local sites.
some users have reported still possible, some say no more - whatever dns or vpn u use.
in all likelihood, work-in-progress.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3828808/+700

hulu, since it is all us based, the same thing may be happening.
may be worth yr while to ask in the netflix thread as some may be using both netflix and hulu, same or similar dns/vpn.
or start a new thread, see if any hulu user will comment.

Try CetusPlay...not air mouse though...

Host app run on box, client app run on phone. Get from Play Store

First make sure you have setup smartproxydns properly... verify using phone or pc by running Hulu, or play some TV shows from fox, cnbc, etc...or run some other usually geoblocked channel

Once confirm running and not geoblocked...then try the Roku channel store again...

Does anybody able to play videos on Tonton's live channels? I installed it via Google Play Store but nothing was played...

I wanna watch 8TV actually, any recommended free app? I just wanna watch once only because my face will be shown in a TV programme. Else, I will stick to AOTG via my iPad Mini.

Played on my Q16 few weeks back...
