Nice, but with USD 139++ for a U9-H, I'd like to wait for the Remix IO+ release. based on the RK3399 chip and Mali 864, we shall see an antutu benchmark score above 70000. currently my X8-H is about 33000. U9-H about 41000. not much speed difference

Most of the android box play movie files. but sometime is due to the hard rive. I have bad experience with Seagate portable hard drive. Sometime it couldn't power up. I have no problem with WD (western D) hard drive.

as for the subtitle. just make sure you place into the same folder and name the subtitle file as same as the movie file name.

i have several WD.

the ones made in thailand are good, last easily >5 years.

the ones made in malaysia not so good, die after 3-4 years.

the environmental "green" ones are crap - had one that died in 11 months, warranty replaced oned died after another 6 months.

Easy Android TV experience, local warranty... Yes. US/Aliexpress selling USD 70...not much cheaper...

But for that price you can also get 3/32GB boxes with more features...

I fixed the problem.

1. Disable the app "play store", it's 1mb in size. (This app replaces the playstore with factory version)
2. Uninstall updates for "google play store" app.
3. Download correct play store apk.
4. Turn off internet, disable google's verify apps(maybe optional).
5.Install playstore apk. (First time I try with internet on it ask to verify app halfway through install, maybe if click no when it ask might work).
6. Playstore become normal now.

I dunno why google thinks my box is google tv. It came with the google tv version of youtube, maybe manufacturer/seller made some changes. I scan with malwarebytes, came back clean. Should be ok.

Glad to hear it's fixed.. Many "funny" firmwares on equally "funny" boxes out there. A 1MB Play Store is a sure red flag..
