what is the different between Astro Go and Astro Go Beta?

My main interest is to check if they fix the non-TV friendly issue. Root or non-root is a smaller problem for me.

I think it is not a great idea. PC consumes lots of power, and usually got fan, could be noisy too. Cable management and pc is big, it looks messy. Also long hours of usage wears your PC battery.

Tv boxes are cheap. Small size. Consume less power.

Maybe some one can calculate if the electricity consumption difference. Maybe saving on electricity bill can fun the cost of TV box.

Couldn't agree more on power consumption. Actually i am on trying stage. I got a low power consump. Laptop with intel U series processor, so i give it a try. But in terms of connectivity and stability, i found no issues running an emulator and watch tvbox contents.

And also very messy. Where are you putting the PC ? If you put PC next to TV, short cable, but when you want to change apk and click on PC, how ? If you put PC next to you, you will have long cable running from TV to PC.

Today I tried the beta AstroGo. It works, but still quite disappointed. The user interface is somewhat like HBO Go Malaysia. It is able to scroll using IR remote ( which is one step better than previous interface ), but still not completely friendly to TV/IR remote. Have keep toggle between mouse mode and key mode.

It is still quite far from being TV friendly.

Isn't Astro Go also works that way?

Similar but not exactly.

This new interface is able to scroll the screen using IR in keyboard mode. ( Down, down, down will scroll the screen. ).

Whereas the old one cannot scroll screen at all without using air mouse.

I think Astro is not interested to make the app TV friendly.

Actually I heard the differences where more immersive feel when I compare with same title in 4K UHD blu-ray in Dolby Atmos and also Remux copy in Dolby TrueHD even in current pseudo-surround, thus I want Dolby Atmos, the metadata is playing on it. SoundBar is enough for me. Some SoundBar now is good and came with actual rear speaker. I know cannot compare with AVR but it ain't bad smile.gif No place for me to put AVR and it is not something I prefer.

My current SoundBar is 5.1.2 and probably I will upgrade to 7.1.2 coming month to true surround with actual rear speaker instead of current pseudo-surround.

Ya, my SoundBar support everything from Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Atmos, but DTS only support the lossy DTS Digital.

Good to know Nvidia Shield does it all. I hope it is not only does in Kodi as I don't like Kodi. Haha! smile.gif

I am reading this :-

http://www.multipelife.com/best-media-play...-shield-tv.html

It did not seems to me Shield is using some special players ? Or they have gotten the "usual" video players which we all already know but customized for shield ?

Hi. Yup. My soundbar is support High Resolution Audio.

I am using LG SK9Y - https://www.lg.com/my/home-audio-systems/lg-SK9Y

The best player is like no others choice already. First cannot do like Plex catalog. 2nd Plex no good when enable Subtitle not in STR format. 3 is lousy. 4 probably the best but I dislike Kodi. Haha!

Now I can access the website. Lol

I just checked online the price for LG LK9Y is RM2639. I need to be quite "out-of-mind" to be willing to take that amount of money for a sound system. tongue.gif blush.gif

According to this post, they are saying this is done through Plex and Kodi :-

You can consider converting subtitle to SRT for your local files. smile.gif

I have a weird problem with this app: difficulty in login.

When first time login, the login page all the hyperlink and login button cannot be clicked. Only username/password can be filled but cannot be clicked to submit. Suspect due to webview javascript problem.

This problem only exists on my android box, never happen to the phone.

The login page under the password field also has some garbage text "unknown.form.TEXT.forgot_password", which by right it is supposed to be "Forget your password".

Sometimes it recovers, then everything behaves normally. The issue is I don't know when it will recover.

I used it before, I thought it was quite ok. Maybe the beta server and bandwidth are overloaded now. Are you using on phone or TV or TV box ?

I'd say it's a device issue.. Looks okay on this end.. Will try it out on the Neo U1 tomorrow and see how it fares that. Didn't bother as the official stable version still works great. Connected via 5G Wifi one room away and no video lags.

Looks like that's the case.

But I am still trying to find out which is the web page (URL) that the app is visiting. If I know which is the URL, at least I could independently verify using a browser.

Anybody knows what's the URL for the beta app is visiting from the app ?

Problem is 1 & 2... That which works flawlessly for AOTG tends not to do the same for Netflix, at least not FHD with DD audio. I guess you could go with the Mecool M8S Pro or gamble with the Beelink GT-King and MiBox. I'm unsure how HBO Go would fair on most boxes as it's unpopular here.

I read that a few of Mecool series many of them are widevine L1 boxes.

Anyone using ?
