Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,754 posts Joined: May 2008	Which USB fan can last long ? the tvbox get overheat and crash/freeze.If you got Allwinner H616 it'll get overheat issue over 85'c. Those USB fan cost above rm15 even just for 8cm fan. Can someone find something similar to it? https://shopee.com.my/(BEST)-USB-1200RPM-8C...7405.1186139107 but cheaper price below rm15 ?

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,754 posts Joined: May 2008	QUOTE(voncrane @ Nov 8 2020, 12:00 AM) Unfortunately some boxes are just like that.. Poor ventilation or hardware placements or could just be the firmware.. hard to recommend decent coolers if you already feel RM15 is too much. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Option 1: Get a decent box... Hunt down free services yourself and install as necessary. Option 2: Get a decent box...Pay for some service.. Use till you find a better service... Switch at will. Option 3: Get a poor or somewhat decent box from ehem "IPTV providers"...Pay them to handle the sourcing on their end. Most boxes HD or UHD+HDR10 nicely.. Issue is if UnifiTV will play nice on the device. Take my testings on the Beelink GS-King X...Everything else is banging, but recently tested the latest UnifiTV app on it and it falls short. So sometimes, we can't always get what all we want in a single box. Same thing happens with the Asterruk Go app.. Very picky app lately.. Blocks and no worky all over the place. Can't be helped. No...Just no... Unless your idea of a box is switch on and deal with LongTV IPTV app ONLY. Then by all means.. go ahead. Just don't expect much of anything else. Right & Wrong... Some of their hardware are certified.. NOT the illegal stuffs service. Let's not mix it up.. But yeah, they have been around for years. Given the nature of their core business, it is not a guarantee that they'll be there for a couple more years or maybe they will.. The CPU and pcb is place on the top and not bottom. Is rm15 a standard price for USB fan ? but sometimes , some USB fan DIY cost below rm10 only something similar https://shopee.com.my/Rechargeable-Mini-Fan...6931.2473733847 What is the different between both ? https://shopee.com.my/USB-Cooling-Fan-5V-mi...6262.2598154748 ?

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,754 posts Joined: May 2008	QUOTE(voncrane @ Nov 9 2020, 11:54 PM) I'm unsure what the standard prices are for USB fans cuz thus far, I've had no need for one to cool down any of my devices.. As a joke, I was going to go extreme and recommend the Black Shark FunCooler Pro. Apparently it gets so cold, it forms ice. That's Antarctica stuff right there. Anyways I kid. The second link you posted might just do the trick.. Looks capable. Those blackshark cooler thing similar with mac accessories price. Actually , the case as a buyer bought a tvbox at rm200 then get an extra 10% coins cashback rm180 suddenly after buying , inform seller tvbox hot until freeze then seller tell put a fan and refuse to exchange.The results like you are buying at almost rm200 + fan and seller keep quiet about the tvbox. Google search did said hot but not until freeze , no one here facing this issue also.Lemon unit but not totally spoil ? So , does anyone know any apps to monitor CPU usage per apps spike history ?

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,754 posts Joined: May 2008	I lost track on current android box. Which android box is currently up to date with minimum requirement ? Since minimum required for android phone is 3GB ram 32GB and 8 cores. Main purpose now is to watch on Browser directly rather than going through apps which sometimes fail.Those what we call as free apps doesn't buffer well enough. I would rather watch directly from the website that I had bookmark them. Problem which I am facing is , browser sometimes get slow down even after cleaning the cache.I suspect those stream site buffer too much into the browser.I tried firefox but still the same. Now testing with Firefox Nightly and access about config setting for buffer. voncrane Do you know any script blocking which can prevent website to detect using android ? or just fool the stream site detect as PC browser ? sometimes access a website automatically told and display asking us to download their apps.I want to prevent that.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,754 posts Joined: May 2008	Does anyone know any apps can remote control android phone to an android box with LAN ? both android box and phone not rooted. It more convenient to type/swipe using own phone compare to remote control/mouse to press every alphabet during searching. I tried Teamviewer quick support , lag and slow , disconnect in the middle because the apps use internet.Other apps not even working at all. Any apps can remote control android box which connect via LAN ? Voncrane

Depends heavily on a fast & stable internet connection on both ends. Personally & for convenience sake, I would recommend getting a proper media remote with dedicated buttons and air mouse function. but of course, that costs extra. Forummers have already recommended CetusPlay and Android TV Remote Control. The latter is by Google and for some reason, they stopped updating it back in April 2017. So expect some unsquashed bug with some incompatible devices. Try both out and see which works best for you. For Kodi, I recommend just using Kore, Official Remote for Kodi. Works superbly. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Sure why not.. Just depends on what hardware you want to run CoreELEC off and or how to connect the drives. Hardware like the GS-King X just makes it easier, as long as they are regular 3.5″ HDD and less than 16TB each, should be fine. You might need to format them at the start though. I had help with the Ugreen's USB 3.0 to Dual Bay Hard Drive Dock to clone, backup, & restore data after formatting, before installing in the box itself. Want something with a bit more media oomph? Checkout the Zidoo UHD3000 After almost a decade of tech, the HP N40L does look bulky especially since it has 4 bays and maxes out at 8TB. Larger capacity drives are much cheaper today in comparison. Time to upgrade liao!.. Sorry , I mean I wanted to actually work as a mirror and remote connection through the android box. Like how a remote desktop works (RealVNC ) desktop to android but I am finding android to remote an android box.Teamviewer host or quick support does not support LAN whichby going through the internet slow/lag/disconnect.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,754 posts Joined: May 2008	QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Sep 21 2022, 10:25 PM) All Android TV OS comes with the ability to Cast (aka Google Cast / Chromecast). You don't really need to mirror your device, as casting means the device itself is streaming direct from the source (supported by a number of popular apps like Youtube, Netflix, Hotstar). Just look for this logo If you DO want to mirror your phone for whatever reason, yes, you can still do it. Altho why would you since it would mean you can't use your phone at that time All Android TV devices supports bluetooth. What kind of device are you looking to pair it with? Mecool KM2 has two USB ports, with one of the being USB 3.0. This might be what you want I don't think so.No , not all android device have cast function.Especially android box. Try to cast your android box to another smart tv.I am sure it'll not work. The cast i mean , mirror your android device to your smart tv , example cast the same screen and share to other smart TV. Bluetooth to transfer photo or pair with more than 2 device.Can connect to bluetooth headphone. The reason i need is to mirror out same video on 2 TV without cable.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,754 posts Joined: May 2008	QUOTE(PRSXFENG @ Sep 21 2022, 10:32 PM) Basically, just buy an Android tv box that has proper Google Android tv certification There are actually a few casting protocols. First, you got good old Miracast, actually gone as of Android 9, but lots of phone makers (Samsung, Xiaomi and others) still add it back on their own, usually refered to as just "cast" Ideally you should not use this if possible Then, you got Chromecast, Google's protocol, most android devices will support this, it's also a better experience than Miracast in my experience There's also AirPlay which is by apple for apple devices only. To receive on Android tv box, you'll probably need to use a 3rd party app like Air screen I forgot to mention , the budget for Google Android tv certification is over budget which cost over rm350-400 adding with chromecast will cost overrm500. I just need a android device which can support mirror screen with sound and cast to another Smart TV to support both TV running same video without needed a cable.There is no wireless HDMI , even got will cost over rm300.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 3,754 posts Joined: May 2008	QUOTE(AVFAN @ Sep 22 2022, 09:35 AM) usb powering 2.5" HDD is common... all my boxes can do that, no problem. casting, mirroring... no much idea. Can help me to test your android box can support casing , mirroring ? I miss out another question Can android box support webcam usb plugin ? so can video call with each other. QUOTE(PRSXFENG @ Sep 22 2022, 10:24 AM) Your use case is certainly an odd one, so you want 1 android tv box to display to 1 tv while also casting to another smart tv? Most android tv boxes are intended to be a target for casting, not as a source Also, chromecast is built into the box so you dont have to buy extra... the mecool km2 is ~rm250, not ~350 to 400 honestly, you got a few options 1. 2 boxes, doing their own thing 2. hdmi splitter from the 1 box to 2 tvs Thanks , but I can't even find a single review on mecool km2 mention on screen casing The Hdmi splitter require a very long cable which need to cut and nail the wall.I prefer wireless but wireless hdmi is too expensive. Actually , I just need to mirror android box to the smart TV. Do you have android box or smart TV ? can help me to test whether an android box can support mirror screen to tv ? I know most android phone can do it like samsung smart view but not sure on android box.
