This is my box..

Hope this can help..i have try to change in the display settings..but the picture is still not sharp..hope to get solution in here..

We can't see what you are seeing...how not sharp is it? We have no reference to your sharp vs not sharp. You sure is the box?...can be bad source, bad box, bad cable, bad tv...

Other than select 720p or 1080p...there is not much more you can do. You can try MX, VLC, etc., see if that helps...and adjust TV settings etc.

Comparing my Q16 and Vensmile, Vensmile is not as sharp...but it's also not soft and fuzzy type of unsharp...

My video playback on kodi is very choppy whereas kodi on my htc phone is quite smooth.

Could it be that my M9S Pro's processing is too slow? Antutu only gave it 29000 score ohmy.gif
*
The S905 is fast enough...you may need to redo your Kodi install or reset the box...could also be wifi/ethernet problem...or bad ram/rom...

My HDMI self adaptation setting doesn't have level 1 & 2, only ON or OFF. Could it be affecting the frame rate?

No. Most people don't notice the 3:2 pull-down, don't know what it is, don't know what to look for. It's not stuttering like you are describing...

I assume you have tried playing local videos without problems? Then it's not a refresh rate problem. If it's only Kodi, hard reset the box and try again...update the firmware if required, to official or 3rd party...

...and turn off Kodi hardware accelation...this maybe your main problem...and try SPMC, FTMC, etc...

Which M9S pro did you get? 2/16Gb, 1/8GB? It's reputation is having fake memory... fruitie's 3/32Gb unit is working fine though

So the Beelink firmware support is sucks ? That is what I m afraid.

So what else box is good with the same price range ?

Or get a cheap wan low spec? No more support just throw away.
*
I understand there is OEM support...just that the latest firmware is problematic...

The Beelink is great for people trying out different 3rd party firmwares...

I just got an Docooler M9S pro 2/16GB from TOMTOP on a sale and it was dirt cheap.
So far I have tried the normal movie and tv apps and it's working ok. Haven't have the time to try out KODI yet.
Will try it out tonight.

However, one thing that worries me is the weight of the Docooler box. It feels feather light compared to my other budget box, the MXQ Pro 1/8GB.
The MXQ Pro have a heft to it. I also have a Beelink Mini which is also much heavier than the Docooler.
Is this normal? Any M9S pro owners can comment on this?
I know this is a budget box and to be fair, it's working fine for me. I'm just curious.

People use different apk to check... gets different results... lol... no idea what is happening... Personally I suspect is firmware problem but you never know unless open up and check the chip...

As long as working fine... thumbup.gif

Guys, i dont own an android TV box yet. I just tried KODI on my pc last few days, if all ok then i will buy an android box. Got 1 question here, as i cant install apk on my pc, whats the difference between KODI addons with those free live TV such as mangoTV? As i cant find most TVB and china IPTV channels in KODI addons, can watch on apk such as mangoTV? TQVM.

Different methods...same objective.

TVB...kodi thread post 2. China IPTV addon none AFAIK.

May need vpn.

My Himedia I use SPMC... Jarvis trips randomly...

My Vensmile I use Krypton... rock solid no issue...

So far the "next generation" of boxes using cheap SoC ie RK3399, has been terrible...a lot of codec n compatibility problems...

I have Showbox on my box right now but I havent updated it to the latest version. I did  it before and and it became shit and full of ads..so I rolled it back and use the earlier version I have. But now, it seems that all the source for the movies are through torrents instead of servers..i want to stream the movies, not download it.

You can also just watch now...no need to download iirc...

Quote from latest CNXSoft review...


"Kodi 17.3 from the Google Play Store will not work well on anything below Android 7.1 for Rockchip device, as my experience with Vorke Z3 has shown. So I would not purchase as a Kodi box, at least if you plan on using the latest version. I previously reviewed two Rockchip RK3229 with MXQ 4K and Zidoo X1 II. I abandoned the review for the former since the firmware was unusable, but Zidoo X1 II worked fairly well for H.265 and H.264 videos and audio pass-through.

Talking about cheap devices, sometimes I sell samples locally after reviews, and I’ve got several reports with cheap models (around $30) that they work fine… for about 2 or 3 months, and then just die, and people come back for a better and more expensive model."

Ok, my modem and router is in 1st floor, during renovation i pulled a cat5e to my ground floor living room for internet purposes. Now i using it for my cctv recorder at my living room. Can i use internet splitter for a single cat5e for cctv recorder + tv box at my ground floor living room? Will it work? Because my unifi hypptv doesnt work. The installer told me tv box use different channel that i will lose access to recorder if want to use tv box..
*
The installer is right...but it's not really called "channel"... the HyppTV box uses Lan port 4 configured to "vlan 600" ... internet uses vlan 500 for Lan port 1-3

Very easy...Keep the modem upstairs...move the router downstairs and you can have it for cctv, HyppTV, other android box, etc. The modem and router doesn't have to be side by side.

If you want to keep HyppTV upstairs and new android box downstairs...then keep the router upstairs and see if the android box can be connected using wifi... if cannot, you will need another router downstairs... in networking, the router performs the "splitting"...

Yaya what i mean is vlan.. if i use 4th port set to 500vlan can i use it for cctv and tv box? With 1 cable then split to 2 cat5e? My upstair have 2pc so i need modem upstairs. What you suggest? Modem at 1st floor. 2pcs upstairs and doenstairs cctv + tv box..
*
Ouch...big problem...

Easiest will be to use powerline adapter connect to Lan 4 and HyppTV box, otherwise you need to bring the cable modem & router downstairs and a new router upstairs...

But for tvbox i will buy himedia Q10 so the problem is after i buy this can i use with same cable with cctv? I wont use hypptv..

What i Mean is, modem router upstairs (Lan 1 n Lan 2 for 2 upstair pc, Lan 4 for downstairs and split it to cctv + himedia box)
*
Yes.

Networking is not like say power wiring...cannot just split 1 wire to 2 wire/connection.

To "split" you need a network switch...but I recommend a cheap wifi router...so upstairs Unifi router connect to new downstairs router and then you can connect cctv & Q10pro to it...

I think Q10pro should be able to connect wirelessly to upstairs router 1 floor up...try it first...
