Hi,

Anyone can recommend a gamepad mapper app?

I m trying TinyCore Keymapper but doesnt transfer the touch command to screen.
I suspect due to android box do not have touch screen at first place.

You can try, but I wouldn't bank on it..
No idea and frankly don't care to know as it'll definitely be small. But is a good box for those who seek official Netflix support and willing to live with its disadvantages. Personally, I won't buy it.. Never liked any of the MiBoxes.
Try Game Controller KeyMapper.. Make sure you are rooted first.

Thanks for the input.

Prior to tinycore I have tried Game Controller Keymapper, it only demonstrate the buttons are being captured and i do not see any have touch capabilities.
To make it work with games, need to buy pro version and, it only support games that allow key commands. Then again i see rating is very bad, not sure will work in reality.

So far tinycore Keymapper worked for the gamepad buttons, only that it does not transfer the command to touch screen.
May I did something wrong here.

My Sony HT-300 soundbar is connected to my Samsung 55MU6100 TV through bluetooth. When watching TV or using native apps found in my TV such as Youtube or Netflix, there is no problem with the synchronization between the sound and the picture. However, when using my Minix Neo U9H, which is connected to my TV through HDMI, there is always a lag between the sound and the picture. The lag is about 0.5 second.

Is there any way to solve this problem?
*
Will this work if HT-300 connected to Minix with BT?

Not sure this is right place to poat.

For those meeting this conditions:
1) android box aith arm cpu
2) running kodi 18.x
3) now failed to run quasar

The fix below worked for me., u need to extract on to kodi folder to replace existing.

How about something along the lines of the ODROID-N2? I'm currently eyeing it for similar and home NAS purposes.

Seems like good stuff.
It would nice to have it running as Android media station + Nas.

Yesterday I followed the instructions here and (almost) fully converted my TV box into an Android TV.

The earlier installed Iflix is converted ( by itself ) into an Android TV compatible app. Previously the app must be navigated using airmouse, it is now TV friendly.

Because I don't have the encryption  key to open the mega files on the freaktab site,, I had some difficulty in downloading the right files for Google play store and services.

Launcher is not changed yet. Maybe I downloaded the wrong file.

https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/developmen...ce-on-r-box-pro

PlayStore now becomes TV remote friendly too.

Which box are you using?
Why not just flash it with Minixfreak OS which come in ATV vsrsiom?

What's the Widevine level for Minixfreak OS ? If by flashing a new ROM, I could get Widevine L1, I could be motivated to do it. wink.gif

I read the Widevine L1 is determined at factory. Any subsequent tampering will cause it to reduce to L3.

In addition, many of the tvboxes are using closed source wifi device drivers. So one might get funny side effects of ethernet or wifi not working and so on.
*
You are right here.
Only L3 from Minixfreak Rom.

As for wifi, my opinion is by luck, even from same factory also could have issue due different chipset been used.

So far Minixfreak Rom been workings well on my 2 different brand S912 boxes.

Guys Astro Go new version cannot work with Magisk now? I keep getting error message.

Did you updated Magisk also?

My experience with the never Magisk version dont work. I stayed at older version in order to make Astro Go running. If not mistaken I m running version 18.1, those 19.X version doesn't not work well with my boxes.

Like Voncane suggested, try reinstall - both magisk and astro go.
If not mistaken again here Astro Go once detected jailbreak, it often stay in that mode until you reinstall it.

I have Magisk 19.3 running on my tvbox.

People who say Magisk not working need to first provide a screenshot to prove that Magisk has been installed correctly.

[attachmentid=10317648]

If people can't get Magisk installed properly, don't despair, I also have a root checking removed version of AstroGo apk. No charge mod. wink.gif

Not for mine confirm magisk 19.x installed properly but astro go wont work until i reinstall back to 18.x.

Mine is android box.

Anybody know where to d/load H96pro plus firmware?. My box cannot bootup. Wanna try flash to save the box. Tq
*
Which version H96pro plus?
Wifi chipset and type RAM- 2gb or 3gb, ddr3 or lppdr?
Best you opened the box to snap some pictures on the RAM, wifi, EMMC chipset for future reference.

I recommend you to google - S912 freaktab
or
S912 XDA
or
S912 ATX

For S912, it should be easy to find Android 9.0 ATV. Which I think it is reasonablebly the best out there for S912 armlogic CPU.

Currently, is Nvidia Shield the only one supporting lossless audio codec (TrueHD, DTS-HD MA etc)?

I'm looking to stream via my Plex server to an AVR. Alternatively I'm considering Zidoo Z9X (RM799) but this is via SMB instead.
*
You found any other alternative player or device?
Nvidia Shield don't support Dolby Vision.

Today in the market, most support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos example Firestick 4K max, Xiaomi TV S Gen2, Apple TV; a big but here - don't support TrueHD Atmos or DTS-HD.


Ofcoz if you have have a brand new smart TV coming with eARC, mostly like it will work OOTB. My existing android TV don't have eARC, so no TrueHD Atmps...sad.

I ended with Z9X whenever I need to run the lossless audio codec (TrueHD/DTS:X).

My TV doesn't support lossless audio codec, when I playback them on TV, it will eARC out to "Stereo" 2 channel only. DD and DDP no issue.
*
Maybe it is TV firmware issue?
Why need to switch between TV and Z9X ? Can you just stay on Z9X which is suppose to be better device?
