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.

plugin.video.quasar-0.9.79.android_arm.zip
https://github.com/logon84/plugin.video.qua...es/tag/v0.9.789

Nice.. Will try this out tomorrow.. I had to roll back to Krypton to keep using Quasar.. Mind if I share this in the dedicated Kodi thread later?

More info required.. Got url link to manufacturer website and detailed product description and specs? If you can't easily find such? I suggest you ignore the recommendation.

Perhaps bad cable.. Why no use HDMI? Less to no hassle.. RCA cable (carries AV signals) connects to AV port(s).. SPDIF/TOSLINK carries digital audio only and connects to its compatible port.

Oh I see..Try new cables and if that still doesn't work and you are convinced it's not the TV's port issue. Test the box at a pal's place via HDMI.. If that works, then get a HDMI-RCA converter to overcome the issue.

Yes, you can watch Netflix (up to UHD+HDR) using the TV's Netflix app (install from TV's app store), watch UnifiTV using TM's STB and also watch content from another Android powered device..

As per your initial question.. "If this is a good and reliable brand". IMO, No it is not. It seems to me like a less popular EVPAD option and I don't even like the evpads biggrin.gif.. Basically, they are an ehem iptv provider that bundles their app with a box that's branded as theirs. Found the specs page and have to say, hardware wise (and if primarily for iptv purposes), it's actually not bad. Which leave firmware performance.. Which to me is unknown. Hence my recommendations to ignore. Unless you've tested the hardware yourself and it's okay, or its so good and can only be accessed via their branded box..?.. Else, I suggest you stick with the generally accepted opinion here. Ask the seller, say you bought another box yourself, can the svicloud app and service be used on it?

Yup.. Today's TVs have come a long way. Just be sure to get one with decent picture quality and true "smarts"..Cuz not all smarts are automatically good.

Dear sifus, newbie here. After seeing an android box at recent airbnb home stay, decided to get one. After researching, settled on minix neo u9h. Bought on lzd, received yesterday. I requested the seller to install the popular apps since I haven't research much on apps. He installed quite a few apps but having set everything up my problem now is being overwhelmed. Hoping for some tips.

1. This morning wanted to try watch live epl. Click and try so many apps / channels only found Chelsea match, couldn't find mu match. (I don't have astro go) how do you guys find which channel is showing which match?

2. I find it hard to search for movies and TV show. Each of the app have tons of movies but I can't seems to navigate to search. Pressing the up down left right buttons on my air3 mouse only seems move from one movie to next, can't go up to the search button. Tried with air mouse cursor also cannot.

3. Finally, is there a way to quicklink to a favorite tv show or channel. Seems like each time starting from Home, need to press all app, go to app , scroll till find tv show.. Now the best I can do is favorite app in the Home screen.

Sorry for the very basic questions....just not used to the interface. Thank you in advanced for any tips or advice.

That's your problem right there.. Never bother to research and expect heaven on earth.. What can I say.. Begin your research then.. Afterwhich, you nuke the box and only install apps you know are working and how to use.. Start with page one of this thread.. Return when you are wiser.. FYI, we don't discuss about ehem iptv sources here.. As for hot-linking app's specific functions and or features. Best case would be a well setup Kodi (or an alternative favorite app) and set that to autorun upon startup.. Favorites on tap.

Thanks for the advice. I am certainly not expecting spoonfeeding. My issue is navigating the interface, eg unable to get to "ok" or "search". Just can't seems to figure it out. Its not like an android phone where there is touch screen. The air mouse does help, ie works like a mouse, but strangely doesn't work on the search button.
