My M8S Pro L recently auto restart twice the last 2 days and this happens which watching YouTube. I'm not sure it's a sign the adapter is failing or problems with the box. No new app installed though.

Anyone experienced such similar symptoms?

Since it only appears to occur while using YouTube, done the usual troubleshooting? Uninstall, reboot and reinstall the YouTube app... Try other versions is it still persists. Hardware-wise, try plugging the adapter into a different socket. Ideally one you can confirm doesn't have any stability issues.

evpad 3s my vs svicloud, which to choose?
both 2gb ram + 16gb rom.
Per survey, the SVIcloud has more channel & clearer pictures but loading time longer

AFAIK... Malaysian market-wise? You are probably better off with the more popular evpad service.

thanks for the advise. will go for the evpad. lots of discount at shopxx due to the new year

Welcome.. Kindly read the first page in entirety.. Then the last 20 or so pages first.. be glad to discuss and assist afterwards. Most likely, from reading, you'd know which to purchase as Netflix & compatible boxes has been discussed a ton in here.

I'm on a budget. My question is : is chrome cast sufficient for my need ? I only have netflix.

What is the highest resolution of this TV ?

Buy MI Box which has Netflix 4k then install rss player app (android TV version) to enjoy Asian drama content

720p I guess

42 inch plasma TV

Thanks for your suggestion. Is it the mi box S?

Your initial post mentioned wanting more than just Netflix.. Now it's just Netflix? If so, then yes a Chromecast is more than sufficient and reliable for that. Though I would advise getting a MiBox for easier use (dedicated remote, etc) and the added functions (usb playback, other apps.. Though it's ATV OS and that might not place nice with non-ATV OS specific apps..not without some extra work) that brings. For 1080p and below, MiBox is alright.. UHD all, then got issues.

Yep.. Mi Box S. Get the one with global ROM..

Hi, I am a noob here. Any sifu can help me with my newly installed TIME internet. Installed some China app on android box to watch China channels. Before moving to new house, using unifi was very smooth to watch. But in new house with TIME 100mbps, lag every 2 seconds. Buffering speed less than 90KB/s. I troubleshoot by trying installing android box with VPN trial version, buffering jump up very smooth and blazing fast. So confirm not TIME speed issue but is their throttling which I have no knowledge of.

So the problem is I don’t want to pay VPN. So any Sifu knows how to solve this? Tv mix mecool m8s pro L. TIME router ec230.

Thanks. I checked the price. Since not much diff I would get MiBox then.

Hi. If my tv can't support Dolby vision but use Nvidia shield to play Netflix DV, will the DV quality display on my non DV tv?

Then, for Dolby Atmos, with Nvidia shield I don't need avr with Dolby Atmos right?

There's Nvidia thread here-->https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4513032. You can check with these guys here.

Okay. Thank you

ISPs, services, governments, etc have been known to throttle or restrict access to certain services. I won't go into more detail since you are talking about illegal stuffs here..plus China app and China channels. If you've done the necessary such as.. Using a decent ethernet cable, changed default DNS settings to more favorable one and ensuring a healthy home network. Still have painful buffering that only goes away with the VPN? Unfortunately, you either have to find another, more compatible source or keep paying for the VPN. Welcome to the world of cord cutting.

That's the idea.. You are welcome.

Nope.. Similarly with HDR10.. The extra data will simply be discarded. You can only see the benefits on a DV/HDR10 equipped TV.

Same thing with Dolby Atmos...You need accompanying hardware (speaker amounts AND placement too) to be able to experience it. Be it a HT, Soundbar or AVR with dedicated speakers, etc,

But if you are asking if you must have capable hardware before being able to play a UHD + DV/HDR10 + Dolby Atmos file? As example...Nope, you can still play the file smoothly. Thing is, you won't get the enhanced picture and audio quality contained in the file. Usually, the experience will be downgraded. Example, say yours is just a UHD TV and DD audio equipment. Then you'll only get UHD + core Dolby audio. The rest is discarded as can't be harnessed.
