Anyone using the Chromecast with Google TV. How is the performance?

Most boxes can.. Question is the source... Find the source, then seek boxes that can play it.

Tried installing their app on 2 phones.. App refuses to launch so I discontinued the test..

Nice... Mice race ahead again.

This be the thing.. Good soup costs more.. There's the Google Chromecast lineup and the recently released Mecool KM2. No much info or real-world performance data on the KM2 yet.. But we'll know soon enough.

Can you confirm that this doesn't happen with other input sources? Maybe try another HDMI cable too... Hopefully, it's not a TV issue.

What to do.. I'm still Ikan bilis..

He reposted with the url...

Looks like another half-baked app again

Thanks!

I mean link to buy huhu.

its not a tv issue. Because netflix and youtube from tv (LG UN73) works fine. Its only this app. Did some googling and found out that others have soe issues. -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/tukangapaha...380982696375676

Thanks! The earlier KM boxes looked pretty darn up to date with specs but there was the issue of SD only Netflix playback while a couple
of them finally have a fix for FHD playback. The reason I wanted to run Netflix off the box is to have VPN installed but I could still look at
installing it at the router level too. The KM2 looks decent on paper though they seem to have skimped a bit on general specs but at least
it's Netflix certified. Will hold off the purchase until reviews and user feedback is available ...

Hmmm... Truly weird.. I suggest you try a factory reset, if you haven't already done so.. If still no good? Reflash the stock ROM perhaps?

Yeah I agree... MeCool did skimp on the KM2 specs a bit.. Fairly certain that they'll release a 3/4GB RAM +32GB/64GB storage option in the near future. Unsure why they didn't do that right away from the get go.. .. Chuck in a more powerful SoC, additional cooling and that would have easily placed them ahead of the competition d. Having to not worry about Netflix on a Mecool device is a big deal IMO... Alternatively as Scissorshand reported, you can get the other Mecool boxes like the KM9 Pro or KM1 variants, and use the special Netflix app. Can get 1080p with 5.1 passthru with that confirmed.. I can attest to the KM1 Deluxe being a solid streamer.

Regarding the VPN bit, havign it on the router level IMO is the better bet. Even better if you use a dedicated router or a router with a firmware that allows you to separate the connections. Route specific devices thru the VPN connection, and others through the non-VPN option. This set it and forget it method is very good for keeping your home network protected. Although, don't forget to regularly check the connection as sometimes, the VPN service goes down.


Finally...

You sir are a life saver - that diagram is very helpful since I've also been trying to figure out how to go about this. I have seen a few online
sellers already posting the KM2 up for sale locally so I might just go with it. I just moved into a new place so a few more bits to go before
we get the home entertainment sorted.

But yeah, it would have been nice for Mecool to just release the KM2 with better specs instead of the current 2GB + 8GB config; and then
release upgraded versions later which will annoy the early adopters

Cheers,
V

Any recommendation to rejuvenate a 2 year old A95X MAX with S905X2 SOC and 4GB ram?

It has a few problems:
1. Laggy when navigating around the menu
2. Blank screen when I turn on the tvbox, need to restart a few times
3. Stuck in boot logo, especially if I didn't exit from Kodi or iptv apps before turning off the tvbox
4. Sometimes will get disconnected from WiFi

Probably dealing with excess junk... Especially if you haven't spring cleaned in awhile. But first, what ROM version are you running and is it the latest? Searched around and this seems to be the last stock firmware available for the device. Stock Android Oreo 8.1. Sometimes, all that is needed is a factory reset to clear stuff. However, I would recommend just USB flashing this over what you have now. Should help. Alternatively, you can go down the custom ROM route. Perhaps try this atvXperience v3 custom ROM. It's based on Android TV OS..Download links here....

This is the full review and live demo of the Cobra4TV IPTV service. It boasts about 11,000 Live IPTV channels and over 30,000 VOD (Movies & TV Shows) from from all over the world in various languages. Find out how it performs on iOS, Android, Windows, & Samsung SmartHub OS. It is also compatible with LG's WebOS, Mac OS X, and many more. Basically, further cementing my love for Sammy & LG Smart TVs. No external TV Box or Media Player required... Nice!



Addtional Info & Support
Official Website

Apps Installation URLs
Windows IPTV Player 3.0
XCIPTV Player (Google Play Store)
IPTV Smarters Player
GSE SMART IPTV (Apple App Store)

I welcome any questions or concerns regarding the service. However, best to comment over at the dedicated thread la.. So not off-topic here...

Once you go ATV version all others like meh....👎👎👎

Loaded the atvxperience, but no time to explore yet. Home screen is now very clean, only uses Kodi and SyberTV app. Need to test if Unifi Play TV works

Just saw a review saying mecool km2 is officially 4k Netflix certified.

Yup it is... Go ahead buy

Any junk file cleaner apps recommended for ATV? I have downloaded CCleaner from Aptoide but the junk file scanning is very slow and stuck at 70%, force restart a few times also stuck at 40%/ 70%

Hey...subjective la... But yes....

There are 2 versions of the Unifi PlayTV app. The regular Android OS version & the ATV OS type.. Try the ATV OS version first. Hopefully, the latest version just works well. Take your time and explore it... Poke here there to see how stable it is and if it can do all you want doing.. If yes? bravo, no need to spend another dime getting a new box.. Enjoy!

As long as it's Android, I swear by the app SD Maid by D4rken. There's the free version, which if it works well? I recommend you spring for the pro version. I've been using this app since forever and is one of the first few apps I install onto any Android device I own. You can get it from the Google Play Store here or from sites like apkmirror.

SD Maid allows you to:
• Browse your whole device and manipulate files through a full-fledged file explorer.
• Remove superfluous files from your system.
• Manage installed user and system apps.
• Detect files formerly belonging to uninstalled apps.
• Search for files by name, content, or date.
• Obtain a detailed overview of your device's storage.
• Optimize databases.
• Do actual app cleaning and remove expendable files, which supersedes what others may call 'cache cleaning'.
• Detect duplicate pictures, music, or documents, independent of name or location.
• Run tools automatically on a schedule or via widgets.
