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.

Hello sifus, my EVPAD 3 just died (no power, confirm not the cable or power supply's problem, tested with neighbour's EVPAD). Wish to know

- is it repairable?
- any newer version of EVPAD that can be recommended?
- any other good alternatives to EVPAD, that's easy for old people like the EVPAD?

So I think most here have seen the latest LTT Video about Android tv boxes with Malware

I myself use a proper Android tv box so I'm not too concerned but I am concerned about those sketchy boxes on e-commerce sites that some of my friends and relatives use

On that note, searching for "Android TV Box" no longer gives any results on Shopee, did they ban that keyword?

Just read the news about the father and son got caught selling tv box and got fined. Am wondering is that because they are selling those tv box with preinstalled apps?

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.

Are you sure about this?

Just notice this.

Thanks...me is noob.

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?

If I don't use external speakers, I don't turn on Z9X nor AVR. Stick to TV only.

I only turn on Zidoo if I'm using external speakers.

Dear Kodi Sifu's - My 1st gen fireTV has finally died. I use an audio system that has optical input, which is why I did not upgrade the firetv earlier. What is a good player to replace with that has optical out? Thanks!

Is there any site I can confirm this fact?

My Himedia Q5 Pro running Kodi getting lagging. It slow to launch and sometime hang with black box.

Not sure is the player old or the apps (up to date) or the android (ver?).

Is there any new Media player 4K with better pic quality and UI to recommend?

This Q5 pro pic quality is over saturated. Hard to navigate, setup and not friendly UI. (kodi)

I only use media player to watch movies/dramas from the server.

can anyone recommend Android TV Stick? Is Mi TV Stick 4k the better ones?

only looking to stream Netflix and Disney+ Hotstar.

tiktok shop seller smart ip

currently im using mi tv stick 1080p , so far so good
