currently using minix x7 mini with wifi antenna

wanted to upgrade because it doesn't support gaming mode for my air mouse Mele F10 deluxe. been looking for solution everywhere but no luck. I even try with my VR's bluetooth controller but doesn't work also, it works just fine with my android phone.

Guys, for my first android tv box (zero experience) , do you think I should buy a RM500~RM600 box or a cheaper option like RM200~RM400 box?
Mainly will use for streaming english/chinese/hongkong drama or some movie. For movie playback from so far I am quite satisfied with my Samsung 4k TV (ks7000 series) . The downside is the Samsung custom OS have quite limited apps available. I would prefer it to be a smooth device without much lag.
Currently I am in between this 2 box as suggested by fellow forumers here.

http://www.lazada.com.my/himedia-q10pro-4t...ml?ff=1&boost=1

Actually tempted to get those paid ahem iptv service but their box seems low spec and I am worry of sluggish performance.

thanks in advance fellow sifus smile.gif

you can spend few thousand on tv, why don't spend few hundred for the box

hi guys,

i'm deciding between 2 boxes, Alfawise H96Pro+ or the MeCool M8S Pro.

both having S912, and 3gb RAM.
H96Pro+ has 16gb more ROM than M8S.
performance area rather similar.

any advice? which manufacturer is better? how about firmware update releases?
well review from FreakTab users does say H96Pro+ running quite hot, until many decided to mod the casing with fans and vents to allow more air flow.
not many reviews on the M8S though.

GT1 Ulti was one of the choices until i saw the benchmark scores as well as A1 SD test scores. the other 2 boxes perform much better than it. does Beelink offer frequent updates?

i do prefer bigger ROM but if it comes with problems, then...nahhhh
*
spec look identical but wifi/rom speed difference go for alfawise (new firmware for android 7)

got 3rd party rom

to the users of mini neo u1, do u use the xbmc kodi or the one at playstore?

i'm currently using the default xbmc kodi that comes with the box. should i stick with it or download the latest one from playstore? any differences between the 2?
*
XBMC minix had been tested to work with all minix android box.. but you have others option to install kodi 17/SPMC/FTMC also work with U1

Beelink GT1 Ultimate. If this is subpar box, can recommend a better one? Thanks
As for the sound, if I want sound to come out from HDMI (to TV), i have tried all the settings for digital sound - Auto, PCM, HDMI, SPDIF. Where else must set?
Im sure its just user problem  sad.gif
*
if you have spmc

SPMC Settings

Enable 'expert' in the settings menu. Then, make the following changes:

Audio output device = Android, RAW Passthrough
Number of channels = 7.1 [your receiver should be able to handle this input regardless of your actual speaker configuration]
Output configuration = Best Match
Stereo upmix = off
Maintain original volume on downmix = on
Boost centre channel when downmixing = 0 dB
Resample quality = High
Keep audio devices alive = 10 Minutes [this will prevent your AVR from going to sleep]
Enable audio DSP processing = off
Enable passthrough = on
Passthrough output device = Android, RAW Passthrough
Check your AVR receiver's user manual to confirm that it supports each of the following audio codecs and enable them accordingly:

Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver = on
Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC) capable receiver = on
DTS capable receiver = on
TrueHD capable receiver = on
DTS-HD capable receiver = on
