I ordered Km8 pro also from Lazada now waiting. Looking for better kodi experience. Although now a bit 'menyesal' as from otherforum s912 is not really recommended.

I did browse through the first page and read them. I filtered out the items in lazada, and still left out quite a lot of choices.

I will list down my requirements

Budget: Max Rm3++, below RM300 if the box is already decent enough

Is this one okay?

http://www.lazada.com.my/km8-pro-4k-uhd-ko...ml?ff=1&boost=2

and

http://www.lazada.com.my/mecool-bb2-amlogi...ml?ff=1&boost=2

and

http://www.lazada.com.my/leegoal-bb2-andro...ml?ff=1&boost=2

?

p/s, i read that beelink has 'dark video' issue. Does it happen to all beelink models?

Why? Many using S912 without problems... only those xxxxElecs people not supporting....and those xxxxElecs are geared to run only Kodi and usually nothing else...

This KM8 pro quite interesting also...

Mostly quoted that s912 is using test firmware and many errors. I also noted that mostly thecomments come from xxxElecs enthusiasist. so gave me some hope...

At Lazada still processing sad.gif , anyway when you uninstall the pre load kodi, will it also uninstall all the addons? Also from the review there is another app call kodi updater, will it also be uninstalled?

Thank you, ...where is my km8 pro... Lazada

I will only install Exodus, Quarsar and SALTS as addon, tested on phone it works... confident to do with others.

HyppTV also. I am keeping Astro for sports.

Any others that is good and recommended? I and family do not watch indonesian/korean/mandarin/hokkien drama.

Have few more days to learn on how to do.. and practise

if sports is impt, keep axtro, please.

too many cases of axtro users complaining non-stop.

after terminating, they look for free same supersports only to get frustrated.

for kodi, u can try genesis reborn and phoenix - some good stuff there.

do read kodi thread for kodi matters.
other addons... google for popcorn time, mobdro, terrarium.

the links to some of these addons have been posted before here, u can search for them too.

Thank you, just need keyword to search

I just going through Kodi for Dummies installation from TV addons, I find that they recommend for paid debrid service. My questions:
1) What is that?
2) In Malaysia is it worth it? I on unifi pro 30

the specs and price look fine to me.

when uninstalling kodi, it can take a minute or 2 depending on how big yr build is.

do keep us informed if u eventually find the box ok for most purposes.

Manage to uninstall kodi and setup kodi from playstore with exodus and salts add on.

Also put my 64g SD card as internal and 128g USB storing my previous file. Connect to my Nas.

Now good, watching criminal minds 5 on exodus. I only have 5 yr old full HD TV and no external audio setup. The system getting more responsive now

Well...monitor that 64GB SD as internal storage... could slow down system also...

Thank you will do that. I think the slowdown is only on the initial startup as now the system seems to be responsive.

A slow down is the least of biggie's worries... What he should be concerned about is a complete card failure and hope critical system files aren't on it.. Cuz then, system failure.. Most commonly available SD Cards aren't cut out for constant fast read and write speeds as required by the firmware... Only good for occasional read and writes. A UHS Speed Class 3 (UHS-II) should handle such better..
*
Seriously that is something I do worry, I have 3, 64gb Kingston card which I believe genuine, one inside my s7e as external, another on tab 8 and another on km8 pro. Finger crossed that none failed. Another pny 128g on my laptop.

I have some experience with quite a number of non-genuine cards that failed or do not display their advertised storage value, so after that lesson I always take care in buying these cards.

Ah, hopefully your homework pays off.
One of the reasons is for those who would like to have more "internal" storage for more apps with bigger data. Take some games like Asphalt Airborne for instance, easily over 1GB each. Pile on 2 or more heavy kodi installs, etc and that free 8gb or so fills up pretty fast. smile.gif
*
That's what I'm thinking. Even kodi consume big amount, then showbox HD will consume some more.

Anyway it's rm200 box, so not that big of disaster... As of now the same box I can get for rm170. I figure that when disaster strike I am ready to move on.

this aotg is certainly a "mystery".

i hv also been reading and checking what makes it work and not work.

so far...

.. minix - u1 and x8h said to work.
.. hypptv - some say work, some say dun work.
.. mibox int'l - some say work, some say dun; some suspect due to leanback keyboard, some say that doesn't help.
.. himedia older boxes - unrooted box still give "yr box is rooted"; q10pro can install app, but the video will simply not load.
.. my tv's androidtv - it works; have not read anything if other androidtv or smart tv works.

can't deduce much from above...

ok km8 pro, hypptv cannot be installed not compatible

I got the same box with android 6.0. Very good so far, exclusive for Kodi use with exodus add-on. But then my TV is only full HD and I do not have any sound set-up, so cannot comment on those.

well this is my history of these tv boxes:

G-box Midnight 2 : 1st tv box, play offline movies. lots of updates and bugs
Old laptop - Windows 8: slow ...slow... very difficult to select menus
Old laptop- upgraded to windows 10 ...slower - menus better though
Minix z64 on windows 10 : now i start streaming movies!, but it is slow, jerky and frequently runs into DNS problems which never fully resolved.
KM8 Pro : cheap, quick, responsive...unfortunately Kodi ahemm... addons dying and have to do more then necessary maintenance.

All the which with those boxes I also have my astro running as I do not seem to find good service for EPL Football.

Next box, will look at box with legal streaming service
