So quiet lately? Check out my latest box - Minix Neo U9-H and A3 remote.  smile.gif

Hi, do you able to use latest iflix app on this? mine can't even reach the login page (after the notice i have reach 5 devices allowed on TM IP (free 1 year) and need to login to my paid account).

QUOTE(dwRK @ Mar 16 2017, 11:05 PM)
Awesome!

Please test iFlix, AOTH, HyppTV, Netflix, etc. Thanks.

Mine cant even login to iflix app. Netflix modified apk can get HD (my test only up to 3000Kbps 720p), normal apk from playstore only SD 1750Kbps 480p. Netflix for android tv failed to play after 2-3 seconds.

"mine" is what device/model?

Hi, sorry i should have more clear. Yes it's the latest minix u9-h. Been using minix since x8-h+ and then u1 and the experience is very good box for anything, never turn it off for months sometime and dont have any issue. The current u9 is full of bugs but the dev/manufacturer mention about current u9 firmware maturity is at the level of 11th u1 firmware (which is really good).

QUOTE(dwRK @ Mar 18 2017, 10:58 AM)
I guess the U9-H gua...

Yes, it is the latest u9-h. smile.gif

What sort of bugs? Sounds like despite the wait, they still pushed out without a stable firmware? Well, good news is they'll squash most of em in coming firmwares.
*
Full of bugs may be a little over reacted, there is no rush if the dev did not post that statement, it usually takes 3-4 month from product launch with 2-3 or more firmware update to get the stable firmware.
It completely no issue and stable for my usage on kodi (streaming fom nas, some addon and live tv using vu+ pvr addon). But cant use iflix app is the big issue, isnt iflix is like our netflix? at least for other users in my home. It is like streaming box that cant use netflix.
QUOTE(dwRK @ Mar 19 2017, 08:15 AM)
Perhaps you can send them the iFlix apk and let them fix the firmware for it...tell them it's working well in U1 etc
*
Already report it before come here to find some info or work around, but no apk link as new account can not post any link.

it may not be about the box but your iflix subscription.

apparently some new rules (for some category of users?), according to someone.

check the last few posts of this thread:

Hi, thanks for your link. I actually have paid yearly account that has paid twice already (renew on merdeka promo last year for only RM48), it created since iflix launch long before they introduce TM free 1 year. It just sometime the app log the paid account out and auto load the free one without login, so i keep using the free one. The U9 box don't even show the login page after i clicked "sign into another account" and keep loading. Both account currently working just fine on U1.

out of curiosity, i just did a experiment...

i have the max 5 multiple devices running iflix... android 4.4.2, 5.1, 6.0.1, 7.0, ipad... unifi free one, no login/pw ever required.

1 of them was installed just a week ago, another 1 month ago - both auto detect, works good.
i removed a couple of them.

installed iflix on new device (phone android 6.0.1), got same message as yours, "max 5, please boot one out...", keeps loading, nothing happens.

i then went back to the 2 devices where i had earlier deregistered, removed. no question asked, works good again.
i doubt it is the device or device's firmware causing this.

i remember reading somewhere it takes a day or a week for the iflix system to reset the unused slots, then only allow new device.

i have now 4 devices in use, try again in a few days to see if it will work on the phone.
*
Thank you for your very detailed test, really appreciate it. I have also tried anything that i can think off.

- Clear the attached devices from free account, but did not work on U9. Tried on phone that never attached before and working just fine.
- My paid account did not have any attached device, so i try to login the normal way. Spinning forever after clicked "login to another account" before cleared the devices list.
- I have also tried using Thailand, Philippine and non TM Malaysia IP address (to bypass the free auto login) and this is working just fine one other devices that i tried (Stumbled upon Fairy Tail anime Tagalog dub during testing and confirmed iflix also has different catalogue for different country). After open the app, it will go to the page with "star your free trial" and "login to your account" page. No joy either.
- Also tried 5 latest iflix apk from apkmirror with the same result.
- Every single different test above is done after clear the iflix app data, uninstall, reboot and reinstall.

i just tested something...

from pc browser, find iflix, click, it came on auto, played, no problem at all.

from "menu/devices", it does not even show it is playing on my pc!
tried the phone again - no good, still same message, nothing loads.

also, i notice 2 boxes i have iflix installed works under the same device account!
i now start to think this iflix "no of devices in use" is faulty, can't track properly.

hence, some devices work, some don't...?
*
Yes, that may be possible to caused this issue. One more to the firware side, some early minix firware (U1) left something that will indicate the box is rooted in the past (even is wasn't), that time iflix don't gave any error (not sure the date they added the term about rooted phone cant be use with iflix app), but fixed after 1-2 firmware update.
The root phone behavour on my 1+3 was it can show the login page and can process the login, after that it will shown half loaded home page and will keep reload non stop.

The same for me, PC login will never show up on device list, i guess it only for installed app (android/ios). Also this is my first time experiencing failed to even login on all the android phone and boxes that i have tested. For some, it will only fail to start the stream with some error message or black screen with no error.
QUOTE(dwRK @ Mar 20 2017, 10:49 AM)
I wouldn't call it faulty...we dunno how detail they wanna track...

Anyway, great job looking into this. thumbup.gif

Really good to get a response and new input for the issue even the question was from new account no previous post, really thanks to him. thumbup.gif

Thank you. Great and full of info for anyone that interest to the topics related, just found one link did not work (U9 review), it straight to the forum homepage.
Is there any users here with other S912 box here? That will be great comparison to troubleshoot this particular issue.

ok guys..here is my simple short review for recently bought new KM8 pro tv box

powering on...quite fast....
tested media:
-4k (uhd mp4 video clip from my 4k drone recording) works great no stutter or lag...it just play immediately
-mp3 with 320kbps also works good
kodi came preinstalled but all of the installed link not working...
so i've uninstall the kodi...and reinstall latest version from playstore....all working great...

game not yet tested...(not really interested on gaming purpose)

air mouse/keyboard not yet bought... so kiv on that....
only complain is i felt the device was a bit warm...

and remote recieving angle wasnt that great on the device...had to point a bit more towards the device......
thats all....

on audio is quite decent...i didnt expect high end sound...since i hook my logitech 5.1 pc speaker to the tv and live with that....so sound transferred thru hdmi...so it should be fine....

while watching from kodi and/or playing mp3 all speakers sending appropriate sound true to 5.1 speaker output...
*edit due to typo on mp3 bitrate  sweat.gif
*
Good review, would you mind testing out the iflix app on this box? Thanks in advance.

If the issue is on the iflix app side (can not login, can't even reach login page), most likely it will have something to do with compatibility with the new S912 chip.

Thanks thumbup.gif seem like no issue with the chip. Iflix where really picky from the start with different chip, glads this is not the case.
QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 20 2017, 05:06 PM)
once again, i urge one of you to start a minix thread so that u9h, u1, x8h and other model users can share specific experience.

will be very useful for old and new minix users, potential new users.

there are things specific to a certain brand, not applicable to other brands, and vice versa.

there are now mibox, himedia, beelink and hyppbox-huawei dedicated threads.

only minix is missing.

I have sees it (the existing minix thread) but came here because of more active topic, and here (LYN) because their official forum will likely see it (the iflix app issue) as not priority for the app that can only be used in some third world country. laugh.gif Good speed you have there. smile.gif

Not necessarily.. Take the Neo U1 as an example.. There's an active thread on the official forums dedicated to improving app compatibility... Fairly certain a dedicated one for the Neo U9-H can be arranged. Only, might want to wait awhile, seeing as it's still a new device and more important kinks are being worked on.
Seem like that is the only option as iflix did not support android box, so no use to to report to them. Temporary replace the U9 with new mibox international, working great with all androidtv and googlecast function but noticed when playing normal x264 or x265 2-3GB video, the core are all in use with 20-100% even kodi used hardware decoder, maybe it just too many background process. The minix U1 only show 1 core with less than 20% load for the same situation.

Yeah, probably no use reporting to iFlix..

Hmm.. Lately, I haven't bothered to check how much load the system reports during playback. Just move from content to content and it simply chugs smoothly along. I am under the impression that the latest MiBox international should easily play such files, especially being <3GB low bitrate files. Could be as suggested, being MIUI.. Has too many background processes, compared to how Minix ships their devices..as close to stock as possible.

Actually the performance is good and did not notice any lag, just tested the new box. And agreed, minix deliver a very good stable android os. smile.gif
QUOTE(AVFAN @ Mar 22 2017, 10:11 AM)
about iflix, my phone still will not load iflix although 2 slots are empty.

this new mibox, can it run astro-on-the-go, hypptv everywhere?
*
Yeah, same with me even after clear the device list.

Just found out Hypptv everywhere outdoor channel HD is free of charge (among some other interesting channels). Thanks for asking this, i have never tried before even though i have the free subscription with some premium channel included.

As for the question, on-the-go installed but can't even open the app (crash), and hypptv (tablet from apkpure) working great but you will need a mouse or air mouse as the included remote are not working with hypptv app. Is the any way i can link my free hypptv subscription to everwhere app, or it need completely different subscription?

I believe it requires a subscription. Hyyptv package subscribers get 2 free Everywhere accounts.. Additional costs apply for others or more accounts.

atog doesn't work, not surprised... many dun work, only a minority of boxes do.

hypp e'where - 2 or 3 devices allowed other than yr hyppbox.
just install the app from playstore on any device, use id/pw to log in (not yr wifi ones, need to call n ask if u do not hv).
this one also works on some, dun work on others.
that's why i asked u.

Thanks all, will try it. thumbup.gif

You are right about this, Thank you thumbup.gif I just can't believe some app that already 2+ year will have something like login issue.
Just today my unifi keep disconnect and subscribe to DiGi unlimites 1 day and suprised it open iflix app that already installed (without even clear any data or reinstall).

So iflix are working with U9-H.

Wow that Beelink GT1 ultimate only half of the latest Minix price, ave to get one and see if the extra money for minix really give something. Before this, we only see the same hardware with half of the price, but this has extra 1GB RAM and 16GB storage.

Based off my past experiences with Minix devices.. Firmware updates, good after sales support, online community, easy to root and unroot, official Kodi backers... They ship solid hardware + software (most importantly..close to stock Android experience) combo.. They also stand by their devices..

Just to name a few..  smile.gif
True, my U9 already recieved latest 004 update that fixed the dark color issue. And from youtube review, all Beelink 912 (maybe all 912) box has the color issue and not sure if it ever get the firmware update that fix it.
QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Mar 30 2017, 12:57 PM)
It's about USD63 without the wireless keyboard add on + Shopback 8% cash back. Quite a fair deal.
Initially wanted to go for Nvidia Shield 2017 but 3x the price of Beelink. As I have the tendency to upgrade boxes when it becomes outdated, so I opted to save the money now for one or two future "free" box upgrade.
Of course NS 2017 is much more superior than Beelink.
Thanks for the info. thumbup.gif i also think Nvidia Shield is the best powerful option if one likes the androidtv, but never try due to its limitations. After trying mibox, it actually just need to sideload app and it will be working just like normal android box.
