Beelink GT1 or Beelink GT1 Ultimate?  cool2.gif

I seem to remember there's a comparison video on Youtube. Conclusion: Ultimate is not much better.

I just realised an issue... My "settings" app crashes every time I open it. Besides hard reset the box, what else can I do? This is for my Minix U1..

Did you solve the problem? I think I have the same issue. I'm running Minix U1 FW on a Beelink box. It was fine for more than a year, but now I can't open the Settings app by any means - it just displays a blank grey screen for a second and then reverts back to the Minix home screen.

I booted into TWRP and wiped the cache partition but it didn't make any difference. Should I wipe Dalvik as well?

I'd rather not do a factory reset and lose all my data and settings.

Add on: I also followed voncrane's post that he also updated all Google apps. Simply went into Play Store and check out any pending for update apps, there were few Google apps pending and I updated them. Guess what? It fixed the issue now. sweat.gif

Oh, congratulations! All my Google apps are up to date anyway, so not much I can do there. I will hold on and hope that a future update restores functionality.

I suggest you clear the cache and dalvik again.. Then reboot, check Play Store is running on the latest version and for installed app updates. When done, reboot again and try accessing the Settings app again. Hopefully works .

I followed those steps exactly, but Settings still won't open. I guess I'll have to re-flash the FW. But I'll wait until I need to actually change the settings because I haven't touched them in months. Thanks for your help.

Isn't that only for Unifi customers - you need to login, right? I'm using Time BB.

If anyone is using a paid IPTV service that reliably provides SkySports F1 and BTSports in HD, I'd like to know. smile.gif I've used various free apk's but they often buffer at the worst moment.

SPDIF is the common way to refer to an optical socket.

Thanks for the heads up. Had to re-register as they aren't using old forum backup.  thumbup.gif

Also for those who still can't access the setting app on the Minix Neo U1? Aparently, the contacts app received and updated that broke things. Try this, open Play Store and uninstall the updates done to the Contacts app. Make sure to disable autoupdates so it doesn't update itself again. You can perform manual updates of other apps as when needed. Report if this fix works for you.

I had the problem and I wasn't aware of this fix, but a couple of days ago I applied all available updates from the Play Store and now I can access the settings again. I'm using Minix U1 FW on a Beelink. I can't remember offhand if the contacts app was one of those that got updated.

Anyone using Acestream Engine on Android found a solution to the proxy server problem (get booted out of Kodi after a few minutes of playback, told can pay for proxy server or use Ace player which doesn't work so well)?

Just found this: TVBOXBENCHS2019 - summary of most if not all Android TV box specs.

Not sure if it's the latest version.

Just when I come to buy my next box would be good to have up-to-date specs to compare.

@emy_77 Nice review - worthy of posting here: https://forum.lowyat.net/ReviewsandGuides where more people will see it.

Hi, does anyone knows if there's an Android box that has Optical digital out instead of just the AV out connector. Prefer to connect AV Amplifiers through digital out from the Android box

Some of the Magicsee boxes have SPDIF.
