so for now what is the most stable android box to be used with astro go?
looks like i will only use my mibox s for netflix with vpn  sweat.gif
*
below last list for old app version v8.2.6 as confirmed by other users and should work with new:
https://apkpure.com/astro-go-watch-tv-shows...com.astro.astro

the original list has some ATV devices but i have removed them as they either dun work or unclear if it works properly.

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Jul 3 2019, 09:31 AM)
updated!
from all that have been posted, below a quick compilation of boxes that can do astrogo.
some can do in original state, others need to unroot/hide root.
some can do with official version, others need modified version.
there must be more, feel free to add!

Himedia Q10pro, Q5pro
Minxi U1, U9H
Tanix Tx3 mini, Tx5 max
Mecool BB2
Zidoo H6 Pro
Beelink GT1 Mini
Tanix TX6
Mecool M8s Pro W (normal android version)
Tanix TX3 Max (same spec with TX3 mini, only difference is Bluetooth adapter is on TX3 Max)
Mecool M8s Pro L (normal android version)
X96
SUNVELL T9 RK3328
Mecool KII Pro, Tanix TX28, T95Z Plus
*
the cheapest one that can do the app is tanix tx3mini android7, very popular at RM105:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4722095/+400

meanwhile, yr mibox s should still work with the old version v8.2.6:

I have unrooted my X96 2+16gb unit and installed latest aotg posted in this thread, but it's lagging when playing channels with 2~4k hd...while playing on demand videos it's fine, but with lower quality. Tried aotg 8 but detected jailbreak device. x96 firmware is 7.1.2.

Sifu here have any ideas? should I flash tx3 mini firmware into it?
*
if u r confident of the flashing process, worth a try.

yr box has same chipset and android version as tx3 mini.

tx3mini also can't work with v8.2.6 official but works with v8.2.6 modified (u can search for it).

it works fine with the new current version.

How do you check the version of aotg? Can't seem to find it.

BTW I've factory reset my TX3 MINI running Android v8.1. Installed aotg,  play tv and Netflix from aptoide. Confirm all working. So far so good.

Click settings at top right.

Click my device.

Dev ID is some wierd longist number, nothing like what has been mentioned...
App Ver is 2.192.5 /AC19.2.5 also nothing close to what versions that were mentioned here.
*
of course it is the app version la...

do u not see this?

v2.192.5/AC/9.2.5/2313a43

or u see something else?

this is the current version, no newer one.

current astro go version is v2.192.5/AC/9.2.5/2313a43 dated 8 Aug 2019.

if u cannot get direct from box playstore to update, here it is:
https://apkpure.com/astro-go-watch-tv-shows...com.astro.astro

this one has a bug fixed - video and audio are now sync-ed correctly for live HD channels.

and i seem to see an improved video... improved colors and clarity... perhaps bit rate been raised...

Very hard to use remote with both of them. Had to use a mouse or cursor apk which is troublesome.
*
becos the app is built for mobile devices, touch screen where u touch, swipe, etc.

if yr remote has a mouse pointer function, still ok.

just set yr favorites..., homescreen, go to all channels, select favorites tab...

Tanix TX6 can't use Astro Go, It says rooted. Magisk manager apk freezes at loading screen. Anyone can help?
*
if u fail with all the advices and suggestions, don't waste any more of yr time struggling with it.

just get a tx3mini android7 for rm105, close root, be done with it.

u can also do it with many other boxes but will cost more, some a lot more.

NjoiNow will be decommissioned on 30th September 2019.. same like AstroGo on the LG TV.. potentially 8.2.6 might be decommission as well.. tough luck for mibox/google widevine L1 box users.. u might need to find 2ndary box cheap2 one with Google L3 only.. i recommend TX6 at least 4gb ram.. Tx3 mini well, the 2gb ram and s905w really are pain in the a$$..
*
I just saw a notice flashed in v8.2.6 on my ATV tv.

It says the app for LG smart tv will cease on 30 sep.

Looks like it... v8.2.6 will die on oct 1.

tanix tx92 uses the popular AML s912 chipset... i m surprised it gets hot.

watching astro go new version via google chrome windows 10 enterprise.
yep, this is one thing great about the new app - it is chrome friendly unlike old version.
u can now work on PC in the office, watch some movie or sports anytime u like. biggrin.gif
and i think use on PC windows does not count towards the 4 devices.

Hi Sir,

Himedia q5 pro confirm can run astro go?
the box no root? or need to magisk hide?
*
i am quite sure Q5pro firmware is same as Q10pro, currently 2.1.4.
they are unrooted, no need magisk or superSU app to do anything.
since 1.5 years ago, they can run astrogo, old or new versions.
in fact, u can just go to playstore and install it.
if there is any update, u just go to playstore to update or wait for it to auto update.
this is rare as other boxes need manual download apk to sideload, to update.

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Aug 16 2019, 01:48 PM)

talking of which there is a new astrogo apk dated 5 sep 2019:
v2.193.2/AC19.3.2/0163930
get it here if u need:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/astro-malaysi...163930-release/
this new release supposedly allows decoder users to record shows on cloud storage, then access with astro go anywhere.

i already updated on my 3 boxes, all OK.
but bad news for ATV - it still doesn't work - judders on live HD channels like before.
can use v8.2.6 for now but come Oct 1, likely it will be killed off as implied on a message flashed when u launch v8.2.6.

i don't know this box.

but if it is AndroidTV (ATV) OS, new astro go will likely have judders just like Mibox.

best a user of this box asnwer u.

or u can search and ask in the mecool thread, if there is one.

I have already chose option no 1. Cant wait to get my unit maybe next week or week after. I would like to enjoy both Netflix and new AOTG without the hassle of going to switch hardware here and there.

So to my fellow streamer friends, make a choice. You can't have best of both world at this moment.

Hopefully my findings can help u guys make the right choice.

Adios Amigos.

Is your tv just hd? Not planning to get new 4k hdr/dolby vision tv? biggrin.gif

Becos netflix 4k will need a 4k tv to display.

And almost all 4k tvs come with netflix 4k.

Astrogo is the easy part... we know quite a lot of boxes can do that, probably more in the future.

received my new box mecool m8s max.....surprisingly although it is L3 box and not Android TV version, the new astro go apps Live channel got judder and not watchable, on demand one ok....i try install the old astro go 8.2.6 everything works smoothly....
haiz....this astro go really hard to predict....i thought and old s912 and android 7 box shd be working perfectly for the astro go apps but end up  like this

Sorry to hear this.

Better let mecool users comment.

I can only say himedia q5pro, q10pro and tanix tx3mini, tx5max are fine for astrogo new version.

The rest, better let actual users confirm, not hearsay.

About v8.2.6, keep yr fingers crossed... come oct 1, things may change.

Maybe spent too much energy lighting up the led display. Also more memory and more storage require more energy to drive too.

QUOTE(voncrane @ Sep 19 2019, 10:59 AM)
I quite disagree particularly with the last part.. No such issue on the Beelink GT-King and it outspecs it. I don't have enough data to completely blame that Allwinner SoC.  hmm.gif And if it's not that, most likely it's just poorer hw design, ventilation and quality. The likes of the HiMedia Q10 Pro also has LED displays and the box doesn't heat up unnecessarily.
*
from the many reviews i have read n watched so far.... allwinner and rockchip boxes are the ones that get most "overheating" comments.

i really don't know as i don't have any of those.

but i can say same brand - Tanix - tx3mini, tx5max using AML are cool, stay cool whereas tx6 allwinner overheating has been reported repeatedly.

himedia and and some others use metal boxes, not plastic - heat dissipates better, never had serious overheating issues.

Have used it over weekends almost whole day without issues so far. My Minix U9H also works with Astro Go, but the video has black bars at sides and bottom. When Astro Go starts in the Minix, get almost full screen, when click on video and starts playing, the black bars appear. Tried all settings, no change even with latest app sideloaded.

By the way, I have an Astro subscription at my parents' house which I pay for and using android tv box to get same channels at my house without having to get another subscription.

Cheers!
*
do u get them for all channels or just some?

the black bars are there for SD shows; HD channels should be full.

this has been there for a long time, incl old versions.


* i do not if there is any diff for astro go between HD (beyond) and non-HD subscriptions.
