agreed its a poor firmware, will be searching for something more reliable.

tried all the fixed posted earlier, still no luck.
its firmware related issue. I'm able to run AOTG using android 8 but not 9.
even flashed TX6 firmware and able to run but the downside is unable to shut down the box properly and wifi not working
the issue with android 8 is unable to bypass digital audio in MX player and unable to play 4K youtube videos (VP9 codec not supported).
android 9 resolves all this but unable to use AOTG.
The only possible workaround is by using VMOS and run modded AOTG, seems to be working fine, but will upgrade to something more reliable in the future.

Hmm, under Android 8... Does Kodi experience the same HD audio passthrough issue? Also, tried the app Smart YouTube TV to get 4K?

VMOS is a decent workaround, but as you’ve found out.. it’s not the easiest to use especially if you’ve got other less tech-oriented folks in the house. Yep, upgrading to a more friendly box would be ideal.

yes Kodi also facing the issue
tried Smart Youtube TV 4K videos was shuttering

maybe will think about mibox or TX6

Read up first.

Mibox uses ATV os, cannot do astrogo.

TX6.... make sure u get one that is unrooted by seller, tested good.
If rooted, astrogo wont work.

anyone tested new boxes working with astro go to be update to the list ?

The reason why I suggested changing from HDMI to AV cable, and changing the TV to other TV is because some months back there were issues of back screen when starting up AstroGo. A black screen but can still see air mouse. Others mentioned it is related to some HDMI issues for some old LCD TVs.

If you don't have this issue, you should at least get the AstroGO Startup Screen before the Root Detected message appears.

As for the solution to the problem, I don't recall there is any cheap and easy to do method as suggested by a forumer azwandy.

I believe it is not the box problem if you see a black screen on the TV, it is more of the TV HDMI not compatible (HCDP or HDCP if I am not mistaken).

it's been a while since the last relevant list.
and astrogo has had several versions since, latest being:
2.201.2/AC20.1.2/1b92ce1
https://apkpure.com/astro-go/com.astro.astro

it is doubtful there is anyone who has all boxes that work.

all my 4 boxes work with current apk; they have always worked, old or new apks.

.. himedia Q10pro
.. tanix tx3 max
.. tanix tx5 max
.. tanix tx3 s905x3

PLEASE ADD TO ABOVE YOUR BOXES THAT WORK WITH ASTROGO.

* no version official or modified works on my sharp AndroidTV tv.
* heard from a seller the ugoos am6plus does not work with astrogo.
* minix us22-xj is in the market - wud like to know if astrog works on it... anyone?

yup.. hdcp issue.. some old tv not compatible with hdcp implemented in astrogo app..

also another new common issue.. black screen with double white horizontal lines.. a lot of people using yes in the 4g modem have this issue.. solution is to connect to different isp other than yes, then sign in at aotg page, then can continue using yes for astrogo..

Beelink GT1 mini A - the app not properly working. Can login but when select channel, got green after that black srceen with sound. so revert to previous one.

I hv X96 Max rooted..
1st install Astro Go .apk
2nd Astro Go prompt rooted device
3rd I rename SU file at system/bin n xbin
4th now can login n select movie but no image just sound..

Any idea how to bring the image?
Thanks in advance..

Im using mibox s. After update new firmware, only can stream video without visual. Reinstall March version still same. Jan version works wonder

U mean android box firmware or astro app?
Your Android version 8 or 9?

if u hv been following this thread, the answers are there; the same issues been around for a couple of years.

basically, this astrogo app is pretty good in checking what it wants to check and disqualifies what it wants to.

boxes on AndroidTV (ATV) os, those without complete root closure, those with poor firmware will have high risk of the apk not working.

if it works with older version, there is risk of it not working with new or future versions.

astro spends a lot of money and resources to block boxes; only want mobile devices to work.

for now, some boxes are 100% ok, some 50% ok, some 100% not ok.... nobody knows if that will change with future versions.

at this time, it is great to have it working becos all channels are open during MCO.

anyone tested A95X F3 air works with astro go?

astrogo as an app is NEVER built to work with a remote, mouse or airmouse completely.

if has always been built to work with TOUCHSCREEN, i.e. yr fingers to swipe and touch.

my experience, a normal mouse works better than an airmouse - easier to "drag".

i mean this tvbox model A95X F3 tested working fine with astro go?

I mean any tv box with any air mouse.

Becos the app is NOT built for any box.

Is astro ultra box counted as 1 device for astro go? After upgrading to ultra box, I can see it under 'registered devices'
