Guys, on my GT1 ATV 7.1 ROM previously cant access AOTG with Chrome.

After I update Android Webview to latest version now able login.
You must tick desktop site in chrome setting before you surf to astrogo.astro.com.my.

However, when click any VOD or LIVE TV, before streaming starts one error pop out "streaming error..."

Is it AOTG built in player problem??

you mean, can watch aotg via browser

Previously I heard someone used AOTG with browser in Mibox.
Just curious how it will perform with browser, but for my case it does not work!

If someone able to run AOTG with browser, please do mind to share the webview version with us.

For those non certified google android box users, please dont expect to play aotg/astrogo via chrome.. astro is very strict about DRM.. usually non cert google boxes either have hacked or non working DRM.. that is why some DRM conscious apps wont work properly on non cert for example disney+, hbo now.. so if u really content with watching astrogo on DRM/Google/Netflix certified boxes on the browser, please look for the said boxes only..

currently in our Malaysian market, only the boxes listed below are DRM/Netflix certified

Nvidia Shield
Xiaomi Mi Box
Amazon FireTV (Cube, Stick)

Hope this helps..

this question is a good one.

contradicting info on it.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3561305/+3860

some say can, some say cannot; some say no subs, some say not hd...?? biggrin.gif
but i do know - smart ATV tv's can't do it - video refuses to load, message... "not allowed...".

I will try to borrow a Mibox ATV from friends and check both Apk and browser method with updated webview.
Will update finding later.

dont waste ur time trying the apk version of aotg.. live tv hd lagging.. i previously owned a mibox 3 and mibox s.. definitely not worth ur time..

as for the browser, live channel do play fine based on people's feedback, but there is slight out of sync audio.. usually for live telecast (live football etc)..

for example we see that the ball already crossed the line, 10 seconds later only the commentator shouted "GOALLL GOALLLL GOLASO GOLASO"

I will drop the plan then.

if u really want astrogo (only), no need to waste time and patience - rm100 will get a box that can do it - u know what it is. biggrin.gif

BUT... if u want Netflix HD too, u get shieldtv pro which isn't cheap.

IF u want HD audio, AFR, full BDMV menu as well.... u gotta wait as there is no box on the planet that can do all that yet.

if i find one that fits the bill, i will be shouting! laugh.gif

Yes I already hv Tx3 mini for Astro go only, and using GT1 for other purpose like play media, gaming etc.
Plan to have a one ATV box that can do all above tasks.
Since I'm using Panasonic TV I really need a ATV box for the chromecast.
No budget for Shield sad.gif
I dont need Netflix HD in box, the TV is already a Netflix TV.

Minix T5 and KM3 right on my budget and needs, but I would like to see it using S905X3 instead of S905X2.
Hmmmm....I can wait nod.gif

what u r looking for, minix t5 should be ok.
but u need a user to confirm, if u need: astrogo will work; hd audio, AFR... haven't read/watched any full review.
last i read, it is ATV but can't do netflix HD/4k yet, in the works.
if not, wait for minix u22-xj , next feb i read.... this is a power box, should do what u r looking for.

one more for yr consideration - himedia S500.
this has just been launched - android9, ATV, youtube, netflix HD/4k.
but usb2.0, hdmi2.0b only, rj45 100mbps.
should be <rm400.
if it will be what is expected, it will also do hd audio, AFR, astrogo.

Yes, Neo T5 is still no confident choice for me until full review comes out.
I do play games occasionally too like Asphalt, so if it comes with more than 2GB ram is added advantage.
That is why I still put KM3 in the bucket bcoz it offers more memory for the buck, but if AOTG no go for KM3 then I have to look for t5 or S500 I guess.

For the asking price, why not go for Netlfix certification?? doh.gif

I am sure minix is trying very hard.

Just that the certifiers can be fussy... cant blame them... if not, tomdickharry will get it, no value.

Extend the argument, majority claiming google cert, L1, netflix 4k, dolby atmos, dolby vision..... plenty fakes, uncertified... dun get fooled.

We will see in the coming months more complete reviews of mini t5, u22xj... himedia s500, 8k... ugoos am6pro, x3.

So many makers, so many standards.... video, audio, price.... its good to have choices.  laugh.gif

S905X3 using S905X2 footprint. Thus OEM vendors can easily put this latest SoC in the existing S905X2 TV box PCB.
Soon u will hear Neo T5+ or something haha

Just ordered TOX1 android box for the AOTG use case.
It is using Ugoos alike firmware. Curios to try AOTG on it.

we can be sure there are spies.

but there are like ten thousand box models... gudluk trying to kill all of them one by one.
post #1687.
yes. see abovementioned post of mine.

one thing i can advise u... sometimes it takes a few seconds for the verification to go thru.

if it says "fail", exit, go back in again... it may work then... i have seen this.
all said, i have to qualify myself - i do not know why some have success with tanix tx3mini/max/s905x3, tx6 while others fail.

that is puzzling for sure.
i asked an Ugoos AM6 seller once, he said cannot do it.
*
hmm...maybe the seller haven't unroot the box (via root switch)
I still have hope biggrin.gif

Will update on this thread once got the box
