1. identify a box - min 3GB RAM.
2. search for a working TWRP for it.

i have less headache with tanix tx92 box. only problem is, it's quite hot.

thanks, will give it a try later.

Quite cumbersome to do it on TV. Better do it on phones. Once saved, it will be effective on TV too. AstroGo only permits one profile.

hope u r successful.

all u need is a mouse, explore, click, click.

no mouse, everything is difficult for boxes.

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

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.
and i think use on PC windows does not count towards the 4 devices.

well mine is, at least in comparison to tx3 mini that i bought very much earlier. in fact i'm running it on a cooling pad.
anyway, i managed to create favorites channels. thanks bro.

Hi Sir,

Himedia q5 pro confirm can run astro go?
the box no root? or need to magisk hide?

Probably poor firmware or cooling hardware used..

I can't recall if it still does at this time. But no, it's unrooted and doesn't require 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.

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.

likely it will be killed off as implied on a message flashed when u launch v8.2.6.

what do you mean? rooted or unrooted box also cannot use v8.2.6?

nobody is sure... will see on oct 1.

Ok

Thank you

How about mecool km9?

i bought it from shopee in late 2018. almost a year has gone by. the firmware is dated 20180410. any idea where i can get a "cooler" firmware. tanix-box web site is out of question. always got connection time-out. mine is LP-DDR3. thanks.

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.

Yeah, I too kept getting a connection timeout from their website. While I can't speak definitively, you can try out ROMs off freaktab.. Here's an example.. Usual disclaimer applies, flash at own risk and yes..You'll have to resetup and install apps all over again.

My latest findings could be amusing.. the reason for new aotg 2.192.5 video playback choppy and not synchronized audio could be due to 2 factors:

1) AndroidTV OS
2) Google Widevine Level 1

Since now GT Mini-A is now banned from Netflix ATV (error NWK-6-404) so I decided why not I downgrade the Google L1 to L3.

So I flashed with custom Alvatech custom normal android 8.1 with force flash full erasure. Then after finished, I installed DRM info. Walla, now the gt mini-A only has L3 google widevine. Then try aotg new one. Very damn nice the HD channels. Smooth like butter. Even with 8mbps connection.

Then I think why not I try back in ATV. Who knows that it might be working since it is now a L3 device. Then I flashed back with the stock Beelink ATV ROM. And guess what? The playback is choppy again, similar to the symptoms that I see on Mibox S/3.

Therefore, to those who plan to buy new android box to enjoy astrogo:

1) Buy Nvidia Shield. You can watch both neflix and new AOTG without any issue. Somebody with Shield already confirmed that it is working fine.
OR
2) Buy Mibox to enjoy netflix HD, and capable budget android box with L3 only for new AOTG
OR
3) Buy smart tv with netflix HD support, and buy android box with L3
OR
4) Buy smart tv/mibox to enjoy netflix HD, and tell yourself to stop watching astro

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?

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.

Will do later.. once bloody tm upgrade the internet in my area.. at most 8mbps currently able to cater my hd streaming need.. able to stream vudu and movies anywhere without any hiccups



Dont put your hope so high.. the way I see it is astro now want to limit their app on non certified boxes.. heck, they even later will come out with their own new set top boxes with 4k, dvr, iptv, fixed broadband all in one
