What brand/model ah? Maybe itchy handed to get one to play play. LOL.

no idea what nas set up u hv...
but i do use SMB sometimes.
the smb setup in kodi is cumbersome, easier to use es file explorer.
esf, go to network, lan, find the server, key in id, pw, etc.
use esf to find the file, select kodi to play which is better.
works fine for me wifi 50ft for tv (or box) with pc (inc ext hdd attached).
good for most videos except the heavy weights demanding v high bit rates.
keep in mind, performance for such things depends on yr network hardware, network speed, hdd read/write, file types/sizes. etc.

i use several boxes from 2 brands.

rm240 for a compact, all round use - tanix tx5 max:

rm600 for a powerful, advanced video+audio - himedia q10pro:

Ic. Thks. I am using SMB as well, will test out the ES Explorer next, I have both wired and AC connections, i think my AC connections is just as fast as a 100Mbit wired. I stream mostly on AC nowadays, i will test it out later with both to see if there is any difference, over the weekend.

Think will get an Android box soon before Gobind Singh haramkan.

the tv ethernet port is not gigabit, use of ac wifi (can get 200-300mbps) will be better is u hv >100mbps speed.

box... just dun buy those with all kinds of illegal apps installed!

Yes, i know the TV only 100mbit, which is why i use Wifi AC. I have a good external Tplink WifiAC for PC use...damn good and fast, faster than powerline adapter on 1Gbit (powerline is the bottleneck). Hmm...i wondwr if it will work if i plug in to TV.....opps...better not, later blow it up. Haha!

But illegal apps is a must if i buy a separate Android box....

4TC50AL1X selling at 1999 TBM. At pwtc fair

PWTC got fair now? If still got the petrol redeem voucher, seems like good deal.

Until when ya?

Today

After nearly two weeks, i have received notification regarding my Petronas redemption voucher on the way from GDEX.

So far, after 2 weeks using this TV, very satisfied.

I only have 1 issue, which is sometimes it auto-restart, not sure if the apps are causing it or it happens after prolonged usage like > 3hours? Anyone have experienced this?

4TC50AL1X vs LC50UA6800X, which one better to go?

auto restart happens when something is in conflict with the security of the androidtv.

u need to isolate what is causing it, remove it.

else, it works normal, no auto restart - unless u cut off the power.

One time is while watching using the RSS Player app. Another time i cant remember, maybe its while using browser.

rss doesn't cause this... been using it for months.

check yr connections, wifi, apps...

Both are same specs. Main difference.

AL1X use direct lighting. 6800X use Edge lightning.

Theorotically direct lightning supposely a bit more energy efficient.

But the real story is to cut cost.

The other difference is edge lightning has thinner panel. If you check the Sharp website, you can see the AL1X is thicker from top to bottom, while 6800X is very thin the top part and only thick at the bottom half part (where the TV electronics resides).

Since both performance are the same and spec same...i would recommend the older, but cheaper and slimmer 6800X...

BTW is it possible to mirror from Laptop to TV by wifi?

this is tricky...

if i remember correctly, chrome has recently changed something in windows such that some windows applications can't mirror with chromecast.

Youtube can; VLC player cannot; can use chrome extension to get round it but u get 720p, 2.0 audio max.

you gotta google and read more.


ok with android tablet using google home app.

My RM100 voucher arrived. Apparently its in the form of a Petronas Card.

Found one shop selling at RM1,899 in Lazada. Any other place that's cheaper?
