did u use any old silver or white box?
how does the PQ in new black box compare with old?

the PQ with yr minix or any other 3rd party box...using the playtv app is never good, low bit rate like 2mbps.
the black box shud not be worse than that.

Its the new black box. Not quite sure how to explain but the colour is off, seems like it has a greenish/orange tint to it. Switching back to minix doesn't have this problem even when watching through PlayTV App. White box i am still using but is in another room on another TV. Guess i have tinker around with PQ settings when i get back home later. I am pretty sure my TV is not the problem.

Confirmed by technician black box pq cannot support 4k for Unifi tv. However, for this to go to management or product development the remark on their work order system must be made to explain such.

Ive made 3 calls so far and they are trying to close down my work order.

They promote as 4K ready, the box is ready, their apps not. Typical marketing strategy..

From my own measurements:
- Old STB = constant 8.8 Mbps
- New PlayTV app on phone = average 5 Mbps
Modded PlayTV ATV app, need to install on my non-ATV box, possible?
5 Mbps is OK & standard for many legal streaming services, but as we're spoiled with silver/white STB, it's natural we demand the black STB should be at least as good.
In my case, I'll wait until 4K channels are actually available on Unifi TV. 25 Mbps 4K streams a far-fetched dream?

QUOTE(AV_2018 @ Jan 19 2020, 12:59 PM)
Let me post this again in more detail...
Unifi TV on Unifi STB - 8Mbps, switchable audio and subtitles
Unifi TV on Streamyx STB - 2.8Mbps, hardcoded subtitles
Old Unifi playTV app (com.huawei.phone/pad.tm 7.9.11) - 2.8Mbps, hardcoded subtitles, casting blocked
New Unifi playTV app (com.tm.playtv 1.2.10) - 4.8Mbps, switchable audio and subtitles, able to cast to TV
Unifi TV for new STB / Android TV (com.tm.unifitv 1.1.4) - probably same as com.tm.playtv but with TV interface.
*the bitrates stated are max available bitrate for most HD channels. Some channels / network conditions may have lower bitrate.
Since the new Love Nature channel is 977kbps in com.tm.playtv, I guess it's not available in HD or 4K on the new STB too. Anyone with new STB can check?
I can use com.tm.playtv since last year so I have been migrated. Been subscriber for few years. A newer subscriber that I know hasn't been migrated yet.
Addon: suggest we use the package name (com.xxx.xxx) when mentioning the apps to prevent misunderstandings.

Hah, caught red handed?

Screenshot taken from Unifi playTV.

Love Nature channel is originally simulcast in both HD and 4K UHD quality from the channel provider, and they use the "Love Nature 4K" logo across both of its HD and UHD quality of the same channel.

So when TM don't intend to provide Love Nature channel in 4K UHD (especially on Unifi playTV platform), and even if TM receives the HD feed of the channel, the "Love Nature 4K" logo is still shown. In order not to confuse Unifi TV viewers that Love Nature channel is not a 4K UHD channel, they overlay or simply "paste" the alternative Love Nature logo, big enough to cover the original that shows Love Nature 4K logo, so that viewers won't get confused and wouldn't blame TM for confusing and mislead the viewers of showing the logo that indicates as 4K but actually it's just HD.

However, they simply overlay that "fake" logo by themselves all the time 24/7, even when it shows the "rated U by censorship board" thing (refer screenshot above).

So in conclusion? TM shouldn't brag too much they're now providing a TV channel in 4K UHD quality. Maybe they should take Astro's Ultra Box as a reference.

Astro has UHD channel...
"Astro UHD" on ch780. They rojak some shows from Love Nature, Insight TV, tvN Movies, and Premier league matches into one channel.

And also 2 Astro Best UHD channels, ch498 and ch499. That's if you rent Astro Best movies, then only you can watch that.

Those channels will appear on your channel list when you upgrade to Ultra Box. No additional monthly charges, but 24 months contract applies.

This part manage to install with success (I guess). but the apps is no where to be found in the box.


D:\platform-tools>adb -s 192.168.0.128:5555 install "d:\platform-tools\speedtest.apk"
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install d:\platform-tools\speedtest.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113]
