Jamesc Hypersonic June 8, 2016 Share June 8, 2016 I borrowed my friend's Xiaomi box 2 to try. The icntv app does not work. Neither does the PPTV app. What's wrong? Maybe that's why he lent it to you. Good things people never like to share one. Like a fren with a good looking wife. What a fren. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahseng 5th Gear June 8, 2016 Share June 8, 2016 Saw this fairly often at trade fairs...very tempting... How's the streaming on football channels? Smooth with little breakups? I'll try n feedback. Not really into soccer so it's not the first app I'd setup. Hahahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went for this, since dunno WIFI suitable or not...or know how to use or not... that's why opt for a as cheap as possible option first :) http://list.qoo10.sg/item/QUICK-CHARGE-LOCAL-WARRANTY-100-ORIGINAL-AUTHENTIC-MXQ-QUAD-CORE-ANDRIOD/453136675 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic June 9, 2016 Share June 9, 2016 (edited) I bought a similar one for USD$29+.. works well.. just that shipping takes a few weeks.. http://www.geekbuying.com/item/MXQ-4K-RK3229-Smart-TV-Box-Android-4-4-1G-8G-H-264-H-265-10Bit-WIFI-LAN-KODI-16-0-HDMI-DLNA-AirPlay-Miracast-362455.html They are different processors. This MxQ box is just a generic box whereby any manufacturer can just anyhow throw in the relevant processor. This one is RK3229, the above one is amlogic S805. If everything works, then shouldn't have much issue to the average joe. But it's one of the reason for different pricings of such MxQ boxes. S805 is more supported by Kodi. But it's not powerful enough to do pure software decoding say for Phoenix Sports stream for premier league. Edited June 9, 2016 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahseng 5th Gear June 9, 2016 Share June 9, 2016 Yea gotten the S905 processor, not quite sure how dok gong issit compared to the S805 but like cars...bigger number the better right? hahaha Anyway 50 plus dollars with shipping no need to think until hair white. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S805 is quite old liao. But good enough for usual kodi hardware acceleration 1080p. Just that it can't handle pure software acceleration. http://www.minipcdb.com/articles/Amlogic-S905-vs-Rockchip-RK3229 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic June 10, 2016 Share June 10, 2016 How to watch euro2016 on kodi? I google and they recommend 1) Futbol - does not work 2) Football today - does not stream anything 3) Sports devil - does not stream anything, even when I selected past games Did not sign up with Telcos for this Euro2016 cos most games at early morning which I will not watch. Will only watch games at 10pm which is the group stage. I know tomorrow's morning opening match is free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic June 10, 2016 Share June 10, 2016 I got a cheap box similar in h/w spec to a Raspberry Pi 2. The RP2 can stream 1080 video smoothly. The other box cannot. So I think, the f/w also plays a part in the whole setup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will only watch games at 10pm which is the group stage. I know tomorrow's morning opening match is free. most of these won't work. I probably won't watch. Can try UKTurk to see if got live games streams but i find them unreliable most of the time. Don't know if phoenix sports will stream or not. May not. Sopcast is probably still more reliable than all these. I got a cheap box similar in h/w spec to a Raspberry Pi 2. The RP2 can stream 1080 video smoothly. The other box cannot. So I think, the f/w also plays a part in the whole setup. the cpu is the same? Pi 2 is an cortex a7 quadcore. Yeah should be able to stream 1080 on kodi.

Kb27 Supersonic June 10, 2016 Share June 10, 2016 the cpu is the same? Pi 2 is an cortex a7 quadcore. Yeah should be able to stream 1080 on kodi. The other box is MBOX-S82 with S802 chip. It also claim h.265. But no, it couldn't even stream 1080 smoothly. Keep dropping frames. So I keep it one side and now only use Pi2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I keep it one side and now only use Pi2. hmm ok mine is a s805. Thinking of getting a minix-x8h+ depending when the new football season starts. Cos phoenix sports streams need pure software decoding which the quadcore A5 in s805 is not able to handle. my S6 phone and the mipad is able to handle it though.

Adrianli Hypersonic June 10, 2016 Share June 10, 2016 What about the Ubox? Read and saw that can watch live sports on its own Ubox app. Worth it? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
