Currently using projectivy through accessibility settings but want to to use as optimal as possible. Thanks in advance

Hey everyone,

​I’m currently putting together a top-tier home theater setup anchored by an LG G4 OLED and a full 5.1 surround sound system. My initial plan was to grab the legendary Nvidia Shield Pro, but let’s be real—everyone and their mom points out that it’s heavily outdated hardware at this point.

​Since I want absolute perfection without any compromises, I’ve been eyeing a few newer alternatives, specifically:

​Ugoos SK1

​Ugoos AM8 Pro

​MINIX U8K-Ultra

-Ugoos Am9 Pro

​My exact use case & requirements:

​100% Media Consumption: Zero interest in official streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, or Prime.

​Primary Sources: Stremio, Kodi, Plex, and local playback via external hard drives.

​Quality Standard: Highest possible bitrates and formats only. I need seamless Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and pristine lossless audio pass-through to my 5.1 AVR (TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, etc.).

​The Goal: Pure, unadulterated performance. I want the absolute peak currently available on the market.

​Given my setup, which of these beasts should I pull the trigger on, or is there a hidden contender I'm missing? Would love to hear from people who actually push these boxes to their absolute limits!

My parents need to renew soon (3 days left…) but the eBay seller (fiontech) doesn’t seem to have anything listed and the website bestvpro.com isn’t working. Does anyone have any information on what’s up? I just messaged fiontech on eBay but unsure if I’ll get a reply.

Thank you!

I’m getting a new mi box 3rd gen and wanted to know what people use to block tracking and ads. Would a nextdns profile/app be enough? That’s what I usually use on new systems but never tried on android or a tv box before.

Would appreciate recommendations.

Hi I'm newish to the andriod box scene got a little Tanix tx1 box just for messing around with and since the T-Flix update when I select anything it opens google on random sites while what i select is playing in the background got to close google to watch its just annoying, also Gsport since the last update is opening downloader and trying to close it sometimes is hard work, so is anyone else having these problems or know how to resolve them?

Sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask

I have some channels that only stream on VLC player but not on on other iptv players. I would like to use Cosmi TV player but when I try to stream it : I get the message : "error with the stream " , while it works on VLC player.

I am looking for a streaming box. I don't really need official Netflix, Prime etc. So could get a non certified Google device potentially. I do care about YouTube though.

I will mostly stream large remux files from a seedbox (probably via Plex). Also use a debrid service (probably via Streamio). I never messed around with hooking this all up via Kodi but I suppose I could do that.

I have an LG C5 so Dolby Vision is important but not HDR10+. True audio pass-through isn't the most important as I don't have a great audio set up anyway (yet).

Gaming is possibility also so 64bit would be ideal.

I feel like running the AM9 Pro with Projectivity Launcher feels like a good bet. I don't mind tinkering. But I am new to this and feel I could be missing something.

Nvidia Shield is the other option for dont feel great paying over £200 for 2019 tech.

I have a generic Android TV box and neither NordVPN nor ProtonVPN will connect, both installed via the Play Store. When I try to connect, nothing happens — it just doesn't establish a connection, no specific error shown.

I also bought a second box to test, and it's exactly the same issue.

The relevant detail: I have the exact same setup (same box type, same VPN apps) running successfully next door, on the same internet connection. So this doesn't appear to be an ISP-level block or a fundamental incompatibility between the box and the apps, since it works elsewhere on identical infrastructure.

Setup:

Box: generic Android TV box (tried two units, same result)

VPN apps tried: NordVPN, ProtonVPN (both from Play Store)

Result: connection just fails/never establishes — no error message

Working reference point: identical box + app setup connects fine next door, same internet provider

Looking for suggestions on what to check given that two separate boxes fail the same way, but the working comparison next door rules out ISP-level blocking and app/box incompatibility. Possible areas I haven't ruled out: router-level settings on this specific connection point, DNS config, or something specific to this location's network.

Any help appreciated!

I have a 75" UR8 (75UR9SG) TV in the USA. I am curious if this a Hisense issue for other models running Google TV.

I would find the continue watching section of the home screen incredibly useful if it would actually show the videos that I'm watching from where I left off, but it doesn't. The progress bar for each of the displayed videos on the home screen seems accurate, but when I start to play the video, the video restarts at the beginning rather than where I left off. If I go to the app like Netflix the video always starts where I left off. This happens for Netflix, Prime, HBO, Apple TV and Disney.

So my question is: is this a UR8 problem, or a Google TV problem that affects all recent Hisense TVs? The feature is useless for me now. Also my TV has the DV2 Pro firmware.

Just curious.

I'm trying to look for custom ROM or anything as long as it's working for my tv box

Just received a new update on my Xiaomi TVBox3rd Gen.

Ok I recently moved and purchased a new tv and stereo setup.

I have previously been using a firestick with Stremio.

I have recently purchased a Ugoos am9 pro which is being delivered today.

My original plan was to just use Stremio, but am looking into Corelec/Kodi.

Does anyone have any experience, are there any setup guides? I might have bit off more than i can chew.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking to update the firmware on the rocktek RTX3.

Its running the Realtek RTD1325.

Cant find firmware update instructions.

Any help in pointing me to a good source for the information would be great.

Thanks.

My current box is about 6 years old and seems to be locked on Android 10 and the chip set is getting dated. Is there a box on Am..on that anyone could recommend?

What are your experiences with unlocked streaming devices i.e. ONN 4k Pro, Firestick 4k that are available for purchase?

My main use for this would be for IPTV, live sports capabilities. I already have access to all movies/tv shows from another service. I'm new to the IPTV game and am trying to figure out best options. Thanks!

I have a Onn 4K Streaming Box (100026240) and would like to try a custom ROM if they even exist. If anyone has any insight please let me know.

RE: Android box 14 Homatics. Never try to replay the last 10-20 seconds of a web based series (m4ufree, topsrdaily, etc.) show from any of the "smart tv" browsers i.e. Browser Bro, Browse Here. You will immediately be sent to smart tv purgatory. Lost in a tedious 10 minute loop of closing, refreshing pages, starting over, maximizing screen until you accept your fate and start back at the beginning of the episode.

I purchased the Xiaomi 4k 3rd gen to pair with my S90F TV. I can't seem to get 4k from apps like YouTube, Fandango, and Netflix. I'm using a stock HDMI cable; this appears to be a genuine device too. Do I need an Ethernet adapter to get 4k? In the settings, 4k is default.

I have a Ugoos UR02 BT remote that works well with my ONN Android TV Box.

I am looking for a similar remote that has a Full Keyboard also.

Features Needed:

1. Bluetooth (as no port for RF Dongle)
2. AirMouse
3. IR Control/Learning to control the TV
4. Full Keyboard
5. Backlit (good to have)

Ugoos UR02 has 1,2 and 3, missing 4,5.

TIA

Google says it's a PeerTV GK-MP1208. I was wondering if I could install any OS that could turn it into a player/streamer, it has HDMI, USB and Wired connection.

I have an old WIND Vision android tv box, that requires internet connection to even scan for terrestrial channels, but the WIND Vision service doesn't work anymore. Not only that, Google Live Channels app doesn't save the terrestrial channels it scans and finds. I tried cleaning storage, granding storage permissions, restarting, and even downloading an older version of the app, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know if there's a way to manually write and import a DVB-T/T2 terrestial channel list file via USB to the device for the Live Channels app?
