RE: Rockchip RK3288 SoC based Android media players and XBMC experience? - Stimmenhotel - 2014-12-01 For Kodi, are there plugins for Amazon Prime Video or Netflix? On Android you can get official versions from play store. Kodi.. I don't know it that well yet... I am still waiting for the ok to go with a tronsmart device... (I just hear that is not working, this isn't working...) RE: Rockchip RK3288 SoC based Android media players and XBMC experience? - nickr - 2014-12-01 There are a couple of netflix addons, not sure about amazon prime, but I assume you know how to use a search function?

You can run a full os such as Ubuntu or even Openelec if you just need xbmc.THanks for clearing it up! I was slightly misled by this, which seems to favor RockChip: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/compare/247502?baseline=786009 (2014-12-01, 08:07)wrxtasy Wrote: And just to complicate the issue you can get a portable Acer C720 Chromebook on discount sale now that has the same guts as a Haswell/ Celeron 2955U Chromebox (M004U).Indeed! Amazon just quoted it at $149! i stumbled on the same conundrum: htpc, or htpc you can take to a cafe as a laptop? LOL. @nickr, does xbmc allow a browser to be on there too? if so, then i really won't need android. RE: Rockchip RK3288 SoC based Android media players and XBMC experience? - Topken - 2014-12-01 There is a project to put a browser into openelec/xbmc but its currently no go for netflix. If I remember correctly RE: Rockchip RK3288 SoC based Android media players and XBMC experience? - oldino - 2014-12-01 Does anyone have any idea how to get external player to work on Kodi running on EKB328 (box based on RK3288)? I have created playercorefactory.xml, pointed it right to mx player, but when opening a video file on lan I just get popup (External Player Active) "Click OK when playback has ended", and nothing shows.... Code: <playercorefactory> RE: Rockchip RK3288 SoC based Android media players and XBMC experience? - nickr - 2014-12-01 (2014-12-01, 17:58)Kiers Wrote: @nickr, does xbmc allow a browser to be on there too? if so, then i really won't need android.Take a look at the chrome browser addon.

RE: Rockchip RK3288 SoC based Android media players and XBMC experience? - mujunk - 2014-12-04 I am considering buying an RK3288 box. Other than XBMC, I would also like to run the Skype app for android. Could any of the existing owners kindly confirm the following 1. Are all USB webcams supported or do I need to buy specific ones? 2. Can I receive a Skype call while running XBMC. If yes, then will XBMC automatically pause the currently playing media? 3. Is Google Hangouts supported? RE: Rockchip RK3288 SoC based Android media players and XBMC experience? - ajssss - 2014-12-04 I have recently purchased a Measy B4S RK3288 box. I am currently just testing it but I have an issue with Network performance, both RJ45 & WiFi. If I attempt to play a HD movie over the network I get a lot of buffering, it makes it unwatchable. I have tried applied a couple of recent Firmware updates I have found on the Internet but these haven't resolve the problem. I have now found an update from mo123, (HPH_RK3288_ROM_v1.2_mo123) can you please advise if the Network Performance is a widely experienced by a lot of people, and if this update has corrected this problem.

Could any of the existing owners kindly confirm the following@mujunk, wrong thread, your questions are not specific to Rockchip RK3288 but instead specific to Android and different firmware from box vendors. (2014-12-04, 10:29)mujunk Wrote: 1. Are all USB webcams supported or do I need to buy specific ones?No but most work, use Google to search if it is Android compatible and which version is required. (2014-12-04, 10:29)mujunk Wrote: 2. Can I receive a Skype call while running XBMC.

I also have Measy B4S. The network is not as great as I expect it to be but I can play Bluray iso off my NAS. Sometimes there may be a quick buffering but it plays well most of the time. And it connects to only ONE of my routers. Anyway, it works. I have problem with audio passthrough (Kodi RC2), though. Can you show me how to flash new rom onto it? RE: Rockchip RK3288 SoC based Android media players and XBMC experience? - ajssss - 2014-12-09 Here are the firmware updates that I have already tried Here is the latest stock firmware for the Measy B4S. There is video tutorial included as part of this download http://4minipc.ru/proshivki/172-stokovaya-proshivka-dlya-measy-b4s.html Here is a compatible firmware http://www.ahappydeal.info/showthread.php?1305-Download-latest-Android-KitKat-4-4-2-stock-firmware-for-RKM-MK902II-TV-Box&s=43ca0f12940e7ed55a9810591dd83621 Neither of the above updates resolved the Network issues I experienced I have now come across the the following http://www.freaktab.com/archive/index.php/t-18706.html Currently I seem to be loading one firmware image after the next without any real plan, I wanted to see if anyone else had experience the Network problems I am experiencing before I tried any other option. There is always a danger you may inadvertantly brick you device if something goes wrong.

RE: Rockchip RK3288 SoC based Android media players and XBMC experience? - Stimmenhotel - 2014-12-09 The advertisement seems to be greate... I wanted the tronsmart too, but I have read first in different forums... Now I am waiting ;-) RE: Rockchip RK3288 SoC based Android media players and XBMC experience? - Heiko123 - 2014-12-09 I bought a Tronsmart R28 within a RK3288 and I'm testing with the latest nightly-builds. The actually result is: - it is working WITHOUT a hardware-acceleration - (With hardware-acceleration I get a freeze after 2 minute) I'm waiting for the next firmware 111K4 and hope than will it working with hardware-acceleration. |
