First of all would like to thx for Your opinion. Acording to MiniX 8-H plus - what about DTS HD? Is it working? I've read on Minix forum that they've got some issue with that, specially 7.1 decoding. I got all my library (music and mkv movies) on HDD with DTS and DD...It would be hooked-up to my Denon X2000 As to 3D ISO - I do not care about that feature RE: MeLE X2000 4K Quad Core H.265 3D ISO XBMC Player - malcolmbarr - 2015-01-09 I will do a quick test on the HD pass through on the MiniX later and report back. Can I ask why an Android based box? Is Chromebox pricey where you are? Or is there another reason you favour the Android route? RE: MeLE X2000 4K Quad Core H.265 3D ISO XBMC Player - hdmkv - 2015-01-09 Minix can't do HD audio bitstreaming, nor frame-packed 3D (which I do care about ). RE: MeLE X2000 4K Quad Core H.265 3D ISO XBMC Player - TrustNoOne - 2015-01-09 @malcolmbarr hmm...i've never thought about Chromebox. Is it better then android BOX? (noobe question) and what about Kodi? Is it possible to install it?? ps. I'm from Poland and Asus Chrombox cost here sth. about 420$ :/ RE: MeLE X2000 4K Quad Core H.265 3D ISO XBMC Player - hdmkv - 2015-01-09 Chromebox with OpenELEC is just about the best for Kodi if you don't need full 3D playback. See here. RE: MeLE X2000 4K Quad Core H.265 3D ISO XBMC Player - malcolmbarr - 2015-01-09 TrustNoOne - you need to read the Kodi wiki entry on Chromebox, and then the threads here on it. Yes you can install Kodi on it, and once you have done the initial set up it runs very well indeed. It doesn't come with a remote, but I use a bluetooth PS3 remote (which controls both the box and the volume on the TV) and it works very well. Many people here think it is a great solution, although the prices of the units vary a lot depending on where you are located. They can be found relatively cheaply in the US, less so here in Europe. RE: MeLE X2000 4K Quad Core H.265 3D ISO XBMC Player - malcolmbarr - 2015-01-09 Hdmkv - you are right, Minix 8-H plus cannot do HD bitstreaming, thanks for correcting me. I misremembered. TrustNoOne - sorry I was talking rubbish! But I hope I have given you some good advice in encouraging you to look at a Chromebox...

I misremembered. OK. No problem It's hard to decide - as always money is a problem RE: MeLE X2000 4K Quad Core H.265 3D ISO XBMC Player - hdmkv - 2015-01-09 Money problem, we can't help with, but here are your best bets for the money... - Need Blu-ray 3D (frame-packed)? Get VidOn box for $69 (knowing something better will likely come along this year) - Don't care for above? Get Chromebox for about $150 or so and install OpenELEC (for set-top box feel, perfect video playback, hd audio) - Need Netflix, Amazon and other premium apps? Get Amazon Fire TV box ($80-99) or stick ($39) and install Kodi (no 3D, no hd audio) RE: MeLE X2000 4K Quad Core H.265 3D ISO XBMC Player - TrustNoOne - 2015-01-10 @up as far i can see VidOn is better ten Minix Neo 8-h Plus?? Of course i can be wrong about that. RE: MeLE X2000 4K Quad Core H.265 3D ISO XBMC Player - hdmkv - 2015-01-10 Well, Minix doesn't do HD audio nor 3D, but VidOn does. While Minix does 23.976 and is a faster, more fluid box. RE: MeLE X2000 4K Quad Core H.265 3D ISO XBMC Player - malcolmbarr - 2015-01-10 I have a Wetek Play on the way to me (should arrive Mon/Tue) and I will be very interested to compare running openelec on that to the Chromebox. These are priced at 99 euros with free delivery (close to 120 US Dollars). Over here in Europe it is very hard to get a chromebox for close to the 150 US dollars they same to go for in the US. I bought mine on a short time offer from Amazon US and had it shipped to me in the UK, paying import duties, and ended up paying the equivalent of near 190US in total. Even that is cheaper than one would pay for the entry level Chromeboxes over here. If the Wetek Play can do anything like the Chromebox on Openelec it could be a good value for money option for We Europeans. And you could treat the Android side of the box just as a hobby if you wanted to play with it.... RE: MeLE X2000 4K Quad Core H.265 3D ISO XBMC Player - TrustNoOne - 2015-01-10 OK what about that -> Prodigy 4K.
