I put OpenELEC on an old 30gB 2.5" SSD I had sitting around unused.

If you use a Flirc or have IR in your device and a Android device with IR it might be pretty handy. Worth taking a look at ZappIR. RE: Zotac ZBOX B1320 *Opinion please* Too good to be true? - Stereodude - 2015-02-05 If you have an Android device you should be using Yatse instead of messing around with IR.

I do, see? Tap the Yatse button and it opens the apk. When I quit I go back to the ZappIR apk.

Does anyone have any experience using this in the summer? Does the fan spin up to loud levels? RE: Zotac ZBOX B1320 *Opinion please* Too good to be true? - tfouto - 2015-02-09 Anyone using this box with Windows 8.1? Everything works pretty ok? No bugs? Thanks RE: Zotac ZBOX B1320 *Opinion please* Too good to be true? - tmmoore800 - 2015-02-09 I tried to use Windows 8.1 without much luck. I can install addons however, none work. I found different log errors but the most common is Errno 10061 connection refused. Googled the heck out various errors with no luck. I have disabled firewall and turned off antivirus…. Internet connection is fine, uninstalled re installed, tried restore points. Nothing helped. . I just cannot actually connect to any video addon content. I have set up multiple Windows 7 boxes with Kodi without issue. I am trying to open the same video addons that I used on my other machines. I am interested in hearing about anyone else's experience. Thanks Note updating in attempting to remove banned content. RE: Zotac ZBOX B1320 *Opinion please* Too good to be true? - wrxtasy - 2015-02-09 You will not get any help here trying to discuss or fix banned add-ons. This was your first post on the forum, I suggest you read the forum rules: http://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Forum_rules/Banned_add-ons RE: Zotac ZBOX B1320 *Opinion please* Too good to be true? - tmmoore800 - 2015-02-09 My bad. Thanks for correcting me. For the issues I mentioned it applies to all the not banned on addons as well.

Room is at about 20c RE: Zotac ZBOX B1320 *Opinion please* Too good to be true? - viperlogic - 2015-02-10 zbox arrived yesterday, threw in a 120GB SSD and 4GB ram, installed win8.1 and then the drivers and bios update from zotac website. All done very fast and effortless. Next I added my Edimax 7811Un nano wireless adapter (RTL8192cu chip) which windows picked up and installed. Connected to my network and then proceeded to speedtest.net in which I can only get approx 3Mbps. Hmmm, should be faster than that. - Installed latest driver from Edimax site, still ~3Mbps - Tried with a USB extension lead in case for any reason there was interference close to the box, still ~3Mbps - Tried in my windows 7 laptop, ~15Mbps+ - Tried in my windows 7 laptop with extension lead, ~15Mbps+ Anyone else having similar issues? Unless there are no other suggestions I will install windows7 on the zbox tonight and also try the Edimax on a friends win8 box. Process of elimination! Update: - Full speed on friends win8 box. - Will also play-around forcing N on router just in case its going down to b or g etc RE: Zotac ZBOX B1320 *Opinion please* Too good to be true? - flhthemi - 2015-02-10 Just so ya know...on cat5 I see 50+Mbps on a 46Mbps connection AT&T U-Verse, Speedtest into Charlotte N.C. AT&T site. Cat5 passes through a Netgear 1gb switch. |
