Well there is a hole in the market for a decent Google Certified (click) dual MUX Tuner - Android TV device, possibly with PVR features. Especially now that Google have optimised Android Oreo for lower spec chipsets, and have implemented Project Treble for Oreo 8.1 and onwards. I just hope the AMLogic Oreo deinterlacing is proper full motion and not the half motion garbage AMLogic Android users currently put up with. Previous details that I posted back in August....

So looks as if a bit more patience is required. Shouldn't be a problem after all the time waiting for Wetek in the past...

RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - d'Wooluf - 2018-11-15 Hey all. I'm running one of the last Kaszaq (sp?) builds on a Beelink MX III II S905x machine. It has served me well. I suspect corruption on the microSD card and I want to start from scratch with a new card. I was hoping someone might tell me the 'best' build to get (I know that's totally subjective). I'm not up with Libre vs Core and Leia vs Krypton. I did go back back through the thread. A couple of hours of research might find me my answer but I was hoping someone could save me that couple of hours. Thanks.

Before a complete Nuke it option...just drop the .img.gz and newer .dtb file in the Update folder and Reboot and see how you go. W. RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - d'Wooluf - 2018-11-15 Awesome. Thanks wrxtasy. I was going to back up database and settings to a network drive and then restore to the new Kodi. At least, try that first. Greetings from a town very near you. RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - wrxtasy - 2018-11-16 Want to see what the guts of a mass manufactured Android TV device from major company like Vodafone / Technicolor looks like even at the AUD$72 / USD$52 end of the market, check out the following hardware Porn: Vodafone TV Box with DVB-T 2/5 AC WiFi Fast Lan BT 4.2 ATV 7.1.1 (click) I'm really impressed !

And apparently there won't be any more updates for the Play2. That's what they told someone on Facebook. RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - wrxtasy - 2018-12-22 @Magendanz, a well respected Android ROM developer from over on the Android Freaktab Website posted this recently in a S905X2 - (Videostrong) MECOOL KM9 thread and it neatly sums up the late 2018 Netflix situation regarding cheap Google non-certified, Netflix non-approved, Android hardware... Quote:Okay, I feel that I've got to chime in here to defend VideoStrong... I will add... Luckily with Android Kodi Leia running on devices with Widevine L1 DRM, Kodi users now can use the Android Kodi Leia Netflix Addon (click) to stream 1080p with 5.1 DD+ / DD audio. Unfortunately the new AMLogic S905X2/Y2 chipsets have no Linux ARM G-31 GPU drivers so they cannot dual boot and run LibreELEC or CoreELEC Kodi. Also is appears the MECOOL - AMLogic Oreo 8.1 does not have IEC61937 Android Kodi HD audio support. We see the same issues on the new Oreo 8.1 with the Xiaomi Mi Box S. There is NO Android Kodi auto refresh / resolution switching on these cheap AMLogic Android media players. The previous S905X & S912 (Nougat) devices with Widevine L1 DRM still represent better Kodi value if you want to dual boot and need to have working HD audio with auto refresh & resolution switching for LibreELEC / CoreELEC Kodi Krypton onwards. AND like always - you really need Gigabit Ethernet if you plan on home network streaming high bitrate 4K HDR Bluray Rips on any Kodi device. W.

Аccording to one of the LibreELEC developers thats not true : https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/12325-8-2-4-1-libreelec-kodi-krypton-s905-s912-devices/?postID=104959#post104959 RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - wrxtasy - 2018-12-22 (2018-12-22, 08:04)chocho Wrote:(2018-12-22, 05:34)wrxtasy Wrote: Unfortunately the new AMLogic chipsets have no Linux ARM G-31 GPU drivers so they cannot dual boot and run LibreELEC or CoreELEC Kodi. Yes I agree if we crystal ball gaze into the future, but... It's pretty true for the current implementations of LE / CE Kodi Krypton / Leia that use the old v3.14 Linux Kernel and that was basically what I was talking about, and end Kodi users would currently be interested in. Give it up to a year and Linux ARM Kodi developers might get interested in S905X2/Y2 and by then a bunch of us would be looking at something based on the S922X reference AML boards (click) RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - wrxtasy - 2019-07-21 An update in this budget thread because AMLogic devices will be hitting the market real soon with what will be updated AML S905X3's (click) in them. These will get much cheaper as virtually every seller starts releasing then in coming months. The beauty of such devices is this time around they come equipped with Gigabit LAN (1000M) and USB3 out of the box. The 1.9GHz S905X3 will likely be the mass market AML chipset for years to come, until the S905X4 hits which is rumoured to have next gen. AV1 (click) video hardware decoding. The S905X3 uses ARM Cortex-A55 CPU's which are up to ~20% faster vs all the previous S905X's, that used ARM Cortex-A53's. Memory performance is also faster. Further details are in this S905X3/Y3/D3 Freaktab Post (click) S905X2/X3 will give you auto switching everything + Kodi Leia 4K HDR + HD Audio support if you use the CoreELEC OS (click) As usual BT and WiFi driver support will likely be hit and miss at first when using such a Linux based OS. Use Gigabit LAN instead. Also recommended is a Wireless remote with it’s own USB RF receiver dongle, which completely avoids all Infra Red and Bluetooth remote hassles. Usually Beelink devices have those, otherwise something like the MINIX A2 lite with it’s mini keyboard is a real beauty for Kodi usage. W. RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - hdmkv - 2019-07-21 Thanks @wrxtasy. I haven't closely followed recent/new AMLogic options since my Tanix TX92 w/CoreELEC (installed to internal, wiping out stock Android) still runs mostly flawlessly. But, I'm intrigued by S922X-powered ODROID-N2 (or Beelink GT-King), mostly for CE use, but maybe dual-boot w/unofficial Android TV as well. Looking for better/faster performance overall. Not that TX92 is slow, but sometimes I wish it could be a tad faster (library scans, navigation). Wondering whether S905X3/Y3/D3 would be closer to S912 performance or better? Or, go for S922X, but worth it for mostly CE use? |
