An update on my part regarding the box and Youtube + General usage.
I have now moved my Wetek Box to the bedroom as this is my secondary box. Reason being the recent purchase of my new Preyda Q-Box at a fraction of the price which was initially bought for use upstairs has now been promoted to the main TV.
My Wetek box was buffering and struggling with Youtube videos, was running generally laggy and crashing more than I would have liked it too. Whereas the Preyda box to my surprise which was working with Half of the internet speeds the Hardwired Core was, was smooth and stable in every way.
Still when upstairs and on the Wi-Fi the Wetek struggles with Youtube, and takes some time to load up. I must add that I have not installed any more applications or videos/media files other than Deezer and Mobdro, everything else is standard and doesn't seem to slow down the Preyda box.
Any suggestions as to why this would be the case I am open too.
I hate to suggest this, because it's the bog-standard support response that doesn't always work, but do try a factory reset. The Core should be buttery smooth on wired ethernet, so maybe some android system file got corrupt. A factory reset is normally the fastest/easiest way to rule that out.

If you need Chromecasting then you will need either a Chromecast or an official "Android TV" device (Nexus Player, Shield, Mi Box, etc). All Chromecast targets have to phone in and be approved by Google's servers, so it's the most tightly controlled feature of them all. It can't really be reversed engineered and offered by anyone other than Google.

Then I should say that it is not possible in a reliable manner.

Hi guys, I don't know where to put this question, because is related to two different behaviors expreiments in two different configurations.
I try to explain it:
1) At my home I have a WP2, accessing my LAN devices : 1 NAS ( where are stored media files) and a Window 10 PC (where are stored addons, ROM images, and other stuff..)
When I added network location, I was able to browse all the devices from "Windows SMB network" node, without the need to explicitly set the IP address in the "Server Name" field. So I can really see the PC Name, the NAS Name etc.. as defined in my LAN.
2) At home of my best friend, who bought my Core, instead we're not able to add network location using "Windows SMB Network", but we have to set the Server Name inserting the IP adress (it forces consequently to set static IP address for them, reserving also those IP on the router configuration). Also my friend has a couple of Windows PC (one with W7, one with W10) and a NAS identical to mine one. No way to access to share folders on those PC or on the NAS using their network names....
Obviously the second method works, but I'd like to understand why the two system have a so different behaviors? I'm thinking that probaly there are some missing services running on my friend's PC... maybe the "mixed" Windows versions? Maybe the hell of "Group Home" in addition to "Workgroup"?....It's really a mess....any ideas?
thanks!
Andrea
