Issue in saving files over FTP

Hi Guys,

I am not able to send files to my USB drive when connected as FTP. Is there any solution for this? My device is on 103L.

I am using a pen drive which is working fine. Will test with HDD tonight and confirm :)

Have now updated all 4 of my mxiii-g boxes (Gearbest 2G/8G) with the 106L1 firmware (from the 102L1 & 103L1) and am well pleased so far!

I installed all my apps (using appBrain) and configured them on one box, then made a backup using titanium of all apps and data. I then made a copy of my kodi data folder (.kodi) and copied these backups to a microSD (got reasonably good read & write speeds 12MB/s). After flashing each box after that I used the micro SD to copy my backups to each box and then restored the data. Result: the first box took about 5h to finalise the config, each subsequent one after that took about 15min. Happy chappy!

I can also report that all Lollipop UI settings (also using the mediabox settings interface) now work properly including wifi and ethernet, sound interface, bluetooth etc. I used a 2,4Ghz wireless (Trust) keyboard (incl joystick mouse) to set everything up and it worked flawlessly too on all 4 boxes. Also the google play service error no longer appears. Also no problems with any video's on kodi, regardless of streaming or pre-downloaded, also no problems with any of the codecs, audio or video, everything runs smoothly (altho I havent tried any 4k material). I also think the OTA update will now work as well as Tronsmart do seem to be providing more releases as they become more stable.

So far this box beats everything else I used to have and is probably the best thing available in this pricerange with this firmware....

I wanted to ask you if dolby digital 5.1 and dts work within kodi and if 1080p films seating on hard disk run smoothly. Thanks.

Anyone knows if Tronsmart 106L1 firmware will be fine on MXIII-G 1GB version?

I wonder if the wifi will be OK since 2GB and 1GB boxes have different wifi chips.

(my box should arrive home soon)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Valorster:
I am on current version:MXIII-G_104L1

The 2GB/8GB version of the box

There like 5 apps installed and it's already whinning about low memory to install apps.

Can't even move apps to SD card.

Anyone else having problems with that?

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] joeblow1616:
Hi guys,

From what I'm reading here, the MXIII G is the same as the Tronsmart MXIII Plus. Do I understand correctly?

Everybody is using the Tronsmart firmware from what I see so it seems logical that it's basically the same hardware with a different name on it.

some of specs for the Tronsmart:

Model Number: MXIII Plus

Color: Black

CPU: Amlogic S812 Quad Core up to 2.0GHz (Cortex-A9)

Memory: DDR3 2GB

Internal Storage: Onboard eMMC Flash 8GB

Operation System: Google Android 4.4.2

WIFI / Bluetooth: IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4GHz/5GHz WiFi Compliant, Bluetooth V4.0

HDMI / Video: HDMI 1.4, 4K*2K, H.265 HEVC

AV Out & SPDIF: Yes

Peripheral Interface: DC-IN, AV Out, RJ45, HDMI, SPDIF, Micro SD Card Reader, OTG, USB*2

Power: Tronsmart MXIII Plus Original Power Adapter 5V/2A

So: is it the same thing?

Thank you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] oulouloul:
yes. you can use mxiii g or mxiii plus roms.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Steefmeister:
I updated this box to the 106L version. The google services crash is resolved now.

However several issues remain.

The box will freeze when I start a video file in kodi from my own server (nfs or samba).

The box is also struggling with poor internet speed. Ookla speedtest points out the the speed does not go above 10 mbit. (Wired). My laptop has a download speed of 33 mbit (plugged the network cable from the android box in the laptop for testing).

Should I flash KitKat in order to use my android box? Anybody else facing the same issues?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] dakok:
There are some reports from 4PDA and Androidiani forums that the box received 106L OTA update yesterday
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] joeblow1616:
thanks for the answer. I'm actually asking because I want to buy the Tronsmart, not the MX III, and just wanted to make sure I don't make a mistake.

so it's ok?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Steefmeister:
Ok to respond to my earlier issue:

I flashed the KitKat rom in order see if the issues could be resolved this way.

The first internet speeds tests were very positive. above 40mbit. So I hope this speed remains. Another positive thing is that the box does not freeze anymore when I play a video file from my own server in kodi (nfs). However, now another issue occurs. I won't play the video smoothly. I do not know how to describe it but it 'stutters'.

I excluded the network speeds and the GPU: Playing the same files with ES File Explorer via network is not an issue.

So I guess it must be some kind of setting in Kodi. Can anybody help me to solve this (hopefully) last issue?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cioma2:
Hi i've just launched the OTA update but when it finished the download, approx 166mb, it says: system damaged, wireless upgrade disabled

i'm connected by ethernet cable......

i'm asking you: can you tell me where can i find a way to reset the MxIII and find an ugraded firmware?

thanks :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Steefmeister:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cioma2:
Ok thanks.... i'll let you know :D
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] d0rkster:
Does anyone know if the MXIII support hardware decoding dolby/dts (meaning it will have sound with any video player I use)?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cioma2:
Hi Steefmeister

everything ok, same error if i try Ota update but now i'll always use the SD way.....

One question: is there a way to perform a boot from SD card? I.e. an openelec....?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Steefmeister:
I don't know exactly what you mean. You mean like installing Kodi etc on SD card and directly boot to that?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cioma2:
Exactly: i.e. install Openelec on SD and perform a boot from Sd....
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Steefmeister:
Nope don't think so. Personally I did not succeed on installing Kodi on SD for android. Of that would be possible you could download an autorun app to 'autostart' kodi or any other app you desire.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cioma2:
Openelec is based on Kodi but it's more like an operating system, it would be like booting from Sd (or usb stick) an ubuntu distro....

I'm only wondering if is there a way to perform an Sd or usb boot on the MxIII....
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Steefmeister:
I think a Raspberry Pi would be a better solution for you in that case?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cioma2:
Absolutely yes, it was my doubt before buying the MxIII..... but even the Raspberry 2 does not support X265.....

There are a few android machins like the MxIII that support the sd/usb boot..... i'll search around the net if is there a way

meanwhile, thank you :D have a nice day
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ddarlington36:
I saw you were trying to get openelec i myself have zero experience

On openelec was just really wondering why you wanted openelec is it because

The update you loaded basically broke your wifi/ethernet you could just reload the rom you Had before the update.

There is a fix for the hardware acceleration if thats what your looking to do

Edit: turns out i'm not able to provide the links untill i have enough posts

If you visit freaktab you can find serveral topics on openelec search openelec+mxiii-g
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cioma2:
Hi Ddarlington36

On openelec was just really wondering why you wanted openelec is it because << because i'm constantly unsatisfied by the stuff that works great :D you can't imagine how many rom on my cell phone i've changed......and they was all perfectly working :D

The rom after the SD update is ok ....

I'm already signed in the freaktab forum, in a few minutes i'll search what you suggested....

Thanks :D

hey guys i have this box and to be honest the remote controll is so bad i want to break it sometimes so now i decided to buy new controll and therefor would like to ask if someone konw or think that apple remote v2 could work with this box or not?

if not how about MiniX Neo M1 controll instead...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ddarlington36:
I agree with you the remote is terrible i doubt you could even use an apple remote with this device. You could use something like what i have Android mini rii i8 keyboard its pretty good with the kodi interface. Or the rii i25 is another solution which is basically an air mouse remote with a keyboard on the reverse side.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xazo:
Boy do i wish u are wrong about that since im buying that remote to my old parents and they dont need complecated remotes with small buttons etc so apple remote would be perfect for their needs...

I really dont know how to find out if apple remote v2 works or if MiniX Neo M1 control dose...

didnt find any info in google either.. dose mxiii have ir reciver like apple or is it some other frequnsy and thats why apple remote wont work with the box ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ddarlington36:
As for the apple tv remote i'm not sure if it will work but most likely you will need to edit etc/remote.conf to make it work with the apple tv remote

Try this thread its about remotes http://xdaforums.com/android-tv/android-sticks/to-universal-remote-to-control-add-t3092663

Hello Guys,

New here and I just received the MXIII-G from Bangood. Had to pay €35,- taxes :rolleyes:...

Anyway, just started this baby and installed the latest firmware from Tonsmart and Kodi 15.2. So far so good and it works wel.

Tested the netflix app and at first the quality is really bad, it improves in a couple of seconds but still the quality is not full HD and I cannot get 5.1 sound

Is there a fix??

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] rhtizzy:
Don't know about the quality as there are too many external factors involved but I only got 5.1 working when the media box volume is on full. I suppose it has something to do with the passthrough on spdif?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pofcorn:
Has anyone tried to use Moonlight game streaming on this box? Does it work well?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gthebest:
Exactly I would like to ask if it supports dts and dolby digital 5.1 sound from spdif output.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Asfeld:
I confirm that dts and dolby digital are supported from spdif output, I tested them with Kodi's passthrough and it's all ok.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] supernovasx:
Ok how is the quality for you at netflix? I am using the audio trough HDMI on my receiver and on kodi I get DTS and 5.1 it works perfect

Has anyone figured out if its possible to modify build.prop or get access so that Google Play recognizes the MXIII-G as an Android TV device and not a generic Android 5.x device? For a TV box, it would be great to be able to download and install Android TV apps which are designed to work with a d-pad remote rather than a mouse. I'm guessing ATV gapps would be needed? Anyone figure this out or know if its possible?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TunaFlapjack:
If you change the build.prop it will install the Android TV play store which is very limited, I can't rember the exact procedure if you look at this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3138575

Its explaind how to stop the box installing the TV version so rust reverse the renaming in the build.prop
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mr3p:
[MENTION=5827017]TunaFlapjack[/MENTION] - Thanks for the suggestions. Are changes to build.prop all that is needed or are ATV specific gaps required as well? I admit to not reading all 67 pages of the thread linked to above but I didn't see a procedure to reverse on that thread as it appears the changes are made in the custom ROM. I do understand the Android TV apps are limited on Google Play but for those that exist, its much preferable to be able to use a remote rather than a mouse. I've pulled a few apks from FireTV and they will run on MXIII-G if you install Amazon app store.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TunaFlapjack:
If all your interested in is using a gaming pad why not look at something like the sixaxis app that let's you remap ps3/ps4 controller if you have one that is or I'm sure there are other apps that will allow you to use a gaming pad of choice. Yes you are right there are specific TV apps you can find them on apk mirror.

Hi, can you help me with the Bluetooth thing? I can't seem to find in the menu how to turn it on. I tried installing that sixais app but when opened, it says Bluetooth is not turned on or something, other apps says Bluetooth is not enabled on this device. Is this a bug or something?

hi guys

I have this androidPC and have some problems:

-In last Lollipop ROM or any Lollipop ROM, I dont have sound with AC3 when I use the internal videoplayer (the one who appear when you press the movie button of the remote) or when I use MXPlayer. But when I use XBMC I have sound. Anyone know can I fix this?? Is because normally I prefer to use the internal videoplayer.

-In KK ROMs like 316k4 I dont have the other problem, I have sound in all videoplayers, but I have a logo/image (in the rigth upper corner) of Dolby Digital with the internal videoplayer:

Here can you see the problem ( I cant post link because is my first message):------------h__p:// imgur.com/nspr4Om

Anyone know how to quit or disable this logo?

I forgot to say that the sound go directly to the TV, I dont have an amplifier or something similar, the sound only go in PCM through HDMI. And the logo is not generated by the TV, because I have other androidTV and dont do nothing of this.

I think you might have the other version. Where did you buy you box? Because there is a cheaper version with only 1 GB of ram and it does not support Bluetooth....

And if you dit buy the 2GB version maybe they send you the wrong one? Check out how much memory you have.

Using External USB Drives

Hi,

I couldn't find an answer to this in the thread (apologies if there is one), but I'm trying to use my MX III-G with Kodi and an external USB drive. The drive is recognised just fine, and works well (through Kodi, etc.) But I want to be able to copy files to it, across the LAN, from my PC. I have an MX III-G (2GB version, with 5.1 or 5.1.1 - my wife's using the TV so I can't check :/) and it's rooted (came that way).

I was originally hoping that I could just share the external drive - from the MX III-G - and write directly to it from my PC (which is what I used to do with my old media player - WD TV Live) but I haven't been able to work out how to do this: would anyone know how to do this, please?

Alternatively, I could get by with just connecting to my PC - from the MX III-G - using Total Commander (as an example), and copying the files (videos, music, photos, etc.) to the external USB drive. I configured Total Commander on the MX III-G to connect to a share on my PC, but for some reason it can't copy files to the external USB (says it's unable to write the file). I couldn't see what was wrong - as a test, I created a new directory on the external USB drive, and that was fine: I then couldn't delete it, so it's clearly some kind of permissions issue. I changed permissions on the test directory to RWX for everything (777) but still couldn't delete the directory (btw - I granted Total Commander full access in SU). Can anyone suggest how to get this working, please?

I'm open to other suggestions of how to best get files to the MX III-G, but would prefer not to have to buy a NAS (otherwise I would have been better off just making a cheap PC, and installing Kodi on it).

Thanks,

Richard.

I am familiar with the permission issues when trying to use an external network drive i wish there was an easier way to map network drives on Android there are a few apps that do work but most don't grant the permissions required for read/write/delete most are just ftp clients. Samba seems to be the way to go if you're talking with windows machines i would try that or es explorer / ftp

But what i did was got a new router that had readyshare usb3.0 and setup the shares via the router kodi has no issues seeing the folders or accessing the drive i'm pretty sure it uses the samba protocol
