Tronsmart ROM

Hi

Why did you flash the Tronsmart ROM? What are its advantages? Where can I find download link to latest version and install instructions?

Thanks

hI, im looking for a way to change default apps in remote buttons "web music etc.". Theses buttons are colored on the remote (near power off / on) im on last version 5.1.1

Can this box stream from a Windows 10 PC? All my files are on my main computer and I don't intend to move them, I just need this little box to be able to connect to the computer and play over the Wi-Fi network. Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] 400ixl:
Provided you have shared the folder then yes you can map to it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerzyjerzy:
You have to share the folder in Windows, but also use an application that supports accessing Samba (Windows) network shares, like Kodi.

Kodi has this option built-in.

In other video or audio applications you may have to additionally mount the media folder in Android, otherwise you will not be able to access it.

Hi guys!

This little box is quite awesome :) I have only one unsolved thing..

I am using harmony one remote control. I can turn on box as part of activity (tv,box and reciever) but... I cannot turn It off cause when shutdown command is sent only popup menu "suspend" and "power off" is shown. Meanwhile tv and reciever are properly turned off and box is still on.

Any solution? Tnx

Thank you.

I have 2 more quick questions before I buy it, I am just getting into these Android TV boxes:

1. Does this box have any image quality issues playing videos at 29.97 FPS ?

2. Is this the box to get for network streaming and Youtube? If there is anything with better hardware and slightly more future proof, I wouldn't mind spending a bit more but only if it is worth it.

Thanks.

Anyone figure this out? I don't want to install openelec, just want to shut this off with a one button solution. Is there any ways to make this happen by modifying the remote.conf file?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] silicij:
[MENTION=5791899]junkyj[/MENTION] excatly my point. I was asking the same. With Logitech harmony does not work either.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerzyjerzy:
Is there a reason you want to shut it off at all? It uses so little current when not active that shutting it off is a waste of time.

I keep mine always on.

Mine has no problems whatsoever with both, but a lot depends on your connection throughput (both local and internet).

I use 1Gb network and 60Mb internet connection.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] franckb:
Hi,

did you change default remote button application ? (videos, web, apps, etc. colored buttons)

On my harmony, i remove action power off, in power off sequence.

the electric consumption is really small with this kind of box
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] silicij:
[MENTION=7210905]franckb[/MENTION] Hi. No I did not changed default remote button app, cause I need howto :)

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] junkyj:
It's the data consumption that bothers me. It also makes using this with a universal remote like a Harmony painful. I guess the other solution would be to get it to go to sleep after a certain amount of time of no use? I just don't understand why this has such a complicated off process when all my other media boxes just shut off?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerzyjerzy:
I actually still do not understand your issue here.

I mean, I can understand someone's irritation when the device does not want to behave EXACTLY like we want. I spend days sometimes, trying to fix a little Android, computer, router or NAS problem, no matter how little.

But what is the problem with the Android box being on all the time? What data consumption are we talking about? Application updates, Facebook, Skype, e-mail? There are plenty of applications that allow to control all of these.

I use a Harmony 650 remote, my MXIII is always on, and I do not have any problems with it. (And I did not switch off my previous TV box either, even though I could.)

You can set up a Harmony macro to switch your Android off, or use an automation app (like Tasker, Llama, Locale, Automate, etc.) to do it for you, but what is the point? Why is it necessary?

NTSC Composite AV Out

Can anyone verify the AV Out composite video works on an American NTSC TV/device? I've heard it may be locked to PAL with no obvious way to select otherwise. Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ikapux:
My MXIII-G box arrived yesterday. The AV Cable is missing. The unboxing video above doesn't show any AV Cable. Should this review be corrected?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] fain2daniel:
It's just hdmi cable and power adapter that comes with.

Sent from my D6603
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] franckb:
You right. With macro set on harmony, it can.

About 650 remote; i have problem than my harmony auto repeat to fast, if i strike a remote button...

if i do "back", then if i dont make it fast, then there are 2 "back"...

i set MBOX MXIII in harmony software.

Edit : i see response on other forum "You need to decrease the Repeats for your TV, go to the Device tab in the software, select your TV, select Troubleshoot, select device responds too much or only occasionally, then lower the repeats."

i ll test tonight
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ccbrianf:
There is no AV cable expected, but do you have one, and could you test NTSC please?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ikapux:
I have one, and I've tested it. Works just fine. PAL, though, I'm in Europe
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] istvanjankovics:

480i output?

In the settings menu under display, do you have a HDMI auto-detection option that can be disabled? If so, is there also an HDMI output mode setting, and what options are there in the list? Is there a 480i option? Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] dakok:
MXIII-G is alive again. It was dead for a month or so and I decided today to record a video

of the malfunction as a proof for the complaint at seller.

I recorded the video where I plug in the charger and nothing happens when I push the box power button.

While preparing the clip for upload I noticed it was rather big (>200MB) and I switched to 720p in

my phone video recorder settings.

I started the same scene again but this time the LED turned red and then blue.

I connected HDMI to TV and everything was OK. The only change was that it revert to factory settings (date was January. 01. ...).

I switched it off and on several times, plugged it from socket and tried several other sockets and no problems

whatsoever now.

Checked the charger voltage - it's 5.16V as it was before.

What have happened? Anyone?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] gaarared23:
Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my mxiii-g. I have it for a couple of months now and it has been working perfectly. However, from two weeks now I'm having buffer problems when watching 720p and 1080p streams. I know it's not a problem either of internet as I have >40mbs in the box and the stream because it works fine on my laptop. I have tried several settings on the advancedsettings.xml file but none of them seems to work. Anyone having the same problem or knows the solution for this? I have tried to clear the cache of both kodi and the system but it does not solve the issue.

To be more concrete, the problem is not only of buffering. This is, sometimes the video appears to be working normally but there are times where its velocity increases, which seems to me that it's trying to "catching" the original stream. Not sure if what I wrote makes sense, though.

Solutions? Cheers!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] JamesRC:
I'm still thinking about one of these devices. I'd love a SHIELD but they are expensive and don't properly support Amazon Prime video.

I like the sound of this box because I understand it supports ALL UK catchup services +Netflix +NowTV +Amazon video by being a normal android box, rather than Android TV. The downside is that the interface is not built for remote use... making it hard to navigate in Netflix for example. Is this a major problem? I can't find any videos to see the Netflix interface, but I'd buy a mouse/air mouse if that'd make it easier. Are there any other major drawbacks?

Appreciate any input.

Cheers
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] sedj:
I have this box and would recommend at its price point, its fast enough runs Kodi well and having fast ethernet port gives me 65meg down speed on plusnet fibre which is better than wifi on my last android stick. The remote it comes with would be ok for kodi/netflix but after reading how crap it is i never used it and got an air mouse from ebay, i actually ended up buying two as i was so impressed how quickly it came from china to the uk (10 days). Works great and fits the hand nicely, there are ones with keyboards on the back but just wanted as simple and uncluttered as possible.

What remote is everyone using? I tried the Mygica but it's sluggish
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] rhtizzy:
Logitech Harmony ultimate one icw Droidmote app
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerzyjerzy:
In my experience, all air mice are sluggish. Or, maybe rather they have a different feel than a regular mouse, less precise.

On the bright side - you get used to it, and after some time it starts to feel more natural and familiar.

Also, if you use just Kodi, it is much easier to use just a button remote, especially a programmable one, like Logitech Harmony.

I use Logitech Harmony 650.

boot problem

Hi guys and girls.

Can someone help me?

Got my box just yesterday from gearbest EU Warehouse and it gives me a lot of problems. I can't even get it to work.

On the first connection to TV it gave me only the red led so after tricking with it for about 30 min and resetting my TV to factory settings, it finally lights blue light and boot up. Happy with teh effect I set up the language and all the options and restarted it.

And again red light, no turning blue :( .

I tried everything different HDMI ports, a couple of sockets and different cables but no go, it just locks on this red led of dead.

Any suggestions ?

THANKS IN ADVANCE
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xalaros10:
I have not managed to get multichannel sound Dolby Digital 5.1 with MXIII-G TV Box via Kodi.

The box is connected via HDMI cable with Sony TV HD Ready and with optical digital cable with amplifier AC3 Yamaha (don't support DTS) in system 5.1

In settings of TV Box I have choose "sounds-Digital sounds-SPDIF".

In Kodi I have choose in settings of sound, Number of channels 5.1 (although 2.0 tried nothing changed), Enable passthrough and Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver.

From amplifier I have no sound when I try to play a movie Dolby Digital 5.1 and if I increase volume level from TV sounds "trrrrrrrrr".

Can anyone help me?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerzyjerzy:
I can confirm that the MXIII-G plays multichannel 5.1 sound through the optical cable from Kodi, or any other audio/video player.

Check first whether your box sends ANY signal through the optical output, i.e. not with Kodi, but with any music player. It is possible that the socket is dead. Or the cable. Do you see red light emitted at the socket and at the other end of the cable?

Switch sound sources in Android settings a couple of times.

Set up Kodi only if you can get sound in your amplifier from the other Android app.

Secondly, maybe the file you try to play is incorrectly encoded? Try other files first.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

Try it with another TV first.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] rhtizzy:
I only got 5.1 over optical if I had the mxiii volume on max
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bluesjunkie:
Just checked at another TV. No signal no nothing. Can it be faulty hdmi port on player side? Maybe something with an AC adapter? How can i check this?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerzyjerzy:
The box goes to sleep automatically when it doesn't get any signal from TV through HDMI. So it is possible that the port is faulty because your box' behavior is not normal. I would return/exchange it if possible, or take it to a repair shop if it doesn't have a warranty.

There are ways to keep Android awake all the time but then you may have problems waking it up every time after switching it off or restarting.

What are the settings, manufacturer, device, etc. you use when configuring the Harmony, please? I have a 350, which should have the same list of devices.

Thanks,

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerzyjerzy:
About the Harmony remote, it is explained by john_matrix in the post 44 in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62619644&postcount=44): "If you want to have the same buttons (as the original MXIII), you have to specify MBX as manufacturer and MXIII as device. If you want more buttons, you have to specify PIVOS as manufacturer and XIOS DS as device, but you have to copy the attached remote.conf (inside the .rar file) in /system/etc/ (make a backup or rename the existing remote.conf) and reboot your box."

I recommend PIVOS settings, they add many very useful buttons to the remote without a need for adding them manually in config files.

Please note, that there are explanations in the remote.conf file, that can help you to set up additional customizations.

IMPORTANT: If you edit any of these files (Vendor_0001_Product_0001.kl, remote.conf, keyboard.xml) you must update their access rights (R-W-X) to match the previous state, otherwise you will have problems with the remote.

I also used the Keymap add-on for Kodi to add and change some Kodi commands, but it would require the whole tutorial to explain in any detail.

You can experiment :p

I have another question (unrelated to audio). is the version of kodi that's pre-installed customized in any way? (remote.conf for example)... or would the latest and greatest from kodi site or playstore be the way to go?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerzyjerzy:
There were some add-ons installed that were not a part of the plain Kodi installation (basically Genesis and such), but I do not think that Kodi interface itself was customized in any way.

I cannot help you much here because I use a heavily customized Kodi version on my box, and I cannot check what was in the original ROM anymore.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] red-i:
thanks :) i guess my question is, did you just wipe out what was on there and do a fresh install from play store/kodi site and go from there?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jerzyjerzy:
As far as I remember (it was a couple of months ago), Play Store did not recognise Kodi installation as valid, and I had to uninstall it and install the Play Store version from a scratch.
