oh i saw the site is down again
[Device Reviews and Information] JasperHiaJay:
Thanks for all the effort on this amazing project, but atm it's not a replacement for my libreelec os due to the performance issues.

I have exactly the same issues playing 1080p content on my NUC DN2820FYK. It has a dual core 2.16 GHz celeron with 4gb inside. Android is installed on a SSD. I have noticed the same on other apps as well, although (only) VLC is performing a bit better. When looking at Kodi I see a significant higher CPU usage with some heavy spikes compared to Libreelec.

Minor issue is that I can't get the onboard CIR to work.

I really hope you can tackle the performance issues as I'm impressed by the features! If I can assist with supplying more info or logs just let me know!

[Device Reviews and Information] kabugyei:
Thanks so much for all your effort. The update is working great. The only problem I have is when I connect my HDMI to my TV, the picture doesn't show on the TV screen, it still shows on the PC. I have to reboot the pc and on the grub menu choose the video=LVDS-1:d option and enter exit 2 times before it can show on the TV screen. I have to do this everytime I reboot the PC. Is there a permanent solution to this?

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

Reboot your pc and on the grub menu select the video=LVDS-1:d option, and type exit, press enter on the keypad, type exit again and press enter on the keypad again. It should display on the tv screen.
[Device Reviews and Information] NoOoИ:
Thanks man it worked?

And another question

Is there any way to connect something via Bluetooth?

Cause i tried headphones, speakers and gamepad and nothing works...

Will be nice to use Android tv voiceover via wireless headphones?

YouTube TV does not work. It throws errors every time I try to play something, whether it is live TV or previously recorded content. I suspect it has to do with codecs because the ads play just fine. I am on v1.1.2 if that helps.

Hello! Many thanks for the work done! I apologize for the English beforehand. I read the entire forum, but there are some difficulties. I want to install your build on my mini-PC: Intel Atom D425 1800MHz nVidia ion2 GT218 While the problem is normal - black screen after the rotating circle. I tried to boot from the GRUB menu line (Debug video = LDVS-1: d)

But the fact is that I can not install the update 1.1.2-20181206 downloaded from here: 185.7.66.140]

The flash drive is formatted in fat32, the downloaded file is copied to it, then I go to TWRP recovery, then INSTALL, select the file on the USB flash drive, try to check the signature check box and so on.

Ends with an error:

Process endet with signal: 4

Error

Tell me please what am I doing wrong?

I really want to enjoy your work! Thank you!

[Device Reviews and Information] CrYoGeNiC6977:
I have 3 different mini pcs ( Dell OptiPlex 7020, 9020, can’t remember the other.). I have no issues with the oldest model. The other 2 gives me problems. The 2nd gets YouTube and app errors and it not functional. The third is no video.

I think this is all related to the chipset in the machines. I hope the 2 other Dells I have will be able to useful with future updates.

[MENTION=3385560]TOSanthony[/MENTION],

Would proving the chipset/specs for these models help you at all?

netflix tv stuff

hi Anthony

i have been looking into the Netflix issue and the problem has to do with what Netflix is looking for

Netflix gives the error ui-800-3, which after looking on their help center; says "the information stored on your device that needs to be refreshed" (whatever that means)

however, i did some digging and found out that it's a hardware problem (i can't find the original source so i can link to it, it may have been taken down), it's looking for something (either a software or hardware chip thing) and can't find it and without it it "fails" to start

it may be possible to find out what it is and trick it into thinking that it's the real thing and allow the TV Netflix to work

all we have to do is figure out what it is...

if someone can document what Netflix is calling (both hardware and software) and put it up here, we may be able to find it and figure out how to spoof it so we can get it working because i hate the normal Netflix app as it is poorly designed, i prefer the Android TV one...
[Device Reviews and Information] SUPNYUS:
Hello,

When I go to TWRP and update from 1.0.0 to 1.1.2, the update is stuck everytime at "installing system...". What could I do to resolve this problem ?

but it will pass after 30 min 1h

[Device Reviews and Information] hankfrennig:
Gateway SX2850

got everything installed, updated via TWRP, booted & running... to setup screen.

there is no on-board or PCI (express or otherwise) WiFi capability with this PC. a dependable USB WiFi adapter does not provide wireless signal.

at a standstill at setup screen, though things seem to be booting quickly and fluidly & working (though "set up with another Android device" crashes?)

running build off of bootable SD slot w/ 16GB Sandisk microSDHC, no 3rd party hardware installed, wired USB keyboard&mouse

any ideas???
[Device Reviews and Information] indiocochino:
Fisrt of all, thank you for the development of this port.

I was using a Sony Vaio Z with Windows 7 with Kodi, but I was missing some Android apps..

Everything is working for the moment but I still having issues with HDMI.

Tried Grub option and edit kernel line with video=LVDS... but HDMI image output still not working.

Do you know what could I try toa solve the issue?
[Device Reviews and Information] samiscool51:
sometimes it takes even longer if your drive isn't fast, i have had it take up to a day, just be patient, if it fails it will tell you

---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

HDMI has always been a pain with this OS, try flashing the latest update (located here: http://185.7.66.140/ and by clicking on updates and downloading the latest one) and see if that works as the latest update has fixed some video issues

whats your GPU, Android x86 (what this is based on) has always had trouble with GPU support and knowing what it is may help solve your issue

all of you keep in mind that Android TV x86 was designed for the MSI Cubi Core with an i3 broadwell cpu

it will have problems with our setups as we don't have the same components as the Cubi, we may have simamer components but that can't guarantee working system

there is not much we can do unless we help in the development by reporting bugs/problems/crashes and also help solve them so others won't experience them

this is what happens when working with a unstable/buggy OS
[Device Reviews and Information] indiocochino:
Already updated to last 1.1.2 version.

I also tried Android x86 (8.1) and same problem so should be something related with Vaio internal gpu incompatibility.

I will try Remix OS and Phoenix OS for a last chance.
[Device Reviews and Information] samiscool51:
the lastest version of 8.1 (rc1) has got better GPU support, if you havnt tried that version download it ( http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-8-1-rc1 ) and see if it works, one of the notes

says that they have updated the OpenGL software render to work with unsupported GPU's, yours may work now thanks to this update

only downside is our Android x86 TV won't get it but try it anyway
[Device Reviews and Information] indiocochino:
Same situation with Android X86 8.1 RC1...I will need to come back to the boring Windows...:(

Anyway...thanks for the support!
[Device Reviews and Information] TOSanthony:
Try with this option in GRUB:

video=1920x1080 video=HDMI-A-1:d

video=1920x1080 video=eDP-1:d

You can add multiple command ex:

video=1920x1080 video=HDMI-1:d video=LVDS:d

hey how are you

is the oreo version will come out ?

Hi, that's fine thank you, the version oreo is not planned for the moment, still too much bug for everyday use.
[Device Reviews and Information] mstrolo:
oh i see

do you have any idea why its not working on a dual core pc?

i was able to install android x86 but only the 32 bit version
[Device Reviews and Information] mody737:
All updates?

Needs to apply all updates?
[Device Reviews and Information] TOSanthony:
Because your cpu is only 32bits.

Android TV x86 is only 32 bits kernel.

[Device Reviews and Information] Abdulla060:
So does that mean to skip all the files and jump directly to the last update?
[Device Reviews and Information] DiogoSilva48:
Yes
[Device Reviews and Information] samiscool51:
the computer i am using it on is a dual core (with 2 threads but that doesn't matter) your system is most likely 32 bit only, Android TV x86 is 64 bit only, you need a newer processor that is 64 bit, every modern CPU from 2010 and on wards is 64 bit and software is ditching the 32 bit architecture as it is limiting and can no longer handle today's workloads needed by many consumers.

if you have a newer computer (that isn't used for anything important!!!!!) that is 64 bit and also has 4GB of RAM and also a supported GPU then use that

the GPU bit is a hit or miss, it may or may not work, i couldn't get Android x86 working on my test device until an update added support for it

your mileage will vary but any problem you may face we can help with, just post about it and someone should help you...

my bluetooth doesn't work but my wireless does, your card isn't a supported one (i think the ones that work are some intel ones)

actually, hey [MENTION=3385560]TOSanthony[/MENTION] what wireless cards does Android TV x86 support? this would be a good thing to add to the OP for people who aren't using it on the MSI Cubi Core but still want to use it and have wireless and Bluetooth functionality.
[Device Reviews and Information] TOSanthony:
Wrong,

Dual-core doesn't necessarily mean that it supports 32 AND 64 bit. There were plenty of dual-core processors that were 32-bit only (the old Core Duo series for example, before Core 2 Duo).
[Device Reviews and Information] TOSanthony:
My wireless card is M.2: BCM94352Z
[Device Reviews and Information] TOSanthony:
I think it need bt firmware, what is the chipset inside ?
[Device Reviews and Information] samiscool51:
thats the Broadcom BCM94352Z M.2 NGFF , most laptops and desktops use a intel based wireless chipset

from memory Android x86 supports most intel wireless chipsets (mine included, the intel dual band wireless AC 7260 , a common wireless chipset found on laptops) with Bluetooth to boot from 7.0 and up

so my only question is why doesn't it see the bluetooth but the wireless....

i will boot into ubuntu 18.04 and do some testing...
[Device Reviews and Information] TOSanthony:
yes it is this chipset, my cubi was delivered with this chipset intel.

Boot in debug mode and tell me if Android not find bt firmware like this:

iwlwifi-7260-17.ucode
[Device Reviews and Information] samiscool51:
i didn't find anything like that (you really didn't give me much of an idea where in the start up log it may be found but hey i got better news) but i was looking on the debian wiki and stumbled apon this command

i typed it into the terminal and booted into Android TV x86 and my phone was able to find it, before it couldn't see it, fortunately it couldn't connect and the "add accessory" option in settings still is stuck on finding something as if the command did nothing...

i rebooted to check if the fix would stay but it didn't work, it looks like the module is failing to load on start up for some reason

does the OS have some failsafes implemented so it will try again if it failed the first time? it may be a good thing to add into the next update, and if it fails 3 or so times, it pauses to tell the user something went wrong and boots into the terminal for the user to fix said problem

EXTREAMLY EXELENT NEWS!!! (hopefully)

in this message board here they talk about what Netflix uses, specifically PlayReady DRM and/or WildVine DRM https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-platform/OX2a3Z2jtf8

after looking there a user called "tft" thinks Netflix may install it's own PlayReady DRM and/or WildVine DRM library and due to how we may have configured Android TV x86, it may not be able to as some things on our Android TV are different than a official Android TV [MENTION=3385560]TOSanthony[/MENTION] how is our version of Android TV different from one you may get on the nexus player? one of our changes may be preventing Netflix from working and if we can fix that Netflix may start working

-native Hulu app does not play video (same recurring error, cannot recall the flag code) nor does sideloaded Hulu app (tried several versions, even old, old iteration)

-Hulu LiveTV is not supported by AndroidTV (?!!? apparently this is a huge consumer community gripe) ...will AndroidTV x86 Oreo address this, as some Samsung Android TVs support Hulu LiveTV?

-evidence of Amazon+Roku "partnership" : is there no PrimeVideo available for AndroidTV? sideloaded PrimeVideo app to no avail

in lieu of these issues...

-Spotify works fine, no issues

-Plex works incredibly well, wonderfully responsive

-system home screen editing and suggestions function well

-YouTube connects, streams, and syncs as it should

HUGE THANKS TO THE DEV FOR DEDICATED WORK

any ideas/input about Hulu on AndroidTV are appreciated
[Device Reviews and Information] samiscool51:
i believe hulu is doing the same thing as Netflix in regards to DRM, if we can get Netflix working then hulu should work but Netflix is more of a priority at this current point as it's tougher to get working, many use and want it, and if we can get to work we should be able to apply what we have learned from Netflix to other apps
[Device Reviews and Information] TOSanthony:
It' s the same framework, apps and priv-apps
[Device Reviews and Information] samiscool51:
then it should work... but it doesn't, something about our config is not allowing it to work, thats why i asked if something was different, one of your changes may have broken Netflix compatibility without you knowing.

Netflix didn't work on Android x86 until an update added support, i did some googling on how this was done and some people say that the native bridge was enabled and root was disabled and Netflix started working for them. maybe something like this could be applied?

also the 1.1.4 didn't fix the Bluetooth problem, i had to use my modprobe command hack thing to fix it but after that it did allow my phone to connect to it but fails to keep the connection, and the "searching for devices" thing is still there but it's more of a visual problem than a actual problem. it could be solved by having a list of available devices to connect up to while it is searching for some, this would allow easy pairing of controllers and other devices . it could also solve the visual problem

On Android tv, bt is only for remote or gamepad connection i think.
