Kodi 18 on xiaomi laser projectors (wemax A300)

Hi

Did anyone succeeded to install kodi 18 ok xiaomi laser 4k projectors? I have the wemax A300 and is rooted

The 17.x release works fine but the 18 pops out after startup (I succeeded to install but not use it)

Any pointer / link for a viable .apk app file ?

[Android Software Development] iclems:
Hey guys! Joining the party here as I just got the international 1080p version. Super excited and love it. I worried about daylight contrast and it turns out the only minor inconvenience you get used to is fan noise (especially when it boots as it's easier to get used to with audio playing).

I have a few questions and some feedback. As a developer myself, I'm happy to try and help from now on!

1) I'm using it with an Apple TV connected for Netflix / Amazon. I'd be tempted to install those tools to boot on the Apple TV by default but I'm worried that today shutting down the Apple TV doesn't shutdown the projector. Do the tools help with that problem? (With my Android TV, the Apple TV effectively puts the TV to sleep).

2) Also, has anyone considered a solution that would enable a faster resume from sleep vs booting? My Sony Android TV is way faster to start except after updates where you can effectively see Android boot. But 99% of the time, Android doesn't completely shutdown.

3) Am I dreaming or is lip-sync always an issue with Android TV? I really wonder if it's just me and I have noticed that on my Sony Android TV as well using Molotov. When watching TV with Molotov on Android TVs, it always feels like lip-sync isn't perfect while it looks great using the wired Apple TV.

Thank you all again and happy watching!

Hi all,

just read and read again the thread...

I have FENGMI L176FCN https://www.xiaomitoday.com/xiaomi-f...-tv-projector/

Serial: ....

FINGERPRINT: Xiami/batman/batman:6.0.1/MHC19J/536:user/release-keys

CATEGORY:Projector

...

...

EMMCMANUFID: 17(TOSHIBA)

I have still some question:

Are the root and flash rom procedure compatible on my projector?

If yes:

after installing magisk do I have to do any WIPE?

About ROM

it's written "MJJGTYDS01FM (4k Chinese Xiaomi Mi Projector) [batman]" but my model il L176FCN [batman]

Which one should I have to flash?

MJJGTYDS01FM (4k Chinese Xiaomi Mi Projector) [batman]

Full rom 1.3.97 (6.0.1.312). Just extract to USB root and start recovery to flash. ONLY FOR MIJIA

Full rom 1.3.105 (6.0.1.494). Just extract to USB root and start recovery to flash

OTA [user] from 6.0.1.312 to 6.0.1.494 (1.3.97 to 1.3.105)

OTA [user] from 6.0.1.494 to 6.0.1.624(1.3.105 to 1.3.???) (Latest Stable - ONLY FOR MIJIA)

Thank you.

[Android Software Development] regis.larrode:
Hi. Thanks. Did you succeed using only remote control or you need both? The fire stick one looks like the xiaomi one as far as I can see
[Android Software Development] kawai.jolly:
Sorry

Sorry, i am a new android user,. I just want confirm the step.

1 root

2 flash batmen firmware

3 install 3nd party app( laucher,playstore)
[Android Software Development] minoltista:
Hi, just see post few above.

But it depends on which projector do you have.

M
[Android Software Development] minoltista:
Hi all, I answer myself to the first two question:

Yes is compatible, since it's written i page 1.

No wipe, since it's not written to do wipe.

But I still have a doubt about the rom I have to flash. My model is L176FCN [batman] while the rom is for MJJGTYDS01FM [batman]. More it divided by MIJA and not MIJA.

any help will be good also for other people.

Thank you

1- Not yet. I'll see if I can make something.

2- When the google services are installed, the android tv "screensaver" option can put your device to sleep. But : (1) it seems that sometimes, the option is reset, (2) when it wakes up, it seems like the projector sometimes loses the network access after a few minutes and the only option is to reboot it (I'm using rj45, so it's not a wifi issue). But don't hesitate to test and give your feedback.

3- Android has always suffered with audio latency, not sure how it can be fixed.

It should work. Please try another usb stick and make sure it's using Fat32.

No need to flash any firmware. Just follow the tutorial in the 1st post in "installation steps".

See my reply above. You don't need to flash anything. Just root, and then use the MiProjecTivy Tools to do the rest.

Keystone Correction on rooted A300

Hi

Just got an Wemax A300 and pondering whether to go through with the rooting process. Can anyone confirm if the keystone correction capability is still available on the rooted device and if I root the device and load the Netflix app from the playstore, will it support native 4K resolution?

TIA
[Android Software Development] minoltista:
Before rooting the projector I just wanted to try prime Amazon video app to check if it works on my fengmi.......just copied , installed and logged in...... It works!

Does it still work after rooting the system?

Does anyone already tried?

Thanks

M
[Android Software Development] doelski:
thanks spocky. i tried multiple and one of them worked! much appreciated
[Android Software Development] kawai.jolly:
Sorry, forgot

My projector is fengmi 4k
[Android Software Development] spocky12:
Keystone feature is not affected by root, it'll still work as before. But as explained in 2nd post, Netflix HD won't work due to drm missing. The only version (sd) working is available through MiProjecTivy Tools app.

Amazon Prime Video never worked for me even when not rooted (didn't test recently though). Could you please tell me which version you're using ?
[Android Software Development] minoltista:
Sure, let me return home.

This evening I'll update you.

[Android Software Development] baileybear:
Awesome - went through the process. Took a while as I had issues getting ADB to connect and had to dig out an old laptop but got there in the end. Was convinced I had bricked the device at one point as it became completely unresponsive, but pulling the power cable and rebooting and it came right.

Amazing job, spocky12!
[Android Software Development] minoltista:
Hi guys,

just performed root and Magisk! Everything seems went ok.

I can confirm [MENTION=848496]spocky12[/MENTION] that prime Video app works also on rooted projector.

Anyway I have 3 "bad" news:

1) When I try to install LeanBackelme Keyboard it say that is not available.....Download stops at 7%.

2) When I try to download ATV Launcher it seems that nothing happens......

3) When I go to change launcher I have Stock and Leanbacklme...select the second one and on screen appears:"Seems that an error occurred during the launcher(un)install".

Any help?

Thank you.

[Android Software Development] spocky12:
I couldn't get Amazon prime video to work either.

Concerning the translations in the settings menus, just flash the latest firmware OTA update.

As for the launcher, I'll publish a way to change it soon.
[Android Software Development] jordan79:

I've sent this email to Xiaomi, the marketing of Xiaomi related to the projector Laser 150 is really misleading.

Ho guys,

I bought the international version 2 days ago and i can't find a way to install netflix app.

It don't display in Google store.

I tried to install from .apk file, but no One works correct.

The latest version found on internet 6.1.x, it works half and half(can't navigate seems it would be for the touch screen versione)

Any idea???

Thanks

Aptoide TV appear me one of the best for wemax hardware compatibility. Install it, then search and installl netflix. Good luck
[Android Software Development] stevevalo:
How soon?
[Android Software Development] Tanmay®:
I finally got this today, specifically the international version.

A few things seem to be missing (other than 3D).

1. I'm not able to find any way to switch to HDMI 2.0. Due to this PS4 Pro doesn't run at 4K and ATV doesn't do HDR on 4K.

2. No way to set default option on startup to HDMI 3. It always shows the android home screen.

The above 2 seem very crucial features that are missing from the global version. If I missed out anything please help me out.

Edit:

Found solution to #1. (Hold down select while in hdmi input for more options).

Workaround to #2: Add nvidia shield as a remote to harmony hub and automate activity by adding in key combos. Works reliably since it's over bluetooth.
[Android Software Development] Minsektor:
can you tell me which netflix version works for you? do you use the international version or the chinese version?

i cant install any netflix application from aptoide tv except one, but that one just crashes with error "-13" on the netflix loadingscreen. (im using the international version)
[Android Software Development] rockpaperscissors:
For some reason first thing this morning, as soon as i got up before I even ate breakfast I had this uncontrollable urge to attempt installing GApps again following your method even though you clearly stated you had bootlooping issues. This time it did start to install and there was no "ERROR 64 Wrong architecture to set up GApps" like there was previously for me, so i see the "busybox --install -s /sbin" does work. It started installing and came up not enough space requirements or some error like that. While I'm a little confused about how much space this requires I'm more confused on why i would do this with such urgency first thing in the morning! Especially knowing it will probably cause bootloop issues! What is my problem!? :silly::laugh:
[Android Software Development] rockpaperscissors:
So ya, I tried the GApps ARM 6.0 tvstock version to try and change it up a little. Didn't work.
[Android Software Development] spocky12:
I had a few hours left between the late gift shopping and christmas eve cooking. So I compiled the current version of my Xiaomi Projector Tools app for everyone to test. For those with unrooted projector, I've also written a short tutorial to help disabling the stock launcher.

Check first post for more information.

Don't bother trying to fix it, I'll release a working version flashable with my app. Just need to polish it a little.

Soon™ ;)

Happy holidays to everyone !

Installed ''OTA [user] from 6.0.1.1074 to 6.0.1.1218 (1.3.97) (NEW)'' on my Wemax One and it actually put me back on an older version with absolutely no English. Luckily it asked me to upgrade which put me back right where I was LOL
[Android Software Development] rockpaperscissors:
Your Awesome Spocky12! Something to keep me going! I look forward to google play stuff! Merry Christmas! :cool::D

FYI The delete bloatware apps button gets rid of the "my apps" button on the home page and changes it to a "settings" only button after a reboot and I don't think there's anyway back. I had to reinstall firmware

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ----------

That's very odd. With all the messing around I do causing "bootloops" and such I had to load this at least 5 times and it worked every time. Are you going in FW order?
[Android Software Development] spocky12:
I can't understand how that's even possible... Which version was installed afterwards ?

Ah, sorry about that. I don't use stock launcher anymore, so I didn't really noticed. Why didn't you just replace the stock launcher with ATV ? Just install ATV 0.11 from the "3rd party apps" menu, verify it works fine, and then freeze stock launcher, ATV will totally replace it even from a fresh boot. If you change your mind, just unfreeze the stock launcher. I'll try to find out which freezed app causes the "my apps" to disappear, so that I don't freeze it from the bloatware button, but only in the stock launcher button.
[Android Software Development] Samckaz:
1.3.64 I think. Next time I'll snap some shots
[Android Software Development] rockpaperscissors:
No problem,,, Yes Unfortunately the first time messin around I didn't freeze stock launcher first. Which is an awesome option by the way.
[Android Software Development] Samckaz:
Edit
[Android Software Development] spocky12:
The "my apps" disappeared button has been fixed. You can safely choose to disable bloatware without any risk of being locked out of your apps drawer in stock launcher (you don't need to update the tools app, it's been taken care of remotely, so as long as you don't have a message telling you that the remote app listing can't be loaded, you can be confident it will work fine).

Time to celebrate ! :victory:
[Android Software Development] rockpaperscissors:
Wow! Talk about service.! I purposefully unfroze the stock launcher to test it. I have to say I felt a little nervous. I really didn't feel like starting over again. ;)

How about letin me beta test some google? I promise I wont hold it against ya if it don't work.:fingers-crossed:
[Android Software Development] Samckaz:
Please accept my apologies, it is working great on my Wemax one. I must have downloaded the wrong file. I am definitely seeing more settings in English. I am super excited for your upcoming launcher. Marry Christmas and thanks for everything

Hello spocky

With kodi 18 there is a netflix addon which has apparently widevine drm rights support . I tried to install kodi 18 and as you know after Leia version from 12 July 2018 kodi does not work on our batman xiaomi devices. I posted the /data/log file of kodi latest current install + 2 times start of kodi on kodi general / android support (reply to the thread with 'wemax' search keyword.

If we make kodi 18 latest release work then we could maybe get netflix to work too... at the mo.ent the addon refuses to start on my wemax a300 with a python 26 error from kodi window. But this is maybe due to kodi old 18 release alpha I'm using from july 11 2018. Not sure but I did not yet work on the error but you will find the log from kodi thread I case.

[Android Software Development] regis.larrode:
Fyi: Kodi latest release 18.5 from google play works as soon as a bluetooth headset is plugged! Same pb as with youtube last release . The pb with output audio sink seems to be the cause of the issue .

So I did try the netflix plugin for kodi but I received an error key pair exchange so I guess this plugin is not trusted by netflix either .. maybe I should an Amazon fire stick and plug it in the milaser projector..

6. mixplorer 6.31.12 its coming on error at aptoide

we can i create to use googleplay?

and very important!!! the usb stick was the problem that i can not install the magisk.

thanks you
[Android Software Development] spocky12:
Thanks for your feedback.

1- The server changed the mimetype for the apk files, and it didn't play well with the current install method. It'll be fixed in the next release.

2- Already reported, ther's an issue in the install app code that causes this error. It'll be fixed in next release.

3- Did you install the Google services from "install 3rd party apps" ? IF so, you need the freeze the stock launcher to use the leanback launcher.

Are you sure you're using the right twrp ? If so, please try with another FAT32 usb stick.

I don't understand the exact sense of your question concerning the Vava projector. While we're talking about it, I4d be really interested in getting the Vava projector firmware if it's available somewhere.

Thanks for looking into this issue. I've already mentionned it's the audio sink modifications that lead to the crashes we have, but I didn't go further. If you can find more about the crash, don't hesitate to share it here.

How exactly did you install the Google services. It's been tested extensively and the ones available in my tool are working just fine.

Concerning mixplorer, I suppose this version has been remove from aptoide. PRs are always welcome to update the apps list.
[Android Software Development] Minsektor:
can the international version be rooted? (i just can see you can't flash any roms on it) ive tried several usb sticks, everyone FAT32, i tried rainman, batman and zodiac twrp but it just boots into stock recovery... ?!

Netflix works but ugly

Hello

Gearbest has published an apk link for Netflix which works with my A300 xiaomi 4k:

https://www.gearbest.com/blog/how-to/how-to-install-and-play-netflix-on-xiaomi-mi-tv-44a4c4xpro-9335

The resolution is very low (so unusable on a videoproj) but at least this one works

If someone want to inspect the apk contents ...

NB: do not update the app from version 4.16.1 otherwise netflix will give you the usual error when playing content.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

I confirm also that amazon prime video works with version V3.0.260.53941 at least this one works , just need to be careful and uninstalling wrong version from the settings/ app menu and not from the icons / long press button.
[Android Software Development] servo386:
Speaking of Kodi, one of the main contributors to the android version, Fritsch, the author of the AMLogicOnly build of Krypton that is the only thing that has worked on our projectors, has been kind enough to provide a supposed new fix for our amlogic woes for in a Leia build. You can follow the convo here:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/16271

Unfortunately, I installed his fixed version just now and I got the same immediate crash to home screen as every other version of Leia. I wonder if others could try it out and see their results. Im not on a particularly new firmware so maybe it actually works for some of you.

here is the link: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/android/arm/kodi-20191209-c8f0e591-amldebug2-armeabi-v7a.apk

Report back if you can on the results of using this build of Kodi.

Can you go into more detail as to what you did and how you did it? What build? what do you mean "plugged in" and how did you do it (pair a bluetooth headset i imagine but Ive never actually done it with this device yet so I am curious to know the procedure).
[Android Software Development] regis.larrode:
Hi, yes kodi 18.5 works as long as you plug an external audio like my bluetooth headset bose qc35

(Go to your projector bluetooth menu and simply pair it )

Also the leia 18.x version prior to jul 12th 2018 works without this audio sink issue as mentioned already by others . Strangely, youtube latest release does the exact opposite : it stops working as soon as you switch on your bluetooth headset. I am not kidding. Let's hope hope xiaomi will release a new version of android tv for our laser projectors.. I have asked gearbest support will see.
