Whats the deal with ATV 10.4 and PlutoTV.

I running X96 Max Plus2

Worked fine before but now on 10.4 with PlutoTV 5.3.1-Leanback

I can not get the slimbox system bars and a popup notification to go away while plutoTV is running liveTV.

It just keeps poping up during live tv even when system bars set to auto hide. Pops back up again as soon as it trys to hide.

If i click the two white bars next to the power button on the bottom system bar they go away, but that is turning them off. Not sure what changed but on ATV v9 and 10.2 i did not have this issue.

EDIT: Not sure what happen but it working normal again.

I finished setting up kodi by restoring my Kodi backup. I had to pull the power plug to force close and restart kodi for the restore to take effect and after that the above issue was no longer present. I can not explain but all is well it seems. I had turned off notifications on Pluto TV and on Android core TV services maybe that required a reboot first before that took effect

Thanks. I've downloaded the apk with TVBro and then browsed through the files with X-plore app. However I can't find the file in the Downloads folder or anywhere else. Do you have any hints?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
I have no idea. Just put the apk on a USB drive and plug it in. Then use X-plore to install it.

Hello, I have a problem with disconnecting bluetooth. After installing slimbox bluetooth, the gamepad pairs, but after a few seconds it disconnects and the gamepad turns off, it is similar when connecting a phone, the connection is lost after a while.

I have x96 max plus. After returning to the original software, the problem persists. Anyone have a way for this?

Question: does anyone know why the slimbox firmware (v10.4 X3) will not load on the X99 MAX+, gets stuck on DRR 1%.

I have tried everything, hopefully someone can figure this out.....this firmware is great. Thanks

Hello and thanks for this ROM. I just got a Minix Neo U22 and I have seen that there is a version of this ROM, perhaps unofficial, here.

Can anyone tell me if the Android (not TV) version of this ROM includes:

* root support

* TWRP built-in

* control over the mcu that permits auto-booting without using the power button

Thanks

Hi Slim great rom and I found a slimbox 10.4 firmware for tx3 mini AP6330 on 4pda and the burning and everything else is working great except the remote control OK, Home, Menu and Back key doesn't work. I couldn't find any forum about your firmware and the tx3 mini AP6330 so its the only place I could ask.

Thanks

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pspablo:
Hello. Backing up the original software (STOCK) may help. In particular, you should back up the boot partition, bootlader using TWRP 3.4. When you do this, you upload SLIMBOX and then restart the temporary TWRP from which you recover the boot and bootloader from the flash drive backup. NOTE, it is very important that the path and name of the backup are as proposed by TWRP after uploading the new SLIMBOX software, because TWRP may not see the STOCK copy.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Cayo2290:
I am trying to install slimbox in my Beelink GT1mini-2 v204P0. I made sure that my tv box was supported before trying this. I am using USB Burning Tool V2.2.0 and installed the drivers too when I installed the USB Burning Tool. and I am using the .img file you share in the links named "sbx_gt1_mini_2_atv_v10_4.img" I am basically using all the files you share. and i am making sure to do all the process correctly.

I don’t know what am I doing wrong but nothing happens when I plug the usb to usb cable to my tv box pushing the reset button and already running usb burning tool, with the image selected and with the process started. I did it like this because I have seen a couple of video tutorials on youtube where people is installing slimbox in the gt1mini and gt1mini-2 and worked for them.

Just nothing happens, I just hear the sound in the pc when I plug the usb 2.0 into the tv box OTG port while pushing the reset button but not more happens, the process doesn’t start and now I don’t know what to do. Can someone help me or someone know what is happening? Maybe I have to use an older burning tool version? Or maybe an older slimbox version? has someone installed the latest Slimbox version 10.4 in a Beelink GT1Mini-2 correctly? (my english is not the best by the way)

Thanks for the help
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Atmans:
USB_Burning_Tool v 2.0.0 runs on GT1Mini probably also suitable for GT1Mini-2 Beelink boxes react differently to OTG

1). You connect the cable and it is visible immediately

2). Another needs to hold the reset button and connect the usb

3). My GT1Mini works for 3 seconds after plugging and then disconnects from USB_Burning_Tool

installation method:

a). run USB_Burning_Tool on pc

b). connect usb to pc add .img and set it as shown in the SLIMBOX instruction

c). once you've done everything hit "START" in USB_Burning_Tool

d). now connect the box and wait for the process to finish

e). do not use USB 3.0 for this purpose

A). If you have the https://www.widevine.com/ license, you will lose it by installing this firmware, but if you don't care about widevine it then SLIMBOX is a good choice.

Everything working fine (more or less) on x96 mx plus. Amazing work btw. (y):D

However i'm struggling on mounting shares (smb or nfs). I see a smb server but that's not what i want, i want a smb client that can mount the share like an sdcard so i can open my shares in every app. Would be amazing something like nvidia shield storage or something does but with the possibility of adding nfs shares also.

Another thing is the ViperFx stuff. Is it worthy? I don't see a difference in sound.

Hey, can anyone help ? I bought a x96max + S905x3 box sold as a 4/32gb and received it today . took it straight out of the box turned it on and saw the crap android 9 launcher and the crap stock firmware .

Went to flash @SlimHouse ATV rom for the X96max + it flashed OK and when I went to reboot , NOTHING , just a black screen .

On further inspection I opened the box up and the cheeky little fookers have only just sold me a box stamped on exterior 4/32gb , but the board and chip is a 2/16gb .

I don't know if I can recover from this .

If I leave the box on for 10 minutes the blue boot will come on but its not showing on the burntool. I've not even got recovery now . Any ideas , apart from a beermat or book stop? The box IP is showing up on Ethernet could I possibly install firmware from sdcard via telnet/putty ??

I'm usually an Allwinner/Amazon dude so maybe one of the guys familiar with amlogic could help .

Thanks in advance , and as always its greatly appreciated

hi there and thanks for reply i got it working by shorting the pins , well at least its showing in usb burn tool now , just trying to find the correct latest rom for the 2/16gb x96max +

###Edit ### Just flashed slimbox 2g version x96max + , its an absolutely stunning ROM , really smooth and quick , Is Magisk able to be flashed on this and could anyone tell me how ? I tried no dmverity and magisk from both slim twrp and twrp VIT 3.22 .......both no avail ...Bah. Anyway @SlimHouse thank you for your amazing ROM

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Bertonumber1:
Thank you for your response, unfortunately I had no way of backing up/restoring anything, I couldn't get twrp. I took it straight out of the box brand new, and tried to flash a rom meant for the 4/32gb edition of the X96max +. My box (even though stamped with 4/32 stickers) was only a 2/16gb and this caused a hard brick.

To solve the matter I had to short out pins and reinstall the amlogic driver then ran Slims rom through the tether in UBT.

I then patched the boot with magisk, flashed 21.3.zip and no dm verity and we have a fully working box now.

Thank you for your input, it's appreciated

Is there a way to install this rom without PC? i don't have an A to A usb cable nor do i have an sdcard, can i somehow install this with TWRP?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Bertonumber1:
Sure no problem first I flashed the slim 10.4 and then used slim recovery from USB to twrp flash boot partition of the rom with https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d0VNjGuwELn7ITrfkujnTtEwpSEqk2l6/view?usp=sharing (unzip and you'll have the files)

which patched the boot partition , without rebooting and staying in TWRP I then flashed 20.3 full zip and then no dm verity zip, and then booted into system os. Once I verified I had root I rebooted to twrp and flashed magisk 21.3.

edit : @pspablo check the below post for update if you require
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Bertonumber1:
hey i managed to root my x96max + last night with your old image , now i will Reflash with UBT and use this one.

Yourself or anyone else in the thread wouldn't happen to know how to change the bootanimation on 10.4?

While it was a good gesture in timing with the build release It's just not Xmas anymore.... The zip isn't in system/media were It normally is.

Jasne, że nie ma problemu, najpierw sflashowałem slim 10.4, a następnie użyłem Slim Recovery z USB na partycję rozruchową TWRP pamięci ROM z https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d0VNjGuwELn7ITrfkujnTtEwpSEqk2l6/view?usp=sharing (rozpakuj i ty będę mieć pliki)

który załatał partycję rozruchową, bez ponownego uruchamiania i pozostawania w TWRP, a następnie sflashowałem pełny zip 20.3, a następnie brak dm verity zip, a następnie uruchomiłem system operacyjny. Po sprawdzeniu, że mam root, uruchomiłem ponownie na twrp i sflashowałem Magisk 21.3.

Yaaiksss... i recently bought 2 x96 max + boxes when i saw how amazing the ATV interface looked.

Back to android, i thought... so i left libreelec thus being capable of running all the famous apps from our famous google-company.

Only.... not realizing that i was removing HDCP levels and Widevine L1... for streaming content apps.

Luckily i found a rom (through youtube) with a comment section about the licenses for HDCP...

But it stays that way, L3 and no HDCP abilities...

Are there any ways how to regain them? Even if i have say farewell to ATV and going back to the original FW?

Thx

With afrd the osd appears and i know to which fps i've changed. Is that osd setting hidden or something?

Hi,

Have any of you experienced problems with HDMI-CEC and Hibernate mode on Vontar X3?

On a Sony TV (KDL-40R470A), every time I turn off the TV, the TV box turns itself off but turns itself back on a few seconds later.

I tried to play with the different settings of the HDMI-CEC but nothing works. It only does it in Hibernate mode...

Unfortunately I could not test before if it worked with the original rom.

Could this be due to the fact that the firmware of the Vontar X3 in the SlimBox 10.4 version is not up to date (PPR1.180610.011/20200716).

The latest version at the moment is PPR1.180610.011/20201021.

Do you know any way to route the usb for audio playback or capture?

I use a dac usb audio, and a remote control with voice command.

I can't get both to work at the same time, I believe it is a limitation of android.

No just like all the rest they don't,, they pretend they do as a sales gimmick, I bought one advertised as 4/32gb it was only half that.

The thermals on my box were sitting at 71-74 degrees on the home screen with nothing on/playing I removed the big cast heatsink and glues a mini raspberry pi fan to where the heatsink/shield used to be, the thermal dropped by 35 degrees.

X96 Max+ 4/64 here. Widevine L3 confirmed in DRM app but no HDCP levels. Who cares!!!

I have no major problems with temps, sits at 50º in Android UI home menu, goes to 60º working or playing all kinds of videos, youtube, lan 4k videos etc. Playing Asphault at 1080p goes to 75º max. It's hard to make it drop to 50º again after going that high temp but its winter here. I know i will need a usb fan below it in the summer for sure.

Does anyone went the usb fan way and if yes where did u connect the usb fan? in the box usb 2.0 port or in a laptop or something near?

Tbh coreelec with usb 3.0 pen is always at 60º iddle and keeps ~63º playing videos. Not sure why, maybe bad temp reading or the fact it uses amlogic decoder and in android tv kodi uses mediacodec crap.

Yes, I only got this box a few days ago, factory firmware was terrible so I flashed slimbox. After modifying with active cooling, I'm also just noticing how crap the Internet speed is on the box, I have a 300mb connection on the fibre and the box shows on analiti, speedtest and ookla at around 14mb ps download and 3mb upload lol. Something ain't right. I'm too afraid to test ethernet.

Here is perhaps an idea for X96max plus users of putting a raspberry pi case fan inside the box without having to carve half the box away, secure with some strong adhesive.

Edit: Please ignore my bad gluing skills I only had b7000 glue and its stringy and messy
