OK Thanks. I see Its quite large and is older than the latest OEM.
Yes, I noticed OTA does not work any more.
I have updated and its running well, did not notice any changes or problems yet.

The latest version is working well: BB2-ota-20170420.145420.V0923.zip (post #14 for link)
It seems as if there may be some improvement in the storage management. Kodi 17.3 and 18.0 is compatible.
This comes from here: https://vntvbox.com/cap-nhat-firmwar...arshmallow-6-0

H264 bug?I think not.Just h264 avc dvb problem.
It use 50hz instead 25.000fps and rendering keyframe that so smooth.But sometime rendering was so choppy even jump frame,finally screen freeze audio keep voice...(phenomenon)

Finally,I tested this BB2-MHC19J-20160909.213003.V0701.img,problems has gone...Sovled!

[drdedus]

I have not tried this, but some have apparently installed this on the BB2:

I expect that the WIFI, Bluetooth and Remote may not work, but could not find any more info.
If anyone can add some comments here or try this, please report back.

Thanks!

Nope,just 6.0 and in my opinion 7.1 had compatibility problem and did not allow use awesomeplayer,so just stay on 6.0 better!
And wifi bt remote also ethernet works perfect but blue buttons(sorry,i never use that,not test),system stable and full function.
Flash method:i use USB_Burning_Tool because that file format was .img(Force earse and earse bootloader)
Have a good try,Good luck.
