Thanks for the heads up, I may give it a try.

Working great so far. Afrd is not included, but no problem, just download and install.

Using Kodi, all the audio codecs that I have tried are working, including the HD codecs. The Afrd changes the framerate to the correct framerate for the video being played.......

Have not tested the samba server, but will come in handy with the GS King X that has slots for 2 hard drives.

Can't wait to try! I think there is a patch for google play store (not all services?) Translations were a little confusing at brief glance.

[clarkss12]

The Play store work great right off the bat.

Seriously? Fail for me!

Was on a working 919P0. (faulty flash/ OTA removed by Beelink) Failed to flash Slimbox Pie v12.
USB Burn Tool v2.2.3.3
-Erase bootloader/Lowper/Identify/ Error result

Had to SD card to get free from 919P0
Sd card flash to 918P0

Tried Slimbox v12 again
-Erase bootloader/Lowper/Identify/ Error result


Deselected "Erase Bootloader"
-Romcode/Initialize DDR/Initialize PLL/USB Control setup error

Might try a SD card method ...maybe...
(Possibly not universal DDR memory for v12?)

I used Burning tool version 2.1.71. Imported the ATV version (beelink_gtking_pro_atv_v12.img) into the burning tool.
I clicked the start button on the tool.
Plugged in the power to the box.
Then connected one end of a homemade male to male USB cord into the OTG port on the box and the other end of the cable into a USB port on my Windows 10 PC.
The tool connected right away and installed the Slimbox ROM.......

USB Burn Tool v2.2.3.3

Where did you get that version of UBT? I'd double check Khadas Docs to see what they are currently using and they still recommend the version 2.2.0 for Windows, and being it is still good enough for them and their Dev boards, then no reason to use a newer version. The v2.2.0 works good for me, even though; I use the Linux install method more.

-Erase bootloader/Lowper/Identify/ Error result
-Romcode/Initialize DDR/Initialize PLL/USB Control setup error

A quirk I noticed with a difficult Amlogic box that was throwing Errors at me non-stop, was to hold the Reset button till the firmware gets to the burn System.img part of the process, about 10%, of course the Tool is pre-loaded firmware already and have clicked Start, so just plugged device in and hold reset button till the Tool gets past the point of rejecting the firmware.

I installed the ATV ROM while it was still in the test phase

1. There is Google play store for android TV
2. Auto Frame Rate still not included, but it will be ASAP

A new version of firmware will be released soon with AFR.

I did not have to use the reset button at all with this firmware.

Everything seems to be working well, EXCEPT the samba server.

I connected a 4TB external HDD, enabled the Samba server function, but the transfer rates is very, very slow. ONLY got about 10Mps transfer speed.

[ReaperMan]

I hate messing around with USB burn tool, downgrading has required(past) going into registry and deleting instances to fully downgrade. Will try; on some dokey computer or tablet laying around, your suggestions.

Was it discussed here or Kodi forums that Samba versions + Win 10 had turtle speeds?

I'm not a Samba user...you probably are more in the know.
