2015 Best Android Box for XBMC and x265? Help Appreciated.

[SlappyPete]

Hi guys. Sorry in advance if I'm in the wrong section. I'm looking to buy a new android tv box and would appreciate any help you guys can offer. What are some of the best new models for handling 1080p, XBMC, and x265 playback? I am seeing a bunch on **** that claim they are x265 capable but I am skeptical. I'd like to buy something that is supported in this community and has some dev support. A long range external wifi antenna would be nice as well. I am currently running a CX-919 with purexbmc rom. It handles everything well enough for me other than x265. I guess there no players capable of using hardware acceleration with x265 on this chip. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Personally I would look at either the MXIII-G or the GTQ (links in thread) if you prefer a luxury aluminium casing with an external antenna. These devices offer really good value at very reasonable prices. Most Freaktab customers appear to be very happy with their purchases.Take a look at this thread for more information, reviews and discount coupons etc.

Here is a link to the complete set of Antutu video test files which all play correctly on the MXIII-G as referred to in the xda review if you want to compare the h.265 capabilities against a more powerful device such as a notebook.
