Mk902 has 16G flash but seems no IR function
Google mk902 for review but couldn't find any
I wonder anybody has mk902 yet can throw some reviews?

flashing mode

hi, it seems i can't manage to flash any firmware, as soon as i hold for about 5 second the reset, windows detected a bad USB connection.. (windows 8) any advice?

[JDfense]

Windows named it 'bad usb connection'?
Never read a message like that. I would assume, you have either a bad usb cable or the drivers are not proper installed.

Droidmote

I just installed Droidmote server on my CR11s running the pre rooted qCloudNetGo 1080p 5mp ROM and client works like a charm on my HTC One. Does anyone know of a client that works well on iOS?

1080p playback issue

i flashed CR11S_cloudnetgo_ap6210_1080p_20131019_update to get the 1080p screen res, looks good, but
cant play smoothly 1080p videos. I installed justxmbc.apk and tried playing the videos, its not smooth with default player, tried playing the file separately with mxplayer, wrked fine.

just want check, what you guys use(xmbc) to play 1080p videos with the 1080p firmware.

what build prop tweaks you use to make the youtube videos play smoothly ?. i see buffering kinda issues with both 720p and 1080p streams. can you paste the tweaks here ?

on youtube player, can we select the res of the video ?. when i use my laptop to play vidoes, i get an icon to set/chosse the resolution to play.

I believe the MX Player is the best for playing 1080p video playback, you can also use the special codecs from the XDA forum ... Their is direct link on the MX Player to the XDA-Developers Forum to download the special codecs ... As far as YouTube is concern use the Google TV version for streaming HD video/movies, you will find your experience much better ...
