Nexbox Z68 remote control app and server?
Has anyone successfully used the rkremote control app with this box? Even with ehomemediacenter installed as system app and running the rkremote control app is unable to see the device. I also have cs968 in another room and that works perfectly.

EDIT: nevermind it did install the server on its own on the second run of the application on the Android phone and then it connected to the TV box. I don't like wukong too much though.Last edited by lzwfkv; 03-25-2016, 06:27.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like paid droidmote server-client is the only current option to fully control this device with a smartphone app.
My friend's MINIX Neo X8-H has something in it's firmware that automatically allows rkremote and google remote to connect to it. Maybe someone who knows how to disassemble firmware can look into this and port it for this device,
The youtube video below shows this working with Android TV remote app but I can confirm that it also works with RK remote app.:

So need to find out what is running on the MINIX box that enables this.Last edited by maccafan; 03-25-2016, 07:39.

Anyway rkremotecontrol server side should be included in ehomemediacenter that comes pre-installed with z68 stock firmware, the problem is it seems failing or it could require a specific version of rkremote control client.
We need a working ehomemediacenter apk or an rkremote control server apk extracted from a working rom of another device with similar hw and Android version.

I tried installing different versions of ehomemediacenter yesterday as system app and none of them worked as a remote app server. Maybe the remote server function is not working due to lollipop. I tried wukong but it's not for me but thanks very much for the suggestion.
I will read up a bit and try and see if I can discover what is in the Minix firmware that works..I think my friend's box is amlogic so I was surprised when rkremote app worked with it. It looks like there is something called an anymote protocol. There is playstore app called anybox which is supposed to act as a receiver. But the Google remote app is now deprecated so while it finds the box it does not pair.

The apps install successfully but do not execute. Must need a special UI, so gonna try to install all the apps named Zidoo and see what happens.

Finally had a chance to have another go at this. You need two files:
From the Zidoo X6 pro rom (OTA) extract the ZidooRc.apk file (system-->app--->ZidooRc folder within ROM zip) and install in the box. I wasn't able to open it or do anything maybe due to lack of corresponding UI. Restart the box.
I installed the one I got from the 1.0.22 OTA.zip from link below:
Model:ZIDOO_X6 Pro Version: v1.0.22 Changelog: System: 1.Add HDMI CEC RC function, the TV Sets that's with CEC function can control X6Pro box...
I understand there are further updates so don't know if there are any revisions to the server app which may not work with this box.
You can download the control app from link below: (This is for the phone/tablet and is confusingly called zidoo_rc.apk-note the underscore for the control app and not for the server app above)
Install the app on your phone and it found my box as rk3368_box and works.

I have used the server apk in the 1.0.27 ota image of zidoo x6 pro and it works the same, but probably it has not changed compared to the version in ota 1.0.22 because it dates 2014.
Greetings.
