    Finally bought a Tronsmart MK808B - how do I set up everything to get all the cool stuff ;P

    Just bought a MK808B from Geekbuying today. I opened it up and not sure whether it is a clone or not. So far I haven't had much luck with netflix (can't get a movie to get past loading and play), facebook works but is really slow, and can't get my phone to work as a remote so I just used a mouse with usb reciever but when I click on something like a link it just zooms in and out but doesn't click on it like it is suppose too.

    Been having some weird glitches and been messing around with it half the day and haven't gotten anywhere.

    How do I get xmbc on this device? What does MX Player do and how do i install that as well? What is ehomemedia center exactly?

    Just want to be able to get all the cool features of this unit so I can make the most of it so any and all help would be welcome for this noob. Thank you!

    There are various guides on the forum for installation of XBMC ect, I would look up SPMC as that is the best version... Truthfully however, nobody should be buying the mk808/b anymore as something like the CX 919 is now close in price and is a much nicer piece of hardware, you also don't have the hassle of poor Wifi, or the insane amount of clones.

    Unless something has changed in the time I have looked, you won't be able to run decent 1080p video at 1080p, so it's only really a 720p device. My mk808 which had an overclocked kernel to be able to view 1080p videos eventually died after a year - GPU gave up.

      I think the mk808b runs well. Install spmc and fusion.
