    Jynxbox Players - HD and Mini - Thanks to whoever sent them to me :)

    I have started this thread because someone (I have no idea who) shipped me the Jynxbox HD and the Jynxbox HD mini. Both are AMlogic M3 dual core devices.

    FYI, I believe they are rebranded Geniatech devices. In fact pretty sure of it as my HD box says "M3 Enjoy TV Box" and not Jynxbox. The mini was Jynxbox. There is not a LOT of info on these devices out on the web even though they have been out since late last year. So I am learning but it is not easy with very little info out there about them.

    I have been playing with them the last few days. I will have to just say this. The ROMs need a lot of work!

    Also nothing against AMlogic but they are simply not as fluid in use as RK3066 in general use. I am guessing this could be the ROM or just the processors and Mali GPU are not up to speed. BUT... I have AMlogic MX and M3 tablets and I know they can work well with some work.

    I do like many of the features in these ROMs! I also do not like all the bloatware! However they will run Ubuntu out of the box if you learn how to install it. That's kind of a plus for me!

    Anyway, stay tuned as I learn and play with these devices. I want to make some cleaned up and smoother ROMs. It just may take a little more time than it usually takes me on Rockchip devices.

    so both are single core... you can't really compare them to a dual core RK3066 (or the AML8726-MX).

    But something that can't be done on the RK3066 : Native XBMC hardware decoding under a linux buildroot.

    I took out the rk3066 hdmi stick from behind the tv to replace it with a single core AML8726-m3 stick on XBMC-LINUX and it is just the beast I was looking for.

          Any update Bob? I was considering getting one but don't see the value there except the XBMC
          multi channel audio.
