It is very strange.
I use wifi all the time and have no problems.

What happens when you turn wifi on?
Does it turn off again or show a device to connect to?
Do you use 2.4 or 5Ghz wifi?
What wifi channel are you using?
Use a wifi channel under 11.

Most wifi problems are usually with the router not connecting.
When using ethernet, most people don't know how to set the 'lease' time in their router to not disconnect the ethernet after a certain time.
If set to 1 hour, it causes problems. It is best to set it to 10 or 24 hours to have no problems.
For wifi, always use a channel lower than 11 since Europe can use up to 13 and North America only to 11.
I set the highest wifi range to 11 in my ROM's so people in North America don't have problems.

You can also use the LeHome Assistant app in the Settings, it is quite a useful app.
It is a remote app for Android to control the tv box and to use your phone as a touch screen and gamepad for games.

The IR remote's menu button also comes in handy in apps like NTMC, MXPlayer or the stock video player.

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered, but is there a single Lollipop or MM rom for the NT-V6 that offers: 1. Netflix audio in sync; 2. Power management via remote (On-Off-Sleep); 3. Smooth A/V with Kodi?

I'm only able to achieve partial results with these 3 requirements, no matter what I try. Would reverting to Kit-Kat be a step back in terms of video quality?

Thank you!

With MM you will have Netflix audio in sync but not smooth Kodi.
With this LP ROM you will have smooth Kodi and Power on/off on Nagrace tv boxes with slight Netflix audio out of sync.
A solution is to set Android Display to 1080p@24hz and to set Display Options - Auto frame-rate - Video resolution priority
After half an hour, you can just pause Netflix and resume again and the audio should be better.

I will make a MM ROM at a later stage, but it is Chinese holidays until next week so I can't get any feedback or make discussions this week.

Thanks for the quick and full response, Mo, much appreciated. Yes, I've arrived at the same conclusions. I look forward to the day when you can turn your hand to an MM rom that offers all three!

For now, I'm using a custom rom for RKM devices on my NT-V6, modified with your latest resource.img. This gives me all three - Netflix in sync/power management via remote/smooth Kodi - but without your enhancements i.e selectable color space/4k resolution/various audio benefits (which I don't use). A compromise, but one with the functionality I need.

hi mo123.... thanks for the effort.
yes , no more (Pink screen on boot) issue.
still , the same hdmi display regression issue on boot and i noticed frequent stutters using kodi and mxplayer (as compared to your previous rom which plays perfectly)....
and also switching off the beelink R89 reboots it instead of turning it off.

Hi Mo also been testing out 7b rom .

1- no more boot issues or funny colored screens.Perfect!
2-I did notice though on NTMC when I started to watch something it would randomly reboot the box.This happened quite a few times.
3- the IR remote still has issues , sometimes it's missing actions and late last night it stopped responding altogether (Even with new batteries and in the darkness away from any kinda light)
4- the weather icon was displaying a completely different location from where I am lol (I do have location switched on)

Cheers Chris.

Can you give a link to some video that has stutters, if under 1GB to download it will help.
The Beelink uses different power settings, I did ask Beelink in the past to help me with code, but they weren't helpful.
The other display issue will be fixed soon. It should also be possible to make separate kernels for different resolutions users want as default, I will look into it.

[gridlock]

thanks mo123..... every mkv file on my external hard drive (usually above 4gb each).
even the (minimize black bars to 20%) on kodi video settings is showing different sizes of the minimized bars....
blessings bro.

2. You don't perhaps try to play vc1 videos?
Kodi has problems with it at the moment.
You can try SPMC and play the same videos, it will then crash and show a log link.
Here is the latest SPMC that I helped troubleshoot, it is useful if a video crashes, then it will make an automatic link to your logfile that you can share.

You can forward your logs to Koying on Kodi forum by PM or post in the SPMC thread in the Kodi forum.
Hopefully someone will be able to fix it soon.

3. You can try to use LeHome Assistant app in Android Settings to control your tv box by smartphone.
A TK617 airmouse works wonders and much better than the IR remote.
You can also try a Broadlink RM mini 3 and learn it the IR codes of the IR remote as well as your tv, sound system, aircon etc. that work with an IR remote and then use your smartphone to send the IR signal by wifi to the device and then it translates the wifi signal into the correct IR signal to send back to the tv box.
Both options will work out about $10, so very cheap and useful alternatives.

4. The weather uses Yahoo weather and your IP address, so if your ISP is in a different city it might not be 100% accurate.
There aren't GPS in a tv box so it is difficult to get one's position.
I did make a suggestion to let users choose their own city but think it will be difficult to add support to thousands of cities.
But I will hear if there is perhaps another solution or different weather app that can be integrated into the launcher.
You can try some different weather display websites that use your IP address to give you your weather information, if there is a more accurate one,
you can send me the website links and if they use free services and allow coders to access their weather API then those sites can perhaps be added to the launcher's weather display in the future.

Press 'o' on an airmouse or USB keyboard when one of these mkv videos play.
Take a screenshot of this screen showing the video information, there should be a screenshot icon in the statusbar, otherwise install a screenshot app.
I just want to check what codecs are used.
If you don't use pass-through, also try this SPMC and see if it has the same problem or plays better.

Hi mo , still the same with SPMC , tried playing a video on youtube but the box just blacked out and restarted itself.

What are the chances of maybe sprucing up Kitkat 1.7 rom ? For me that works brilliant , no lagging on the IR remote , just a few minor things that would need sorted :-)

When you flashed the firmware did you do a 'Erase Flash' and then an 'Upgrade'?
In Android, you can also try a factory reset.
Cleaning/Erasing the flash properly and then trying again might help.

I ill try to move to Marshmallow soon, so maybe that will help.

[Chris_Gee_]

Yeah I always erase the flash before applying the new rom , Ive went back to v1.7 Kitkat and that works great for my box , could we maybe have an update on that ? doesn't need much work ,just bringing up 2 date a little.
