After the update we have notification bar but no navigation bar.
With a navigation bar downloaded from Play store the recent app button is working now after the update, but I have not find yet tge proper navigation bar.

Another great issue is that the internet radio from any browser it does not work well.
They start and the stop after 10sec.
I noticed this issue not only in bb2.
Why this happening and how we can fix it.

Should be OTA update today:

Add DDRand Flash capacity display
Add system navigation bar(Statusbar), turn on/off in settings-Display-Statusbar
Updated KODI(KODI 17.0-Beta3)
Deleted the infeasible add-on(photo app) in KODI

Ota update work very well, this box is good.All I did was improved cooling...now compare to Beelink GT1 ( who I also own)...this is a much better and more serious device and done with good software support ...
so far
Mecool BB2 1 : Beelink GT1 0

After new update the box is still full of bugs (no x265 10bit reproduction) and very slow 4K (unusable) in Kodi.
Anyone got a good Firmware with Kodi fully usable on this box?

New OTA...

[tomsag]

Plays x265 (and 10bit) but ist not capable to reproduce 4K HDR (65mbit+) files. Still has to improve.

[tomsag]

[gardius]

I`m running Kodi 16.1,the latest update make the preloaded kodi to work very slow .

another review here http://mediaplayers.gr/mecool-bb2/
Looks like it is very good except the KODI 17 issues.
Any major issues left after the latest fw ? 4k playback aside.

I`m running Kodi 16.1,the latest update make the preloaded kodi to work very slow .

Where did you get this 16.1 Kodi apk?

[gardius]

I think Thomsag you missunderstand me,I wrote about Kodi 17b3 that come with the latest firmware wich is very slow ,have to wait very much to load the movies from more repository.With Kodi 16.1 from official site all it`s ok,same repository are running quickly.

No, everything was understood - and you now gve me the answer - you have installed the Official Kodi 16.1 from their website. That's what I needed to know. Thank you.

Are their even any working Krypton Repositories? Super Repo seems to have one, though nothing at the moment installs though it. I'm chalking it down to Krypton still being in Beta. But TBH I'm less then impressed with the new skin. If I were a cynic I'd say they made it that way on purpose, to make browsing your Add-ons an even bigger PitA.

What I'd like to see is a filter where, One could have just the Movie & TV Add-ons (e.g. Ice Films, etc), another for all my Anime, another for News... Etc.. That would be really useful IMHO. But, when the time finally comes to update, I'll still be using the old Confluence Skin. Out of all the possible Kodi Skins, I've yet to find One that rivals it in its shear simplicity. Though IIRC, I wasn't very keen on it either, at first. But, that was 'cause I was a fan of the old XBOX era Skin.
