Why do you need exactly to connect the drive to your computer, just to add files?
The tv box is also like a computer. You can also download any sort of files through that directly at your drive.

If the playback is still problematic after you connect your drive to the box, then it means that there is something wrong with your setup.
There are absolutely no issues with any videos or other tasks that I have tried.

Yes, I'm constantly adding or removing video files from the drive, so I don't want to have to disconnect it from the box, connect to my computer, add/remove, then reconnect to the box every time I do this. When it's connected to my router, I just connect to the drive via WiFi from my laptop and do whatever I want, it works great. I realize I can download things on the box, but that would be MUCH less practical -- I have my computer set up to auto-download shows I want to watch, etc., and do all the organizing there. This would be much more complicated on the box, with the TV set as a monitor and without a real keyboard (we really just use the box to watch videos). So I'm dependent on my laptop-based setup, and just want to use the box to watch videos I transfer over to the router-connected hard drive.

I realize something must be wrong with the setup, as it's not logical that a lesser android box plays videos smoothly (for the most part), whereas this "supercharged" box stutters along with most video files... I just don't know what can be wrong with it, the box is brand new, and even after a factory reset. Other than the video playback, the box seems to work fine and smoothly, and all the benchmark tests seem to show normal results (as far as I can tell).

For anyone who saw the problems I was having earlier on in this thread, I finally managed to get Kodi installed on my TX92 -- the only solution that worked in the end was to reset the box to factory defaults (which wasn't really a problem for me since I didn't have much installed on it yet, although I realize that for some it may not be an ideal solution). That allowed me to retain the upgraded firmware (it didn't revert to the original firmware) but did NOT put TV Center back, although it did allow me to download and install Kodi from Google Play (which I was unable to do before the reset)...

HOWEVER, I'm having trouble watching videos smoothly... On my previous, older Android box (RK3368 octa-core 2 GB/16 GB with Android 5.1 Lollipop), using MX Player, all videos played smoothly. On the TX92, with its newer version of Android and better specs (I've got the 3 GB/32 GB version), whether I use Kodi or MX Player, video playback is choppy/stuttery (both video and sound) -- this happens with all video types I've tried: .mp4, .mkv, .avi. I'm playing videos stored on an external hard drive connected to my router via a USB cable (that way I can easily add/remove videos from my laptop via my home WiFi network), and the TX92 is connected to the same router via ethernet cable (so the TX92 doesn't rely on WiFi for access to the video files or internet). This setup worked fine with my old android box, and it DOES work with the TX92, just not smoothly... So I'm thinking it's likely a question of settings. Perhaps there are some settings I should be changing (or add-ons downloading?) to make videos play more smoothly on the TX92? Anyone have any ideas? The box is pretty much useless to me like this... Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on this

I have six TX92 boxes. You should install "system app remover pro" from the playstore, uninstall the Kodi that came with the box, then download and install the current version. Before uninstalling, rename the folder /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi to org.xbmc.kodi_save. After installing the new version, run it once so it creates the data folder, reboot, delete the data folder, then rename the original back to what it was.

I have noticed video stopping. This is resolved by using a different provider. Sometimes several must be tried.

Thanks, I'll try like that to check, but I don't want that to be my default setup, as that would require disconnecting the drive, connecting it to my computer, copying new files over, and reconnecting to the box every time I want to add or remove a video file... I just don't understand why under the exact same conditions, my old box played videos fine and this new, supposedly better box, plays them so poorly...

Why do you need exactly to connect the drive to your computer, just to add files?
The tv box is also like a computer. You can also download any sort of files through that directly at your drive.

I have played BR rips at KODI through an external hard drive, WITHOUT any lags/problems.
But with the disk connected directly to the box.
Why won't you try like this first, before you check and settings?

The box itself is perfectly capable of playing any sort of videos.

And this solution worked again and again, with the app staying active?

Correct, I've never had an issue with any TX92, which I have several, or previous TV PCs by other manufacturers.

[RASTAVIPER]

So you have tried yourself with the Teamviewer host installed at the TX92 and you had managed to remote control the box from your mobile?

And this solution worked again and again, with the app staying active?

I run the quick support teamviewer at my tv box and as I have mentioned

Don't use quick support. Use "Teamviewer" and "Teamviewer Host".

When run on my ASUS Zenfone 5.7, yes, Teamviewer Host does become inactive after a time. I haven't pursued trying to resolve that. But for the TX92 TV PC, which this thread is about, the app has never gone inactive.

[RASTAVIPER]

Teamviewer has two programs; a host and a client The host runs all the time Set up a Teamviewer account, then use that for each host and client I connect to all my boxes and all show available all the time. If you have an auto start manager make sure Teamviewer host is allowed to run when the device boots

I run the quick support teamviewer at my tv box and as I have mentioned already, it gets terminated or goes offline after a while.
I have also used the option to add it to the stock autolaunch list and didn't change anything.

That's I am asking you if you have done it yourself.
In theory sounds fine,.but in practise it doesn't work.

I have the Vorke Z6, which is virtually the same box, and just connected the audio cable and it work perfectly.

Mind you my cable is 3.5 mm to 2 RCA. which goes to a 2 to 1 RCA adapter and then the SPDIF in on my amplifier.

Setting is auto.

Just for confirmation.
You use one of this http://cat1.cdnaki.es/productos/_ima...z1200x1200.jpg
and one of this https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1bvB3K...as-RCA-add.jpg
¿Or similar?
Thanks

I know about teamviewer, but how do you handle the problem that Android terminates

[RASTAVIPER]

I have several of these boxes and use Teamviewer. I can see all my android boxes, my PC, my laptop, other PCs. Works very well.

I know about teamviewer, but how do you handle the problem that Android terminates many apps after a while?
So if you try later to connect to the box, there is no teamviewer running and this can happen anytime I am outside of the house.
