The biggest complaint I saw was the video freezing issue. I had this happen to me also. Today's update seems that it might have resolved it from the test I'm currently running. Right now I'm 1 1/4 hours into a movie and it hasn't frozen, where yesterday my video froze in like 10 - 15 minutes.

I do still have the crashing problem on the video I've been trying with all versions. The new version shows the first screen of the movie and then crashes now. Before it would just crash and not show the first screen.

It seems to be an improvement and hopefully they will quickly resolve the major issues.

Edit: finished 2 1/4 hour movie with no issues. Put on a movie now that is almost 2 3/4 hours. So far 55 minutes in and no issues.

I do not exclude the possibility that the situation with freezing is solved.But for the test of these actions it is not enough.
What else I propose to test: check the video rewind (forward / backward) in MXPlayer when watching online video. Use Playback Settings-Level 2. In this case my box was frozen in most attempts.

I did step by step everything and this bug came! :-( There is no such cable "You need a USB male to male cable"!

USB to USB or A to A or male to male. They are all the same thing.

I got that also. I did my other boxes and the rest took 5 minutes or so total.

You have to open burning tool. Add image. Plug USB into computer only. Then press Start. Then plug USB cable and power cable into box at the same time. You will hear a whole bunch of noises like it's mounted and unmounted several times. The progress bar will start moving. It takes about 3 minutes per box on my computer. Once it reaches 100%, unplug the box from the computer, then hit Stop button in burning tool.

Sometimes you have to do the plugs USB and power cable at the same time step a couple of times. Just unplug, press Stop on the program, press Start and plug in again until it works.

Does this version also include 1080p UI for Android ?
What about usb/sd boot support ? Is that also planned ?

I had the same problem funthomaspr . You need to do this on your computer. You need a USB male to male cable. Then download https://mega.nz/#!WNU1wJDB!sFIoEyBHy...gi53T09uEvVypc (Amlogic Burning Tool). The instructions are here http://www.tanix-box.com/124/how-to-flash-tanix-tx5/ . It's the same instructions for the TX3 Max.

It took me like 20 minutes total because it was the first time and I couldn't figure out how to get my computer to recognize the box. After several plug and unplugs it worked. Hopefully it will be faster for my other boxes.

Hello!

How do I install this? So far I've just installed .zip files on the Tanix mini box! This is now the .img file! I would like to ask you step by step help. Thanks

You do not mind that in the changes to the latest beta version of a word about the most important problems that developers are closing their eyes?

The Dual OS version firmware I'm running is 20180112. I'll try 20171220 again. If not I'll attempt the latest update posted right above mine.

Ok I tried TX3Mini-ota-20171220-Tanix_Box_Com.zip but this is firmware for TX3 Mini and looks different from the one I have which is TX3 Max. What would the firmware be for TX3 Max? I will try the new BETA download from today for now.

[maestro]

What version of Dual OS firmware are you using?

I applied the firmware (zip) TX3Mini-ota-20171220-Tanix_Box_Com.zip. Replaces previous firmware, then LibreELEC is no longer available. The previous firmware was the dual operating system: p281-ota-20180109.zip.

I applied the TX3Mini-ota-20171220-Tanix_Box_Com.zip firmware, using the app UPDATE & BACKUP (Select and Update).

Just figured it out. Go to the icon/app you want to change, hit the menu button (the one with 3 lines right of Home), then pick an app.

It will change the app but it won't look as nice as the original icons.

Now I just need to figure out how to make them nicer like the originals. Any ideas?

That Worked ...Thanks!!

Yes, the replaced app icon appear smaller.

How do I revert back to the 12/20/17 Android only version? I didn't see it posted on Tanix's site and I don't need LibreElec.
