Am I right in thinking that the firmware in the .zip above is the same Mecool firmware as in the .img, in your earlier post?

Is the .img above a later Mecool version of the firmware?

If yes, is there a .zip version?

I am trying to avoid the risk (for me) of opening the box and shorting it to get it to connect to my PC.

If there is a .zip version of the 20180316.143701,V0213.img on the way, I will hold off installing the 20180205.111652.V0928.zip version.

yes,yes, and no

Hi all! I'm an owner of an "LB" version... Is one of the firmwares in the previuos posts good for my box? none in the roms thread too?
I also am wondering why Amazon prime video apk doesn't work. is it a drm management problem? is it possible that could be fixed using one of the new firmwares based on stock android 7.1?

Nope, you can't flash any of the ROMs. You do that and you break your wifi and BT.

What I would advice though is that you do a factory reset from the stock recovery. Install an app called BootEasy from aptoide, it will allow you bot into recovery without any hassle. When everything is done, open the playstore app an disable automatic updates. Then find and install Youtube Tv version 2.02.14. That version works with this box perfectly and will give you no issues.

If you plan on using Kodi, uninstall the TV centre (kodi fork) appthat comes with the box and go to the Kodi website (after installing chrome of course which you can do by just using assistant and saying open chrome and will be linked to a download for chrome browser) and install the Kodi.lea.18 armv7 preview. This version of Kodi will give you feed recommendations.

Your other notable installs, TV app repo, Total Commander File explorer, DPI switcher (leave rez at 1080p and drop DPI to 260), Screen saver and gallery app, null keyboard (for if you use an external keyboard ad don't want the softkeyboard to keep appearing on screen).

There are some other more technical things you can and probably should tinker with (like putting in the proper vendor ID for whatever external KB you decide to use on the device so you have a working "enter" key. Setting up the chrome zoom level.....etc.

Ok, I understand. But can you manipulate files on the HD attached to your box from a computer? My Zidoo X9S has a builtin samba server, so I can manipulate files connected to that device from my local network. Perhaps there is an app for Android, I never checked.

I don't have a computer in my apartment anymore. I've narrowed my devices down to a smartphone, Android box and PS4pro.

So no manipulating from anything for me. Unless it can be done from the Android box. Which makes it redundant when you consider that the only thing the hard drive would be connected to is the Android box.

Yes, that should be possible, by installing a Samba server on the box. I have server ultimate pro, but apparently it has some issues when connecting the box with a Windows 10 computer.

I can understand why you would do that. You have more than one Android box and llmultiple drives and that way all of them can see ur drives.

I have just one drive that's intended to be used exclusively to the one Android box.

I always use Ethernet and a NAS, actually three of them....... And several external HD, but none connected directly to any of my Android boxes.

Need some info....

Does anyone have a USB HDD (powered or otherwise) connected to this box and set up as an internal drive?

If so what kinda read/write speeds are you getting?

I just ordered a 4TB powered HDD and plan to use that as an internal drive cause I'm tired of constantly moving downloaded videos over to an external drive .

Also, is there a difference between the two USB ports? As in is one faster than the other? I ask cause uson aida64 I see different throughput speeds for the different USB ports .

How i can easily and fast understand if it's the bad LB version or no? Maybe i can ask by email a simple fast check on something exterior?
Thanks

Look at the part number on the bottom of your box, the last two letters. Works for English, but not sure about other languages.

Can't be certain, looking at what they have they don't seem to have the Leanback version (**********LB) based on the images they have on their product page right now. But that doesn't mean it could ship and be the LB version.

The LB is the current version in circulation, but its also the worst version to get. Unfortunately thats whatI have, in my specific usage case scenario its perfect, but its been known not to have as good a wifi chip as the other versions.

Trust me when I say that the LQ firmware has a terrible Wi-Fi chip as well. In my case it keeps disconnecting when using Netflix (which is a pretty stable app, although slow), let alone when Kodi is on!
