There is new firmware released few days ago:

Mecool is really confusing the consumers with the KM9 box. Now Gearbest has two listings for KM9 box and another listing for KM3 box which is exactly the same as KM9. Here is what I could gather from the website:

All of these boxes have Android Pie (9.0) and S905X2 processor

KM9 (not Google Certified version), 32 gb ROM, has Gigabit LAN but *NO* voice remote
https://www.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_0...ml?wid=1433363 ($51)

KM9 (Google Certified version) with voice remote but *NO* Gigabit LAN, 32gb ROM
https://www.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_0...63#goodsDetail ($69)

KM3 (Google Certified) with voice remote but *NO* Gigabit LAN but has 64gb ROM.
https://www.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_0...&lkid=19954908 ($79)

So I have no idea what they are trying to do here. KM3 looks like a newer (maybe nicer) box.

If anyone knows of any other differences please post those. As far as I can tell neither of them support Netflix HD.

Can we get that new update for Pie on this box? Specs are the same.

Hey guys, can anyone guide me through the Audio settings of the KM9?

First I'm not sure but does the AV port support mini toslink output?? Or is there posybility to get digital audio to my AV Onkyo receiver ?
Second, when I go into Advanced audio settings and activate the option SPDIF, it just gets blank again after leaving the menu instead of saving the setting "on".
In general there are some mistakes in audio options in this android...

And is anybody aware of all the different advanced audio settings like, Dolby Audo (off, Line, RF), DTS percentage etc.. ? what is it?
That should I set in options to get 5.1 DTS Core or DD on HDMI port?


Thanks in advance for your answers! I hope U can help me with this cos I cannot find any tips for couple of days....

Since KM9 does not have an SPDIF output, you will need one of these to connect Optical SPDIF to your amplifier: https://www.google.gr/search?source=...30.fX5pM1HnO4s

I just output on HDMI to my Digital Audio receiver, which handles the Dolby/DTS decoding. The only thing I needed to tweak was the settings in Kodi to pass through multi-channel audio.

I didn't change the Ethernet (or WiFi) support in my custom ROMs, so it should be the same as the underlying OEM firmware.

Hi. I bought this ICZI USB 3.0 and Gigabit 1000 USB Hub and I can not get the ROM ofical Android TV from my KM9 to have an internet connection. Does anyone know of any gigabit HUB that works with the KM9? This product in the Xiaomi S is perfect. Do you think that in the Magendanz rom the hub can work?

An Android 9 beta has already been released for the KM9. I guess it will not be Android TV. Let's see if there's something about Android TV 9 soon

I installed custom Rom Android TV Os Mangedanz and my wifi connection drops.every few seconds..can I set something on my Asus router or on Km9?
Cable works fine

Yeah, VideoStrong (Mecool) seems to have reverted across the board to non-ATV builds...probably because they received a threatening "cease and desist" letter from Google for shipping their apps without permission. That's unfortunate for their customers now, but it may mean that VideoStrong and others have a new incentive to get their devices Google certified and "go legit."

In the interim, it's good news for us custom ROM developers. If you want a real Android TV experience for your Chinese TV box, aftermarket sites like FreakTab are really the only game in town.
