banggood also has a new km9 with white logo written on top which they say in the description has atv 9...but they only say you can preorder preorder so i think it will take some time to take this firmware

I ordered that model and it comes with 8.1 ugly white-gray background launcher with big Km9 written
No Android 9.0 and no Android TV OS

Yes, bring it on! If an official OEM link for the Android Pie firmware isn't posted, we can always rip the partitions using the WorldCup drivers and a USB cable. Just PM me for instructions.

Android 9.0 ??

Dear vprasinos. no app played netflix on my box except the app that i get from aliexpress seller. Netflix6.7.apk

[vprasinos]

It's unbelievable how people don't bother reading 1 page back! This is the third time I'm posting the same message about NETFLIX. Please make it a sticky if possible.

Did some tests today myself to confirm what is being said in here about netflix on this box. The truth is that netflix CAN run on this box but at limited resolution.

I downloaded from apkmirror some of the black backrgound-red logo versions which are for tablets/phones and they successfully played content. It is not the best experience ever since the black backrgound-red logo apps are designed for touch control and we have a remote control, so a mouse or a air remote is necessary to plug into usb to control the app. Through the latest app I could see the movies and tv shows I played at 720p or some of them at 540p. The strange thing is that I could see "Polar" at 1080p! I don't know the role of the DRM level to the quality of the stream but seems that some movies have different security requirements and can play L1 content with higher resolution and some with lower. Quite strange...
The white background-red letter versions (ATV versions) did not open at all and they produced a -100 error (that they could not find a proper network or something).

All of the above were tried with the stock firmware which I think it is 201809011.

i can play netflix 540p with an app from seller. No other app i tried could either. On my h96 pro+ i can play netflix with more possibilities

[GoranTz]

YES netflix can play. Check my post above 3 pages back. But as vitocorl says, only the android app and the phone/tablet version and you need a mouse. I only managed to run the netflix kodi plugin when I was running CoreElec in another box. The android kodi with the netflix plugin is a no go on this machine at least

[offchu]

hi guys and girls. can anyone watch netflix on this device?
all atv roms i tried gives error. apps and kodi extension wont work.
i am not asking watching 4k. does apps work or not? if yes how. please help me.

Yes, I can watch it ( of course not 4K). Can you give more informations about errors with screenshot?

[vitocorl]

I am afraid not. I have asked for help the developer of the Netflix plugin for Kodi and he could not do something. The device fails the provisioning from Netflix and the plugin does not work. The android apps also cannot start in this device, since Netflix blacklisted it sometime ago...

The only thing you can try is downloading the Netflix app for tablets and phones (the one with the red logo) and try to see if it works, of course this app is only mouse controllable.
