Yes. the netflix of M8s and KM9 are all down.
P.S. Chinese hacked boxes are not offically authorized by Netflix. So if you are a Netflix lover, I suggest you to buy a authorized box. Mibox S. FireTV Stick 4k. Ruku, etc...https://devices.netflix.com/en/

But Google is auth. Right? KM9 has widevine L1 certificate so it should open hd i think.

[mo123]

Not anymore.

But Google is auth. Right? KM9 has widevine L1 certificate so it should open hd i think.

L1 is certified by Google. And KM9 is not certified by Netflix.
L1 is a requirement for playing NETFLIX, but NOT ENOUGH.
Device certification for most partners are done through the Netflix Test Studio which is a self-certification system for device manufactures.
This allows Netflix and device manufacturers to be certain their device will work with Netflix.
So, if your device is not stated authorized by NETFLIX, it is not supported!
(in short, TV box company need to pay $$$$$$$$$ for NETFLIX to make it works)

Quote from Beelink rep: "Netflix wants to collect millions of dollars in royalties from us." Isn't it enough that they already collect monthly fees from their subscribers?

I can't watch it if I want to watch sd netflix.

Device certification is allways the best. But just like prime and bell and other software having level 1 Google Certification should be only thing needed. If they get that right it should work. These companies are dropping the certification as subscription bases dropped over it. That was the whole point of having the security of level one from Google. So everyone on the same playing field but as always issues with some.


Guess it's a wait and see.

Use Cyberflix for now. All the shows are there too. In high def. But, not 4k.

Finally received my Mecool KM9 today, and all I can say is " what a piece of crap"...

[woodbar]

Yeah, I'm a bit meh......

If I could get the bluetooth to connect with my keyboard and mouse that would improve things

[mralexkung]

I wonder if netflix is banned KM9's netflix by product model or manufacturer...
Some people said KM8 can still play netflix (and other brands as well).
Anyone know ADB and can make a try to change this?

ro.product.model=SHIELD Android TV
ro.product.brand=NVIDIA
ro.product.manufacturer=NVIDIA

Is GB taking it back ?

[ezegalli]

Is this box better than M8S PRO L and Amlogic S912 ? 905X2 is faster then S912?

I had a M8S Pro L and now i own a KM9 an i can tell you that KM9 is faster, more electric when changing apps.

The only problem i?ve got on Kodi 17.6 is an error message regarding libraries (but the app works ok) and you want, you can Install Kodi 18 Leia RC1 and runs really smooth.
Also on Arena4Viewer (live sports) the app changes from black to white, like artifcacts, but also is 100% functional --> After you select the sport event, there are no problems any more.


Regarding Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO.... I don?t recommend any single Mecool device for that purposes. If you want to use these services you better choose Xiaomi Mi Box, Amazon Firestick, Chromecast or Nvidia Shield

If you mean crap because netflix, hbo and Amazon are not working, i suggest you to use Xiaomi Mi Box, Nvidia Shield, etc ---> All officially certified products.

Apart from that, this devices runs really fast and smooth with Kodi, Cyberflix, MorphTV, Popcorntime, YouTube, Arena4Viewer, etc

Hi, just signed up and taken delivery of the KM9 and reading through all the interesting threads. So far so good - seems much quicker than my old Minix!

Major problem with the Bluetooth. Obviously it is working as the the link with the supplied remote operates (a bit mean not adding play/pause etc. buttons!) BUT although the box will scan and recognise my other Bluetooth devices it absolutely refuses to pair with them? This includes a mouse, keyboard and headphones, ALL of which paired and worked OK with the Minix X8-H ?

Any idea what is going wrong?

I have 0 problems with bluetooth using a Logitech K400 Plus Keyboard and also pairing a 8-Bitdo Gamepad.

[trebor]

Yer it's not too bad,does what it said it can do, Fast, cool,
A8 well that's a bit different, maybe A9 will be better but prolly not...

Time to take up knitting clarkss12
