Tanix TX6 TV Box - Allwinner H6 4/32GB Dual WiFi BT4.1 or 5

[SoteR2110]

because there are two firmware from 0228 - see my table )))
If in the name of the firmware file only the inscription TX6 will be "balls", and if there is a word Tanix, then there will be a video animation
eg
Tanix_H6_9 4Gddr_8822bs_20190228 - video animation
TX6_H6_9.0_4Gddr_8822bs_20190228 - "balls"

I've updated my box to your 0507, but now I have Kodi buffering problems, when I stream HD videos in kodi, it will play for several seconds, and then buffering for few minutes, and play again for several seconds. When I open the Kodi's codec debug (ctrl+shift+O) and keeping the eye on the "Forward: xxMB" info (it is how many MBs the video have been cached, normally it will always shows 15MB, meaning it cached 15MB of video data forward), but after the update this number keeps dropping to 0, because the video is playing, then video stops, this number rises again to 15MB, and video plays again, and the number goes down again.

It seems like Kodi cannot keep up the buffering and the playback speed. I don't know whether it is the wifi that is too low, or the update, or the kodi, but I'm very sure it is not my internet speed since when I streamed the exact same file from the exact same server using the exact same wifi on my laptop with Kodi 17.6, there is no such problem, only on my TX6 box.

I understand you installed 0228 with the boot animation "balls"?

Okay, I will look into it, thank you for your help

Why do you think programmers make new updates?
I have no words ...
In the latest versions of the software, the sound problem has been fixed, the upper and lower status lines have been added, reduced temperature, etc.
And you are all afraid of something incomprehensible ...

Yeah, it has an OTA update but it doesn't show TO WHAT version the update is, only 'minor fixes and Kodi 18.1", so I think it is risky for me to update OTA, I'm afraid I will get 0508 through that OTA update. Even though Kodi 18.0 was included in 0228, I was able to uninstall it through settings and install the latest 18.2 Leia through playstore.
Is there anything wrong with update 0228 that I should aware of?

Apparently I just need to plug it to the bottom USB slot on the device, not the top one, so stupid of me. It worked, I have installed 20190228 and it turns out to solve all my problems!!!! (so far)...

the UI and Alice UX works fluidly and snappy. I can play 1080p without any stuttering and sound cracking noise, even in Kodi 18.2 Leia with dirty regions still turned on!!. The only difference I felt (and slightly bugging me) is how my keyboard works differently on android 9 UI now, Esc button cannot be used in most apps to exit anymore, etc. But overall I'm pretty satisfied with 0228.

I will try to upgrade to 0507 as you suggested. Thank you for your help!!

It is impossible to go through OTA from 7 to 9 - only through img !
or 20190228->20190323->20190403->20190419 - everything ! - You can start with any firmware from the chain
or immediately 0507
I'm using 4+32 - and installed software 0615 - no problem

That means I need to flash it with PhoenixSuite V1.10? Because I can't connect it to my PC. I've tried this step:

1.unplug all cables from TX6
2.open Phoenix suite, go to firmware Tab, open TX6_H6_4Gddr_8822bs_20190228.img
3.tick "download one or mult partition", and tick "select all"
4. press and hold the reset/power button through the ventilation grill near SDcard, then plug the USB male-to-male to the back USB 2.0 near ethernet port
5. Nothing happens, I tried to click on upgrade button, it said "No Device Attached!"

did I do something wrong?

see the table - all the chains are perfectly visible
Do you want to 0506 or 0507 - immediately install through img - I recommend 0507

Works like a charm! Thank you!!

Another thing, i've been following the posts from this thread and still confused with the update-jumps from this to there and many versions of it...which updates need I go through from android 7 (22 Dec 2018) to the most stable running android 9 in your opinion? (I've read on your post on page 26 it is the 20190506 or 20190507)
I've read that i need to go to 201902xx then OTA, then another update again.
And if so, where (in what page of the thread) can I download those update links.Thank you in advance!!
