Originally posted by JNRW View PostHi. I am delighted to say I successfully flashed the ROM and am very, very impressed with its overall speed and simplicity of operation.
There are two things I am unsure of and I hope, again, someone can help me.
My principal aim was to be able to use Netflix on this box and I particularly like how it works within Kodi on other boxes. But it does not work, I just keep getting the same pre-flashing connection error messages. I have the exact same set up as on other successful installations. (I do a lot of this for elderly friends). Why should this be?
Secondly, whereas Netflix works perfectly well from the in-built app and in HD, I cannot get the up/down/left/right navigation arrows to respond, only the mouse. This is not a big problem but if they could work I would be much happier. Am I missing a setting here?
Thank you.
Thanks for the positive feedback. I do not use Kodi for Netflix, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work like you normally would use it. You may need to ask on the forum where they support that addon. As for the Netflix app this is the mobile version and this is the way it acts this way. Unless you have a Netflix certified box you won't be able to use the Android TV version of Netflix app, which gives you better remote support. I personally don't use the remote I use a Rii keyboard with a touchpad which works pretty good for me.
Thank you,
Alvatech

Hi. Thank you for getting back to me. I have just now flashed your ROM onto a B922 box also with success.
I take your point about the use of Netflix in Kodi and will continue to pursue their forum.
I have two questions, if I may.
Firstly I would like to slow down the mouse pointer speed to make the navigation in the Netflix app more controlled, however, whereas I can find the relevant setting to adjust on my Android 5 Minix box I cannot find it on this box, only the ability to make the mouse pointer bigger. Could you direct me, please? (Apologies if that is a bit mundane).
Secondly, would the Netflix version 7.59.2 be worthwhile trying in your opinion?
And finally, thanks again for your output and continued support, i just love the product!

I have a USB enclosure with 5 HDD's inside and most are 2 or 3 TB but I have a 8 TB and 10 TB also. My current box can use them just fine. I think I will be using this ROM for sure.

Chralie_Boy, if you are planning to use a soundbar or surround receiver, stay away from this box. With the current software, the GT-King does not pass any images or sound through the HDMI port to a soundbar or surround receiver. I have two of these and wish I had know this fact before purchasing them.

I now own the device and I am glad I bought it. Fits my needs perfectly. One or two things to solve and it will be 100%.Last edited by Charlie_Boy; 03 July 2020, 00:42.

Sorry I don't have a box in front of me to tell you exactly where. In there you should be able to change pointer speed. As for the Netflix app you would need to try it out to know how it works for you.
Thank you,

I notice you have the Amazon Prime Video app loaded in your images in the first post so if you could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Thanks.
EDIT: I managed to engage my second brain cell and have successfully installed Amazon Prime Video from the Play Store. I continue to be extremely happy with the speed of operation of these two revitalised boxes.

My version is SB9X will this ROM be suitable? I don't see this version number mentioned. Open ELEC reports that I have the Revision B chip.
According to this link https://androidpctv.com/firmware-bee...ng-rom-update/ serials C922X, SA92X and SB92X are compatible, is this also the case for your ROM?

Installed blindly without being sure that the image is compatible. The ROM runs very smoothly, possibly the best I have used. I found two problems which are immediately apparent to me, the ROOT button is missing that was on the original or I can't find it and the WiFi does not work, tried changing channels and it won't connect. Using Ethernet works very well though.
Definitely the best box that I have owned. It does everything that I require. We may grow old together.
