Follow up: Where can I find the link to the telegram group?

I have encountered the problem in both 0.4.1 (fresh reflash) and 0.4.2. The playback crash has occured randomly when playing 1080p videos via Emby and Plex, 720p video on YouTube and 480p video on twitter. I don't think it's the video type, amlogic decoder crashes for some reason. I do not use auto frame rate.

Apparently I am not the only one facing the issue, there's a guy over at Ugoos English channel who has the same problem but a different box. However his crash happens when using AFR and playing video from a web browser.

If android doesn't work well I will just put the box away. Could you please share a link to the telegram group?

Kindly advise:
1. Will this rom work with AM6B+?
2. What is the latest version and changelog?
3. Does it have playback crash issue?
4. I had read somewhere one has to make donation and send screenshot to get the rom? How is this done?

Reason: my box just stops playing randomly. I have shared logs with ugoos but no feedback...I feel like I'm going to lose my mind because it was so expensive. Just looking for any fix to make the box play videos without crashing.

Yes
v0.4.2 Donation Only
If stock v0.4.2 firmware doesn't work for you, this will also not work.
No
Yes, you must make a donation, follow the Sasvlad telegram group.

What videos are you trying to play, please upload some samples.
What video players are you using?
Are you using auto frame-rate switching?
Are you playing videos locally or through a network?

No one else has these problems so it must be something from your side.

Maybe you should try CoreELEC from a micro-sd card instead to play videos.

Alright I will consider flashing. One more question though, I see firmware 0.4.1 on ugoos website, is it possible to flash and downgrade from 0.4.2?

[mo123]

Reflashing and a factory reset might fix it.
If not, send your logs to Ugoos support or Telegram group.

[Nofrills]

Are you using the latest firmware and done a factory reset?

Thank you for the feedback. I am on the latest firmware 0.4.2 (came installed already). I haven't performed factory reset because it started acting like that right out of the box.

[mo123]

I bought AM6B+ but I'm facing random total playback failure of all videos (local, lan or internet) until I reboot. I am now considering flashing custom rom to get the box to work properly. However, is it possible that the dev can diagnose the log file and advise if flashing this rom will fix the problem?

Below is the link to the log file

I was on a custom firmware then 2 weeks ago I installed the Ugoos dual boot firmware then I immediately updated to 0.3.9.1

At that time I no longer had a network, I unplugged the cable and everything came back

I am using Tivimate with no problem.

Its just my personal experience.

[Jancales]

After switching to version 3.9.1 I had to unplug the power cable to turn off the box and then restart to have the network again. But since then I have no more problems and it only happened once.


I quote you: "Some of the" fixes "in 0.4.0 that really worry me, because my boxes will be used primarily for IPTV."

Why are you worried that Ugoos is working on IPTV to improve quality and add functionality? On the contrary, if you are very interested in IPTV you should be happy ...

I think you haven't fully understood how a TV box works and you're a little confused by the fact that Ugoos offers a lot of updates.

If there are rarely updates on Mecool boxes, this does not mean that these problems do not exist, it just means that Mecool is not working on them.

"3. Added deinterlacing method setting (playback settings). May be useful for fixing color jerking problem on IPTV sports channels": This is an inherent problem with the Amlogic SoC, not a problem with Ugoos boxes. Most boxes with Amlogic SoC have this deinterlacing defect. This is not a very serious flaw as it is only on some very fast sports content at a certain frame rate and a lot of users don't even realize it.

See the Shield TV Pro 2019 also has a lot of fixes, that doesn't mean it's bad. If you go to the official Nvidia Shield forum you will see a lot of people complaining and yet it is considered by many people to be the best.

For the network loss, I am not saying that there is not a recurring problem, but anyway from my side after a restart the problem was solved.

Thanks for your response.

Just to clarify, I sell iptv services, and my customers would not appreciate if they have to reset the box during a live sport event.

So may I ask how long ago you updated to 0.3.9.1 and did the hard reset?

For many years I have sold mecool boxes, with a custom firmware, to my customers and I have never noticed an issue with the deinterlacing, but as you explain, it will probably not be noticeable for most people.

This however would be a bigger problem, and noticeable by everyone fixed reboots when rewinding or switching IPTV channels frequently

[yougz]

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I contacted Sasvlad and he informed he has a custom firmware version 0.4.0.

Though the only reason I would flash a custom rom, is because of the posts on 4pda and also on the Ugoos facebook page, regarding network and wifi issues after flashing stock 0.3.9.1

From the Ugoos FB page



So they expect you frequently unplug power for 1 minute to get your network working again???

Then they post in February that there will be a 0.4.0 firmware update, but that seem to have been pulled back since, because on the official Ugoos website 0.3.9.1 is the latest firmware

Some of the "fixes" in 0.4.0 that really worry me, because my boxes will be used primarily for IPTV.

2. Added experimental video codec fixes as option (playback settings):

- improved work of Steam Link video streams with hardware encoding on AMD GPUs

- fixed reboots when rewinding or switching IPTV channels frequently

3. Added deinterlacing method setting (playback settings). May be useful for fixing color jerking problem on IPTV sports channels

Maybe someone can explain to me if I misunderstand something, but why pay 150$ for a box that has all these issue, when I have never experienced these with the cheapest Mecool box?


Edit to add : What is actually going on lately with those so-called "high end" boxes?

Mecool Km6 Deluxe : I see several posts on FB and forums of Wi-Fi issues. I have had 2 myself, and they didn't see the 5Ghz signal from my router, while all other devices in the house could see it and connect. Videostrong has acknowledged to me that they are aware of the issues, but are still working on a fix.

Beelink GT King Pro. I see posts on 4pda and on the Beelink forum about similar issues with the Wi-Fi as the Mecool KM6, especially with the latest Wi-Fi 6 version.

Now Ugoos am6 Plus, again posts about network and Wi-Fi issues.

Never heard about those issues with the cheaper boxes. As far as I recall it all started with the S905X2 SoC

After switching to version 3.9.1 I had to unplug the power cable to turn off the box and then restart to have the network again. But since then I have no more problems and it only happened once.
