MECOOL Android TV Box KM6 Deluxe Edition Powered by Amlogic S905X4 AVI supported

Well I had to reorder... went to Mecool and purchased it there. Can't complain with low price with practically free shipping and discount. Could not find a better deal without any points collected on other sites. Plus they will ship out sooner once the item is released in a week or two. Seems like every store has a waiting list for around the start of Feburary to ship.

I thought about making a purchase for an Ugoos box for dual boot, but I like the Mecool for Freaktab and 4PDA developers. Though the box is Google certified so it's a fully functioning android TV box. Something new for mid priced boxes. I messed with 64 and 32 bit os on Chinese boxes, and find 32bit more stable, both in box capability and app functions. I think this will last me a while.
Now I have decided to for go the Ugoos and take on my 1st Mecool. I like the hardware of the KM6 Deluxe, and the lack of rebuilding from scratch the TV experience on 10. So 32bit is a crutch, but within a year, I forsee devs doing some good things for these X4 boxes.

Went back and watched video again/paused at 1024/and 1033
Both = 32 bit
Read that article about Big G and 64 Bit changeover
Was all excited/assumed Mecool was ahead of the Game...
Amlogic........Hmmmmmmmm
So we are awhile until there is 64 Bit /full
64 Bit Rom
64 Bit Binaries
64 Bit OS
64 Bit CPU (Lots of these actually )
Thanks RiCkLaR

When Google releases Android 12 for the Pixel phones around September of this Year we will have better idea if Alphabet's GoogleTV will also be getting 64-bit only OS at that time, i.e. 2020 Chromecast; but I believe GoogleTV(androidTV) will get and exemption from the rule for at least another year because of the Video Codecs running in 32-bit.
Blame Amlogic...... for what they Provide
This will make my Decision Easier Now....
Unfortunetly
