H96 MAX Rk3566 4/32GB or 8/64GB Dual Wifi BT4.0 USB3.0 Gig Lan Google Voice Youtube Rockchip Android 11 Smart TV Box

[bergamesk]

well,all of these for "PRO" users not normal/regular users!

and look at the RK3566 thread;as how many ppl hv bought this boxes
and you will see mostly complaints

we known that whats was happened on RK3399 time!
10 or 12 "brand" RK3399 boxes and none of them was OK
Softwares,firmwares,nothing OTA etc etc just nothing being for a long time

In fact,if y'r PRO level user then buy it otherwise keep away or go to buy 905X4(at least less headche!)
or pay more ang get it Shield

Another thing you could try...under "developer options"
There was a option enable native driver for playback ( if i remember correctly )
I enable it for smart youtube tv app...it does something ( as there a white strip on top )
But my monitor doesn't do hdr

Anyway...great conduct research...Trigu75

I don’t think the problem is “rk boxes “

the problem is the factory that supplies the software in it ...

the android supplied on my box , is rooted , and that works ok ....

HDR , 4k60p ... actually works using the legacy player (media center ) which is using full hardware acceleration

i took the kdplayer apk from a different rk3566 box firmware and installed it because it includes pvr , so now I can even watch IPTV from kodi tv menu

Rkmc doesn’t include pvr and most Addons cannot be installed

rkmc / kdplayer , are not using full hardware acceleration it looks they took the amlogic version and loaded it on the box

in other hand .. these are new , just being released , and we all know Chinese don’t bother to qa , first they sell then they fix

If any of these boxes had the android source posted , we could add the specific hardware api to vlc ‘ kodi ‘ and other open source apps to include hardware fully acceleration

there is even a ffmpeg for rockchip (which is used by vlc / kodi as core before compilation )

RK boxes always problematic
this new RK3566 are same story

nobody knows whats going on,OTA another story even Root and lot of BUGs too
when we check here those RK3566 Boxes can not sale easly!

mo123 always warned and its true

Anyone have H96 Max working at 4k60?

Was the rumour true a faulty connection prevented it from working on some early boxes?

[Trigu75]

HDR WORKS !!!!

only webm files downloaded from YouTube worked and using media center app , or video player I posted here

as you can see ... before opening video ..go says no hdr ...

after open a video .. tv shows hdr in both 4K and 1080p tests

update : checked also hvec 10bit hdr and also played in hdr

weird mp4 hdr downloaded from YouTube didn’t work but one from a torrent worked

[Trigu75]

Rockchip 4K video player extracted from source , if you want to check if hdr work with this one

I don’t have here an hdr display so can’t check ... but the player works on my box Rk4kVideoPlayer.apk

[Trigu75]

I guess this is a job for the 4pda guys .... .

the source code is the same , it comes from rockchip , I extracted from their android image binaries and through adb shell and mounted secard ( and root ) the worked on the box ...

it’s just a matter of getting the board dtbs from original box firmware and compare ... I think. ... it’s just a configuration file for each box ... I wish I had the time to dig in ....

Found the source code

https://en.t-firefly.com/doc/download/page/id/93.html

there is even Ubuntu for it , I guess we could take the dtb from hk1 firmware and use it to compile a custom firmware from scratch, or even compile Ubuntu ..

I tried if binaries from firefly are compatible with my box ( extracted some app and some files from /system/bin that are not included on my box and they worked ...

Different manufacturers use very different code in their SDK's.
So don't expect it to work for this device especially if the SDK is updated and you try to mix it with old files from your device.

Hmm...
It sad to see so many negative comments...
Life is like a chocolate box, you never know what your are gone get.. ( exsp when buying pre-sale )
the rk3566 doesn't feel any faster or more capable then the rk3288...from way back
Its just has more ram, space and has 64bit Os

anyway.. I'm of the powergrit for about a month now, aka only using solar
So, im down to bare essentials ( phones/tablet/shield/remix mini/monitor/dacs/headphones )

ps
Happy to see freaktab online again!

I don’t know how much can this help , I have hk1 rbox r2 , the seller sent me an update RK3566_DC_R2_HK5235F_11_20210705.1409.img.7z

https://mega.nz/file/QAMgwDiS#S0G_wcAtMsvWA2U7IwVzdHnpXO4kou645QULLN_9bfE

this box is rooted , I don’t know if firmwares are compatibles with other rk3566 , but it appear all these different boxes come from the same factory

1) Patch your boot.img with Magisk and flash it through developer settings.
Lots of guides on freaktab.
2) Better get an airmouse and use an app to map touch points on the screen like octopus.
3) It's something you have to ask the manufacturer of your box to fix or send logs to Anydesk and pay them to add support for your device.

hi

1- thanks, could you offer any guide for using Magisk on this BOX? i never used this tool before.

2- BT on the BOX is turned on and paired with remote control and working well as air mouse, but applications (like Bubble Level or any games) can not detect remote control`s movement in air and it seems waiting for TV Box`s own gyroscope sensor. then i repeat my question:
"How to use remote control`s gyroscope instead of device sensor for gaming like as shown in the ad photo?"

3- third question still remains.
"How to connect it remotely by anydesk or teamviewer software from PC. it stuck at connecting page. also there is no option for remember checkbox while pressing "Start Now" and it cause problem in connecting unattended."1- thanks, could you offer any guide for using Magisk on this BOX? i never used this tool before.

Hi ,

no i cant , but you can find many Infos about it , even not sure if the new CPU is already

supported , you can ask Mo123 with PM , maybe he can help with that , about your

Remote problem , think you must press a specific Button , but which i dont know , look

if exist , in the paper description from the delivered Box ,

good luck / gefattern

Hi ,

is it not stock "rooted" ??? , better if possible to use Magisk for "root" ,

did you follow the steps discribed , look like it works over BT , so on the Box BT must turned ON , otherwise it wont work ,

the Games must support it too , like BeachBuggyRacing i think ,

for future , dont buy this shitty unsupported Boxes anymore , better look for a supported Box , Rom Updates / fixes / ....

from Devs or from Company ,
