IPTV seems to work well..
I use Tivimate as main app / EPG...then as external player GSE IPTV
On HD channels.. you rarely get HW acceleration..but on FHd always

I also use the box as Pi-hole for my network devices ( with netguard)
When it stutters video..,.or crashes Pi-hole services...
-I emty Cache : settings/storage/cache
-I use the wipe app on desktop
-Use Petrus Reboot app
Then it good to Go again

Sorry guys haven't posted much...my father died and I'm finally done ( with with all that comes with it )
If you still have a father...give him a hug and a smile
Because..you might miss the bugger...when hey is gone

Cheers

I accidentaly did something with twrp and now my device is MASKROM mode, does anyone has a solution to install a firmware when in MASKROM. I have looked for solutions everywhere and one was to find the NAND flash and try to short it but i can't find the NAND and i really have tried everything.

--------fw rk356x_box-userdebug 11 RQ1D.210105.003
USB DAC support really good ( meizu / dragonfly's perfect playback plug and play ) (default color is magenta = 96khz ) (jitter free)
Ota update says latest version
wifi strength average / my tablets and phones see a lot more WiFi networks
Remote range really bad / keeps blinking with new batt / airmouse works great
CPU throttle says : allcores offline ? At 0.10 GHz ? Running test shows quite a bit off throttling
Vanced YouTube with spoof : allows HDR playback
android is android TV based / no notifications bar / no taskbar / 2 settings appz-pages / sound: no option to route sound to other devices like dacs
Android 11 sdk30 arm64v8a arm-v7a widevine L3 clearkey 1.2
RKMC kodi 18.9 is preinstalled info shows : 4cores at 12% with 6.4 gb of free ram / kernel 4.19 / batt level 50% / audio route option not given
Bromite 64bit works good / preinstalled Firefox shows : banner no longer supporting android TV version
Aurora market works / sentio works, but enabling appz in window doesn't work or even 50% 50% / Kodi 19 64bit works
pcb = hcy-rk356x-1x32-v12 builddate = 2021-03-15 WiFi chip= hcy6355

On my amazon 4k stick.. I tried to watch a really really long movie, but the unit stated : running out of space!
The rk3566 however played the movie without issue

"Smart YouTube next" has need options like 8k vp9+hdr with auto framerate switching... ( sadly I'm on a 27" monitor without HDR support )

Tweaking
Developer options has lots of options like
Disable google apps / disable "suspend execution of cached apps" / disable auto run "stress test for rockchip" and "google" / force sRGB

Root acquired... Was a pain to get unit into "loader" ( unit powers up from otg cable - so it needs enough power from USB )
-methods : remove all cables / get ready to push reset button / connected otg cable unit will light up blue / hold reset button ( hope and pray it works )

Downloaded jellyfish 4k uhd 10bit 140mbps :
Mxplayer some frame drops / off Kodi horrible frame drops / media center looks good / nova lots of framedrops

Hi, I have the same device as yours with Wifi Chip HCY6355. I updated to November 22 firmware and now my wifi doesn't see any wifi access points. I have tried different firmware versions but no success. By any chance do you have the firmware file of your device? I will appreciate if you share and upload on GDrive. Or any one else on the forum can share a solution for my problem. Many thanks

Hello Everyone. I have the H96Max rk3566 with wifi chip HCY6355, 4/32. Please share link of the correct firmware. I updated and now there's no wifi. My board is exactly the same as in the link video.
