    as I'v lot of VC1 videos on my HDD and its play all of them! bingo
    VC1

    I thought was misprint
    You meant AV1

    VC1 this is old windows...Based ?

    I have old Drive 500 g with lots of movies
    Sure they are all DivX,XviD,HEVC...
    Will have to look n see if any are VC1

    I would never think to test this Format on TV Box....

    Hmmmmmm
    Will have to have a look in old windows Tower

    I wonder if Kodi interface
    Or CorE Elec would have playback/ support for VC1

    One thing the picture quality on those BLURAYRIP is
    Spectacular

    Happy Testing

      nope I do not meant "AV1"!

      I'v said that; WMV/VC-1 SP/MP/AP (1080p/60fps)
      and yes it was an old type and KODI does not play too!!

      note;I do not know if CoreELEC play?? or might be play

      ++
      I do some of tweaks and now picture quality is better(changed some of Screen Res.menu and get it better pic)

        The VC-1 codec is an old Microsoft video codec. I have numerous BlueRay rips that are encoded with that VC-1 codec. No Amlogic based media players will play that codec, including, but not limited to. Tivo Stream 4k, Walmart ONN box, Ematic Jetstream 4k, Xiaomi box, Dynalink TV Box, None of the Mecool Google certified boxes, etc.

        In order to play those movies, I have to use either a server like Plex or Emby that transcodes that codec on the fly, OR use CoreELEC. CoreELEC plays every video and audio codec that I have.

        Edit: I forgot to mention that CoreELEC does NOT support the Amlogic S905X4 boxes at this time.

          Hi clarkss12

          >you right,AML based Boxes does not play properly even does not play etc.,
          but this "Tanix X4" play all my VC-1 videos!

          >recently I'v using AML-S905X4 box(A95X F4) and of course it does not play any of VC-1 video too!

          >and bad point for 905X4; CoreELEC does not support

              Why are you getting rid of the Tanix and getting a HK1 box?? Did you get rid of your Rockchip boxes??

                    Thank you for that information about Rockchip. My fingers are itching to get a box with a different SoC than Amlogic.

                      Hey guys, so I'm planning on getting the Tanix X4 after researching so many boxes currently on the market and this one seems like the best choice for me. My main concern however is Bluetooth functionality. I've previously owned 3 different boxes (which I still have) and two of them have Bluetooth but the experiences have all been less than ideal using it. The first box I have, which I use in the family room for watching series and movies is the A95 F3 Air and the BT functionality on that device isn't great. Whenever I'd want to connect a pair of BT headphones so I could watch what I wanted without anyone hearing, after a few uses, upon the next boot, I'll constantly get a notification pop up that Bluetooth has stopped working and for it to go away and for BT to work fine again I'd always have to do a hard reset on the box. One of the reasons why I avoid boxes like this one now is because the BT is always on, you can't turn it off, which I suspect is one of the factors that contributes to it malfunctioning so often.

                      The second box, which I recently got a couple months ago, for my own room, was the Vontar Z5. I thought this box would have performed better with BT use because you have the ability to turn it on and off but turns out I was wrong. 9/10 times when BT is connected the box will freeze up and I have to constantly reboot it until it starts working and it will sometimes take a good 4-5 reboot before I can even watch anything while my BT headphones are connected then when I'm finished watching whatever series or film, the moment I leave the media player app, it usually freezes again.

                      So my question is, to anyone that owns this box and mainly uses Bluetooth to connect to headphones to watch videos, does it perform well in that regard and there aren't any problems?

                        Hi, I do not know if you have placed an order. If not don't buy just yet.

                        I received mine from Aliexpress last week and I found the software to be crap. Even Chrome did not work properly. Google play said Chrome was not upgradable on this box. The Store even failed to find some quite standard Apps that are have been widely available for many years. After complaining at length with the supplier he finally send me a .img file which he asked me to compress into .zip and install. In the end I managed to install using the Amlogic software. Software is better but I still have not fully tested it.

                        One thing that bugs me is I tried to connect the console uart to my PC via a TTL to usb interface to monitor the startup but GTKterm only displayed garbled ascii. Same setup on my X96maxPlus works perfectly.

                        Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get the UART to work?

                        regards

                          No worries, the great ROM builder Superceleron has already made both a Regular AOSP firmware and an AndroidTV firmware for this device.

                            Thanks for your suggestion. I will eventually try the Superceleron version. For now i will explore further the updated software I received.

                            There is one option i really miss which is available on an older Android 7 box I own and that is the possibility of controlling most box function using a simple wireless mouse. It is currently not possible to adjust the volume or to restart the box without reverting back to the standard remote control on the current software. I think this is also true for the Superceleron installation.

                            Also for those who like to play with hardware the UART issue is now resolved. On all older boxes I have, including one based on the S905x3, the baud has to be set at 115200 whereas on this, the baud rate has to be 921600.

                            regards

                                That would be AWESOME.

                                When do you think this build will become available?
