Hi Clarkss12
well its surprised to me that your VC-1 files not played
but might be some of format/codec/etc., were different type but mine is OK(as I gave you my some of codec infos on previous pages)

as all those files wont played AML Boxes(before and still AML 905X4)
except Tanix and HK1 now played!

meanwhile Box need a good/stable/proper etc., firmware asap

Note;Remote controller kinda bad!

I noticed that your VC-1 codec files that you posted were different than mine, but that is no big deal.
Actually, this box performs quite well and does everything I expect it to do. Everyone uses these boxes differently.

seems that this VC-1 files problematic to play it in every Box

-my main and only one issue(at present) the box never goes OFF!
I'v selected on the RM and "Power Off" and Box Re-Started after 10 sec.

it does first OFF and than re-opened!

I do not find any proper/releated menu function to fix this

who is the manufacturer? or are they visited Frektab!
come on guys where are you hahhaaa

Nice Job on the U-Tube Review !!!!!

Picture quality on HDR 10 that was Spectacular !!!!

You are still Testing VC-1 playback i see in Kodi Interface
Looked like that was an VC-1 MKV INterlaced ...
In the old days with Kodi turn off Hardware decoding Worked/ helped with

Have you ever tested Different Media PLayer?

Getting off Thread Topic
My Bad

This Box is performing quite well!!!!

Could use some Tweaks OTA ...

THanks for the review!!

Happy Testing

I have tried different players, but none of the will play the VC-1 codec under the Amlogic SoC. I have to use a server that transcodes those files........
Yes, sometimes turning off the hardware decoding does work under Kodi with an SoC that is powerful enough to transcode it. I have not tried it with this box, but it MAY work, I had forgotten about that solution under Kodi.

my VC-1 files is 1080p - Frame-rate; 59,xxx and its plays OK with "MX Player" BUT failed to play with KODI !!
Kodi opened the file than freeze/stop/lagy so on.... so,KODI doesnt play

BTW Default device Media Player;it plays! without any issue

But might be frame-rate;23/24.xxx wont play(I did not try yet)

Note;might be KODI will play if you disabled/off HW+ decoding!
I prefer Kodi for audio only
I prefer MX for video only,but audio is not good too

++

and awaiting firmware/update !

You are absolutely correct!!! Playing Back to the Future 2 encoded with the VC-1 video codec plays very well... There is a small **hint** of jerkiness..... but, very watchable......... This is playing on a 4k TV.

I got this box but looks like google play store does not have all the apps. I tried searching for brave browser snd nothing came up. When searched from google it says not compatible with your device. TV box has android 11. Not sure how to install it.

This Box uses Android TV OS Build

It is/ has a different version of Play Store...

So just use preinstalled APKPure app
Search Brave
Install

Should be good to go

Testing now

Happy Testing

Keep in mind guys;dont change the version of "PlayStore" because of the installed new version doesnt compatible with yr device!

So,select "ignore"!(for the PlayStore installation)

Since last year to now on;seems that all Andro-10 and 11 Boxes has little bit problematic!
Andro-9 is OK(with Root or w/o Root)
But Andro-10/11(with pre-rooted or not)kinda problematic!

I hvnt any clear idea for upcoming such as "Andro-12" has more stable&efficieny then 10&11 ???

I am looking forward to Android 12, because it is claimed to support automatic framerate switching....

Ha ha ha

FYI
I'v already "sold" my device !

awaiting a new Box
BUT where it should be a real "NEW" one as well hahhaaa

[bluesmanuk]

All eyes seem to be on the new RK3688 SOC, which from what has been seen so far is a beast out of the box and a quantum leap ahead.

Open source development on the S905X4 is reportedly likely dead on arrival because of the bootloader being locked (the next S912 as somebody put it), so may perhaps not be as popular as hoped.

[bergamesk]

AML kinda dead
RK is still a question mark??

at least Shield always in trendy!

BTW since a long time;look at the "TV" units! all with Smart-TV such a Andro or Tizen or WEBOS or bla bla bla
hereafter who care "TV-Box"!

Cheap Chinese Boxes....
