Again thanks to Geekbuying a Interesting Media Player:

We have the Kit (as in knight rider) LEDS of death along the top of the unit could be annoying to some.
As Seen above has most of what it needs so could be ok.

A95x fired up quickly and look is Neat.
With a ATV style layout and a bit of Windows11 in the background

Connected to Internet with ease,
Logged into google with 2FA all good.

Updated some apps required from Google.

All this has to be a good start in the first few minutes for a Media Player of this type, Impressed
Has been awhile since we ran up a any Media Player.

Not even sure what testers are Valid these days, but its all good fun no matter how it turns out

Lets have a look at the UI and some settings:

First Boot UI look swishy I thought and very Win11:



Installed Apps


Logged into Google all good updates etc.


System Settings:


App to Control the LEDs of death Display on Lid. easy to unplug if one does not like it, but does look swishy I thought.


No update Presently


CPU-Z


Well so far so good, appears to do as it should straight of the mark, No issues yet, no doubt there may be something.

More to come later

Like all things there was an update.
I just checked with the wrong update tool...told you its been awhile

Actually the box advised me while fiddling about there is an update.



When I went to Update it said not network was using ethernet weird,



Reconnected via Wi-Fi, still did not connect,
Did the next best thing a restart and all worked ok over wifi and update more weird stuff.



Then another update, this thing is going off its rocker with updates.



But again this Network thingy
Must be their OTA server have a Moment of WTF is going on
It mentions the version size is 0.0m, maybe they are uploading or some other techo excuse, well all good fun



After a bit it decided to update a reset and all is well, lets see what happens next

This unit being a 905w appears to be rather zippy
Its moving along very well.
I recall the first lot of 905w many moons ago, they were sluggish things

This one is a winner winner chicken dinner (so far)
