Parki79 0 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Hi, is this possible to install the android TV on any generic android box and be able to pin above android 5.0?
maegibbons 1287 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Hi Above android 5.0 should be fine. BUT you may have issues with the cheap boxes. I tried with an Amlogic Qbox but soon upgraded to Fire TV to save a lot of agony. Krs Mark
Parki79 0 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 Gonna use on my shield but it's for a mate. What issues did you have?
maegibbons 1287 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Hi Wrong aspect ratio, no display or display and no sound. Varies by box and stream type. Best to stick to supported hardware i.e fire tv or Android TV like the shield. The Xiomni MI box 3 is also Android TV spec and is a good 2nd choice to the Fire tv IMHO. Krs Mark
mastrmind11 722 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Have you got a link for that? http://www.mi.com/en/mibox/ https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mi-Box-Android-TV/54827138
RanmaCanada 494 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 You can use one of the cheap android boxes, but you need to ensure the firmware works properly. IE check freaktab or tvboxforums for an updated firmware that fixes the issues with these chinese boxes. Then you SHOULD be able to play everything perfectly fine. If not, you can always use the external player option and use SPMC to play everything.
