The reason you get a viewport is to crop the 4K display to fit the size of the launcher. This is done in all and had boxes with the exception of the Ugoos models that has the ability to display true 4K display, but what it does it makes everything on the screen very tiny. So it has to be cropped. So what is happening is that it's playing in 4K in the background cropped into either a 1080p frame.
@@tvboxstop Thanks for the answer! You do a great job, congratulations! Your channel is a reference for me when it comes to TVs boxes! Ah, I would like to inform you something: now in CE (nightly version) wifi and bluetooth work and it is not necessary to use an adapter!
Thanks for the review. I bought one after a number of years of being with X96 MAX+, it did the job but suffered from overheating which caused crashes, it didn't have Google's approval, and also Android 9... After a week with the new box I am very happy. There are occasional crashes but I can't point to it being a overheat or software issues/bugs, the CPU sensor is disabled. I tried to run many files that are in both DOLBY/HDR modes. There are sometimes problems with sound that he does not know how to translate them well, in many cases the sound is not synchronized with the movie in the MX PLAYER player. I use VLC, I don't know what sound format it translates to. Some of the DOLBY ATMOS files are activated, I saw that in streaming services like AMAZON PRIME it works, DOLBY VISION+ATMOS. - I sent them an email and they replied that they know about the problems and will try to solve them in the next update, which Google is delaying its approval. - I wanted to know if I am running HDR10+ files in HDR mode, my TV has no HDR10+ message on the side. What mode does he run it on?
Hello friend, do you know anything about an update for this box? Have you been able to speak with the brand to find out what plans they have to correct the issue of Dolby vision always on or a possible update to Android 12? Thanks in advance
Thank you so much! Just one question: does it allow sideloading of external apps/APK files from the internal browser or any other procedure? Maybe it's a silly question, but this would be my first TV box, and I'm very keen on buying this one!
Yes you can sideload APKs directly from APK app stores and from file stored on external storage. Some certified models require that you copy the APK onto its internal storage before sideloading. I you can install APKs directly from external storage also.
I know this box has a problem were you have to choose whether you want HDR10 or Dolby Vision but that doesn't bother me because my tv doesn't support Dolby Vision but I would like to know if the box automatically switches between HDR and SDR based on the content you are watching or will it be HDR or SDR always? I would also like to know if the box supports refresh rate switching for apps like Kodi. For example: if the box is set to 60hz will it automatically switch to 23.976hz when you play a movie on Kodi provided you have the setting to enable refresh rate switching on within Kodi?
The box does not feature auto frame rate switching so that is an issue for you. And it does not feature adaptive HDR either so HDR is always on. You may need to look elsewhere.
I have a Kinhank G1. I agree with you that the Dolby Vision / HDR and sound settings aren't properly done. Hopefully Kinhank (SDMC) will release an update to correct this. That being said, what sold the G1 for me was that it is certified (licensed) and able to play HD for TH-cam, Prime, Netflix etc. Most cheap android media players won't do that. It makes all the world of difference to be able to stream HD videos. Yes, the Ethernet isn't gigabit, and it only has USB 2... but then again, you don't need gigabit to stream 4K, and USB 3, yes, it would be nice to have, but it's not the end of the world. The G1 also has a micro SD port, which is nice to have to expand storage, although 32Gigs of main storage is pretty decent. Price-wise, it's a good deal.
In the video he only mentioned surround sound 5.1 support only when Dolby Vision is activated. My TV didn't have Dolby Vision so I will have HDR10 selected. Does this mean I won't get 5.1 surround sound audio? And how does having HDR always on affect SDR content?
يعد جهاز KinHank G1 أفضل لأنه يحتوي على وحدة معالجة مركزية أفضل مع أداء سرعات الساعة، ويدعم Dolby Vision وAV1، ويعمل بنظام Android 11. يحتوي جهاز KM2 Deluxe على وحدة معالجة مركزية أقدم، على الرغم من أن سرعة ساعة وحدة المعالجة المركزية هي نفسها، ولا يدعم Dolby Vision أو AV1، ويعمل بنظام Android 10. كما توقف دعم البرامج الثابتة لجهاز KM2 deluxe.
Hi. Is there 5.1 audio when HDR10 is activated? In the video you only mention 5.1 audio when the Dolby Vision is activated. My TV only has HDR10 so i want to make sure it will work with my surround sound system. I can use the optical output if necessary.
Surround sound audio depends on if the video file is encoded with it. A video file can be HDR but not have surround sound audio. The box can handle 5.1 and 7.1 from self hosted videos and from Netflix and other the services.
Hi nice vidio may i ask.i have purchased thiis box and most of my sideload apps appear in portrait mode not landscape set orientation does not change them to landscape any help appreciated
Will I be able to install a VPN app from the Play Store and run it using this box? Thanks. Thanks also for answering below a question about side loading apks. This was very important for me to know.
Sim, você pode instalar o APKpure, mas a interface pode apresentar erros ao instalar aplicativos na Android TV. Eu recomendo que você instale o AptoideTV ou a versão regular do Aptoide como a melhor opção.
In the future, can you please test whether the box has a powerful enough usb port by plugging in an unpowered external HDD. I've come to suspect that a fair number of them don't have enough juice running through their ports.
On each of my boxes I usually use a 1 TB M.2 SSD enclosure and they work great all the time. If you are using a motorized laptop size hard drive, or full-size HDD you will have to use the adapter cable that also has a separate adapter for it.
Ihave found in Ali express KinHank G1 with only Amlogic S905X4 but less 25$ YOU THINK IS GOOD TO BUY or S905X4 J deserve 25 $ more ? not gonna use for gaming I have console and decent PC for gaming / its real 4 K cuz i see on Aida 64 1080 FHD ?
Basta baixar o CoreELEC do site CoreELEC. Flash para um pen drive ou cartão SD. Abra o drive no seu PC e você verá uma pasta de árvore de dispositivos. Dentro dessa pasta, localize o arquivo SC2 S905X4 dtb. Copie o arquivo para o diretório principal e renomeie-o para dtb.img. O mesmo processo se aplica ao EmuELEC.
That's a complicated separate video. You have to install EmuELEC via SD card, run the operating system off the SD card, then upload your retro gaming ROMs to the SD card.
I need the password developer please. My G1 stays always with 480 p . Never stays in 1080p. I put in 1080p but when a hturnoff or restart the box, the letter of box remain treble.
It is better simply because it has a faster chipset, and it has more connecting peripherals than the Mi-box s. One USB port with no ethernet LAN port or optical audio port is a NO NO
