Hey guys, just found my Minix box after my move, and was wondering if it's worth using again after a year, lost in boxes. I updated to Lollipop already, but not too sure how Kodi or other apps are performing on the box nowadays. Any advice/opinions would help.. Thx..
 
Nothing from nobody?! No suggestions or ideas which could get my box running to the best it can with its platform? I'm mainly just interested in watching movies through Kodi..

I just installed the latest Kodi "Matrix" and it works perfectly so far. As a matter of fact, all my currently installed apps on android 10 are working on Neo x8 h-plus on lollipop. I can't complain at all.
 
Hey guys, thx.. Yes Villa, I still have 18.4.. I just got back to the box tho this week.. I'll set it up and see what I can find regarding how it's functioning.. Hopefully the "apps" are still able to work and I can find some good links still.. Any good repository suggestions? (y)

Hi - first time post. I acquired a Minix X8-h plus for free and am trying to set it up as a secondary streaming box in a bedroom. I've flashed it successfully with Lollipop as per instructions here, and installed Kodi 19.4 on it no problems. However, I can't seem to get it to work quite as I want. Three things specifically:

1. The box will auto-switch the display frame rate if I use the (default?) app 4k Movie Player, but despite 'change display refresh rate' being switched to 'on start/stop' in Kodi I can't get it to play. So everything plays back at a display rate of 60fps, causing horrible judder.

2. Some of the streaming I want to do is from F1TV, which sends streams at 1080p50. I've installed official and unofficial apps for this, as well as a Kodi plugin, and none of them play a 1080p50 stream smoothly. There is constant slowdown/speedup. Is this because the box just isn't capable of smooth 1080p50 output? The streams are better, though still not great, if I lower them to 720p50.

3. The default players (4k movie and mx player) don't seem to like AC3 5.1 over HDMI - I just get no audio output. The only audio codec they seem to play is AAC. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance!
