I don't really take a note of what I stream: it might be low or high quality stream from either internet or local network. Same goes for downloads. They could be small or big streams, 1, 2 or more at a time. I use Open VPN for Android as a VPN client. This is Kodi in the works with usual popular...

Hi, and thanks for your reply. What you are trying to say is not really a correct solution. IF the box IS overheating when used heavily, than the problem is with cooling chips inside. If you were advising the same any computer user and were trying to say that they should keep closing windows...

Update: I opened it and noticed that there no radiators at all! CPU gets quite hot (60+ degrees easily, hard to touch) very quickly. I stuck few small radiators on it (bought for Pi in the past) and will see how it goes.

Hi Guys, I noticed that Kodi on the box above (in Android, Kodi 17.3/17.4) tends to crash when there are multiple downloads happening / video playing. From my IT experience this might be related to hardware overheating/being used at 100% capacity. And indeed box is quite hot usually. Would you...

Yep, i know it, use it, it's my best friend. Electrical tape in various colours and shapes all the way ;-) Was worth asking though!

Cheers guys. The main show stopper with LibreElec for me is inability to have both VPN on and access to local network. I believe that this is quite popular these days to have NAS device storing all your private content, pictures etc. Most popular VPN clients dont allow for tunnel splitting and...

Hi Guys, As per the title. The blue light (Power button) on the front panel is quite bright and a bit annoying when watching something at a night time. Is there a programmatic way to switch it off / dim? Or we left with sticking something on top it... :(

Hi Guys, I understand that DroidBox comes with both options. While this is nice to have an option, running OpenElec takes away the flexibility which fully blown Android OS gives. What your choice and why? I myself would not want to switch from one to the other and therefore sticking with...

Update: It seemed to help with random rebooting of the whole box, but Kodi errored twice over 2 days: "Kodi has stoppped" error once, and froze to blank screen too (had to hard reset the box). While this is an improvement, than still nothing like rock solid OpenElec i was running on Pi, which...

Update: was advised over IM chat on the website to flash the device with the latest (July) build. Apparently it's supposed to fix the issue. Will keep you posted guys, and thanks for all responses.

Hello, I'm new here and new to DroidBox. Long time Pi + OpenElec user though. Just bought T8-S Plus v2 and would be quite happy with if it wasn't rebooting randomly. Typically 5-6 times a day. I use it pretty much in vanilla state with Kodi 17.3 (or 17.4 now, testing if this helps). From...
