    T8-S Plus internal HD

    Hi - I am a novice when it comes to Android and recently purchased the T8-S V2, together with a 1TB WD HDD. I have almost everything set up except the internal HDD which I fitted into the bay underneath. By using ES File Explorer, then going to LOCAL and choosing the "Storage & Reset" option, I...

    T8-S Plus Write to Storage Devices Fix - November 2016

    Just got my T8-S Plus V2 box last week and noted this problem while setting everything up. Since I'm a novice when it comes to Android systems and, in light of above, not terribly confident in trying the above fix myself (don't have SD card anyway) in case it causes problems elsewhere. Think...

    The Royal We addon

    I just recently installed this and so far so good. Quite basic compared to Genesis, which still holds the crown for me, but a viable alternative which shows promise.

    T8 firmware update from today onwards

    Point taken Silently Screaming - a balanced and objective view is always welcome on the Forums. I am no doubt influenced by the bad experience I had with a previous update, when it did not work correctly and I spent many frustrating hours correcting what I had lost. I had not at that time...

    T8 firmware update from today onwards

    I decided not to tick the box ( bit of a coward I suppose ! ) on my T8 (after June purchase) since I didn't want to lose some of my Settings, Configuration and Apps which I had installed (Showbox, Movie HD etc. ). Firmware update still worked OK. Noted that there were a couple of new Apps...

    T8 firmware update from today onwards

    I finally took the plunge recently and all went well without any problems -- you are left with a clean bear bones installation of Kodi, which still has the Wookie Repo intact. Its then just a case of installing Wookie from the Repo and then choosing which build you want (Username - FREE...

    Download Media

    The "MP3 Streams" Addon, which has a download option, is I have found the most reliable for music. I have an external HDD connected to the USB port of my T8 box and its then simply a case of going into the Settings of MP3 Streams and choosing the HDD as a download path ( it shows up as SD1...

    T8 firmware update from today onwards

    Agree wholeheartedly Dave - Rule No 1 of Updating: wait till the dust settles and then proceed with caution. Once bitten, twice shy and all that.........

    Wookie and 15.2 final

    Hi Angela - I've just done the same and noted this slight difference from the last time I updated. As you say, no need to click on OK anymore or unplug for the update to take effect. Don't think it's part of 15.2 (that's a separate update), just a streamlining of the Wookie update process, which...

    Video Addon issue on Kodi/XBMC

    OK - finally managed to solve my issue, with a bit of trial and error. If you have recently or are thinking about upgrading your router to BT Home Hub 5 (from Home Hub 3), as I did a few weeks ago, make sure you go into the settings and turn OFF the Smart Setup, as by default it is set to ON...

    Video Addon issue on Kodi/XBMC

    All Addons up to date and auto update switched on. If it was a problem with the servers, surely the same Addons would not be working perfectly on my PC? Totally puzzled at moment. Would changing Location Setting in Android make any difference? If so, could somebody tell me how to change it from...

    Video Addon issue on Kodi/XBMC

    Hi there - I'm new to the forum and a relative novice when it comes to Andriod TV boxes, having only purchased my T8 a few months ago. Background to issue is as follows: - 1. My T8 and Kodi have been working great until recently and I have been "exploring" both the Andriod interface and the...
