    4K movies buffering

    Do I understand correctly ? So when I stream a 4K movie and it is unwatchable (buffering, stuttering) and when I then download (with RD) the samefile first (instead of streaming), the movie will play then correctly ? Do you have fine results by doing so ?

    VIP remote copy/paste

    I have a droidbox VIP remote. I wonder if it has the function to copy/paste. Let's say : I go into Chrome, I copy a link (copying is not a problem by clicking the menu button) and I want to paste it in Add Source in File Manager. I can't manage to paste it. Is there a way to do this or is this...

    Surround sound movies

    Tnx for the info. I'll certainly give it a try, you never know. Just to be sure : if I do some tests with 2.0 HDMI cable and it doesn't fix the issue, can I leave the 2.0 cable into the box (or TV or receiver). It isn't a waste of money I mean ? If this could solve the problem (although I think...

    No, I haven't tried. I don't have 2.0 cables at home. The ones I'm using are : A) from T8 to home cinema : 1.3 (printed on the cable) B) from TV to home cinema : high speed HDMI cable (printed on the cable). No version number, but then I guess this is also 1.3 If I get me a 2.0 cable, which...

    Surround sound movies

    AC3 is working on none of the 3 boxes. I'm convinced that the T8 mini is indeed a great box, but I have no guarantee that the sound problems will be solved. I can only have 100% guarantee if I could test it at my place (by some kind of test model). But I realise this is not possible. In the...

    Surround sound movies

    I tried your selected movies. Avengers Age of Ultron sound played fine because it is in DTS. On RealMovies : Spectral played fine, because it is in AAC 5.1, the same with Magnificent Seven. Alice through the looking glass doesn't play sound, because it is in AC3 5.1. Nothing plays sound in AC3...

    Bought it in march 2015. I have the OTA updater app. When there is an update, I always update it. I'm running now build number KOT49H.20160414 test-keys. I really hope we can sorted it out. Nice Xmas to you to.

    Vip remote functions

    On the bottom of this remote (3in1, mini keyboard), there are 4 coloured keys (red, green, yellow, blue). On all four, I assigned functions to it (TV functions). My question : under the ON/OFF button at the top, there are 4 keys (forward, backward) which I don't use. Can I assign also other...

    Surround sound movies

    Excellent idea David. I really appreciate it (that's one of those reasons I like Droidbox so much ;)) . Today I checked again all settings, particularly on home cinema, but I can't find anything which seems strange. As the AC3-passthrough works fine on laptop, I assume there is nothing wrong...

    I did, but it doesn't help. AC3 works well when playing via laptop instead of T8.

    Surround sound movies

    @David Savage I have a problem with my T8 and home cinema. Done the installation as described above and 5.1 sound works great on DTS. But I have no sound when playing AC3 5.1 movies (that's Dolby Digital I've read). Regarding settings I've tried about everything, also the home cinema supports...

    Surround sound movies

    I didn't noticed there was a general post on Surround Sound . It will help me. Just 2 things to be 100% sure : - cabling : so one HDMI cable from TV to receivers HDMI output and a second HDMI cable from T8 to receivers HDMI input. That's it. OK ? - setting number of channels : althoug I will...

    Surround sound movies

    I know MorePower (which is very good), didn't knew Maverick and Tombraider. I will check. As I am learning the surround matter step by step, is DTS then a higher level than Dolby ? So better sound quality ?

    Do you think 100 mbps is fast enough to get DTS HD ?
