4k M8 OTT TV box help!

[Tony Laundrie]

I also bought this box recently and do not have some of the addons to watch movies (Primewire, Exodus) so I need to figure out how to drop them into Kodi.

Thanks for the reply. Tried moving the box (It was well ventilated in the first place) and tried running a small fan next to it but no joy :-(

Probably the internal heat shunting arrangements for the CPU/GPU are inadequate, or even nonexistent. Or even the SoC or RAM or something are substandard B or C grade components, and doesn't perform to manufacturer A grade specs.

These things are often just thrown together by unknown manufacturers, using the absolute cheapest sources of parts they can get, and have very little QA. I saw some ladies assembling cheapo Android tablets in a shopping mall once.

Good luck figuring it all out.

Ok I guess that the question I need to ask first is where can I get these addons for Kodi.

Hi my box came fully loaded with kodi and all the apps on there but I found this which seems a pretty good guide - http://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/a-newbies-guide-to-mx-android.754362/page-48

You have to install them yourself either from repository or usb, I'd suggest repository. Here's a link to a website that will show you what you need to do http://theandroidbox.com/category/tutorials/

Ok, can anyone tell me why I am having issues logging into Netflix? When I try I keep getting an error message saying unable to connect at the time, try again... Any advice is appreciated.

Quick update on my kodi box to those that responded my box was faulty ! Used an old desktop and set kodi up on there and so far so good.

I believe Netflix will only run on approved devices. Suggest you contact their customer service, as to what they support.

 

[Andrew Cole]

Yep... Kodi works on pretty much everything.

Hi all,

I've recently bought this new box and having nothing but problems with it. I'm quite new to this world to be fair and I have no real idea what I'm looking for. The box ix pretty basic so any tips you can give me on how I can get the best outta the box (apps, .apk files, etc...) will be very helpful. I've tried following the youtube vids but these are pretty dated and the links they recommend are pretty much all defunct now?

Well you have bought quite an old box -which is the one I have ,still .Your problem is that it will struggle with what you seem to want and it is quite under powered for today but you can do some things to help, if you only watch the latest videos you will get sites that run but in this world every day the addons can drop off ,what I suggest is that you watch youtube videos for tweaks as these help the box run better and visit forums to see what is changing ,I have found that in general it is waste of time asking questions because they have answered the same question a thousand times .Watch the tutorials they offer and if you want to install then a guy called Michael Seo gives the easiest and best help but the pixilated pictures are sadly par for the course on a lot of sports links but there are some free good ones and you should get good films but do the tweaks and it will help

 

[Andrew Cole]

I have found that in general it is waste of time asking questions because they have answered the same question a thousand times...

Amen to that!

there can be a few things ,You can start by going to maintenance tools and clearing "cache" and "purge packages" .It could be that you are trying to watch something your ISP is blocking or is Geoblocked that means you cannot receive them where you are unless you use a VPN which will make it seem that you are in a different country

 

[Richard1s]

Thank you for your above comments. I clear my "cache" and "purge packages" every night before I go to bed. Tried it again and those comments above are still coming up. Now they are coming up on different items like ADDONS, TV Shows, etc. But it seems I can still bring up everything like movies, tv shows and so on. I just cannot figure why the pharse "Movie Vault error. Check the log for errors".
Thanks so much for your help. Keep in mind I have had this box for about 2 months and the pharse started about 3 weeks ago.And I have little knowledge re the box. Any other help comments would be deeply appreciated. Thanks Richard

 

[mikedt]

If it's Exodus, are you in the UK or Ireland, if so could be the illegal pirate sites and streams it uses are being blocked by your ISP, e.g. Sky, BT, Virgin, TalkTalk, etc. You'll need to use a VPN. Or possibly they've been shut-down or seized by the feds.

No, I am on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, Gulfport is the town. Like I said I have little knowledge re the box. Thanks for your help. Anymore suggestions? Richard

Good Evening. I have the OTT M96X. I had it since March and have been impressed up until last week. Everything has become really laggy. Apps report no response and take forever to open. Skype has become almost impossible to use as video has become unstable choppy and pixelated, I have a task killer and cache killer installed but they make no Difference. However, videos play OK and KODI is generally OK. If I was on windoze I would say ram and CPU are at 100%. Box is running warm but not hot. It is Android 6 and Jarvis. An 8 gig flash is installed. I have spent days trying to figure this out, and short of a factory reset I dont know what to do, Any suggestions please
