Although it has Widevine L1 certificate, it does not have Netflix certification (like Dune HD Premier 4k Pro) so it will play only in SD quality, not HD nor UHD, from mentioned streaming services. Btw, it is also NOT advertised as a "Streaming box", so definitely no go... RE: Best Kodi Media Player Options 2024 - hjames19 - 2024-09-18 Yeah I knew the SK1 didn’t advertise it but I wasn’t sure if it did and it just wasn’t listed. Thanks! Based on picture quality will there be much of a difference in the boxes listed when streaming digital media from my HDD? I got a Seagate IronWolf Pro 16tb hard drive on the way. RE: Best Kodi Media Player Options 2024 - mrcleeo - 2024-09-18 what about the x96 x10 pro? how can you tell thats a pro or not? ahhh 8gb is the pro version from what i read nm it doesnt support FEL RE: Best Kodi Media Player Options 2024 - Sholander - 2024-09-18 (2024-09-18, 15:09)hjames19 Wrote: Based on picture quality will there be much of a difference in the boxes listed when streaming digital media from my HDD?

Nothing new; it has been present over several CE updates. Unsure when it started. After a quick skip forward/back once, audio & video get in synch & remain that way. But, still a minor annoyance, mostly w/UHD rips. RE: Best Kodi Media Player Options 2024 - Cinephile - 2024-09-22 Look what the cat dragged in!

I don't strictly have need for it, but I'd prefer as streamlined a setup as I can have (bit of a hobby, if I'm honest). RE: Best Kodi Media Player Options 2024 - hdmkv - 2024-09-23 Couldn't find a single WebDAV guide that had everything you'd need, so created one here (PDF)... using either Synology or QNAP. Should be similar with other networked servers. ---------- (2024-09-22, 15:02)destroyer2omega Wrote: Yep i also notice audio sync issues with uhd remuxes on external hds. Thanks for the tip gonna try that when I watch a remux again.Seeing several mentions of audio synch issues. The solution suggested is HDMI from CoreELEC box connected directly to TV, then via ARC/EARC from it to AVR. May try it, or experiment with advancedsettings. RE: Best Kodi Media Player Options 2024 - nowwhereman - 2024-09-23 Is the Homatics Plus still being recommended as the best player for Blu-ray collections? How does it compare to the Shield in terms of speed? RE: Best Kodi Media Player Options 2024 - hdmkv - 2024-09-23 No, not blanketly. Homatics has noticeably slower performance than Shield. But, it is a do-it-all player for local & online streaming needs. See post #1 for recommendations depending on your needs. RE: Best Kodi Media Player Options 2024 - nowwhereman - 2024-09-23 Are any of the recommended players faster than the Shield? I already have a Shield Pro, I'd like an upgrade that isn't a downgrade in power. RE: Best Kodi Media Player Options 2024 - hdmkv - 2024-09-23 Fire TV Cube 3. If gaming is also a need, then Shield is better. Main downside to Cube 3 is Amazon's cluttered ad-filled user interface. ------------------------------ (2024-09-12, 22:43)hdmkv Wrote: Okay, taking another one for the team ! Ordered a S928X-J (not -K) box to test.So, think I'm done testing 'untested' boxes for a while . The X96 X10, while not as bad as the Kinhank G1, has different problems even if it does some things well. Did my testing below only with CoreELEC. Started running it off a mSD card, then did install to internal to run off the box's internal flash drive. The Good:
The Bad:
The Ugly: (see video clip below)
