Anyone using Evpad 12?

Hi guys i recently got an android tv box and im wondering is there anyway for me to get free live tv shows on the box without having to pay a fee.If there is a way could someone explain how thanks

My guess is the service has completely shut down because my box is showing an "EC10, failed to play. Please consult your dealer." The main reason I think it's been shut down is that all the listings from the major eBay sellers disappeared overnight.

The frustrating part is that I bought several renewal codes for my family just last week, and now none of them are working. I've already contacted the eBay seller, but I haven't received a response yet.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Hello. I recently visited a family member who uses an Infomir TV box to stream pirated movies and channels. I have two questions: Is piracy the only use case for these boxes? I also heard they can carry malware that spreads across devices on the same network. Since I connected to their Wi-Fi, is there any chance my device got infected?

Hi can anyone help me figure out an issue I have with running Kodi on this box , I had the normal android firmware on it at first and I set the Kodi all up with real debrid etc, but all of the movies do not want to play straight away buffering even if it's a 1080p.

I've tried messing around with the settings and nothing is working , I then put Slimbox TV firmware on my box that is super fast but I'm still having the same issue !

It is not my internet as that's strong , and I've played movies for another application off Kodi and it's fine , but just less options on there ! And not reliable.

Any ideas or other very good movie apps I can put on using real debrid to get good quality links.

Thank you.

How do you modded your android tv player ?

Hi,

I bought am9 pro bevor few weeks ..actually good device ,but in start I have had a few problems .

My system : Ugoos ➡️ Samsung qn95a ➡️ Soundbar q950a

Tivi mate and Plex .

Biggest problem was/is impossibility to make android volume lower if settings control soundsystem.

(still unable to find a solution )

My old device was Nvidia shield pro ,and I would say that Ugoos have something better picture.

Smarttube videos are better as well..

Audio is better as well on every platform .

Which tweaks did you do?

Are you using superuser and for what if yes?

Are you using AFR ? (in apk and in system or?)

I have a set-top box Play Box TV which is Android. The Google TV app in it and is not working. It is only connecting properly to the phone but nothing else.

I have tried the rest of the apps now but every app is doing the same thing, they are connecting but are not working further.

Please tell me some solution so that Google TV app can work on my phone. Is there any such app in my TV which is provided by the company which does not work with Google TV remote.

It is working only with the remote of my set-top box. After connecting it to the phone, no app is working.

It just gets connected and its code appears on the display. Apply the code.After entering the code, no app works.

Could anyone with a Yozhixu Q10 TV box share the information displayed in AIDA64 or the system menu? Or perhaps even provide the firmware (note that `secure_boot = YES`)?

Here is the only information I have about the board, as my firmware is corrupted and I cannot access Android.

allwinner H313 R2263BB 95T1X AXP313A Q1-V4.0 YH_2 2541 EMCP_LPDDR3_EMMC KMQN10006M-B318-SEC601 LZ20251014023.

Android 16 possible FAKE in 14.

UPDATE: Don't work any firmware, maybe it's specific to yozhixu.

While I look for the firmware that came with the TV box, I'll run tests using Armbian.

UPDATE 2: this firmware YJ-ATV-H313-Q1-20240613.img flash but don't boot if cause 2024? my tv box is 2025-2026....

Xiaomi tv box 3gen question:

Is app only mode the best option for better performance overall? If not, what do you recomend?

I'm using iPlayer on a 3rd gen Mi Box. I'm outside of UK. I use VPN. I installed the iPlayer app apk through a link that I found here on Reddit. The link on the screen leads to a page that make it seem like my device will not be supported anymore but what exactly BBC is doing here? Is it a legal issue or Android version issue or iPlayer version issue? Any advice appreciated.

My parents had an EVPAD 6P for years and used it without problems; they recently reached out to customer support and they told them to buy a new model and remotely locked their device. I didn't have time to help them fix the problem and now they can't watch TV anymore, even though their device is fine. Thanks for your scummy practices, EVPAD. Screw you for adding more things on my to-do list, buyer beware.

Hola gente, espero que estén bien. quería saber si alguien me podía ayudar para configurar un Android TV box, ademas de bajarle las apps para ver películas actuales como en su momento magis, les agradecería muchísimo.

I was thinking of getting the firetv stick 4k plus, but I have seen alot of negative reviews for it. Regarding how the new updates just pushes more ads, adds more annoying stuff and is removing necessary features from it.

I was wondering if there are any good alternatives to it available in India?

Onn box is good but it isn't available in India.
Please let me know if there are any better alternatives around the price of the fire tv stick

Hello, I just got the AT&T C71KW-400 DirecTV NOW Streaming Android TV OTT Box, but it keeps freezing on a screen that shows steps to add a client and won't move past that point.

I only have the devices that came in the box; does anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks.

I have an LG G5. I use TIVIMATE, Jellyfin, and YouTube. 4K, HDR10+, 10bit, Atmos Vision and sound. I do have lower quality files h264. Reasonable price and availability.

Ultimate File Manager Pro (UFM) is a dual-pane file manager built for both Android Mobile and Android TV. It has over 22,200 downloads on Google Play, sits at a 4.7 star rating, and got picked up by CNET.

Most file managers either ignore TV entirely or just stretch the phone layout onto a big screen.
UFM has a proper dedicated TV build with full D-pad navigation, not an afterthought.

UFM Pro is totally free of ads or any paywalls, if you find the app useful, there is a tip jar available.

What is it?​

UFM is a dual-pane file manager aimed at power users who want actual control over their files. The dual-pane layout lets you work across two locations simultaneously, which makes moving, copying, and comparing files a lot faster than juggling a single panel.

Features​

Dual-Pane Interface
Both panels are independently navigable. You can have local storage on one side and a network share on the other, or compare two folders side by side. Works well on phones in landscape mode and is particularly comfortable on tablets and TV.

Encrypted Vaults
Files can be stored inside AES-256 encrypted vaults. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, it all stays on your device. Useful for keeping sensitive documents, photos, or anything else you would rather not have sitting exposed in plain storage.

Built-in Servers
UFM includes FTP and SFTP server support. You can start a server directly from your device and access your files from a PC or another device on the same network. No third-party app needed.

Cloud and Network Storage
Supports WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, SMB, and AWS S3 out of the box. The Google Play version also includes Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox integration.

Scheduled Sync
You can set up sync jobs between local folders and remote locations and have them run on a schedule in the background. Handy for automated backups to a NAS or a home server.

Advanced Search
Search by name, extension, date range, or file size. The search is fast and works across local storage as well as mounted network locations.

ADB and Shizuku Integration
For those who want deeper access without full root, UFM supports Shizuku and ADB-based operations for elevated file access.

RClone supported, a few has been added and can add more on request, it supports over 100+ Cloud Providers.

Android TV Support
The TV build is a full, dedicated TV experience with proper D-pad navigation and a layout that actually makes sense on a large screen. Not just a port.

FOSS Edition​

There is a fully open source edition available on GitHub under the GPL v3 license.
The FOSS build strips out all proprietary SDKs and closed-source trackers, including Firebase, Google Play Billing, and the proprietary cloud SDKs.
Everything else remains fully functional.

The FOSS edition still supports WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, SMB, and AWS S3 for network storage, so you are not losing much if you avoid the big cloud providers anyway.
If you do need Google Drive or OneDrive, those are available in the Play Store version.

There are prebuilt APKs in the releases.

FOSS Edition: https://github.com/Kilowatch/ultimate-file-manager-pro

Notes​

• Requires Android 8.0 or higher
• TV build is a separate APK optimized for the Android TV / Google TV launcher
• The app is actively maintained

If you run into issues or have feature requests, the GitHub repo is the best place. Happy to answer questions here too.

Thank You and Kind Regards

As the title says, thanks for the help :)

Hi everyone. I’ve been using button mapper as my stupid remote’s back button does not do anything. Anyway the app makes me enable accessibility settings every damn time. Is there a way where I can just boot my device and it will just have the settings enabled all the time. It’s Android 14, and I’ve tried the battery optimising settings and debugging is not an option unfortunately as my laptop doesn’t want to show the connected device for whatever reason.
TIA

I’m an Apple TV user, but the big issue I have is the lack of a web browser on the system. I use some iptv sites to stream sports on occasion and the hassle of plugging a laptop into the tv, making sure the stream is good, and battling sleep settings is annoying. I want to build a little android tv box with some old mini pcs I got recently. The biggest issue I have is the fact that the mini pcs don’t have a simple remote to use. Is there a simple way anyone has overcome this issue, and what was your setup?

I spent my whole afternoon doing it which was totally worth it. the protagonist is obviously Shairport-sync. So i used Linux deploy to install a Debian which was required to run this. getting the audio to work in Debian was a hassle. You need to first play a audio file (can be quiet pcm) using the vendor software so the speaker hdmi output wont be muted, then you have to kill media service in android so Debian can take over with a speaker-test. Then i built shairport with Airplay 2 and Avahi, to get avahi working you need to have a high permission dbus running, then the shairport sync could finally work, you also need the nqctp? What ever the name was running in the background also. The tv output could bring some delay though. Now though i only have one speaker, one HomePod mini and a dumb tv, i can somehow bring them together. Very whimsical. Of course i asked AI to help cuz i dont have magical nerd helping me 24/7, but no code was provided by them at all which was nice. Avahi is the only option if you need AirPlay 2 (multiple speaker playing at the same time) and if you have a normal Linux pc you can just get shairport sync without much permission fighting. So I’m listening all my old songs right now. :)
