Beelink X2 TV Box and netflix?

[lucifir]

I am thinking of getting this device(http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_161719.html), but not sure if netflix will work??
Anyone got 1 that can comment on whether netflix works or not??

Netflix should work on there. Be sure to get version 3.7.1 and don't EVER update it. Other than that, the specs on the device looks cool. Is there an equivalent device available locally?

 

[lucifir]

have not checked locally as yet, as the price on that site looks decent, so thought I might give them a try
The problem is that I installed netflix on my kodi install and it does not work, so I do not want the same problem with this, as the main purpose of this device will be for netflix, and having kodi as well will be a bonus

Cool. I can't give you feedback on Kodi, but that's the version of Netflix I'm using, on Unotelly.

Netflix will work at 1750kbps bitrate @ 720x480 resolution
But not in 720/1080p
Overall video playback on Android will be excellent.

The HPH NT-V6B device also has Linux support
and Linux development is coming along nicely, will be able to run Netflix in a browser at 720/1080p after some developers port Chrome with VPU support, Kodi Linux already runs 1080p videos smoothly.

So if Netflix quality is not a big problem, the box you mentioned will work just fine.

thanks for the info xbmcfan. Not too phased about quality right now. Just want to get it working(will complain about quality after that ).
I had a roku that just died and will not power up all of a sudden.
So I need a new device that I am hoping can work the same/similar.
Sounds like I may have to use a browser to access netflix, which I am not keen on
