Skyworth Binge Android TV box

Well, we have a root cause for the sound issue. It appears to be a bug in the chipset vendor library that was left off the compile for the Google signing. We're looking at solutions as well as downgrade options.

HDMI CEC is another issue we'll add to the list. CEC though is tricky and support for some systems can break support for others. It's one standard but everybody does it differently.
 
Hi guys, after the recent update on my Skyworth box, my Netflix was uninstalled. What version is compatible with Skyworth box again?

Hi everyone

Since the update my DSTV now app is giving a "video authorization error" when trying to play something, Is anyone else experiencing this problem? or have a possible solution? I have tried to remove and reinstall the dstv now app in order to ensure i have the latest version, This didn't help

I've had this problem before. It's a DSTv Now issue, and there doesn't seem to be a fixed root cause as to why it happens. Sometimes it goes away, sometimes you have to ask their support to reset the authorization token on their end.
 
Thanks for the reply and information, Thats interesting that it seemed to only start doing it after the update, however i will contact their chat support and see what they can assist with. Much appreciated
 
I Just got a response from DSTV Chat an hour later, They cannot assist and had very "basic" troubleshooting like check your internet.... basically automated response. Any other suggestions?
 
Is there any way to downgrade to the previous version just to nullify that?
 
I stumbled upon an app called JustWatch in the playstore it appears to be streaming content search engine. It seems to sync with Netflix and Amazon Prime.

If this app works with the Netflix app from the website it could be used as a way to navigate Netflix's catalogue without the need of a mouse/keyboard.

Unfortunately I don't currently have an active sub with Netflix to test it out.

Hi, I had the same problem with this. After my update it prompted to change the device's name, which I think is the root cause. I had to de register the device and then register it again, this sorted the problem for me.

We don't have a root cause for the CEC issue yet, it likely relates to an implementation form the chipset vendor side and at the moment they aren't responding to our requests very well.
 
Hi guys/gals,

My skyworth android box just got updated to Android P. My casting had stopped working.

Did anybody experience this issue?

If so, did you find a solution.

Thank you.
