@Icemanbrfc: Do you have problems reading the 3.5" drive even if it is the only drive connected to the USB ports? What size and make is the drive?

 

[Icemanbrfc]

1TB Samsung. Mains powered. I haven't tried taking the other drive out

 

[Icemanbrfc]

Also MX player has taken all my series out of my series folder and listed them in Alphabetical order. My folder is series, inside that I have folders by series eg Arrow and in that folder the episodes.

Also MX player takes at least 5 to 10 seconds to load the content. 1st a black screen, then after a while the content appears

MX Player

I thought you were an XBMC man?

@Icemanbrfc: The 2.5" drive might be drawing too much power or interfering with the second drive. Just try to connect the 3.5" drive on its own.

 

[Icemanbrfc]

Yeh but my wife uses the drives so has no interest in XBMC

Try XMBC to play them?

 

[Icemanbrfc]

Never mind. I was busy drooling while streaming some NBA and forgot about XBMC.

XBMC will generate a beautiful media wall for her

Why folder search?

Use the 4K player ... Simple, my better half likes that.
Also download Mizuu from Google Playstore to index your content with metadata.

Nah its all good. XBMC displays both drives and in the correct order. But wife needs to wait now. Busy watching NBA

Btw AV Supply, does the MXQ come with wifi and bluetooth or just wifi?

 

[d4zza]

I think I'm being dof. I can't find where to manually specify the DNS on the box :/

 

[Icemanbrfc]

Ok. HDMI in, set to auto detect. However, won't set me to 1080p. I have to manually set this each time. Any ideas my peeps. Lol

You need to go to the settings from the launcher, then advanced settings. Select either wifi or ethernet. Then you need to 'long press' on the network name and select modify. On the popup tune it to show advanced settings.

Each time you reboot?

 

[Icemanbrfc]

Yeh basically.

 

[Icemanbrfc]

Not a big problem to manually force it, but it would be cool to have auto detect work

 

[JvanD]

I reckon its overscan ...

What do you guys use for news channels eg eNCA, BBC World, CNN, Al Jazeera etc While Livestation has all these channels via flash on its website the app require a sub. Roku has Nowhere TV which works well.
