Looks like I now have the standby black screen issue on my 1800e.... Was working fine before, but now it is not. Hopefully will be a fix for this soon..... MyGica fix this and all should be good. FBN

Good to know. FBN

Used a USB for patch and update to 5.1. FBN

As I recall the root patch froze during the installation. I pulled the power connector on the back and inserted it again after about 10 seconds or so. The unit powered up to the home screen, I checked to see if the unit was rooted and it was. FBN

I finally got around to updating my 1800e, wasn't in a rush as 4.4 was working fine for me but wanted to be able to use Krypton 17 in the future. Anyway, the upgrade wasn't smooth as it stopped half way through and I had to pull the power and reboot the box. The box came back up again and finished the upgrade without any further issues. I also had the same issue when applying the Root patch. So far so good, no problems at all with 5.1 and not getting the black screen issue when waking it up from standby. Good job MyGica! FBN

Ditto. Will this work on the 1800e? The original post is not clear on this, title of post includes 1800e, but no further mention of it. Even the file name only refers to the 1900. FBN

Justin You should setup a topic in the forums for support like this. Where only members help members and no support from the mods. Truly this will help your product. Someone buys a box, don't know what to do and then find no help here and they return it for a refund. Not good for business. FBN I will have to look into this. The issue is the information that is found would be found on our site, regardless of this coming from Mods or not. Another thought.... Just setup a sticky in the forums for new users of Kodi. There you can say that third party apps are not supported here in the forums and that all information about installing Kodi add-ons can be found by searching "Kodi Addons" on the internet, where you will find informative step-by-step instructions and YouTube videos. You may want to give a few example searches, like "Kodi Fusion", "Kodi Addon Installer", "Kodi Genesis", etc. This may help eliminate users coming to the forums posting help topics for Kodi. You could even have your standard statement about being banned for discussing any third party apps here in the forum. FBN

Fusion is the right thing to do. Then install addon installer. Google it too. Genisis is a good addon to use. Google and you will find! FBN

I'm really looking forward to trying out the new ROM version! Hopefully this will correct some issues with the 1800e which still seem to persist. Just to let everyone know the replacement 1800e I got from Justin has only a slight Netflix audio sync issue which has the audio lagging the video. At least it makes Netflix watchable again... the other issue with Netflix I have seen is the video is jerky at times, this is most apparent when the camera is panning a scene, but shows up other times. I've read that this type of behaviour can be attributed to dropped video frames? As for the account settings in Netflix I've tried different settings with the new box and without any apparent benefit to the issues I've just highlighted. Unfortunately I did not think of trying this with the original box which had a very bad audio sync issue, so hopefully Justin can try changing these settings on his Netflix account to reproduce the problems I was having with it. It makes no sense to me why the same box can behave so differently with another Netflix user account... Which only has settings for playback quality and test participation. It is not my network connection because my old ATV1200 plays Netflix perfectly fine and this was using the very same account settings in Netflix. I even bypassed my network totally and ran Netflix on the 1800e using my phone as a hotspot on the LTE network, but same sync issues. FBN

Just some more info about the Music app launching when hitting some buttons on the remote. It will launch in the background even if there isn't a USB plugged in with an mp3 file. This will happen even from the home screen, since it is in the background the only way to see it is in running apps in Android settings > apps > running. In Crackle, if a video is playing and you hit the pause/play button, then the video will pause, but if you hit pause/play again the Music app will come up on the screen. The only way to get rid of it is to hit the back button. I'm hoping you can reproduce these issues and more importantly the NetFlix audio sync one and get is resolved. FBN

Justin, Regarding the remote control with Netflix, I tested it with my ATV1200 and wireless keyboard which has the play, pause, stop, etc functions on it and you are right it will not control the play. The mouse will bring up the control functions in NetFlix if you left click on the screen while the video is running. However, In the ATV1800e, the mouse click will not bring up the control function screen in NetFlix when the video is playing. The only way I can get it to come up is to hit the volume button on the remote or my wireless keyboard and then quickly move the mouse to pause the video. So it appears that for some reason the mouse click on the screen to simulate a touch screen tap is not working. Also, you may want to look into the control buttons on the remote or wireless keyboard starting the native Music app when NetFlix is running and there is a MP3 file on a connected USB drive. This is very weird behaviour. I can confirm that the Music app does launch as it shows up in the apps running in Android settings. Thanks for looking into this for us. If I can provide any more detail, please let me know. FBN

If you can do that, it would be good to know. Keep us in the loop. FBN

Just an update to my latest beta firmware post from earlier today. It appears that the issue with the remote not working properly with NetFlix also shows up when using Crackle. It's a bit different as at first the buttons on the remote does control the video, but only after the first pause, then if you hit play it launches the native music player and the audio from the MP3 file is heard, but Crackle doesn't resume the playing of the video. I should mention that this behaviour for both NetFlix and Crackle also happens when I use the same buttons on my wireless keyboard. Oh... Crackle doesn't have the audio sync issue. I hope the developers can figure this out and fix it... and more importantly fix NetFlix. I'm spending far too much time on this and would like to enjoy my 1800e without worries. FBN

I installed it today and it is not fixed. I posted my findings in another thread. viewtopic.php?f=118&t=3140 FBN
