    5.1 has faster app loading.

    Faster OS

    Cleaner looking settings GUI

    Adds built in Chromecast

    Voice search (With compatible remote)

    We plan to use non rooted firmware, so lots of GO apps and streaming apps should work now

    There are other benefits as well. I have been using 5.0.2 for a few months now, and enjoy it way more over 4.4.2

    Will this mean hd Netflix is coming soon? Hehe, I really want this. Also will the new nf app have Dolby 5.1, 7.1 sound capabilities?

    Thanks!

    Here is Justin's response on the Netflix HD debacle ...

    viewtopic.php?f=42&t=2724&start=200

    Oh Netflix can be Dolby Digital if the right DRM and Widevine licenses can be acquired :-)

    P.S Hope Mygica leaves us with a solid KitKat 4.4.2 experience in case some of us wants to revert back should the new OS not live up to expectation.

    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.

    I applied the settings and there is a noticeable difference on my Netflix experience. It ain't perfect but a step towards the right direction. Thanks for sharing guys but it ain't sorted out yet IMHO. Needs a bit of work still and I'm sure others are looking for and official release in the form of a rom soon. Betas are fine but they should be just that ... betas.

    To better your Netflix experience set the box to 24Hz ... it looks better this way.

    HI Chachi

    Try this patch to get Google Play to work.

    https://mega.co.nz/#!IlswhIKT!57GzC0ByC ... AKfCdGGxAM

    It works on my end after using the update app on the box.

    Thanks Dlangejc, that worked! What does it do?

    Owner who pays $180+ for a box gets his streamer fixed, not by a mod who "answered" his post on June 17, but by a patch supplied by another user.

    Nice!

    @ wjw

    I'm just that awesome - its simple :lol:

    Well after playing around with my 1800e yesterday trying to get the Netflix sync issue resolved on my own... I know this is a waste of time, but I had to do something. Anyways, I messed with so many things, I thought it would be best to reset the box back to factory default (latest Beta). Well now the MyGica Store is working! I'm sooooo happy because I couldn't sleep at night worrying about it! LOL :lol:

    No such luck with Netflix... :(

    Does anybody else notice that the remote doesn't do much in NetFlix with the latest Beta??? It seems to be really messed up as I explained in a previous post yesterday.

    FBN

    I have an air mouse so I don't use a remote - won't be able to comment.

    In the new AML SDK the Netflix runs way better on my other boxes, so it's not impossible to fix.

    This box is just taking time to develop for it seems.

    Something you might want to try...

    viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3006

    I have a link for a website that has direct downloads for apk's (haven't tried the website but looks legit) but I don't know what the Mods think about sideloading here :D

    Thanks I will see if I can find the Netflix apk.

    FBN

    wjw, Thanks for the link! I tried the 3.7.1 apk and it has the same issues with audio sync. Looks like the owners of these boxes with this issue will have to wait for the developers to fix it. I don't even think they downloaded my video which shows the issue! At least they haven't bothered to acknowledge it.

    FBN

    No version of Netflix will fix this - the developers must - I'm just mad because i seriously need to catch up some Netflix :oops:

    I fully agree with databubble ... the Netflix has gone to hell and I cannot watch it like this.

    The Netflix on this build is not up to standard and its the only reason why I still have a problem with this device. Its not a bad device & does what it should but I'm missing out on my paid Netflix subscription and I dont think its fair towards other users of the Netflix service including myself.

    Please push the Geniatech developers further for a release - Really looking forward to the next release but its just plain silly that we have to wait so long between releases and bug fixes.

    I cant use my Netflix subscription as the audio is out of synch still - hope the new firmware will fix the problem.

    I am currently wasting $8.99 a month as I cannot use the service.

    Are you able to take a Video capture of this or at least a good video with a camera?

    As I cannot reproduce this issue on any unit here. I have tested Netflix for many many hours

    Let me know

    Thanks

    I'm not the only one having issues on Netflix on the firmware and others have reported the same audio synch issues.

    The audio is either ahead or behind on the Netflix video being played and I have tried to fix it with a bypass on my TV but it doesnt work. I'll try and see if I can take a video but it will be amateur at best :-)

    Also have you tested both wired and Ethernet on your side? I will do the same but if I can recall I tried this already.

    Thanks

    So now I'm stuck between choosing a working Google Playstore or semi-working Netflix ... This has to be the worst supported box I have ever seen. Luckily a friend sent me a replacement MXIII. Even TronSmart and Beelink has better development for their boxes than MYgica.

    Will I be recommending this box to anyone? NO - not until Mygica sorts out their firmware issues.

    Seems everyone in China wants to be first with everything. Mygica already proved that they are first to "not develop" decently for this SOC!!!!!!!

    Come on guys $150 and this what we get????? I'm selling mine for Nvidia Android TV box if this doesn't get better.

    ATV1800 Feedback so far:

    1. Instalation went okay - had to pull the power 3 times for update to complete.

    2. Noticed auto switch on resolution gone - if by design, I don't mind :-)

    3. Netflix audio synch problem still present - latest Netflix version from Google Play store.

    4. Sounds cuts out when watching video for a split second in Kodi.

    Will continue testing as time progress but that's my feedback for now.

    There also seems to be an issue on the latest firmware where the polling on the USB dongle for the 2.4GZ remote times out. This means get up and pull out the dongle and reboot and reseat. When switching on the unit,and not clicking anything immediately without intervention causes this behaviour.

    Can this also be looked at? I know this was a problem in some of the earlier firmware but was fixed and appears to be broken again :-P

    Welcome back @Justin

    Did you take a look at the files I posted? Also can you do a full upload of the new firmware when it's ready?

    OTA still sounds like Sci-Fi as it doesn't always work and we might need the original files to flash the firmware.

    I'm hoping here that the developers have a roadmap that's aligned with that of Amlogic's SDK, then they won't have sit around and wait for instruction, they can always follow competitors enhancements on firmware on AML S802 and implement accordingly, yes the hardware isn't all the same but the AML SDK components are. Thanks J.

    I posted this before and could not agree more with those two posts above,

    this device is nightmare, you would be crazy to buy it if you can get w8.1 box for $100.

    MyGica should hold it's head in shame to butcher Android like this!

    Absolutely unusable for daily use for regular non tech people.

    Yeah I know it's much cheaper now for w8.1 and IMHO and I can't recommend this device anymore. I have been loyal as hell and so have you but if you push people beyond the state of caring anymore there is just no point. Beelink and Minix have much better development at this stage and I'm a finding myself moving towards Beelink again. The developers have access to the same SDKs and why are they not pushing out the same fixes?????

    @freakrant Thanks for the suggestions but it's just the LG Smart TV and Mygica box. Tried changing it around several times but the result is the same. I even took the amplifier out as I thought that might help in troubleshooting. HDMI is a sneaky bastard at best and it seems this fw just sucks real bad.

    I might be going back to the GMS beta firmware, had enough of black / blank screen issues.

    Not sure if all development efforts are spent on Android L but in the meantime the frustration is mounting.

    My gf can't even watch without effort and the box now needs to be power cycled for it to work a few times a day.

    This is not OK on any level.

    Thinking of selling it at this stage as the development is just slow as hell. Where is Justin and why is no one giving us feedback on here?
