I downloaded the link and saved to an SD card. When I try to open it by clicking on it or right clicking and then selecting mount or open I get the error screen. Cannot Mount  corrupted and I am using 7 Zip

I can open it with 7zip and see the files inside, I can also extract the archive with 7zip.

I think you may have a corrupt download, or your computer may have issues.

Also, why is the box limited to 1.6Ghz if its advertised as 2Ghz?

Probably for the same reason you don't put your foot to the floor and leave it there when you get your car out on the highway.

also, I have never turned my 1800e 'off', or into standby, never saw the need, most media players just turn off the video out anyway, so power saving is pretty much a non issue.

I have heard from a few people that the 5.1 beta that is listed in the video posted here, does not seem to have the audio passthrough issues that the new 5.1.1 release has.

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I am planning on trying it. It can't be worse than what I have now.

I will post back once I have tested it with kodi 17, however it could be next weekend before I have time to do it.

For a little more money I could have an Nvidia Shield.

That will be my next Android media player, assuming I don't just build an HTPC instead.

While I know the Raspberry Pi  software, Xbian and OpenELEC are based on linux, I still am surprised at how much better they do with kodi than this MyGica 1800e, and for about half the price.

This has been disappointing from the start and it seems to get worse. After the 5.1 upgrade it frequently freezes, requiring the power to be removed to restart it, to try again.

I blame myself for not doing enough research before purchasing.

Ive read Kodi 17 having lots of Passthrough issues

 

Have you tried SPMC

I hear SPMC works great with Passthrough.

I had the same issues with kodi 17 on my mygica. However it works fine on a raspberry pi 3 using xbian and openelec.

Justin, is thee any update to the MAC address changing on these devices after the update?

Thanks.

sorry if this has been answered, but I really can't go through 8 pages.

Can't read, or just to lazy to potentially learn something?

Will have to get this fixed then.

My old Samsung S2 did the same thing after an upgrade, they wanted it back to fix it.

MAC addresses are supposed to be hard coded, a software update should have no effect.

I am hopeful for a fix but I won't hold my breath.

Can anybody else confirm that the MAC address of their MyGica constantly changes after every reboot with this firmware?

Mine seems to as well.
