    Just picked up a MINIX NEO X8-H Plus and plan to start setting up this morning. Any set-up guides and advice on how to get the best out of it appreciated, shoot me a PM if easier. Thanks.

    It will work fine for Kodi.

    Hey lads, would love a bit of guidance here if you could help as am a total noob to this. I am thinking about getting a box to hook up to 1080p projector. Thinking of getting a x8-H or an M8s or maybe go to totally different and get a pipo x7 or x8. Just wondering if anyone could tell me what they think particularly between the two android boxes as there is a big price difference. I am going to set up Kodi on my windows machine first to play around with it. I have never used it before so would appreciate a pm from someone on how to maximize using Kodi. Thanks

    I have never used M8s. Have heard that Tronsmart one with the same chip S812 is a better bet.

    I have a MINIX NEO X8-H Plus, it's expensive but works very well.

    Hi can anyone help me please. My remote is broken. Box is connected by cable to the modem so wifi is swithed off on the box. Any remote apps i found on my phone seem to need a wifi connection to work ?
    Is there anything I can do? Or do i need to go and get a remote?

    Have an MQq in my sons room. Its flying along, only problem it has is the memory in the box itself seems to fill up in a few weeks just by using it for watching movies and sports.

    Its causing Kodi to crash, and I've had to uninstall and reinstall it. The downside of that is I've had to start from fresh.

    Is there any way of clearing the misc files without having to do this again.

    I've been clearing the Cache all along.

    Look for Mucky Ducks repo and in there he has a wizard which contains a Maintenance section which will clear all your junk files out.

    I always add this into my sub menu under System menu item, do it once a week at least.

    I have that set up now. So hopefully it keeps the box freed up!

    It will, just run it regular and you will be fine.

    It should tell you how many files are being removed as well, just check your storage % before and after.

    A major space filler in Kodi is the Thumbnail folder.This you would need to manually check yourself and clear all(which would remove all thumbnail images from your build) or just go through it and clear images you don't need.

    If the thumbnail folder seems very big,you can turn off various Artwork views in artwork downloader(if you use it) or turn off download actor thumbnails in Settings>Video>Library.

    I seem to have lost the windows > android function on my pipo, possibly after I did a reset on windows, I think I deleted all the files and folders.

    Wondering if anyone has any experience with this? I rarely used the android function of the box, but still want it all the same, as I like to experiment with different builds on Kodi.

    make sure it's gone first anyway.
    open disk management on windows, you'll see all the partitions there & what's on them.

    if they're get googling :pac:

    They have links to download the software on this article (albeit for windows 10), although I'm not sure how trusting I'd be of that site.

    Can some one tell me what these actually do?

    Do they make your tv a smart one and allow rte player and the like to run? Allow YouTube etc?

    Is chrome cast the same? Can these boxes allow sreaming apps/players to be used/cast?

    They turn your tv into a jail broken smart tv.

    Cool thanks. So for example I was looking at chrome cast to cast stuff to my tv but if I got an android box it would do this but along with being able to use a load of other apps and that yes?
