Ugoos X4 Pro

[Totaly Pavlina]

speedy This guy claims the ugoos am6b+ now supports true tv led & cm4 and the amlogic bug was resolved that caused the fake tv led. Curious if this checks out in your opinion. (Slightly off topic but we need a general Dolby Vision watercooler space now that the DV8 feature shipped!)

Sorry but thats all wrong. CoreElec does not run on android, so design has nothing to do with underlying system. There are plenty of modern fonts and designs available for KODI.

Yes, Infuse is a very polished and easy to use piece of software, thats why we like it

This was one of the recommendations by WRXTASY. I am impressed with the features and functions within this price range.

Ordered UGOOS AM6 PRO together with Air Mouse MX3 from AliExpress for AUD$227.25

Awaiting delivery

I welcome your feedback.

Update: no feedback? Guess I'm the only one who purchased this?

I set one up about a month ago, no real issues. It is phone/tablet android o/s, which I prefer as we watch streaming apps and every APK we've downloaded works well in tandem with a third party air mouse.

The remote is next to useless, why do they bother sending one for what is a touchscreen O/S?

Just once or twice a video file has halted when watching an x265 movie file, I wonder whether that's due to a lack of ram, as the processor itself has a considerable oomph.

I love the extra settings for frame rate and dolby vision, though my advice is don't set the latter unless you have a dolby vision capable TV or you end up seeing a black screen and no way to get out of it short of finding a TV with dolbyvision capability or re-setting to factory, even that might be impossible as you can't view dos commands to re-set either. Why the box doesn't request you to confirm the new setting as boxes require users to do with resolution changes, is imo an oversight.

The HDMI CEC works quite well. In my case I set my Sony TV to control the power and the Ugoos to CEC on, but not set to power the TV. I also set the Ugoos to hibernate on TV power off. This way the box hibernates. The small LED on the top of the unit switches from white to blue indicating hibernation. When I want the box on, I can do it from the airmouse without having to pull and replace the power cord as you do with some of the chinky boxes. In hibernation the power usage is less than it is sleep mode. The manual power button on the unit itself appears to do little else than bring the power mode up on the TV, which is a bit weird.

Download the Youtube Android TV version from a third party app store like Aptoide TV and 4K youtube clips will stream in genuine 4K too. Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound is not natively passed through to amp via HDMI nor Optical. However if you use the media player from Kodi it will.

See below just pair your power button on remote it came with

Apologise for misunderstanding your previous and current post. I now understand your instructions how to pair between Android remote and mx3 to map the power button. Will try it out.

Thank you very much Wayne

Instructions to pair Android Power Button ON/OFF onto MX3 Air Mouse.

1. Press TV button on the MX3 and hold till the red led flashes.

2. Press the power button on the Android remote till the red led becomes solid on the MX3.

3. Press the red button (not the TV button) on MX3, and the red led flashes

4. Press the TV button on the MX3, and when the red led turns off, it's paired.

Also if it's going to have widevine L1 certification so that streams with adaptive bitrate can play at their full resolution. I'm thinking that it might require the Android TV O/S to stream Netflix etc at full resolution.

I've found the wifi modules in both the Ugoos X2 and AM6 to be weak areas. I particularly don't like the dual antenna configuration of the AM6's or the mini stub excuse of an antenna for the X2. I use ethernet with both devices.

I have been using the UGOOS AM6 PRO, and updating the software whenever available for a year now.

OS and Remote not stable. Gitches now and then. Like returning back to main menu, screen goes blank for few sec etc.,

It gets buggier and very unstable as time goes by, and until today, it's impossible to use it.

Took about 3 mins to bootup. Takes 2 mins to to play Kodi or X-plore.

At times in Kodi/X-plore, I'll get a blank screen and it returns back to the main menu.

Attached a HD or Flash drive (exFat), it connects on and off. Reboot and connect again, it's fine and the disconnect again.

I changed the Launcher from Ugoos Launcher to Launcher 3, and it seemed to work better. Able to navigate better.

However, when I plug an 4TB External 2TB portable HD, it stopped working upon bootup.

The HD is formatted to exFAT. Later I found out that the External HD shows up as "safely Ejected"

Every time I reboot, it doesn't mount correctly and show "safely ejected".

I Google this issue, and it has been reported as know issue for Media Player, especially the Shield.

UGOOS FAQ

Ugoos devices are compatible with external hard drives up to a maximum of 2.5TB. Also, most external hard drives do not require an external power source to operate and can be sufficiently powered by the media hub via the USB port. Ugoos Team can't provide 100 percent capability with all USB Flash drives and Hard drives.

If you are considering UGOO, note this limitation.

my UGOOS AM6 PRO is unable to detect the external 2TB Seagate (one touch). Previously, it was able to. Format is exFat.

Windows 10 and Minix NEO U9, and it has no problem detecting it. I have Google this issue "External HHD has been safely ejected". There is no resolution to date.

I believe it could be the firmware upgrade and made incompatible.

Your help is greatly appreciated

The fault lies with the drives' firmware, and not the Mac nor Mac OS X.

Seagate and Western Digital both have semi-smart firmware in their drive enclosures that sleep the drive directly after a few minutes. Windows doesn't treat this as a problem because it sees the connection to the enclosure as still up, but Mac OS X treats it as a full disconnect.

To cure this, you need to download the drive-management suites from each company and use it to alter the sleep-timer inside the enclosure so that it sleep-timer is off.
