Is that not just a re stickered M8?

No idea.
I am a bit clueless when it comes to these boxes.

Looks fine, I have one on slow boat from China so I think they are fine.

Anyone else's XBMC gone belly up? I'm getting booted out every minute.

Happened to me. so I fired up tvmc then went back to xbmc and she's working fine now.
Must be an updated add-on that's causing it.

It froze before once selected in apps couple of times, unplugged at wall sorted it.

michael999999 · 31-12-2014 03:52PM

More is freezing inside Navi, it seems to prevent me from leaving it again. Anyone else finding this?

Do you have any Xunity addons?

I just bought the Pipo X7. It's not Android (as title of thread), but Windows 8.1
32GB Storage, 2GB RAM, Intel Baytrail (Z3736F) CPU, and Intel HD (GPU).

It's on Geekbuying for €80.97, Gearbest for €82.11 but I bought mine from Aliexpress for €120 fast shipping from Pipo Flagship store.

I actually went looking for a decent price for this (< €150)and got sidetracked.. I hope I don't regret that.

Looks good, must try the guy I know in Gearbest to see if he does a coed for it. I guess this will run the standard OpenELEC without any issues?

I'd say so.
I just had a quick look on Freaktab, claims it does. Although there is a persistent poster there that keeps asking for a video.

Even if it doesn't now, I doubt it will be long before it does.

I have Helix Rc1 on Open Elec by Codesnake, few glitches but for a normal user like me I find little difference but I'm streaming film and TV in 1080 a lot better and little or no buffering.

That's likely to be Open Elec using my fibre in a more efficient way.

That was the root of the problem,faulty update. In use it for one add on plus 3/4 Playlists other than that I'd get rid of it.

Also new version of Cartoon HD out there.....

All ok now I think, force refresh the repo I think. It was mental tbh, my box went into reboot every 45 secs or so. I was glad I knew a little plus having a half decent twitter list of Dev's to check on for updates or info helps.

I made the mistake of thinking .es meant the site was in spain so no customs, read the small print and coming from China as well so customs....about 2 euro cheaper than Gearbest with expeidated shipping, cant deal with slow boat anymore:):)

There are tons of those sites that target specific Countries, so you think they are in that Country. Germany and France seem to have the most. Can't think of them off top of my head though.

I may have pulled the trigger a bit too quickly, but I was getting a headache looking for the Zotac Pico for less than €150, and I thought I was finished. If I had just taken a break I could've saved myself ~ €40.. Ah well...
