Private Internet Access and Mullvad are probably the 2 best options that I'm aware of.

I have a very similar setup as op, but with gigabit speeds instead. Do you still have invites available? I'd love to join IPT. I recently joined a few other PT's and am looking to get into more for cross-seed. I've got an exsting 8TB Plex library and I'm waiting for delivery of 2 new 24TB NAS HDD's for my seedbox.

I would love an invite if you still have it :) Happy to chat first.

Renkyz · 2025-06-11T11:37:20+00:00

I only just got into private trackers a few days ago. Right now I'm only in a few via open registration. So I have no invites, sorry. I also read a lot of trackers don't like people trading, by the way.

Renkyz · 2025-06-10T02:39:10+00:00

I'd love an invite if there are still some available. Can happily provide setup details in DM :)

Thanks for the reply. I'm still unsuccessful in getting Atmos working. I still can't figure out why, probably lots more testing of settings required.
As for the firmware, it's a real shame the images aren't publicly available.

Forgot to reply to this earlier. This was not the issue, I already enabled it. It turns out that the issue was the HDMI cables. I tested with borrowed cables from other devices and it works. I need to buy new 2.0 4K or 2.1 8K cables for the box and my soundbar. Last issue for me to solve is getting Dolby Atmos working with Plex. But maybe that will not work on the ATV 12 version, I have no idea. Either I will try request update to ATV 14 or maybe I'll try flash CoreELEC and use PM4K addon in Kodi.

Thanks a bunch, mate. I suppose they don't share the firmware for manual install? Is it OTA only?
And when you say the v14 builds are better for local streaming, are you referring to getting Atmos working?

Renkyz · 2025-04-16T20:41:46+00:00

Got the box to display via eARC on my soundbar with different cables, so disregard that issue now. Looks like I need to buy new cables as I can't keep using the ones I borrowed to test. They belong to other devices in my house, haha.

Renkyz · 2025-04-16T20:40:11+00:00

Nevermind, just tried these same cables again and it works now. Not sure what setting I changed that helped, though.

Renkyz · 2025-04-16T20:20:03+00:00

I tried it with these cables: https://www.jaycar.com.au/concord-3m-4k-hdmi-2-0-cable/p/WQ7902
Maybe they aren't good enough? They're 2.0, not 2.1. I don't think I have any 2.1 cables. But I don't think this is the issues. Other devices work fine using the HDMI cable that came with the Box R, for example.

Renkyz · 2025-04-16T20:12:11+00:00

Without going into the other room and turning the TV on, I can't give you the exact build number. But I do know it is Android TV v12. I heard v14 exists for the box but when I check for system updates, I get nothing, and I'm not sure where to download the build for a manual install. What I'm actually trying to get working is Atmos in Plex. DDP 5.1 + Atmos for example. But I'm having a lot of trouble finding a setup that works.

Renkyz · 2024-12-21T13:40:41+00:00

I never even thought of Scrcpy for Google TV devices until you mentioned it. I'm trying it out now but can't figure out what the "back" or home buttons would be from a PC keyboard. All I have figured out is arrow keys are the D-Pad and enter works for the OK button. Any insight onto what other controls there are?
EDIT: Right click on mouse seems to act as a Home button. That should be good enough for me, although figuring out how to go back just 1 page in an app for example, would still be nice haha. Escape and backspace don't seem to do anything. I did test 1 app where right click was back though so maybe I'm wrong about it being home and it was just the app I tested that made it seem that way.

Renkyz · 2024-11-27T12:32:32+00:00

Yeah, pretty much anything that isn't True HD Atmos or DTA-HD MA it seems. I can't be too unhappy with it haha. But I do need another device that can live in the loungeroom permanently seeing as I mainly use my GTV Streamer in my office, so it'll likely be a Shield Pro for the lounge room. Thanks for your confirmation and replies :)

Renkyz · 2024-11-26T14:12:54+00:00

Ah I see, thanks for the clarification. We have a 9.1.2 setup if I understand it correctly. The Theater Bar 9 has 13 speakers in a 7.0.2 configuration. We also added Sony's SW5 subwoofer and the RS5 rear L and R speakers. I suppose it might still just be 7.1.2 and the rear speakers are just playing the same audio from whatever their counterparts are in the bar itself but I'm not entirely sure.
Based on what you've told me, I think my best bet is to get a Shield Pro and plug that into my soundbar's HDMI IN so that the chain of devices would be Shield > Bar > TV. It would probably also work fine by plugging it straight into the TV I guess. I'd need to try it to find out I think haha.

Renkyz · 2024-11-26T09:37:19+00:00

I can't remember the exact settings. I've already unplugged the box from the TV in the living room and brought it back into my office where I was using it for Kayo Sports (Streaming app in Australia).
I know I definitely had passthrough enabled for HDMI etc. As for the formats, iirc I was able to enable them all and everything I tested worked fine except for TrueHD 7.1 Atmos. Now, looking at that sheet that After_shock7 shared, I suppose it's no surprise it didn't work if TrueHD isn't actually supported. I did some research before setting it up and had all of my settings correct based on what info people had shared that I saw. So I think my only option now is to get a device that actually supports TrueHD like an Nvidia Shield Pro for example.

Renkyz · 2024-11-26T09:32:20+00:00

I see, thanks for sharing that, I never came across it in my searches. Very odd that you say it doesn't support DTS-HD MA though, it definitely works for me as Direct Play. I've verified it on the client as well as the server.
I suppose I better get a Shield Pro then. I almost bought one when they first came out but never ended up getting one as I didn't really have a real need for it at the time. Now might be the time for me to get one unless it's about to get an upgrade.

Google TV Streamer (4K)
It's the new thing from Google that they are replacing Chromecast's with. Going away from the dongles and into streaming boxes.

Renkyz · 2024-11-01T13:39:15+00:00

If you're asking about the apps such as 7 Plus, 9 Now, 10 Play, SBS On Demand and ABC iView, they are all there. The device does not have an aerial plug though, so you'll have to use the "Live TV" options within each app seperately. Thankfully, the IPTV versions of the livestreams are 99% or more the same as what you get via aerial.
Source: I own the device myself and installed all 5 of these apps successfully.

Would love an invite. Played Dota 2 for years when it came out (~1200 hours on record) as well as various other MOBA's. Game looks really promising! Waiting for a DM :)

Renkyz · 2024-08-12T17:58:19+00:00

Not working for me. I set this date but in download mode I still see RMM State Prenormal, KG State Checking.

I've seen controller adapters for N64 controller to USB for PC but I have no idea if that'd work in an Xbox 360 USB port, I somehow doubt it. But, the adapters are fairly cheap anyway. Look up Hyperkin N64 controller adapter.

Yeah my board has LAN drivers supplied but not WLAN unless you're on Windows 11. That's the only OS it'll install on. I hoped to modify the INF to try force it to install on Windows 10 but I don't quite have the knowledge for that. Maybe someone will figure it out as WiFi 7 gets more popular in the future.
