that i'm asking because on this site 24sata TV - Emisija News na 24sata televiziji, on nadroid 2.3.4, video is so slow, voice is late for video about second or two, on some parts there is no video, only audio.

I have an ATV3000 running ICS and I too have problems with audio sync. In every case, using different video players and different video formats, audio is always late. As I'm a person who always tries to be on time, this is especially disappointing. ;)
 
Hi all, I have modified and repacked the update package made by cupi1234.
Now, the white cursor is perfectly centered.
You can verify going to: Settings --> Developer options --> Pointer location (check).

Copy this update file into your sdcard (or usb pendrive) and install as usual or, more easily
(as suggested by enviro8), you can install it using the Upgrade app that you find among inbuilt apps.

This is the link: update_white-pointer-centered_ICS.zip

Edit:
If you prefer, I have modified (and centered) also the bigger cursor made by Geniatech.
Here is the link: update_white-pointer-centered-big_ICS.zip
 
my experience with v4 made me move back to 11022011.
besides zooming in in player mode, 1cm top line sometimes was copied down, i noticed that all streamed movies from nas via wifi were not smooth (glitch every 5 min), also the sound seemed to be a little behind the video. after downgrade to 11022011, the same files play smooth (not a single glitch in the whole movie) and video and audio is in perfect sync. any one noticed it too? if u use the box mainly for movie playback, version 4 is not there yet. version 11022011 is the best so far, so i think i ll stick to it for a while now.
 
Hmm.

Okay. Decided to upgrade. I watched the video again and thought I'd follow that procedure instead of using Settings->Privacy->Update System

Essentially, copy SPI to SDCard, rename to update.img
Unplug box, hold reset button and plug in. Once on the update failed screen, insert the sdcard and select option 3.

Tried to use the remote to select option 3.
Bugger. Remote doesn't work. What now? Try the USB Mouse.
Plug it in. Nothing.
Ahhh, I think I should've plugged the mouse in during normal operation so it could detect it.
Hopefully nothing has been wiped, so I remove SDCard and cycle the power.
Boots up no problem, insert mouse, mouse works. Power Off, Hold Reset Button, Power On and back to the update screen.

Now, moving the mouse scrolls the selection and I can get item 3 highlighted, but clicking any mouse button, doesn't select it. Looks like I can't update using this method unless I have a keyboard.

Now for my dilemma.
I could select the Settings->Privacy->Update System option, but as I haven't updated one of these units before, I don't know whether I'll have to make a menu selection at some stage (which would kill the process)

From the video, the second stage looks to be automatic. i.e. once the spi has been updated, unit off, copy update_20120111 to SDCard and rename it update.img.
Place SD into unit and hold reset while powering up. It will auto load the file.

Does anyone know, (for certain please), that if I select the Settings->Privacy->Update System option to update the SPI, will I have to make any input during that process?

I assume using this method, I have the SDCard with the SPI file already inserted before selecting the Settings->Privacy->Update System option.
 
Nevermind.

I decided to try my Logitech Bluetooth keyboard.
I have a usb bluetooth dongle and plugged it into the Android Box.
the keyboard was working so I rebooted into update and did the update.
Worked like a charm.
 
Hi,

have you any experience about bluetooth pairing between a wii Remote and a Geniatech Enjoy TV - (Android 2.3 MyGica 20111104 fw)

Bluetooth dongle is OK, discovering OK, but pairing is failed, i don't know what is the code. Normally Wii Remote has no code, but this situation I need to input someting to...

Thanx in advance.

no matther you already solved, with mouse you need to cycle between menu items with wheel. menu is NOT clickable.
 
When I used the mouse, moving the mouse forward and back would change the highlighted selection. My mouse wheel did nothing. Pressing left and right button as well and also the wheel button did nothing. So it allowed me to highlight a menu item, but I had no way of hitting "Enter" so to speak.

Yes, keyboard solved it for me.

I haven't tried using a Wii remote with an Android box... but I might try it.
I don't own a Wii but know a couple of people who do. One time, I might take the Android Box there and see what I can set up.

I'm setting up the NeonIQ I got mainly as a video player for tv shows and movies.
I decided to go with version 2.3.4 and see how that performs before deciding to go with ICS or not.

Compared with the 2.2 that the unit came with, the update is a huge improvement. (2.2 was okay, but you appreciate the difference to 2.3 once you update)

I've tried the Wifi File transfer app that was installed and it worked well. I've also installed Samba Filesharing from funkyFresh to compare. Both work great so far.
I used ES file explorer on my Galaxy S (Running CM9 - Nightly) to transfer and manipulate files on the NeonIQ.

As I do more testing with playing various file types, I'll let you know how it performs. So far so good playing some H.264, MKV.
 
Does anyone know which files are responsible for the AC3 codec support?

In the first ICS beta was noise at AC3. The current ICS image is repaired by adding support for this codec. I bet that is a matter of some selected files to support AC3.
 
Hi all

I ve not been on the site for a couple of weeks, I notice there appears to be some good progress with ICS

Can Flashplayer been updated to 11 in ICS? just wondering if internet TV like Bbc Iplayer runs okay and smoothly?
 
This query is for any Australians on this forum: Has anyone had much luck with ABC iview? My first upgrade was the Multilaser update. When I tried iview the site said that I needed to install flash so I went to the Play store and installed flash 11. I tried iview again and it worked but not perfectly. There was noticable frame dropping and a repetitive clicking in the audio. I tried gio965's full patched ICS upgrade and iview wouldn't work at all with either the existing version of flash or flash 11. The iview site appeared extremely large on my screen. So large that I couldn't see most of it and I couldn't scroll around either. When I tried to watch a program iview kept displaying a message to say that the connection had been lost. I went back to 2.3 with update_20120111_gio.zip and had the same issues so I'm back to the Multilaser version which is usable but not perfect. Has anyone got iview to work with ICS?
 
Just an update on the video playback.
Remind that I am on 2.3.4.

It's a little disappointing. Every file I have played so far, I notice a slight sync problem between the video and the audio.

I've been testing mainly with Moden Family and Game Of Thrones 720P.

I installed MX Player. On starting it, it didn't ask for any codecs. (I actually thought it would).

It was about the same as the standard player. Slight audio sync problem.
 
I've also noticed an audio sync, seems to come and go.

Slightly interesting news, someone recently asked again over on XBMC forums about Amlogic players running XBMC and Davilla one of the XBMC developers cryptically replied... which usually means something is in the works. That doesnt nesscarily mean XBMC running under Android could be running under linux on these media players.


On another note could any Android experts explain to me how does Android handle hardware acceleration for video ?

Is there no standard API that any media player can plug into as I've seen apps on Google market that go out of their way to support various chipsets Android runs on, same problem with Flash too Geniatech supply their own version of Flash with hardware acceleration but some tablets don't need to do this at all and use the stock Flash no problem.
 
out of sync problem is even worse on version 4.0, on 2.3 i did not noticed it, and i usually play 720p or 1080p.
regarding player, i use standard player for vidios, its doing a good job, as it is specially designed for the hardware in the box.
on my motorala xoom tablet the only players which can play 720p mkv files are DicePlayer and Vplayer. the rest can not do it(rock player, mobo, mxplayer, etc). maybe these players could work ok on our box?

edit:
diceplayer performs bad on the box. it can not use HW so it defaults to SW, so does VPlayer. so the default players are the best ones to be used so far...
btw, any way to make subtitles bigger than 30 and make them save the size for the next time?

I have been trying for ABC Iveiw without success.

We will have to wait until they bring out the Android version. They have a PC and Ipod version.

I also have noticed the lip sync problem differences with Gingerbread and ICS, with ICS being quiet severe.

Nonetheless I find the the lip synch problem is not uniform across video sources.

When playing video from some sources such as videos on my network it appears to be non-existant (Networked live TV, YouTube, TV Dongle (Gingerbread)), slight with Crackle but significant with Veetle.

I do not have a lip sync problem with my Android tablet with either Gingerbread nor ICS.

I am thinking that one of the application providers may be the source of the problem. I have found a file called media provider and wonder if this is the cause and by using one from another source could overcome the problems. And, if so, are there other system files that could be transposed from another device into the box, and if so, which?

It might work and I will give it a try, but firstly, any suggestions as to the appropriate files to try?

I've been able to watch Iview with Gingerbread straight from the Iview web site, although it is a bit jittery. I haven't been using an app. With ICS though, Iview doesn't work at all.
 
Just for everyone's information, I have found that streaming videos from a PC over wifi works fine for me with Gingerbread but with ICS there is always a noticable audio delay no matter what video player I use.
