Is anyone having problems watching standard definition avi's with the Geniatech? I've noticed a strange effect on some files which I would imagine is what avirex was talking about here:

http://androidforums.com/google-tv/...ic-8726-cortex-a9-android-tv.html#post3695636

It looks like the video is playing in surges of about 1/2 second duration. It is mostly noticeable where the background is moving which would make me think it could be a lack of processing power, but these are not very high bit-rate files and besides, it only happens on certain ones. The files play fine on my PC by the way. I've tried a few different video players and upgraded my firmware from 20111102 to 20120111 but it's still the same. I have uploaded a short clip if anyone wants to download it and take a look.

I tried the test clip you provided, and had no problems playing it with MoboPlayer. Every avi I have tried has run smoothly with MoboPlayer. I am using the 20120111 firmware update.

I think it' not a hardware problem , because I found a remote that turn OFF and ON my ATV 1000.
I have a HUMAX DIGI+C HD receiver and the remote of this , is capable to do this with the audio option button.

I can confirm your experience...:):)
For the first time I could power off and on my ATV1000 using the mute button
on remote control of my AzBox Elite Hd (sat decoder).

Hi gio965,

Power button works on my box ATV1000, I also bought it almost an year ago.
When push it, the box will stop. And you can install quick boot apk in Google Play to reboot it.

Great firmware...:):):)
Among various improvements, (root, centered cursor)
I noticed that issue on Network app has been solved,
the streaming is smoothly and audio/video is perfectly syncronized.
Web browsing and Youtube videos in HD are simply fantastic...

Video player stock improved :
-save changed settings in movie player
-adjusting subtitle position on the screen
Power button works.
N64oid, Nesoid... games work fine as like as Gingerbread !

I am going to upload some libs (joydev.ko, xpad.ko ) and app(gamepadIME) and write the guide for using gamepad (wireless gamepad Xbox 360) on ATV1000, but now I don't know how to begin, hope will post it soon.


Ps: Small stupid question, I couldn't find thanks button in forum, where does it locate ?

No you can't .. Quick Boot doesn't work ! I have to hold the POWER BUTTON on the box a while and it will shut down

Interesting. I decided to download antutu benchmark and try it on mine.
It didn't show up in market on my device so I downloaded it on my phone, then transferred and installed it.

I'm on 2.2 as I had to revert back to minimise audio/video sync issue.

I got a score of 2473.

It messed with the screen during a couple of the tests for me.

The above file is an Xvid type AVI file.I downloaded it and tried on my device with GB 2.3.4. I played it using the built-in player , ES Player and MX Player app & Mobo Player, all had the same result. It was NOT playing smoothly. There was a slight stutter. I played the same file on my Sybas chipset media player, it played smoothly. I then took a similar file (AVI file but Xvid variant) from my media player and then played on my ATV4000 , i had same result. The picture had a stutter. The motion had a jerkyness to it.

I now conclude that my ATV4000 cannot play Xvid files smoothly . It maybe a case of the Xvid codec missing or needs a newer version. This jerkyness may not be noticed by all.

** I uploaded more players such as CineXplayer, VPlayer and RockPlayer Lite to test Xvid playback. So far RockPlayer Lite plays Xvid the best. I have also read on Google that Android does not support Xvid natively.Being an ex-TV video editor it does make me want to find out why a video file does not work...:D:D:D

Yes, I think you're right. I've looked at my files and the ones that have the effect worst are all Xvid, although some Divx5 files do also exhibit a slight jerkiness. I'll give RockPlayer a try. It's a little disappointing because I was hoping to use the Geniatech to play all my media files. Being realistic about it though, I suppose you can't expect a

Feel free to PM me with any updates if you would like.
 
Hi people...

Any one knows if the firmwares for geniatech are compatible with the FV-3 device?

The FV-3 seems to be very similar to ATV1000, but looks like there is no official updates available for that device like geniatech does.

I'm intrested in the ATV1000, but is more expensive than the FV-3 and looks like asia pads is having problems with geniatech.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards.

We like to keep FAQ threads locked so they stay neat and tidy. It does not mean it cannot be changed. If anyone has information they want added, updated, or removed for obsolescence, either hit report or PM me and I'll take care of it.

That way the FAQ only contains relevant, community produced and vetted information.
 
FAQ is a great idea, keep up the good work, thanks.

My ATV1000 was on ICS for a while and while I found it quite good, I needed to have the MyGiga TV dongle working so went back to gingerbread. I miss the nice graphics on ICS though.

Any idea when the TV dongle will be supported on ICS?

In a pdf file posted by gboijhpok, many months ago (http://androidforums.com/3394580-post266.html),
it's explained that there are different hardware versions of ATV1000
and v1.5 (probably mine) has not power on/off function, using 2.4Ghz remote control.
I tried quick boot.apk and other apps on Market, but they didn't work
(flash reboot widget free.apk and reboot widget for root user.apk worked only
in reboot mode but not for power on/off).
Only mute button on an IR remote control (Azbox Elite Hd) works...
(our device has an IR receiver on the front side, for optional IR remote).
 
Hello guys,
First let me thank you so much for the hard-work you are putting in this.

I have a question about Google Play, under the latest firmware 0529 I always seem to get the Asian side of Google Play, even the currency is in $HK, I am not sure if there is a fix around that ..?

Apparently because its set to the Asian market I am missing some features of the US Google Play (movie and book rental), I have double checked the build.props and it says langauge=en and locale=US, double checked language settings and there is nothing unusual there, have even checked modded Google Play APKs that I know worked on my tablet and connects to the US side of things, but got the same results.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

try to update attached patch to replace the area setting in play store(don't unzip, change the file name to update.img).
you have to clear all play store data before updating this patch:
go to setting->apps->all->find google play store and google services framework->clear user data, then, force stop them, after finished, update the patch as firmware upgrading steps.
