Could you tell me how the mecool stacks up in terms of buffering vs firestick and kinhank ? Anyone know ?

[@tvboxstop]

The box is their best box yet. I believe they rushed without dotting all the I's and crossing the T'S. They already released one update and they will be releasing another. When they do it will be the best for Q1 2024.

[@rctechtime]

Right (we’re stilll waiting this update ) but it’s next up , they updated the kd5 for some reason, but it’s listed as next to update , & I don’t know if there going to create another one like this (rumors are they expect it to continue on a long time with os updates and may skip 1-2 here n there but they’re going to continue supporting this. they’ll definitely continue releasing devices. But with ONN @ 50$! A new device in USA. Not many people are going to pay 80-120$ for devices anymore when the onn specs are just as good. (If you havent gottten your hands on 1 I suggest u try it out)

[@tomscurlock3]

MeCool is one of the best out there. I was not surprised to see this device. As always your review was precise and informative. I am going to pick up a KM2.

[@tvboxstop]

Thank you very much!

[@cliffordgallagher4531]

Always good to see you out with another video bud!

[@tvboxstop]

Thanks 👍 more to come

[@patrickcadette]

Promising but to many bugs.. this was definitely a rush job. Mecool has been wzy to long in the business to put a product like this on the market..But this should be a great product pending its firmware update..this is why you are one of the greatest nick..keeping those companies in check..the community appreciates you...awesome as usual...😁😁😁👍👍👍❤

[@tvboxstop]

I already have some updates and need to redo the video.

[@khapgar123]

Great review! I think I want to give this box a try, I am new to android boxes , so this will be my first true android streaming box.

[@tvboxstop]

Hope you enjoy it!

Awesome device

[@khapgar123]

I just ordered one. It should be here by the weekend. I can't wait to try it out.

[@AnthonyWitherington]

I've had this device for about 3months now but it's unopened,I'm waiting for Android 12 or at least for allbug concerns to be addressed so I shall continue with 3rd gen cube and formuler Z11 pro max until issues have been addressed hopefully The devices I am using receive regular updates

[@rctechtime]

@@AnthonyWitherington it runs perfectly just fyi there is one more update though and it’s next , they just rolled out a kd5 stick update for some reason.

[@colin7225]

Can we have a follow up video on the new update? They supposedly fixed the hdr issues.

[@tvboxstop]

Sorry friend I cannot do an update because the box was sold as an open box deal.

[@russelldye5506]

Pretty solid box, waiting on seeing updated video hoping it fixes the buds. yes thay would be great give away

[@tvboxstop]

Will do

[@Nite-owl]

I've watched videos showing this box downloading over LAN at over 400Mb/s, so I'd say it's definitely NOT limited to 100. The WiFi was even faster.

[@tvboxstop]

Yes at first I had a faulty LAN cable that if you are brought to my attention because he had this box also an were getting LAN speeds. Once I repair the cable I was able to get gigabit LAN speeds also. And yes it's a Wi-Fi speeds is pretty impressive.

It's a nice box but not alot different from kickp1 Which is alot cheaper

[@jurgenmario1135]

There are 2 more bugs to be reported to Mecool. Those 2 bugs are also present on the KM2 plus (non deluxe) model. 1. As you can see in AIDA64 the display resolution is reported at 1920x1080. This results in Kodi to not being able to playback in 4K resolution. Other media players work instead but Kodi is supposed to be the most used one. 2. If you connect a Dolby Atmos certified Bluetooth headset to the box audio output in Netflix downgrades to 5.1 instead of giving the full Atmos experience. I'm using the LG tone free T90Q and i can clearly hear the difference playing back the same movie on Netflix on my Mecool or on my dolby Atmos certified laptop where the audio output stays on Atmos.

[@tvboxstop]

Thanks for highlighting those additional bugs I hope they see it and add it to the firmware update

[@jurgenmario1135]

@@tvboxstop it would be nice if you could report it to them as you have an open communication channel. Hoping that they read it here is kind of hopeless. Further i would like to clarify that i have the non deluxe version of the box, KM2 plus, so hopefully the future update will be available for this box too and not just for the deluxe version. Thank you very much

[@tvboxstop]

OK done I will let you know if they respond

[@MECOOLOfficial]

Hello， thank you for your feedback. 1. The resolution displayed by aida64 is ui resolution. 2. Netflix focuses on researching sound effects for TVs, but does not prioritize researching sound effects for Bluetooth headsets.

[@jurgenmario1135]

@@MECOOLOfficial thank you for your answer but then how do you explain it that Kodi is playing a 4K video file from local storage only in FHD? That is from local storage, not from streaming. And regarding the Atmos question why my Atmos certified laptop plays the same movie on Netflix in Atmos using these Atmos certified headsets and your box not?

[@rickgear2579]

I rip 4K blurays and I have long been searching for a box that will play full Profile 7 Dolby Vision along with lossless DTS:X and Dolby Atmos. ANy suggestions? There doesn't appear to be a box other than Ugoos AM6B Plus with CoreELEC installed. You seem to know your stuff. Any suggestions?

[@jduffenais]

I like my deluxe mecool but it's having an audio issue when playing through my surround sound. I'm getting a 1 second no audio issue about every 25 mins. I'm doing alot of testing with different devices and apps....it seems to be only on the meecool. Other issue I see...there internet connections aren't very stable. Wifi 6 is great ..but drops off too much. Very sparatic. Even being harwired..hardwired...speeds are great..but every now and again..the box freezes..takes about 30 seconds then works fine again. Thinking maybe the remote disconnects and reconnects. I'm still testing to track these things down. Other than these issues..the box is very good...plays anything you throw at it perfectly

[@MazharHussain-ml7gr]

Hi, Thanks for review. Please recommend which one is better, this one or Rocktek G2 or homatics box r 4k plus? I am asking for streaming and watching movies from hdd purpose.

[@tvboxstop]

Based on the chipset both boxes will be able to deliver efficiently. However, the big question always is which brand releases updates to maintain their boxes. I can only speak for Homatics who I have seen release updates in the past. However I haven't seen updates in recent months.

[@MazharHussain-ml7gr]

[@antianterson5778]

tnx forthis video my brother.... a question? mecool mk2 plus or mecool mk2 plus deluxe?

[@tvboxstop]

Deluxe is better

[@mexicovisionalmundo3898]

Do you recommend buying the Nvidia Shield in 2024?

[@tvboxstop]

Yes it is still the best-certified model, but if they don't lunch a new model other boxes are quickly catching up. Some already beat them in hardware performance but are not certified models. If you compare certified models, the price of the Nvidia shield is the best bang for the buck plus professional grade hardware and service.

[@Matthys70]

In the Cons you mention NON-GB Lan (100M), but at Mecool it says 1000M LAN -> WiFi 6 ensures improved and speedier internet connectivity for your smart home. Coupled with a 1000M-LAN port, you can enjoy seamless and uninterrupted entertainment, enhancing your overall viewing experience.

[@tvboxstop]

The product description states 1000 Mbps LAN however, in my repeated testing it never crossed 100Mbps. Which tells me it's not a gigabit LAN port, because it would've been on par with the 5 GHz band

[@ahmadhafidzabdulhamid86]

Please review RockTek G2

[@tvboxstop]

Yes it is on the way, but it is going to take a while to arrive from China

[@jprofiler]

And once again an absolute total failure from mecool. The fact that there is no USB 3.0 port on a Deluxe version is still acceptable, but the fact that they advertise that all formats are perfectly supported and therefore run properly and then draw comparisons with Nvidia Shield TV (although I would like to point out at this point that nVidia does not offer any kind of service after the warranty has expired) is absolutely unacceptable in view of the fact that the formats are not functional. After some tests, which every user here is welcome to carry out themselves if they are in possession of the box, it does play Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision is also possible, but only in conjunction with Netflix, which means that Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision simply only work with Netflix and other streaming providers and not with KZbin or videos from the hard disk. However, this is different with other providers that work accordingly, so be careful when shopping otherwise you will unfortunately be annoyed!

[@tvboxstop]

It's a credible argument stated the facts, and I appreciate your input

[@Steve0885]

Maybe you're the total failure

[@lowrider692000]

would you say this box is better then the HOMATICS Box R 4K Plus please as you do seem to be in the know about boxes, I,m looking for a high end box for streaming or the best box out there for 2024...thank you

The KM 2 plus deluxe may have slightly better hardware performance and benchmarks, however the Homatics box R 4K has the better firmware and updates. Since Mecool Launched this model they have not updated the firmware to fix the bugs.

[@tvboxstop]

Bedoelt u dat u de functies ervan moet testen voordat u bestelt? Waar ik het over heb, is dat sommige mobiele telefoons een virtuele ruimte hebben waar u met de software kunt communiceren voordat u deze daadwerkelijk aanschaft. Dat is niet beschikbaar voor Android-boxen. De beste manier om te beslissen is door naar mijn recensies te kijken, aangezien ik probeer ze zo gedetailleerd mogelijk te maken. Alles wat je niet weet, kun je vragen. Ik zal mijn best doen om het te testen en je een antwoord te geven.

Jeez.. the prices of these devices are going towards the Shield, but the performance is still way off

Yes I agree. I hear you and other subscribers concerns about pricing all the time, that's why I decided to sell some of these boxes at 50% off to anyone who would like to own one but just can't pay that price. The only downside is I only receive single pieces and my shipping is usually economy Express shipping.

[@arkadiuszk.3898]

Crazy price of $135. Xiaomi Mi Box 2 costs $55 and Google Chromecast costs $65. They only have 2 GB of RAM, but they do the same thing.

Not quite. The hardware used in this box is not as powerful as the Amlogic S905Y4-J. The box is lack adequate I/O ports, and the CPU clock speed is below average.

Hmmm? Mecool Km2 plus Deluxe or Nvidia Shield tv? Thats the question
