K99 runs Android 6.0 operating system, and ship with a power adapter, an IR remote control, a HDMI cable, and a user’s manual. Please note that Rockchip RK3399 is not a TV box SoC, and lacks the latests features like HDR, and HD audio (TrueHD / DTS HD) pass-through is not guaranteed to work. However, you’ll still be able to watch most videos, and performance will be much better than previous generations leading to smoother games, and faster web browsing and general user experience. From that point of view, Rockchip RK3388 boxes might be seen as Android mini PCs, rather than TV boxes focusing on the best AV experience. We’ll have to see what the first reviews reveal to find out.

116 Kodi add-ons you’re probably watching that could be breaching copyright laws

$

The team behind the Kodi media player used by millions around the world to watch movies, TV shows and live sports says it is sick of being linked to piracy.

The platform has grown to become one of the most used pieces of software that people use to stream, download and obtain copyright infringing content.

But those using the Kodi name to promote streaming copyrighted material are facing legal action for trademark abuse.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

Living rooms around the globe are likely to have a device running Kodi because it is so easy to run on Smart TVs.

The problem is that Kodi is just a media player, it carries no content.

However, it has the ability to run third-party plugins that in many instances make infringing content available to the user.

So, when people load Kodi with plugins recommended by a friend and see the latest movies listed, they believe that Kodi – and the people behind Kodi – are the ones providing them with the movies.

For Team Kodi this is a huge problem.

Not only is it already wrongly associated with an ever-increasing amount of infringing activity, the installed add-ons often break or do not function as advertised. When users get problems they head off to the Kodi forums and vent.

The recent media spotlight on the arrests of five people in England for selling pre-loaded Kodi set-top boxes worth £250,000 has led the team to update its list of add-ons that are not associated with the Kodi brand.

Anyone accessing content from a pirate site is involving themselves in unlawful behaviour, however, no-one in Britain has ever been fined or prosecuted for illegally streaming content.

If you’ve got, or seen the original Chromecasts that’s what I was expecting. This has a metal case, and very satisfying heft and just screams quality. This is a very snappy PC. You could easily use this as a desktop replacement if all you do is Internet/Email/Office work. Obviously, this isn’t a gaming PC, it’s not a video editing PC.

Supported a 128gb card no issues. The build quality and texture is top notch. A great alternative to other higher price units out there.

Its small form factor (135 x 90 x 20mm) allows you to carry this device in your suitcase, backpack, or even your pocket.

“This is a great mini PC. I purchased to replace a large laptop which operates the projector using OpenLP presentation software. OpenLP loads and runs smoothly with no problems. Screen is nice and clear, and Windows 10 runs smoothly. High speed SD cards do not run in this devise, but Class4 cards run smoothly. I use 32GB Class4 card without problems, and run large high definition mp4 files with no issues. I use a Rii i8 92 Key Wireless Keyboard Mouse Touchpad Combo, or just a wireless mouse, depending on application, and these both work great. HDMI and HDMI to VGA adapters work well and sound quality through both HDMI and the headphone port is fantastic. The Gole1 is perfect for my use and I am very happy with this purchase.”

 

  1. Byte Plus Intel CherryTrail T3 Z8300 Quad-Core Mini PC (4GB + 32GB)

Connect the byte plus to any TV or monitor with an HDMI or VGA port and stream Netflix, YouTube or Amazon Prime. Use Microsoft office to complete any tasks for business or school, whatever the task, the byte plus is up for the challenge!

 “This is a nice little computer for casual work, but it’s also an excellent media hub. Quite a bargain, in fact. It’s very small and stylish, solidly constructed. It’s also dead quiet. Like another commenter, I would spend a little more for the more powerful model. But even this one does just about anything most of us need. Note that while you CAN install LInux, Ubuntu 15 and up is the best choice, since it accomodates the 32-bit BIOS. After struggling with some other builds, I found that this is the easiest way to go. Other versions are difficult to install. If you are happy with Windows, all the better.”

Kodi Box seems dangerous in the UK

USING a Kodi Box could soon be illegal, following a fresh round of discussions from the UK’s Intellectual Property Office about how best to tackle copyright and fraud caused by these hugely-popular streaming boxes.

Following a growing number of complaints from right-holders and broadcasters, the UK’s Intellectual Property Office, or IPO, is purportedly holding a number of meetings to decide whether the law needs to be changed to tackle the popularity of Kodi boxes.

There have already been a number of arrests due to Kodi boxes in the UK.

Five people accused of selling illegally modified versions of the popular set-top boxes were taken into custody last month after a series of early morning raids.

Cases are pending, but there is clearly a focus on these boxes.

For those who do not know, Kodi is an open-source media player that’s available to install on a range of devices.

The software was previously known as XBMC, or Xbox Media Centre, since that was the only hardware is was designed to run on.But that has changed over the years, as the media player evolved, thanks to hundreds of coders across the globe tinkering with the software.

Since it first launched back in 2003, Kodi has been shaped by some 500 developers and 200 translators.

And now the open-source media player runs on a whole host of different devices. In fact, some estimates place 20 million devices in use in the UK at the moment.

In a nutshell, it turns any desktop computer, server, smartphone, tablet or set-top box into a media player able to stream files from the internet, your home network or local HDD storage. Unlike the Apple TV, Google ChromeCast or others, the Kodi media player is not restricted by licensing agreements, or a curated app store.

That means Kodi users can download a plethora of community-built apps, that might not be approved under the guidelines that govern the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and others.

The Kodi software itself is perfectly legal, however, it does allow users to install additional applications that allow them to access copyrighted material – uploaded, shared or streamed from other users across the globe.However the problem with Kodi is that content is illegally taken from content providers like Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Netflix, BBC Worldwide and others.

Those who use the Kodi platform to access this material would be taking a serious risk.

Obviously accessing the material in this manner is illegal.

One problem viewers who use the Kodi platform face is, unlike the carefully-curated Apple App Store or Google Play Store, it might not always be clear where the content is coming from – or whether it has been legally obtained.
