Hello,
Is there any way to update the included kodi version to the latest one, tried all the ways i could think of but still not successful to update. Is there any way i can update this kodi version to the latest one so i can get more benefits out of this box, such as installing other iptv pvrs etc, since Iks is dead who cares losing satellite functions. Please let me know.
Thanks
problem with this is that the newer Kodi versions need a minimal Android Operating System of version 5.0
And the T6 has a lower Android OS, which is Android version 4.2.2
Thanks for the quick reply, is there anyway to update the Android version to the newer version such as 5 or even 6? Lets keep talking on this since dreamlink support team wont release any newer firmware for this pricey box we have to somehow find a solution to turn this box in much of a more useful box.Quote:

you can not update the Android version on the T6, no
You can play with .apk file installs. Do that thru Kodi > Programs and the there are a few ways to do it.
Use the AppInstaller or File browser or ES File Browser
You would take an .apk file like progtv
Put that apk onto a USB drive and insert into T6Code:https://apkpure.com/progtv-android/com.progdvb.progtva
Open AppInstaller and find the USB and open that. You should see the content of USB now. Find your apk there and click on it to install.
That app can be used with m3u Playlists.
File browser or ES File Browser will install the apk in similar fashion.
Then find the Player in the Programs (on the Kodi bar) and in Android Apps
With some of these Players, they work okay on the older Android OS
Players I have installed and used on the T6 include...
ProgTV - this is a long time supported app and has many functions, and not just a m3u Player.
PlayList Loader - m3u Player
Simple IPTV with mxPlayer -m3u Player
VLC Media Player - not much success seen with this.
I been looking for an app called WEB (TVonWEB Emulator) ... it is a Stalker emulator and I wanted to try it on the T6
That app comes included in the Avov's Market and I have used it on that box, but yet to find it in apk version to try on this T6
There are endless possibilities with these apk installs.
Thanks a lot bud will try this for sure in the morning up... thumbs up for your support for the community and these forums..:)Quote:

There are glitches to be seen.
If you spend too much time scrolling (especially quickly scrolling) the channels in the channel list, the app will crash and you would have to start it up again. Or same thing happens if you are too quick with the remote functions, sometimes it will crash the program. And one other troublesome area is when you switch between catagories it will sometimes crash.
Using the T6 remote over a wireless mouse seems to be more stable.
But if you are careful not to go too fast with your command inputs, overall it runs pretty smoothly on the T6.
The T6 remote will do everything needed, I always say to get a wireless mouse or mini keyboard for these setups, but the T6 remote does a fair job and with no functionality loose in any area of the program.
Might wanna try it out for chits and giggles :)
the t6 isn't a good box
never was
time to move on
not a bash...just the truth
The T6 is an example of what could have been.Quote:

I take the T6 off the shelve every now and again to play around with it. It is at the very least, fun to mess with, unlike any other.
FTA and iptv both working fine at present, with using the correct goods on the T6.
