Hi, I had a KM8 Pro 2GB/8GB with the Amlogic S912 which served me great for years. I decided to get a new box since A4Ksubtitles and opensubtitles.com was not supported after .org went premium and it was a lot of work to get single subtitle files onto the box when unavailable.
Anyway, I decided to upgrade to the latest version and used the exact same Samsung Evo SD card in a Tanix W2 S905W2 2GB/16GB box. The install went fine. However, after scanning the movie library there are certain parts of the OS that run really sluggish making it unusable. I’m running a USB SSD for the 1080P movie library and movie playback starts fine, but there will be a spinning green circle in the middle of the screen for about 20 seconds while the movie is playing. The playback UI is inaccessible as it’s loading and all buttons on the remote are ignored.
Some movie cover thumbnails are also slow to load or don’t load at all. Even marking a movie as watched will have a spinning circle on the movie as it tries to get the action done. I would think it’s the micro SD card, but I did not have this problem with the same card on the KM8 Pro and as far as I understand it the S905W2 is a sidegrade CPU. I’ve checked and there’s plenty of free RAM and CPU load available.
Any idea what the problem is?
