Ugoos X4 Pro with Amlogic S905X4

Now that you have brought it to their attention, I am sure they will have it fixed soon.

4k50/60hz is fixed a long time ago already. Use latest status of CE.

Yeah, thats why I think that it could be related to my HDMI cable.
It’s already on the latest stable release but can’t play smooth.
But I’ll try another cable anytime soon

How is CE running on Ugoos X4 pro? Any issues?

I am thinking of buying an Ugoos X4 Pro 4gb/32GB but before I do can anyone confirm that with the bespoke Ugoos X4 DTB does everything work properly with CE 19.5rc2 ?? Particularly does the Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi and Bluetooth devices all work okay in CE ?? Is this box really a much better box than the cheap ones at half this price ??

I also need Android 11 too for my Digital Concert Hall app Version 3.x as that gives me the ATMOS Immersive Audio option not available with Android 9 boxes which only install version 2.x without ATMOS.

One thing I notice is that there seems to be no indicator light to show when the box is on and working ?? Unless there is such an indicator led that is just not easy to see in the pictures of this box.

Finally I did purchase a Tanix X4 box recently but wish I had not. No WIFi or BT in CoreELEC and no needed drivers available apparently and it only has a 100MB LAN port. I get bad buffering on my IPTV streaming In CoreELEC with the latest PVR Simple Client installed and with this standard LAN port it reports that the connection is too slow. It should not buffer even with FHD IPTV streaming with the standard 100Mbps LAN port surely and it only buffers with the IPTV streaming and no other high resolution video streaming. Cannot test it with WIFi as not drivers available of course. It also buffers with IPTV on Android but not as badly as in CE. I do not get any IPTV problem with my older Tanix TX5 Deluxe S905X3 box with its gigabit LAN port. I always connect my boxes to my Gigabit router and fast 1000 Mbps fibre connection.

Did you see the review on here about my Ugoos X4? I can do some specific test if need be.

[/quote] Not sure what this means, or how to test.

Also, I was lucky and got the HKR box X4 that works perfectly for me. My preference is the HKR box, but t that is just my opinion.

Hey clarkss12
This box is only 100 mbit ethernet lan?
From reviews
There is no gbit?

Happy Testing

Another option is the BuzzTV X5 with gigabit

The HKR X4 comes in two versions, fast ethernet and gigabit ethernet. The problem is, they swapped the ethernet adaptor to one that CE does not support. My HKR X4 has gigabit ethernet that works with CE perfectly.

There are actually (at least) 3 versions, the 100 Mb and 1000Mb like the Ugoos plus one with the 1000Mb JL2101 chip instead of RealTek which is the one that doesn’t work with CE but it can run at 100Mb using pieces of a PR that was closed.

Was referring to the Ugoos x4 pro
Gig ethernet?
Then remember/reread post about clicking wrong button and getting the Cube instead when you ordered…

I also am fortunate to have the rtl8211f in my
Hk1x4
So have working 1000mbit ethernet

I think the Ugoos x4 Pro does come with
1000 mbit ethernet version.
However which chipset?
Jl2101.?

Happy Testing

Thank you
For info

Thanks for the feedback guys.

What I really need to know is whether the Ugoos X4 Pro 4/32GB box will do the job for me. So I need the current CE 19.5 rc2 to work with such a box with fully working WiFi and BT drivers and Gigabit LAN port in the bespoke DTB file I see available. As a pensioner I cannot afford to buy another next to useless box like the Tanix X4 which at least has Android 11 and works with the latest Berliner Philharmonic Digital Concert Hall (DCH) V3.x Android subscription app with full immersive ATMOS audio too :slight_smile:

So can I order a Ugoos X4 Pro 4/32GB box with a good degree of confidence ? Also can someone tell me whether it has it an indicator LED to show when it is on and running, which I find very useful ?? Wish it had a front panel display like the Tanix X4 and many other cheaper boxes.

I love the GT King box but it only has a non ungradable Android 9 OS which will not work for my DCH latest V 3.x app. However I know from friends who have one I have helped set up and playing around with one on loan here that this is a great fast reliable box in CE. The new GT King Mk II with Android 11 is sadly way way too expensive and is also still awaiting CE support too of course. So the Ugoos X4 pro at around 80 pounds sterling including free shipping from Alliexpress seems a good affordable choice.

BTW like most folk here I run CE from a fast Sandisk Ultra 32GB 120 MB/s SD card which I find is plenty fast enough, and rather than from messing around with installing CE to internal memory.

Due to the ongoing chip crisis, you can’t be sure of anything, unless you try it out with the device right in front of you. This is the cold, hard truth nowadays.

I hate my Uoogs X4, and will donate it to you (otherwise it will be tossed into my junk box). It is only the 2/16 model, I screwed up when ordering it.
I can’t find a way to PM you on this forum.

What is the appeal to dual booting Android and CE when most devices have multiple HDMI ports? The Ugoos X4 is about the same prices as the N2+ and a Google approved Android box with L1 and then they can both run from emmc.

Thanks a lot but I live in Thailand and the postage would be quite horrific. Anyway I need a 4/32GB model but appreciate your kind offer clarkss12.

As to dual booting well to be honest I despise Android and hardly ever use it as it is IMHO unfit for purpose having to switch from remote to mouse and just so kludgy and awful, and yes I know my box does not have Android TV but a modified mobile phone OS. I would not entertain an Android phone either to be honest and love my now old iPhone 6+

I love CoreELEC KODI and use that almost exclusively. The only exception is for the Digital Concert Hall app which I have no choice but to run from Android 11 with full ATMOS immersive audio, as no KODI addon available. The LG Smart TV app will not run with ATMOS audio as just freezes when I try. The developers of the app know about this and are working on it.

Hmm still has not answered my questions. I really cannot afford to buy another box that is useless to me. Such a shame that my favourite box the GT King cannot be upgraded to Android 11 which I need for the DCH app as mentioned above.

Also I see the Odroid N2+ is about twice the price of the Ugoos X4 Pro 4/32 model at Alliexpress. So I see no point in paying out that much money when I really don’t use Android much at all and it is easy to reboot to Android on the single HDMI port boxes. Not using Android I really try to avoid Goggle support at all times as I am not a lover of them at all as I find them corrupt to be honest.

I simply love CoreELEC KODI as it is to me a million times better than Android as a media player and for what I want from a streaming box

I would rather pay a similar price to the N2+ for the new Beelink GT Link ll once the CE support is available soon for the new cpu. Also better still Beelink support CoreELEC too which for me is much more important than Google support. But again that is just too much for me to pay. The X4 Pro 4/32GB at about 80 UK pounds with free shipping from Alliexpress is just about my limit if it works fully with CoreELEC 19.5 rc2 and later.

Does anyone here know when CoreELEC will support the new Beelink GT King Mkll with the new 8 core Amlogic processor. Yes it is expensive but the spec looks incredible and I might instead of getting the Ugoos save up for the new GT King ll I have always loved Beelink boxes. Difficult decision so feedback appreciated. I would just get a much cheaper GT King WIFI 6 Mk l box now if only it had Android 11 needed for my DCH app with ATMOS.

Beelink GT King II is same SoC than Khadas VIM4 and both will be supported by new upcoming CoreELEC project Amlogic-ne. It’s quite finished to have a basic experience. But still a lot of work is todo. We are right now at the finish line and a public release should happen soon.
