[tigkal]

Good day mga boss! May alam po ba kayong store that sell this media player? Tia!

I believe this is available in Lazada.

It is available indeed. But the issue is it is shipped from abroad. usually it takes 3 to 4 weeks to get here and the very high probability it will get lost due to it high retail value. Unless you will use fedex or DHL. But it will cost around 2k to 3k  + customs tax + vat to send it here.

I am estimating it will cost between 10.5k to 12k gross  if you sent it through DHL or Fedex .

Just get it here locally. Warranty and delivery times will not be a problem.

Ayun nakabili na ako sa Villman Trinoma! Kakatuwa ung UI. Ibang iba na pala mga player now... meron po bang remote apps na pwede magamit for my Minix? Hassle ung included remote..

Di ko din magets ung Kodi na sinasabi. Haha as of now, thru MX Player lang ako nanunuod ng movie

Really recommended to buy an A2 Lite remote. For the meantime you can plug in a mouse to make it easier to navigate the menus. You can also download the minix remote control app for android phones:

Actually you will not have the hassles you described if you buy through Lazada. They will take care of it for you. You just complete the purchase and wait for delivery at your specified delivery address. Mahaba nga lang waiting time - up to a month. I've done it several times.

The problem with buying the U1 thru Lazada is that it's more expensive than buying at the local stores.

Mga bossing, is this player capable of playing MKV H.265 video files?

YES.

[nallasartal]

Is there an app on our android Phones so that we can use our phone as remote control for the Minix?

I finally bought the Minix U1, my question relates to the HDMI cable, since what is included in the box is too short for what I need, I want to purchase a replacement. My question is there is an HDMI 1.4 two meters that I saw being sold and I'm afraid that that version is not compatible or would affect playablity of some files (h.265 video movies), is it really required to purchase an HDMI 2.0 cable? Where can I buy such cable?

Cardinal Audio 3rd floor V-Mall Greenhills has HDMI 2 cables. I just bought a 1.8 meter for 1,300 earlier. Is your TV a 4k TV?

[nallasartal]

@Conan, at the moment wala pa akonv 4k tv, but planning to buy one soon. Btw, would it be possible to use both wifi and lan connection at the same time? Wifi for my internet connection (malayo kasi yung distance to my router) and LAN connection for WD My Book Live...

I use a wired connection to my Android TV box.

[nallasartal]

Tried it myself, it is not possible to use wifi and ethernet at the same time

Better check official minix forum baka bug or limitation

http://www.minixforum.com/threads/minix-u1-wifi-wont-turn-on.10848/
Ethernet and Wi-Fi cannot work simultaneously.

You may utilize the software Ethernet switch we have introduced in FW005 so that you don't have to unplug the cable.
Thanks.

Minix u1 wifi won't turn on

@flashDB, thanks for the link...

[nallasartal]

@shoestrings, if you can wait Minix is releasing a Neo 9-H, which could be better than U1. But I do not know when it would be available here in the Philippines. Just google it

Guys any recommended GamePad controller for U1?
gusto ko kasing mag classic games like Super Mario 3, Metal Slug etc 

BTW. ganda ng controller app nito. super thumbs up  may mouse, keyboard, multimedia, etc.
kaya parang nag aalangan ako sa A2 lite. 1.5k rin kasi un.

[uvax]

I have an iPega PG-9028 bluetooth controller. It's my son who uses it for classic games and he's very satisfied with it.

Good news to all U1 users who are using 4-bay probox.. the unit can detect and read all the harddisk now in my probox plus another external hdd via firmware 10 😂😂😂

Now im solved with my U1 😉

Firmware update link...
http://www.minixforum.com/threads/neo-u1-fw010-20161012.14475/

Firmware 11 is also available now but i haven't installed it coz i did not encounter some problems on fw 10 😉

[nallasartal]

@reynold, FW 11 solves some issues (which I have not experienced) and not much different from FW 10
