I really like the new cooling design, I only wish I could actually test it temperature. Keep up the good work Mecool.
QUESTION: Can a separate browser, such as Firefox, be installed on this Google certified box? It's my understanding that these Google boxes have a problem with 3rd party apps. Thanks
sure you can install any browser you like, from the play store or sideloaded
@@tvboxstop Too late! After watching your Transpeed x4 video, I ordered one. Being delivered today! It seems like a good box, especially at the price. My wife just said that she loves your voice so smooth and silky.
Hey sorry that you missed the opportunity to get this model, however the Transpeed X4 is indeed a great TV Box. I appreciate the compliment from your spouse and will continue to do my best.

Sertifikası olması güzel fiyat performans ürünü güzel inceleme tanıtım videosu güzel olmuş teşekkürler saygılar
İzlediğiniz için teşekkürler. Yeni eklediğim altyazıları kaçırdığım için özür dilerim. Yine de yıkandın.
I couldn't believe this unit scored so high single core benchmark 900 wow if it had 4 gigs of ram i would turn it into a retro gaming machine by the way what was the name of that game you was playing Nick great video as usual
That shadowgun legends on the Android TV version of the play store. Also available on the mobile version. It is gamepad compatible.
Thanks so much for these videos and for the webside.
May I humbly suggest testing compatibility with game controllers, a retro emulator and geforce now/xbox game streaming
Sure man
Great review, Nick! Very informative.
Thanks as always for the visit
Great video! Thank you!
Can you please upload those demo videos somewhere?
Sorry pal I shared my videos in the past and it came back to bite me with people claiming copyright by taking the videos uploading its to websites and claimant ownership on RUclips. Then coming back to my videos and flagging them for copyright and claiming revenues be paid to them from my videos or a manual takedown of my videos.
So as simple as it may sound just uploading my videos and sharing it I humbly decline to do so.
Awesome
Thanks
Nick are you going to review the H96 Max v58 based on the Rockchip 3588 ? Thanks 👍
Most definitely
Nick will
You be reviewing the km2
Plus deluxe? If so just a heads up a lot of people are asking for information about they “specific”
Dolby atmos sound quality , we know it works
Along with Dolby vision. Everyone’s curious about all audio qualities etc. (I own one myself ) but only so much I can test
Yes I have it with me already is carded in the next 2 -3 weeks based on my schedule.
Hello, thank you for the great video, may I please ask two questions? 1) will it play Amazon Prime in BOTH HD AND 4k (as with NetFlix and RUclips)? And 2) if this is No 27 on your rank, which one is close to No 1 that plays NetFlix, RUclips and Amazon Prime in both 4k and HD? Thank you!
Yes it plays Netflix and RUclips in HD and 4K. The top TV Boxes that plays Netflix, Amazon prime video, and RUclips in 4K and HD are the Nvidia shield, and the Amazon fire TV cube. And if you read my latest post the new Amazon fire TV cube is about to release.
I have a question, which is better to watch TV and football matches, the ugoos am7 or the micool km2 plus
The Ugoos AM7. However how well the football game streams will depend on the source of the APK or URL.
Hi. Great video. 2GB RAM sufficient? Does it lag when running multiple apps in the background? Thank you
2 GB is insufficient for streaming your paid subscriptions however for multitasking not so much.
Hi(again), i only use dlna for 4k videos.Can u tell about experience on Codi and VLC? I'm looking for some product who can make 100% no problems with these kind of files. What do u reccomend ? Cheers.
Now there is 4K videos, 4K HDR, 4K HDR AV1, and 4K HDR with surround sound audio formats. The Amlogic S905X4 chipset has some issues processing some of the surround sound audio formats such as a DTS X, DTS HD-MA, and Dolby TrueHD without the right firmware, decoders, and developer to put them together. Also the new X4 models and upwards are the only models that can play the new 4K AV1 format. So for this I recommend the TOX3 TV Box, and there is the new Ugoos X4Q Pro I'll be featuring soon. I have the new Beelink GT KIng II running on a new high-performance Amlogic chipset that I'm not sure how it will perform so you can also look forward to seeing how it does pertaining to 4K playback and surround sound audio.
Is there a box similar to this but does support DTS-X/HD and MA/True HD?
Sorry friend the only boxes that are good with certified with support for DTS HD Master audio/DTS X/and the true HD are:
Nvidia Shield pro
Google Chromecast
There are other models but they are not fully Google certified for Netflix and others in HD/4K
First thnx,
Which one should i choose km2 plus or hakomini?
Just important quality and performance for me so what's your advise?
The Mecool KM2 Plus the way better box
Hi Nick, tanks for this full review. I just discover mecool and now I hesitate. I was going to get a xiomi box s and I don’t know wich choice is the best. I just want an easy access to netflix hd or 4K (don’t really have a 4K player, just a full hd benq projector wich can upscale in 4K), And also an easy access to my private NAS with kodi or plex for personnal videos, pictures And sound). I have a gigabit fiber connexion and the xiaomi doesn’t have rj45, just usb 2.0. The mecool has an rj45 but only 100Mb, I wonder if I could have maximum speed with an usb 3 to gibabit ethernet converter (wich is by the way my idea with the xiaomi). Both have 802.11n wifi wich, I think, will limit the speed. Thanx for your answer if you can help me, and sorry for my poor english (I’m french😅)
Le Mecool KM2 plus aurait été ma recommandation facile. Cependant, le LAN 100 Mbps est votre préoccupation. J'ai également compris que vous recherchiez une box fonctionnant sous Android 11. Si Android 10Q n'est pas un problème pour vous, le Mecool KM2 est un LAN certifié avec 1000 Mbps. tvboxstop.com/mecool-km2-deals-and-discounts/
Thanks for your advice Nick !
Hi, would you be so kind and tell me the names of your first 2 benchmarking apps? The one for disk speed and the one for network speed. They look great but i can't find them. Thank you very much
A1 SD Bench and ookla speed test
Great vid as always.
Appreciate that
Can i ask what you think of xaomi tv box thank you.
@@johnridpeath1728 It's a Google certified model, it usually lacks hardware power and it's limited on ports. It usually has one USB port and no ethernet LAN port. Rarely the release new models so the hardware tends to be a bit outdated.
@@tvboxstop many thanks for your reply
Km2 plus audio output, can it output audio. It seems that there is no setting option.
Yes it does see here 10:23
Am looking a good tv box that can side load apps like fire box so i can use pop up blocker on it is this 1 any good
If you're looking to use web browser such as Firefox and ad blockers you need a box running the mobile version of Android and that's probably rooted. I recommend the latest Ugoos XQ4 Pro - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dd011fp when you get activate root access. My video on this box will be launched today.
I recently purchased mecool km2 plus. After it has been off for a long time and when it is turned on, it only displays an image in the upper left corner of the screen. It's strange that when I restart the device or turn it off and on again, the image returns to full screen.
Anyone having a problem?
Not that I recall
Not bad but I still love my old bb2 which I use as a 2nd box in a bedroom .👍
Man you have some vintage models
@@tvboxstop Yep but still work's brilliant I love old tech even got rid of my smart phone and went back to my old Nokia .👍
The adaptive HDR option is a must have feature. Another miss by Mecool.
Indeed
What frustrates me is that some of their boxes have adaptive HDR, one or two have gigabit Ethernet, a couple have Netflix certification, but to my knowledge, none give you all three. If they do that, they can differentiate themselves from the rest of the Android boxes for streaming at the very least. And with a decent amount of RAM maybe for gaming as well.
Dont care :v
What about Storage Access Framework issue which means you can't save files to USB drive? I would say that is real deal breaker.
I was able to move files from USB to internal storage as much as I can remember. I didn't try to copy files from internal storage two USB. I do have the box with me at this time as I am engaged in another video. Maybe I'll get the time later on.
@@tvboxstop Thanks for reply. With my firestick, I transfer files from NAS drive to USB thumb drive plugged into it via power pass through usb hub. I was enthusiastic about the mecool until I heard that I would not be able to do this. Hope you may look into this.
Hello, Does this device have dolby vision support or not? Is it said that there is not ?🤔
This device does not have Dolby Vision
Can it play DD+ audio? Also can it downmix TrueHD audio to 5.1 LPCM?
Yes it can play Dolby Digital plus once you switch your speaker configuration on your AV receiver from surround to front surround. However, it cannot play Dolby TrueHD and downscale to PCM. Maybe if you tried the latest version of Netflix Nexus it may provide some software decoding that can do it.

Hello, greetings from Turkey, which one should I buy among Xiaomi Mi box gen 2 and Mecool Km2 Plus?
If I had to choose I would go with the Mecool KM 2 plus. You get more I/O ports also compared to the Mi box that it does not even have an Ethernet LAN port and only one USB port.
@@tvboxstop
Thank you my friend, your videos are very good
Hello can it play dolby atmos sound from netflix also? U said only amazon play dolby atmos sound
Yes it can play Atmos from Netflix
The firmware version of my box is 20220613. HDR doesn't work, Dolby Vision activates for a few seconds only at power on, then SDR all the way, even if I turn on Always HDR.
I tried emailing mecool, but no response.
@@jadyn3713 I quoted your command on a support ticket and send it to Mecool requesting that they not only focus on sales but on the firmware updates to rectify some of these issues also. I hope they heed my recommendations and respond with an update. If they do reply directly to me I will be sure to let you know.
@@tvboxstop Wow, Thanks!
Eu imagino que pelo valor desta tv box, não deve funcionar o DV, pois se não me engano, para isso teria que pagar royalties para a Dolby. Existem poucas tv box que tem esse recurso, entre elas a Homatic e a Xiaomi 2.

Can this box play Netflix with dobly at mos?
Yes it can. I tested that on the receiver
Is it possible to play downloaded 4K movies of 20+ gb through this device, if so, what's the best way to do it?
You can do that via its USB three point report using an external hard drive. The box will read hard drives up to 4 TB without issues. If you are using a full size SATA 3.5 HDD using an adapter, you have to provide power to the adapter using a separate power adapter and not to attempt using USB for it to work. If you are using a laptop hard drive 3.0 USB port will be sufficient to power the drive.
@@tvboxstopAwesome, thanks! You're GREAT!
@@tvboxstop helo...can it read HDD with NTFS format??
@@3djan2 Yes it can
Hi, i want to buy this model in Dubai , can i get any discount through the link ?
Mecool boxes are only available on the website, or from their Amazon store
where do you get all this DEMO Video Files ? good Video
Over the years I had to trial and error to see which ones don't get flagged as copyright content by RUclips. So some work from the Kodi video samples website, and others, randomly from Google search some of which I can't remember.
The km6 is better?
All it needed was a Netflix ESN
I am planning to buy Km2 Plus but I am seeking advice from someone who tried to play games on GeForce Now with Km2 Plus.
Can this setup provide a satisfactory gaming experience, or would it be an impractical investment?
Due to my recent move and financial constraints, I am unable to purchase a PC or gaming console, and must rely on my 1080p TV. I came up with this idea but I'm not sure if it'll ever work.
Any experience would be appreciated.
Yes I have used Nvidia GeForce Now on these boxes and they work seamlessly. I for some reason the app is not available on the Android TV play store, download an APK version and install it via pen drive. However, it is usually available on the ATV play store.
@@tvboxstop Thanks for the reply! My box just came today, I'll try and see.
Does the remote keep charged?
The remote is not rechargeable a pair of AAA batteries
Hola amigo mi km2 plus se reinicia y luego ya enciende se queda en el logo. Me podrías ayudar. Saludos desde Perú
Cuando eso sucede, es una señal de daño en el hardware, probablemente debido a una CPU sobrecalentada o software dañado, lo cual no debería suceder según su nuevo diseño de enfriamiento. Hay un botón de reinicio que generalmente se encuentra dentro del puerto AV y que debe presionar y mantener presionado con una especie de palillo mientras conecta el adaptador de corriente para acceder al menú de recuperación. Una vez en este menú, puede navegar con el control remoto original al área de configuración predeterminada de fábrica. Si eso no funciona, entonces el hardware está dañado y no hay nada que puedas hacer más que conseguir otra caja de Android.
Storage? 64 Gb?
No not available
Any AirPlay?
No official Airplay app but you can use Airscreen app
Hlo sir this a Dolby Atmos enable or Dolby Atmos Android box
This box as Dolby Atmos enabled so when you play self hosted videos, or videos from Netflix Amazon prime video you get Dolby Atmos on your AV receiver.
Maximum capacity of memory card please 32gb or 128gb or 256gb
It should be around 64GB. They don't usually put it in the product description anymore.
@@tvboxstop thought was 32gb
I think why there is no Turkish subtitles, but I can't understand. Please add Turkish subtitles to all your videos, I would appreciate it. Thank you....

hi sir....how to active AV1?
AV1 is not something you activate is either the decoding is installed on the box will not
Mecool KM2 Plus is great but I will wait for new version with 4gb ram.
Cool thanks for watching
When available 4 gig ram and 64 rom
not is aluminum circle plate, it's plastic
That's incorrect server I opened it up just to confirm before I made my claim. On the inside there is a metal heatsink connected to the CPU. Then there's a heat pad connecting the heatsink to the aluminum plate.
Mine only show HD with Netflix 😭😭
Make sure you change you box's resolution to 4K or else the app will be stock on HD. You must also be connected to a 4K TV for the box to detect 4K and the Netflix app. Also set it to Adaptive HDR. I can remember the box comes set to 1080p in the settings area, you need to change that.
Nba app not working?
Even if it does work, you can navigated without the gamepad keymapping working due to no root access.
好像奈飞，没有发现有5.1声道支持的。
看来是这样想
@@tvboxstop 好像不支持杜比视觉吧！
I dont understand why they insist to stick with 2 gb ram...this would be a model for me otherwise i think
Indeed I understand
Why it does not have 4gig of ram , baffles me
I don't know why either
Too many negatives for a 2022 box. 100Mb LAN, 32 bit OS, Jurassic USB 2.0, poor eMMC write speeds and all at quite a high price.
That's on them but it is what it is.
Is it worth upgrading from google tv 4k to mecool km2 plus?
I don't believe so, as Google TV is the new operating system.

Mecool KM2 Plus has not HDR! If HDR was put on only an 1080p Signal comes to my QLED 4K TV. Any Netflix and Co. comes in HD. If you put HDR off then you can enjoy in 4K UHD. Been warned and informed before you buy in!
OK so I will have to own up to what you are stating. Let me explain. The TV I tested this box on was a normal LG 4K HDR TV. That TV has since died recently, so I went out and purchased a brand-new 55 inches HDR TV with Dolby vision and HDR 10 to test my TV boxes because I never had Dolby vision testing before. What I am getting with the box connected to this new TV is Dolby vision only when you activate the HDR feature. There is no HDR in Netflix only Dolby vision. There is the HDR feature showing in the prime video but I can't test it for sure because the HDR feature always on and so is Dolby vision. So with all the back-and-forth I beg your forgiveness and I humbly apologize. You are right.
@@tvboxstop Hello here is a small excerpt from a review of another user. basically it is to say that Mecool so cheats its customers.
The SoC Amlogic S905X4-B used in km2 plus supports HDR, so the problem is not the hardware, but the software.
The above may be somewhat inaccurate, but what is accurate is that the box is not outputting an HDR signal at all. The TV is only receiving the SDR signal, but the box did a very odd trick of tricking to make the consumer think it is outputting an HDR signal.
When you turn on Netflix or RUclips to watch HDR videos, the box correctly maps HDR colors to the SDR range, so HDR doesn't look dim, and the box tricks the app into saying it's outputting HDR content directly to the TV, but it doesn't. the box internally re-transcodes HDR to SDR content, and then outputs it to the TV in SDR format.
On the consumer side, HDR is correctly mapped to SDR, so colors look normal and consumers don't perceive a problem, although that's not at all the contrast and brightness that HDR has. If a careful consumer checks the signal format reported by the TV, it will only be SDR.
I don't know why they advertise that they support HDR, but instead of actually outputting HDR, they use this method to convert HDR to SDR. This doesn't look like a software design flaw, more like it was intentional.
So if you have a modern TV that supports HDR and want to see true HDR through this box, don't buy this box, at least on the latest firmware (C2.1.4_20220613 and 20221107) they've been using this trick.
According to the KM2 PLUS technical specifications provided by Mecool to dealers, KM2 Plus supports HDR10 and Samsung-led HDR10+ and another HLG without royalty. I don't own a Samsung TV, so I can't verify that HDR10+ works, but HDR10 definitely doesn't.
Mecool has never advertised that the KM2 Plus is Dolby Vision certified, although in the firmware version C2.1.3_20220527 sent to the media for review, the KM2 Plus does include a Dolby Vision decoder.
However, when your TV supports Dolby Vision, during the set-top box boot process, the set-top box will try to output a Dolby Vision signal for a few seconds, but because there is no Dolby Vision decoder in the firmware of the box at all, this is just a bug , don't be so naive as to think it can somehow turn on Dolby Vision, they didn't pay royalties for it, it's impossible.
However, the hardware Amlogic S905X4-B does support HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, but because no royalties are paid, the DV decoder is not loaded in the C2.1.4_20220613 firmware, and only porting after rooting can make this box realize all the claimed functions of S905X4-B, and considering Android With the TV's history of rooting and simply not having a custom rom community for Android TV, it's almost never going to happen.
Regards
@@jprofiler Well that explains a lot, and thanks for your clarification. Mecool needs to stop or address these issues they are having with licenses and certifications.
Not 4gig of ram. Even Sasktel has a box with 4gig of ram . Lol
I don't know what's the logic behind this. All boxes should be 4GB 32GB at minimum.
@TV Box Stop but this box you reviewed is only 2gig of ram ?
I am better🤫
MECOOL KM7 ..4GB ..64GB RAM
Yep that's a better box and relation to RAM and internal storage. However, it does not have any Dolby vision decoders such as this box. All this box needs is a 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage model and it's better than the KM7
I hate these Android TV or hybrid Android TV boxes. I have the Minix gyroscope air mouse remote with keyboard on its back and I wanted to buy an android box with normal Android. I had A95X F3 previously and I got A95X F4 which had hybrid system unfortunately. After 2 months of inconvenient use it just restart itself when I turn it on. It can't boot the system. It's a piece of trash. Now I'm forced to use Android TV system of my Xiaomi TV and oh, boy, it's so laggy and frustrating. And it's Android TV OS so I can't even use ordinary RUclips app normaly. It doesn't display RUclips well except in Android TV version of RUclips. Is there any Android box on the market with normal Android, like on tablet, and not Android TV OS or hybrid wanna be Android TV OS bullshit?
The only manufacturer that has a recent model is Ugoos on the Ugoos UT8 model. There are some other boxes in the pipeline we shall wait-and-see when they arrive if any of them runs on the mobile version of Android
@@tvboxstop Thanks. I just checked the price. It's too expensive for 2.0GHz quad core Rockchip chip.
@@jovanmalic9259 Why didn't you get the Minix box too? Sorted 👍
@@stepheng8779 Oh, boy. Right question. My first Android box I ever had was Minix Neo U9-H and for some reason everyone praised that Minix model, but my Minix box was so laggy. Everytime I turn it on it took like half an hour to finally stop lagging and become somewhat usable, but it still was laggy and it restarted itself sometimes. I even installed some custom Android 7 system on it after the years of frustration, but it didn't help. Couple months ago I finally destroyed it with hammer. I got my revenge for like half a decade of frustration with it. I probably just got some faulty unit and there was no way to return it back because I ordered it from Hong Kong and I would have to pay the customs again for the new unit etc.
Be careful with this company if you get any problem they never reply to any email or on the site.
Hum😟🗯️ that's not good. Come on Mecool better customer service please

You must be mistaken because there is no 4 GB version and this box yet. You referring to the first KM2 model?
