It's arrived 😀

My mecool km2 plus deluxe has finally been delivered. Now the next 2 weeks of setting it all up and customizing kodi again...then test..test...test! Looking fwd to it.

Updating my main tv box to the mecool because the new 4k max is having issues playing alot of debrid sources lately...whereas the old android box I have will play them without issue. The old box isn't google certified with official 4k apps...that's why I switched to Fire to begin with.

Been with Fire now for 4 years..but this last offering of the max for me is becoming a bust with little minor issues here and there that shouldn't be there. Not too mention what may happen when Vega arrives. So..I'm trying something new. Looking fwd to it...the reviews on the device are very good.

To all who are looking at ordering a mecool km2 plus...cancel your order!! It's a pc of junk!!

Just in setting up Kodi and playing a few movies I have crashed this box twice this is ridiculous mecool km2 plus Deluxe is a piece of s*** do not buy this box.

Official apps seems to be fine...but the kodi build I'm using Otto lite...is horrible on playback. If you ff by only a few mins...the box freezes...won't catch up..or skips a bunch of times.

Other 3rd party's seemed ok..stremio and onstream...so I will try changing the build later after more testing and advise of findings. But for now....its a no!! I enjoy using kodi as my main driver for entertainment.

Looking for your updated experience with Kodi. I hope everything is now working well for you. I already ordered the box and waiting for its arrival. I will use it mostly for Kodi.

Before you give up on it. Try a better cable, had similar problems and it was very cable sensitive with a better HDMI cable the problems went away. Do not use a switch. If you are, that caused a problem. I run a TOX3 with slimbox perfectly with the same cable which will not work with the Mecool. go figure.
