Also mine is android version 5.11 so how do I update it to version 6???

 

[sblabs]

only way at the moment that you can get v6 marshmallow is to get the v2 box. click the 2 cogs in android go to about.

 

[palpatine]

yeh im on the about it says version 5.1.1

 

[sblabs]

yeh im on the about it says version 5.1.1

so thats a v1 box

 

[palpatine]

So eventualy say next year will my t8 pluss v1 with the android version 5 be usless???Will it support kodi leia??

 

[sblabs]

kodi will still work for years to come dont worry.

 

[palpatine]

Youve opened my eyes I didnt relise only certain models could suport more recent versions.
So Do you think Il be able to update to marshmellow or will it only be for v2??

 

[palpatine]

I bought my sisters last month if I knew I would have waited

 

[palpatine]

so what android do I have if its version 5.11

 

[sblabs]

As far as I know Amlogic have not released a SDK for the s812 chip and to be honest they probably will not now they moved on to the s9xx chipset, but you never know am sure if DBX get the drivers for marshmallow they will past the update on.

 

[sblabs]

so what android do I have if its version 5.11

thats lollipop

 

[palpatine]

so whats the diference between the V1 and the V2
Should I have waited???
Is it much better???

 

[sblabs]

the v2 runs faster than my v1, the v2 has the s905 chip and ofc marshmallow v6 if you like android, my self i like libreELEC.

 

[palpatine]

when did they anounce they where working on a v2
I would have waited and bought one im gutted

 

[palpatine]

so you rekon say 3 years time my v1 will still work as well with future kodis???

 

[sblabs]

I am in the same boat as you my v1 is probably 4 months old, i think the v2 was announced about 3weeks ago

 

[sblabs]

so you rekon say 3 years time my v1 will still work as well with future kodis???

i dont see why not kodi 15.1 is still working fine.

 

[palpatine]

yeh but what version of kodi will i be limited to??
So could android version 5.11 handle kodi leia nxt year

 

[sblabs]

no idea i not looked at the specs for leia

I have an old t8 box running android 4.4.2 and dbmc 16.3 (jarvis 16.1)
And guess what?
It runs fine.
And will for many years yet.
