I have the imx6 droidbox but when trying to watch hd 720p or 1080 it just seems to buffer like mad. I ran a speed test from the box via wifi and this came in at just over 19 meg so speed is not the problem I have seen something about clearing cache which I did to no avail so anyone got any ideas
imx6 hd buffering

Hi Andy.
You need to go to settings -> Apps -> XBMC. Then select "clear data". After data get cleared. Go to XBMC ( you should get "Running for first time" message) and once you are in XBMC go to Videos-> Addons -> DroidBOX wizard and run addons pack for DroidBOX iMX6.
That should fix buffering.

Is it a load of rubbish? No.
Is it very easy to find yourself trying to watch video streams that are on servers owned by hosting company's that aren't able to to provide free sources for high bandwidth files without performance issues? Yes.
I've got most of our models in use at home. I don't expect my iMX6 or M6 to play back 1080p videos as easily as my T8, in the same way that my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone is able to run some apps a lot better than my ageing Samsung Galaxy Ace2.
If you purchased your iMX6 prior to April/May 2014, send us an e-mail (with the info mentioned here - http://droidboxforums.com/threads/what-to-include-if-you-need-to-e-mail-us.364/ ) and we'll check if there is a newer firmware for your device.

This has nothing to do do with streaming video and audio from whatever source or quality but that the box will not hold onto any settings or software put into it I am today at this moment reinstalling setup from sd card Whic I have taken to leaving inserted into the box cos it has to be reinstalled every week. The imx6 no longer has the software rooted cos the first time I had to reset to factory settings everything was wipped including rooted files set by droidbox so have to be done via sd card all the time.the box was used last night to watch something yet this morning there was nothing on box not even xbmc .everything goes in ok I restart by Un plying power from back leave in most cases longer than 20 mins just to make sure a software installed ok but it still all disappeared after a few days. The firmware is up to date as I got the box sept 2014 but I don't think it a firmware issue anyway
If you haven't yet, please send us an e-mail (with the info mentioned here - http://droidboxforums.com/threads/what-to-include-if-you-need-to-e-mail-us.364/ ) and we'll send details for reflashing the firmware. The rooted status shouldn't be lost, the firmware comes pre-rooted. Hopefully a reflash will sort it, if not we'll repair/replace it in the office for you.
Thanks, I've passed on a msg to the team, asking whether it is us or you who are able to chase up Royal Mail about this properly.
I've checked with the office, and you'll need to contact Royal Mail and ask them where the package is. http://www.royalmail.com/personal/h...ails-claims-process-for-loss-damage-and-delay has a phone number. They'll presumably prefer to find the parcel, rather than pay you the money.
Try going to system, then Video, then Acceleration, look for decoding Method and change it to Hardware Accelerated. Then highlight all underneath see if this helps you.
