Having recently got a couple of Miraclebox Mini+ Hybrid boxes and successfully set them up, added HDD for recording and stuff, and being new to this - still lost about several things!
Plz don't say "read the forums" because I have, this and other boards - it's a minefield for a newbie and what we see mentioned for other boxes (plugins) may not apply to this box.
- Keep seeing mention of CacheFlush, what does it do? Plz don't say it flushes/clears the cache. What cache? Is their any documentation or a guide for it and many of the other plugins anywhere? Do we need it/them?
- It's easy to press Download Plugins and see a whole bunch of plugins listed with a minimal description as to what they do. Also, have read a couple of times about not letting the boxes internal memory fill as it may brick the box, is it safe to try plugins, do they install to internal memory or the attached HDD?
- What is zap/zapping - jumping direct to another channel?
- When you press "Fav" button the last category listed is "Favourites (TV)" - can you add your fave channels to that?
- If copying local media to the attached HDD for playback which is the correct folder to place it in - same one as the recordings made by the box - /media/hdd/movie/ ? Or can you place it somewhere else separate from the boxes recording folder? Have FTP'd to the box and browsed the folder structure but didn't see anything obvious for user media - usr folder?
- Using Open Webif have copied channel links and played back in VLC on PC. Can you do likewise on Android devices connected to the network?
