Hello I have an s8 atoto head unit. I downloaded sling tv app on it and for some reason I cant get it to play any video. Not even any sound. I see the timer of yhe video on the bottom going as if its playing. But i get nothing but a black screen.
Netflix works. Locast works. Youtube works.
So I figured its sling itself? But I hooked up my phone to mirror to it and try sling. Same thing! Nothing shows up on the headunit. My phone played fine but nothing on head unit.
Any ideas? Thanks

Looking to replace my stock head unit with an android. Currently have a 13" 1080p dropdown screen in the back for the kids. On vacation, I hook up a roku for video. Its not ideal, in that you have to reach your head in the back to see the screen, and control the menu.
I'd like to be able to control the video through the head unit. Unfortunately, every option I see has a RCA out for video. It would work, but it bothers me running RCA to a 1080p display. Do I have any other options?

Did you catch the part of, "Unfortunately, every option I see has a RCA out for video. It would work, but it bothers me running RCA to a 1080p display. "?
In that case I wkuld think the best solution would be for a pi3 running Kodi to be connected to your screen and to install a Kodi-remote app on your headunit to control the pi.
Hello to all.
I just purchased this HU and until now i like it but i have 2 issues that i will need your help.
The first thing is with Gps. Every time i turn off and on the car the gps is closed. Is there any way to open the app when i start the car? I am not familiar with tasker so any other way? I only use it for speedcam warnings so if there is any other program that will open automatic and make only speedcam warning please suggest.
The second thing is that in my other car i have a kenwood unit that i can watch music video and in same time i can go to gps or go to equalizer etc.
In this unit when i start to see music video when i press home button to make something else the video stops. After a lot of hours i managed to solve that with vlc player that gave me video playback in background. So i am watching the video and when i push gps or home button i am able to still listening to the music. But here comes other issue.... When i turn off the car and then again on the HU open automatic vlc but it doesnt start to play from where it stopped It goes only to the folder explorer and waiting to press the folder you wish to hear. (in the stock video app there is no background audio as i said before but if you turn off the car and then turn on it starts from where it stopped).
Any suggestions on this?
Thank you all and sorry for my big post...
I am still in same situation.
Any help?

Hello all
I was wondering if anyone has this head unit, Joying 6.2 Inch Single Din Car Radio Android 8 Oreo 4GBRAM 1 Din Touch Screen Audio System, I just installed it. (sorry can't post link)
Many things seem to work ok, but when streaming from the audio player from my iphone 6s+ 11.3ios, it crackles predictably at various parts in a song. For instance, one song, which plays cleanly on my subaru stock hu, crackles crazily at exactly 15 seconds in. I actually suspected the audio file. Other audio files stop playing within a few seconds.
This is pretty disappointing, this is one of the main functions of this HU for me. I am looking into updates, but I bought an Oreo HU with the hopes the OS would have stable functions of at least the most used functions. Just wondering if anyone out there is experiencing this type of thing on 8.0 with the joying 4GB versions. Thanks
Did you ever get this sorted out I am looking at the same unit

I think so. It looks like the problem was playing media I did not have fully downloaded. So the player was making itunes download the media I own from itunes but didn’t have fully downloaded. While it was doing that, it was hitting bluetooth and wifi pretty hard and I heard cracking and stopping.
Streaming media that lives on the device worked fine. Spotify for some reason did not do this, so this was probably something to do with apple IMO. I am enjoying this head unit except for how light it is in full sun, its in an open top car.
thanks for letting me know. I have now ordered one.
Hi all,
I have a MTCD unit running original with a PX3 1GB.
In last years I already upgraded it to 2GB wich is running good.
A while ago I bought a PX5 board to upgrade but with the PX5 board I have issues playing video (IPTV, some Youtube/ Kodi movies/normal videos on USB etc). I hear the sound going on but video just freezes after some seconds.
I tried all the different roms malaysk, Hal9k etc etc but all the same problem. ALmost gets me thinking that it's a hardware accelaration issue or something.
When I switch back to PX3 all the video goes fine.
Is there some fix for it? I really play a lot of video in the car (also for the backscreens. in the headrests).
Did you try allowing the video while driving from options? For permanent allowance you can connect the BRK wire to some GND (ground). I had similar issue with youtube, video showed for a sec then turns white. I guess your case is the same, just does not repaint the video area and only freezes.
Hi, I just got a android head unit and can't figure if it's something wrong or just a setting I can't find.
When I have an audio app running, like radio or music, and then start a nav app(specifically OSAMD) everything is fine. The music plays while nav is working. The problem is when the nav app interupts the audio with voice alerts, the music audio never comes back on. Have to go to the music app and audio comes back the switch back to the nav app. On next alert it does it all over again.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Hi again,
Can no one help with this?
Nobody else have this problem?
what's the Unit, What's the Nav app and are you using Android Auto or Carplay or Native App? If this is AA/CP this is normal when using Native Music. If this is all Native I suggest to try switching to a different Nav App and see if it makes a difference.
I can tell you on mine Waze and Goggle Maps will properly interrupt then return to music with both spotify and VLC.
AA/CP does exactly what you described, unless you play music through AA/CP.
This is the first one I have had. It's from amazon the brand says Podofo. It's android 9.1
I'm using Osamd navagation app. They say the app should return the music but it does not. Not sure what AA/CP is, maybe android auto. I'm not using that just the built in launcher and tried a couple other launchers with no luck. I'll try google or waze and see if they are any different.
