Somehow this board got marketed as a fully developed $15 media center appliance; it is a lie.
This PineA64 is a fabulous development board (for hardware & software) and is a wonderful computer-- I have used mine the summer (experiment) as a replacement for my desk workstations... developing GPIO on one, and GPS on the other... plus all the normal things I use a desktop PC for.
But, this board is NOT a media center appliance; its weak link is video, and that applies even to Android and Remix. If you want to use video, run Android. If you want a computer run either debian mate, or ubuntu mate. But, it is not a media center... not even.
I'm very impressed with this board ! ... but not for the reasons you're testing it for.
