Advice for Streaming Box for Napper
Hello,
I am new at third-party streaming devices. I was wondering if someone can recommend a box that runs well with Napper after I download it. Will some of those Android TV streaming boxes they sell at Amazon with Android 7.1 2GB RAM+16GB ROM work? Will a name brand box like Fire TV also work with Napper? Does anyone have suggestions on what brands you had good experience and which to avoid from your experiences? Thank you.

For the most part, Android 7 doesn't work well with the app.
I noticed you have mentioned the Amlogic S905 Android Box. Nice to hear that you will have another review soon. Just for my information, which Android versions do you have a feeling it may not work well? According to some of the postings here, it seems Android 4.4.2 and 6.0.1 should work......is that how you look at it as well? It is my understanding Google will no longer support security patches for versions before 5.0.

It work although there's android 7 on it. This is $35 you can get it from geekbuying but shipping to you take some time since it's from asia
Make sure the box that you buy has GPU of Mali-450
Previous fire tv that i had didn't have this GPU so some channels have no video.

Are you in USA? Buy it from Amazon. They have easy return if the box doesn't work like you expected. When you return it, just click the option "defective" and they will give you free return shipping label.
Thanks for this information about the MXQ PRO. So it seems like even though it has Android 7 it still worked for you. I will give this a try. BTW, I do not have any Amazon Fire TV devices.

Yes I'm in the USA, I will look into this suggestion about the Ware MXQ Pro Android 6.0 Tv Box, Am Logic S905X. I assume you have tried it? Thanks for the "defective" tip.

I'm awaiting 2GB RAM model of above Nexbox to be delivered soon to test, so as to rule out any RAM issues.

This is for $28.97 Android 4.4 with Mali 450 GPU. It should work. When I looked for a box, I went for the cheapest in amazon search. Easy return anyway...
Good luck!
