Personally my GTmedia, I put it back to original firmware, then stuck on boot.....so, I exploded it and threw it in the nearest trash can, that's still where it worked the best....
To restore to the original firmware, it cannot be directly upgraded and needs to be flashed through the serial port line. This requires a slightly more professional operation. The official forum provides methods.
Some device work on android 7 like beout recivers work on CoreELEC beside android main system and gt combo dont work like these stbs and all are android. Also this is diffecult to make reciver on android 9 work like recivers on android 7.
Well, some receivers may use dual systems of linux and android. The function of DVB is developed under the Linux system.
If the developers are interested then supply the dvb drivers and we could have enigma2 run on it. IMO it would be much better with e2 running rather than android.
The DVB app is constantly an issue, currently mine is crashing right from start up (on latest image) and it has gone back in a cupboard out of frustration.
It also looks like mars firmware is never going to happen, so it is currently collecting dust.
Android's architecture is indeed too inefficient, but the SDK provided by the original chip manufacturer is for Android, and we don't have the resources to start over with Linux.
We are working hard to solve the current problems. Version 27 will be released soon, and several errors in version 26 have been corrected.
The Mars version has been suspended for some reasons.
Display MoreWe want to separate DVB from Android and make DVB the main satellite system, so that the performance becomes better and there are no problems.
Because currently Android is the main system of the receiver and DVB is part of it
This allows other applications to run automatically in the background, causing the RAM to become full, creating instability, and possibly stopping work.
When the RAM is full, even the remote receives a delay in responding, and the channel signal is also delayed, and the image does not appear until after a while. The built-in oscam also stops on its own.
To be sure, every once in a while, go to the RAM, empty it, and delete the applications that are running. It will work like a rose. After a while, it comes back and the RAM is full, and so on. The same cycle returns, performance is delayed and a stop occurs.
If it is separated, it is equivalent to developing it once on Linux, so the code efficiency will indeed be much higher. But the current architecture is Android, and the workload would be too much to change. I’m afraid we have no plans to do this.
We have actually considered this problem, but the amount of code is too large and needs to be sorted out, and the compilation environment is also complicated. If the SDK is to be opened, it may only be open in a targeted manner.
By the way, do you have the development conditions and compilation environment for this kind of code?depends..are you referring to Android Studio? Cross compilers? considering the amount of people in this forum that are able to cross compile enigma images and various plugins (including oscam...) I don't see a big deal managing the SDK
We will consider this matter. The SDK code size is relatively large, and we have not yet figured out how to release it, how to maintain it, and how to return user code to the mainline.

Well that,s a shame or maybe a sham.I had one and bought another on the understanding that mars was definitely on the way for this model.
You must be delighted to get rid of all that stock and push the new model.I feel like a fool along with many many others.
It's not what you think it is. It's just that the development was suspended due to third-party technology and other reasons during the development process. Even without Mars, our gt combo is still under development and production, and it is not a liquidation of inventory.
Is mars never going to be used with the gt combo?
Due to some reasons, the development of mars on gt combo has been suspended. Currently, a team has developed and supported LA CAM on gt combo, which is available to users in Latin America. Other areas are still under development.
It's a cost-effective USB Tuner Stick with ATSC3.0/ATSC1.0 digital terrestrial signal. With the HDTV Player app, you can watch ATSC 3.0 programs anytime and anywhere. It also supports recording the currently watching program to the device or TF card.

I have a gtmedia v8x that feeds a DVB-T modulator with HDMI cable. After a few hours I find the v8x with a red light and then I have to use the on off switch to boot it again. Running the latest mars firmware and also tried July and March 2023 releases. Any hint ? Sleep and standby timers are off.
Also: Any way to remote control the box and change channels?
This seems to be the current design.
Display MoreHi dvbgr.
I would like to take this opportunity to inform myself about this GTMedia.
I'm about to buy "GTMEDIA V8 UHD 4K", with MARS support.
I have always used Enigma2. Always DREAMBOX. I currently have a DM920UHD and SF8008UHD.
I don't know GTMedia and its software.
This GTMedia Receiver, with MARS Support, is what excites me the most. I no longer have to worry about the lines, which become more expensive.
I ask you for information, please. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hugs.

GTMedia still waiting for a new firmwre to fix such issue....
This problem has been solved in version 24. Which version are you currently using?
24
OK, the problem and version information are understood. We'll see how we can improve the problem.
2023 android 9 !!!!!!!!
Because it is inherited from GTCombo, the Android version has not been updated.
It's probably a bit difficult, if you don't have root permissions. And as the update goes in, some functions may not work properly.
OK, I understand this information, because Disney+ cannot be implemented through app upgrade, so we will update this app in the next version. Thanks!
Seems that the company knows about shipping not working boxes as they refund without getting back the receiver.
In some countries or regions, postage is very expensive.

Could you please add viaplay to the list of things to do. That app dose not work on this box
I downloaded viaplayer from the link below and installed it on gtcombo. It can be installed and used, but some interfaces need to be switched to mouse mode because they do not support remote control. What's going on with you?

Can this box spit out an .m3u8 of all channels to any networked device asking for it ?
Export M3U here, and then use vlc or other playback tools to play on computers on the same LAN
