@alekhkhanna - Like I said I did notice slight lag while watching certain videos so I wondered if there is a way apps can be closed or an app that cleans the memory.

Edit - isn't it also a good way to "UP" the performance of the device when there is more memory to work around with ?

 

[alekhkhanna]

@bigman91 Not really. The app management is generally so good on both iOS and Android now that the background apps don't take much resources. It was just a myth for battery saving, but won't help much there nowadays too (Unless the app is really badly coded and uses GPS etc, but again the Android 10 permissions are pretty darn good - going off tangent here).
Most apps in BG are effectively frozen, so you shouldn't really see any improvement after closing them. What can matter is definitely the free space on the device (in this case STB). Low space can make loading and playing a bitch.

@alekhkhanna - No lag so far. Maybe when I play high bitrate files on VLC but haven't tested extensively to conclude there is a lag.

i played files with bitrate of 28mbps and it plays without lags...

@ponnitheunreal - did you play the video after using some of the other apps ?

 

[ponnitheunreal]

@bigman91 yes, during and after installing several apps during my review and played 4k via plex running in orange pi zero

 

[bigman91]

@ponnitheunreal - I'm guessing you streamed the video. Did you try playing that high bitrate file via VLC or Kodi. (do not stream the videos)

 

[ponnitheunreal]

@bigman91 yes, i played it via usb 3 interface at the back.... i understand what your question is buddy.... i have done/ tried all possible ways to stress the stb...

 

[bigman91]

@ponnitheunreal - Duly noted.

@bigman91 the box is quite good.... people might say that you are better off with chinese box but i would say this does the job very well and it has its problem with closed eco system, bad billing, poor choice of OTT but its too early to rule out jio from equation, they will slowly open up and once we get top OTT apps and this will be one of the top notch android box.

Yup exactly what's on my mind but I'm hearing this disparity in STB models like ones running on older Android, having no TV tuners, some reporting bad color reproduction. All this sounds concerning.
