Is this link (4gb) compatible with gigabit / 64gb model? Another question: is it possible to convert “regular” tv box with “pure” Android into a box running Android Tv OS? Can I just install Android Tv OS firmware? I believe this firmware link above is for the regular Android 9, not Android TV, is that correct? Regards, Rafael.

Hello.
Usually only the ram is the important key.
You need an Android TV custom firmware for this exact box.

I try to install spotify, but it say that it is not compatible with this version.
