My Mibox arrived today and I am really happy, however I want to sideload Amazon prime video...

There are tutorials on different versions but I can't figure out what the most stable version is and how to easily install it.

Any help is appreciated!

-------EDIT-------

I managed to install this via Aptoide TV.

1. Download ES file explorer on your phone

2. Download the Aptoide TV apk on your phone

3. If you have already installed ES file explorer on your TV, open it and select "receive" (or sth similar)

4. Click the Aptoide tv apk on your phone (in es explorer) and click send

5. It should transfer to your tv

6. Install Aptoide TV

7. Install Prime Video

I own a Philips 55PUS7303 running Android TV. I found the option to rename the device and changed it to "Living Room TV" so that I can refer to it more easily with Google Home. This works fine for a little while, but then without warning seems to revert to the factory default setting of 55PUS7303/12 (I've no idea how the 12 gets in there!)

Has anybody else had this problem, with this or any other Android TV? Is there something I'm doing wrong, or something I can do to prevent it? Is this worth returning the TV over? (I'm well within the warranty returns window).

It's frustrating, because otherwise I'm absolutely in love with this set :/

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has successfully be able to tell their Google Home (I have the mini, FYI), "play NBC on Youtube TV" for a Sony TV with Android TV. I am able to do it with my dumb TV's via their Chromecasts in other rooms.

If I do it with the Sony with the built in Android TV /built in Chromecast, it says, "Ok, playing NBC on Youtube TV........Sorry, something went wrong. When you're ready, give it another try."

If I say, "Hey Google play Big Bang Theory" on Youtube TV while it's on the air, it will switch just fine, without even naming the channel. Once it's there, if I say, "Tune to CNN" or "Tune to NBC", it does the same thing....it says, "Ok playing NBC on Youtube TV....sorry, something went wrong..."

I'm also successful in saying "Hey Google, play Star Trek on Netflix" for this TV, by the way.

​

Is this function supposed to be supported?

​

For what it's worth, I have the Sony 49" X800E series.

Hey Guys i finally got my Mi Box 4 today and i already have a hugeeee issue regarding internet its just really on off for me because in some areas it seems to work "ok" (on the play store) but on youtube for example it just either gives me an internet connection Error or if i manage to get into youtube the videos buffer like hell.

Im running Android 8.1

Hi folks,

I've got a 2+ year old MiBox (MDZ-16-AB) running mainly Kodi @ 1080p. Lately (I would say since the last update to 8.0.0) I've been noticing it starts lagging a lot after it's been running for couple of hours, so esentially requiring a reboot every day, so it becomes useful again.

I've uninstalled / disabled all the apps I don't need, as I use my TV for Netflix / Amazon Prime (HDR / Dolby Vision) and MiBox is only used for Kodi, but it's still lagging to no end.

By lagging I mean you can see a noticable delay between click on remote and GUI action and all animations seem to run in slow-motion.

Anybody experiencing the same issue?

PS: I'm using Ugreen Gigabit Ethernet adapter, if it makes any difference.

Hi guys I've just finished setting up my new xiaomi MI box s by downloading the latest android update and downloading a few apps and emulators, but I'm running into an issue. I plugged in my 64gb SanDisk USB 3.0 drive with a few ROMS and mp4 files, but I get a notification saying "unsupported SanDisk USB Drive", I tried formatting it in both ntfs and exfat but nothing worked, I then tried to format it using the built in android TV formatter but it ran into an error whole formatting, what should I do? Thanks!

how can i get regular gboard or another keyboard that has voice input so that i can voice type into search fields in apps like cinema, terrarium, tea tv , cyberflix etc.

gboard has no voice input , i tried another keyboard and that did't work either, why in the hell even include a mic or assistant if you can not even have voice typing, everything google does is so half assed it is just ridiculous

there must be some way to force a keyboard with a mic on it to work on this thing no?

Is it not available on Android TV?

Sometimes I cast vídeos from my phone and the tv open it with a really basic player. Is there a way to change it? Like using kodi

Hello, I have recently bought a mi box s - my first android TV. I have connected it to my FHD TV and set the resolution at 1080 60hz (as is supported by my TV). The setup went great but I am facing a few problems:

1. my router (2.4Ghz g/b/mixed band) sits just 3 feet away from the mibox and gives excellent signals. Although my FUP limit expired I get 2mbps on all my devices. However, I am getting almost 0 speed on mi box s to the point that even Youtube app does not open and asks for checking internet [ the internet works fine on other devices]. I then tried 2.4ghz band hotspot from my samsung and voila, the device worked fine on my 4G with nice streaming. the phone was kept like a feet away from box. PLEASE HELP solving it as I need the box to run on my home wifi [3 ft away from box]
2. I left the system off [simple power button click on remote] for 30 minutes and when I returned there was an extreme stutter. I hoped that it would go away after a minute but it did not. What to do for this?
3. Any basic apps you would like to recommend for me to download on the box? suggestions please :D

Any else getting perfect HD commercials but when the game comes back on its 480p. Seems like it's been like this for months now. Definitely not my connection.

I am looking for a device that I can watch Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, kodi (with add-ons) and cast my phone screen to.

The only devices that fit my needs are the two mentioned above but since I don't own any of these and don't know if they have any drawbacks or something I need some input.

I know youtube is not working on most fire sticks but my friend has the new one and he can cast videos from his phone. Also screen casting is difficult on the Amazon stick. The one I am looking into is coming out in about a week.

What scares me are the bad reviews on the mibox here in Germany.... But for me it looks like the better option.

Does anyone own these devices and can recommend me one?

Also is there any easy way to mirror your phone screen on the fire stick? The airscreen app is not the best solution...

Thanks a lot guys!

I live in a flat where this retard family upstairs cast their shit to my tv from time to time. Is there a way of making it impossible for them to do it? We share the same wifi.

Any way to set the system volume to fixed? Ir remote changing system and sound bar volume

Every time I start playback on my Mi Box S or Jetstream, according to the logs, Plex is requesting playback at 720kbps. Local and remote are set to Maximum, all other settings look fine. Both are hardwired ethernet.

Once the video starts I can change the bitrate manually, but it's a pain and guests/family don't know what's happening other than it looks like crap!

Has anyone seen this behavior? I'm posting here instead of the Plex forums because this is not an issue on Fire, Roku or any other device.
