MiBox USB hub

Hi guys

I have a Mi Box, international version, and had the idea of getting a USB hub. I assume this would allow me to utilise two external hard drives at once?

However, you never know so I think it's best to ask here first.

Anyone had any experiences?

Thanks!

MiBox beta build to fix the wake up bug

https://vgy.me/qnqJC2.jpg

New build is now OPR6.170623.013.2405

Edit: The system was updated without any problem... Let's see how it behaves after 8 hours sleeping.

Edit 2: Ok, so after almost 11h of deep sleep, I just press one time in the power button and the box turn on instantaneous!! Let's wait for other beta testers feedback, but seems promising.

Edit 3: Ok, so I can wake up the box every time since the update without unplug the power cord, however sometimes I need to press the control more than one time (like 3/5 times) for the box to wake up.

Chromecast Build-In Audio Group

Google is adding audio group support for all the regular Chromecast. Anyone know if it's coming to Android TV's build-in Chromecast as well? I think we might get it at some point, as we also got the Google Assistant commands a little while ago, even though that was way later than the regular Chromecast, but maybe I'm just being too optimistic though...

Help setting up Google live channels

Currently trying to setup google live channels and move away from the default YouView app.

I have all my digital channels in sources, but every time I go back to the main page it’s black and says

“All source channels are hidden. Select at least one to watch”

So I go to customise channel list, but as soon as I scroll down to tick a channel, it switches back to “Set up your sources” not letting my tick a channel

Any ideas?

Power adapter/switch controlled by HDMI CEC

Hi,

I have two "old" TV, each one using a MiBox. These two TV are only used as monitor for the MiBox, they are not connected to anything else anymore as I can do anything I want through the MiBox (watch TV/Replay, Netflix, YouTube, Kodi, etc.).

They are not HDMI CEC compatible so I still need the original remote to turn the TV on and off. In fact it's the only thing I need the TV remote at all and it's a pain.

Is there some kind of power adaptor or power switch that takes in the HDMI signal to get the CEC command on/off to just switch on and off the power to a device through its power socket? Just like you have those kind of power switch controlled by remote or by smartphone to turn on/off lamps or whatever you want, but in this case controlled by the HDMI CEC commands from an AndroidTV box.

stupid Question - Are there any USB 3.0 to gigabit ethernet adapters that work with the Nvidia Shield TV?

So my 2015 Nvidia Shield TV's ethernet port no longer can connect at gigabit speeds (tested by directly plugging into my main Switch). In an effort to try and salvage it, I tried to use my USB 3.0 to Gigabit ethernet adapter i got from Amazon, but no dice.

Has anyone successfully done this? Or is that feature disabled because there's an onboard ethernet connector?

Thanks!

Need advice getting into Android TV

I am planning on getting into Android TV in the next couple weeks - hopefully utilizing a Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal and I have a couple questions.

  • If I go with a new TV, my budget will be <$800.
  • If I go with a Box, it'll probably be a Shield.
  1. What are the differences/advantages/disadvantages of getting an actual Android TV vs an Android TV Box?
  2. Is there still no support for multiple google accounts?
  3. Are there advantages to a newer model Android TV over an older model? Here's why I ask:
    1. I'm looking into these two TV's:
      1. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-XBR55X850D-55-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01A5LU5E4
      2. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-KD55X750F-55-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B07D1FQRFP
    2. One being a relatively higher end from 2016 and one being more basic from 2018.
  4. If I went the TV route, are the cheaper brands (Westinghouse, Skyworth, Hisense, others?) work looking into, or should I stick with Sony Bravia and/or Sharp Aquos?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Your thoughts on android tv software longevity, regarding security updates?

How long are you going to keep your android tv connected to the internet after security updates stop rolling out on your android tv set?

I just bought my very first android tv set (bravia af8)- and I suppose I'm going to un-smart my tv in a couple of years and disconnect it from the internet, after the security updates stop coming in, to avoid security risks. It would be a bit shame to lose so much functionality on so expensive tv set though, so I began to rethink if I'm overestimating the security concern or not.

2 Factor Authentication / Google Titan USB Security Key

Has anyone had any luck using your USB security key to authorize your device / 2 Factor Authentication?

I am using the Channel Master Stream+ and I have the Google Titan security key, when I follow the steps for authorization (inserting key into USB port), I get to the screen to insert my key. Once I insert the key, it lights up green (does not flash). When I press the button, nothing happens - seems to not recognize the USB key.

Anyone else have any experience setting this up?
