Anyone with personal experience adding a second Google account to their Mi Box?

Some people have said that it is possible, but nobody in that thread said they themselves did it.

I have a brand new Mi Box, and just plugged it into the TV. After logging in and getting to the homescreen, when I went to the settings screen at the bottom there was a plus next to my first account's Gmail address. However, whenever I pressed it, it would say something like "Vudu has stopped" and then when I hit okay, it would take me to a blank grey screen.

I then went into apps and uninstalled Vudu and all the other pre-installed apps, thinking they might be interfering with the process, and when going back out, the plus next to my account disappeared. There is no longer an option to add additional accounts at all.

I installed a system update, but that didn't help. My version is now 6.0.1, with build "once-user 6.0.1 MOB31Z 1901".

My next step was factory resetting the box to start from scratch again. Incredibly, the plus is still not present now.

Any ideas or experiences?

How to improve the user experience with wireless keyboard?

I have been using an universal control with airmouse and keyboard with my Mi Box. However the keyboard does not work well with the stock android tv keyboard. For example, when I press enter or arrow key on wireless keyboard, it will be applied to the virtual keyboard, other than the input field. I tried to disable Gboard app. The virtual keyboard stopped showing up but enter key still not function on the input field.

Has anyone figured out a way to make it work properly?

Thanks,

Youtube crashes on Mecool M8S Pro L

The latest official Youtube app is crashing all the time on this box. I believe it is the version 2.03. I tried to clear the data and cache to no affect. Rolled back to previous version always seems to work. I have disabled the auto app updates for now. It was very annoying. Anyone else has a similar issue?

Anderic RR-ST-01 remote control with AndroidTV

I bought Anderic RR-ST-01 remote control to control my SheildTV and MiBox, through CEC HDMI. I was wondering if there is any work around with 3rd party remotes where I can program a home button instead of clicking back a few times to exit out of a app.

For just watching tv is the Shield worth the upgrade from the mi box.

I have a Mi Box that I use just for watching tv. But I have seen the Shield TV pro and it caught my eye. Is the Shield worth the upgrade for just the use of watching TV.

Yes the added storage is a plus but that's really all I can think of any input would be great.

(For the record I'm one of the lucky ones with zero issues with the Mi Box on Android 8.0)

TVHeadend and Android TV

What's currently the best option to use TVHeadend with Android TV?

My experience so far (Mi Box and Shield TV):

Kodi on Android TV seems to work most reliable. including EPG, logo's, PVR and timeshifting. Unfortunately there's an issue which makes it cumbersome to browse channels (which is supposed to be fixed in Kodi 18). And most importantly, it doesn't integrate with the Android TV "experience", e.g. Live Channels. Switching between Kodi and Android TV just takes ages.

The TVHeadend Android TV App integrates with Live Channels just fine. EPG takes some time to update after starting, but seems to work okay after that. Unfortunately there's no (functional) PVR and timeshifting support. More over it is unusable because the actual streaming only works sporadically. This seems to be worse since the Oreo update. Disabling EPG-sync seems to solve it, but that's not really an option for every day usage of course. Based on the github activity there's currently no indication that this will be solved in the very near future.

Mi Box Plex Audio Cuts out after 1 minute

I am coming across an error that I have not seen described on any forum or discussion of Mi box known bugs. I bought a Mi Box 3 on Friday, watched a movie, it worked flawlessly, and then I updated it to Oreo. Now whenever I watch anything with 5.1 audio on Plex, the audio cuts out completely after one minute. I cannot find a solution to this, and I'm guessing the only thing that will fix it will be an update.

Edit: /u/cfoucher's solution of turning off automatically change quality did the trick. Setting it to a static video quality and audio to original appears to have fixed it

Should I get a Mi box?

HI, I have an older android box, the"victsing" which I received as a gift, and it's atrocious. Just reboots when it wants and generally takes 20 tries for an app to launch (fios, YouTube, kodi etc).

I don't have the need to cast as such, but I was going to pickup the chromecast 4k and pair it with an old samsung tab A to create a media streaming setup.

Given the above, would you advise me to go the Mi box route instead? Or another device? Pricing for either the mi box 3 or the chromecast is similar so I am agnostic to the solution.

Guidance welcome and appreciated Thanks.
