I have a Mi Box and I am very satisfied with the amount of news available on the device.
Here is a list of the apps I have successfully installed on my box:
I had to sideload this 2, but they work fine:
For what it's worth, I'm in Brazil and all the apps are working without registration or any tricks.
Hi all,
Some info first:
Here's the thread I posted yesterday on r/PleX for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/8usxh4/what_solution_for_my_parents_to_access_my_plex/
I want to install some kind of htpc at my parents house, easy to use. I want to be able to "feed it" media content from outside (I live far away), and media need to be stored locally, as their internet connection is very slow. This second requirement make it difficult to run a Plex client, as it mostly only support streaming (it would require to transcode way down in quality).
So now I'm considering other option. Hence my post here.
Question: What are the possibilities for Android TV (Nvidia, Mibox...) for remote access ? I picture something like a Mi Box running Kodi, with an external hard drive attached, that I could send media to from outside (not from the same network). I could be some sync program (btsync, syncthings) or ftp, or something else.
Can you guys send some experience feedback on this ?
I think I’ve managed to narrow down my issue at https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/8ty2ig/netflix_51_apparently_officially_unsupported_on/?st=JJ05DVMZ&sh=da5007a6 to Samsung (and possibly Yamaha) sound bars.
I’ve discovered that when the Shield was updated to Nougat, users with the same sound bar as me (HW-K950) experienced the exact same problem.

For the record, Xiaomi support (or affiliated) has been terrible.
I’m awaiting a follow up call from Netflix this evening, who are my last hope at this point (not counting on Xiaomi). It could be that Nvidia, ironically, end up saving the day though (see detailed findings).
