I was wondering what the community for this sub had to say as far as what they would like to see on an Android TV

Hi,

I've had the MiBox for a year and half. Today it stopped responding. It still starts when I plug it in and then the recommendations populate. But it does not respond to the remote. Even tried it with the Android tv app and it does not even detect an Android tv on wifi or Bluetooth. I updated the MiBox yesterday but it worked till I put it in standby at the end of the day.

Anyone has any suggestions on troubleshooting this? So far all I could do was unplug power and HDMI cable for couple minutes before reconnecting.

Thanks.

Edit: appreciate all the responses. Later yesterday (after a power blip for 30 minutes), the android tv app detects it now. It still does not respond to the remote. Tried holding down the back and voice button to re-sync. prolly got that wrong. But at least it is working now, just with the app. Did nothing special on my part, but oh well.

Could’ve sworn I saw something about this before the update, but can’t figure it out now.

Thanks

Hello,

I switched recently from a Raspberry Pi 3 to a Xiaomi mi box 3. Generally feeling it's good in terms of performance however in HD movies with not really high but rate (8k or less) 1080p I face lag and video desync issues, I would say doesn't really seems like buffering... On raspberry I was able play them smoothly and no issues.

Should I do some adjustments on the advanced settings file as I did on the raspi? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

What app would you recommend to watch a stream of UFC pay per views?

I have installed nzbLeech on my Xiaomi Mi Box 3s, when trying to search, the keyboard does not show. Does anyone have a work-around when keyboard does not show on Android Tv?

I've added external HDD to MiBox (international - latest official firmware) - and I've got one problem - at night i hear HDD spinning on/off every ~30 seconds (even when MiBox is in standby mode/switched off).

Is there any way to change this ? (so external HDD "spins" only when MiBox is "on")

I have an Nvidia Shield 2017 setup with Flirc and my Harmony 650 remote. After a bunch of messing around, I finally got the remote working exactly as expected in all the apps I use. However, there is one weird issue that I haven't been able to track down an answer to.

If my system is in an off state (tv off, receiver off and shield in sleep or on mode), and on my harmony remote I hit "Watch TV", everything starts up as expected. Only problem is, none of the buttons to control the shield will work immediately. Over the next couple of minutes, more and more buttons will start to work. First the arrow keys will work after a minute or so, a minute later the ok button will start working, etc etc. I haven't timed it exactly, but it could be up to 5 minutes before all the buttons are working as expected. Once it's on, everything works fine until I power off and try the 'watch tv' again.

In the meantime, if I hit "Watch TV" on the remote, the shield remote and controller will work fine despite the harmony not working yet. It's very strange.

Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions on where to look? I haven't provided exact details on exactly how I have everything configured, but can provide details if necessary. I originally had the Flirc key plugged into a USB hub that went into the shield, I've since moved it to plug directly in, but no change.

I am developping an Android app that stream live football games and would like to know how to stream .m3u8 files?

I read an old post that said once it updates to 7.0, it'll have more options than HDhomerun

I have MIBox, any suggestion on how to add sideloaded app shortcut on home screen.. i have few streaming apps and cant add them to home screen any way..

So I just bought some 3D glasses because I quite enjoyed some movies in 3D on my old TV. The problem is I can't activate 3D mode.

This seems to be a common problem on Sony and from what I've gathered there was a work around to no 3D button on the remote which was to just buy an old remote or download one on your phone.

But apparently in the update to Marshmallow this work around was shut down and no longer works. As far as I know we have the 7th version of AndroidTV and as I doubt they have any interest in fixing it I'm looking for a solution.

I figured this would be the place to ask for a solution. If anyone knows how to gain total control over the TV or maybe there's an App that bypasses this or perhaps I could rollback to AndroidTV 5.1.

Any help or possible solution it would be greatly appreciated.
