Mi Box vs Nvidia Shield Pro

Hi guys, I'm a Mi Box user. I like it but sometimes it struggles to do a few things. For example, when playing large mkv files, Mx Player sometimes freezes. Also if I'm downloading some torrents, the whole system seems to slowdown.

Currently I'm using a 128gb Samsung pendrive. Samsung 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Fit (MUF-128BB/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017DH3O5A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_zpWQ7eAXLu5LD

Anyone knows of the Nvidia Shield had a better performance for this? Playing big mkv files and multiple downloads?

I heard that the Nvidia Shield Pro comes with a 500gb internal drive. Is the performance good enough?

GameStream (Shield) not loading some games?

Hi All,

Just picked up a Shield TV (2017 16GB) and love it. Curious if anyone has had issues with games not loading on GameStream? I have some that work and some that don't.

Some will show the splash screen when i hit load but then it goes back to my PC desktop. I can't figure out why and internet searches haven't come up with anything that helps yet.

Initially it was games where UAC needed the 'OK' confirmation. I'd have to run back to PC and hit yes then it would load. I disabled UAC to see if that wholly fixed it but same games still dump back to my PC desktop on the shied. If i go to my PC and manually load the games the shield picks it up and runs fine.

Seems bizarre it can't quite launch them properly.

I've tried moonlight and this does the exact same thing, but the mouse feature at least works on the control so i can launch games manually via the controller using it. Still not ideal though.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Kodi 18 Nightly builds

I've tried to install a whole bunch of those, but it fails every time. Is this expected for current nightlies or am I doing something wrong?

I'm on a 4K MiBox, using arm64-v8a builds. I gather that's the right ones for a Cortex-A53.

EDIT: The v7a builds install well. Should that not be the other way around?

Xiaomi MiBox3 lost 4K support in YouTube, Netflix.

I noticed last week that YouTube could not stream content in 4K anymore. I turned on debugging information, it shows the optimal resolution for a 4K video as 1920x1080 (was 3840x2160). I tried Netflix too. Same result.

Did this happen to anyone else?

[How To] Disable auto-update for new YouTube app without disabling Play Store auto-update

For those of you who wish to use the old YouTube Android TV app because the new one sucks (for example, you can't sign in to a brand account... ie, a sub-account), I have figured out how to disable it auto-updating without disabling auto-updates in the Play Store.

Step one: go to your system apps and uninstall updates for YouTube. Then disable the app.
Step two: download the
YouTube for Android TV 1.3.11 apk and install it.

I used to have to uninstall the YouTube update every day. I followed these steps last week and so far it hasn't updated. I figured that installing the apk outside the Play Store would do the trick, but I wasn't sure what would happen with disabling the system app YouTube (because it comes with my NVIDIA Shield and I believe it also comes with the Mi Box). Everything seems to be working great.

Edit: I'm such a tool. Apparently my son has been uninstalling updates every morning before I was even awake. So I thought the entire time that my fix had worked. Sorry about getting all your hopes up!

Another edit: skynet_watches_me_p says:

if you have the developer tools turned on, you can install and lock packages via ADB interface. Install the 1.3.11 APK and lock it using adb.

I am going to attempt and then post my results!

Kodi (Shield TV) not adding full library?

Hi all,

Just got my shield tv and having issues adding libraries to kodi. I keep getting a 'connection to server lost' or something to that effect when it's trying to add the folder and scrape data from tvdb. I constantly have to hit 'try again' and it keeps going but it's losing the files that error.

I've had kodi on a variety of devices over years and never come across this issue.

Hopefully someone had same issue and can help.

Thanks.

Playing Touch Screen Games on an Andriod TV Box?

I've recently been toying around with my Xiaomi Mi Box and found a way to get mobile Google Play games put onto the box. I really enjoyed playing Power Rangers Legacy Wars and figured that maybe it'd be better played with a controller. When I opened it up I came to an update screen and even triggering the mouse toggle it wouldn't click or do anything.

So I was wondering if there was a way to map touch screen games to play on an Android TV. Any help would be appreciated.

No audio in Google Play Movies

My Shield TV it doesn't play any audio from movies or TV shows purchased from Google anymore . It worked last week, but when I went to watch Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Rick and Morty this week it is now silent.

I have audio in all the other apps such as hulu, netflix, amazon prime. I can even hear the UI click sounds in Google Play Movies. It appears to affect all purchased content or at least all of the ones I tried. Playing movie trailers work though. I tried clearing cache data for the app and still had the same problem. I did find that if I uninstall updates to Google Play Movies the sound comes back. Once it updates, the sound goes away.

I tried casting from my Galaxy Tab S3 and there was audio.

I don't have any special setup, just HDMI connected to receiver. Any one else seen this before? Suggestions?

Thanks.
