Custom backdrop images Mi Box

by gnisten_

Hi, I've recently got a Mi Box, and it's awesome with google cast and the Google backdrop feature. But, I'm having issues with setting my own pictures to be used in at the backdrop.

With a chromecast, the Google Home app lets me choose Google Photos albums to be used for the backdrop. I cannot find this option when using Google Home with my Mi Box. Why is this feature not included in Android TV? Is this something we can expect to be added? Is there a work around?

You can use this app to have your own photos as backdrop.

It's always been like that, ever since the first release on Android TV on 5.0.

No workarounds. You could find another app that you could set to show your pictures on the backdrop feature, but I haven't found a good one in a while.

It's in your Mibox settings, under display I believe.

Chromecast users Google home app bc the Chromecast doesn't have its own interface
