Aside from screen mirroring and using kodi, what's the best way to play content from phone on my mibox?

The best way to play content from your phone would be casting it.

Is there a reason you rather not, or looking for another way? Maybe if it is something specific, we can think of a work around. Like if it is a storage issue than maybe use a USB drive or cloud/NAS.

I use all cast. It cost a few bucks, but it works flawlessly (and I had problems with the alternatives). It can stream to Android TV and Chromecast (obviously), Apple TV, and I think fire stick, Xbox, etc. It also works perfectly with showbox.

If casting via one of the already-mentioned apps is a no-go, then you could install an app which exposes your phone's filesystem as a network share and add that as a source within KODI. Can't remember the app I used, it was a kind of one-for-all which had loads of different types of servers you could start and stop on your phone. Might have been this one .

Providing you're on the same network that should work just fine.
