Google Cast turns off when Mi Box is in Sleep Mode

by Deeco7

Bit of a weird one, but i noticed that i can no longer cast to my Mi Box when it's out to sleep.

Shouldn't it work like for the Shield does it?

Yes, it's frustrating. All other boxes including Chromecast keeps the cast receiver active in the background.

I don't know about you guys but mine did this since the day the MiBox came out. If the light is off on the box, you can't cast. I eventually stopped turning off the box. How much power could it possibly be using

Is this something that can be fixed with a software update? Hope so!

I have a similar issue. When trying to cast from Google Home, it even confirms that everything is good by saying "OK, playing 'blah' on TV", but nothing actually happens.

i have the same issue, it used to not do this before the last few updates

Just a question....But is it really worth putting to sleep anyway. The power draw can't be much.
