How is the mi box in handling Kodi? I want to use it as a media player and Google cast too. And other things. How does it handle HD content? Can the remote control Kodi? .... Can it be rooted?? ...I know it's mentioned a lot here and I wanted to know personal experience with it mainly with Kodi.
Thanks!
Have one and haven't regretted the purchase of it. It has worked very well with Kodi. It is a versitile Android device. I still use the Shield, since that is the the ultimate streamer, but my Mibox in the bedroom works fantastic. If you want Android TV and want a cheap entry box that is an official Android TV device, Mibox is it. Never had a problem with Kodi and even SPMC works amazing as well.
There is low storage on the Dreamlink. It only has 1gig ram and 8gigs in it but the problem was when I installed all the necessary programs, it left only 2 gigs. The Shield and Mibox have expandable storage and works seamless for me.
The MiBox is a great device for Kodi 17, runs official Android TV and casts without issue (atleast from Chrome as that's all I've tried). Remote is quite basic, but works great with Kodi. No idea about rooting. I have issues with Netflix and my 4k TV, but it works fine on my 1080p TV. I'm hoping the upcoming V7 update will rectify that :)
In my eyes, it's a great box with a decent price for Android TV
