VLC and MX Player not working on Mi Box, Kodi working fine.

by fourpac

Does anybody know a reason why both VLC and MX Player would stop working (freeze on opening or just open to a white screen), while Kodi works just fine? I have rebooted and full reset the Mi Box, but the issues persist.

MX Player immediately scans any USB storage you have attached to your player the moment you open it. VLC might do the same thing. That's all I can think of.

As a side note:

MX Player is so good on Android Phone, but I don't see a reason to use it on Android TV, it's stripped to the bone in comparison to the phone version.

I guess if you just have some files on a USB stick attached to your player it does OK. Even then it's missing some options for me.

I feel the same way about VLC for ATV in comparison to Kodi.

I just use Kodi for all media and X-plore for file browsing/USB.
