Has anyone had hdr working on mi box 4 or 3 or s?
Bought it because it supports vp9 profile 2. YouTube does not trigger hdr..has it ever?
Smartyoutubeapp works, but I like casting and it won't cast to that by default.
I know the shield does not do YouTube hdr. No vp9 profile 2. But thought the mi box did.
Not that there is much hdr content.
On another note, when casting to YouTube, I have no controls on the TV remote and have to use my phone.?! My TV allows both. Does the shield do the same?
Like you said 4k hdr is supported on Mi Box S using Smart YouTube https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartYouTubeTV/releases/download/stable/smartyoutubetv_latest.apk you run this on Android TV device in this case Mi Box S.

"Force HDR Mode
Not all phones support HDR in the YouTube app, but Vanced can force it. HDR stands for “High Dynamic Range” and it can improve the video quality with impressive results."
