Hey, guys! I recently buy this MiBox S to enhance my old tv with an SmartTv interface. But I'm having some trouble. See, I successfully connected to my WiFi and even can watch Netflix, Amazon and YouTube with an great performance, but when I try to use the App Store or the Spotify app nothing happens. I'm faced with an blank screen or with an warning that there's no WiFi connection. This happens when I try to use the Google Assistant too.

I really wanted to enjoy the most of my AndroidTv, some of you can help me with this?

PS I already tried making the static IP and checked the date, but didn't help with it.

ps² sorry for anything with my writing. I am brazilian.

Hey everyone!

Just got my first Android Tv and I love it! (TC’ 43EP663)

However I’m having one issue that’s ruining the experience :

I use the tv for :

• Watching Live Tv
• Watching Netflix
• Playing the PS4

I’ve enabled HDMI cec so the Tv turns on when I wake the PS4.

The problem : Every time I turn the Tv on, it selects the last input it was on. So if I was playing the ps4 and I turn the tv off, it will turn the ps4 on when I turn the tv back on. Also, when I click on the TV app, it goes to the ps4 hdmi automatically. If I want to watch Live TV I have to select it via the source button.

• Is there any way to make the TV app only for Live TV or create an icon only for it ?

I’ve downloaded « Launch on Boot » so the TV starts on the TV app but I have the impression that HDMI/Live TV are associated and it goes on the last used Input.

Thanks a lot!

Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the size of the subtitles on Netflix app on androidtv, they are just so small on my TV and I do not see a way to increase the size.

So I have a 32inch Sylvania android tv, on the back of it are what looks like the old school AV ports. Yellow for video , and red/white for sound. Trying to hook up my wii to those ports with the same colors but the tv cant recognize it... help please??

A very annoying thing that is happening is that I have a bluetooth keyboard connected but every time I click on a text box it thinks it needs to open the on screen keyboard. I tried disabling the gboard app but all it did is make it open a voice typing keyboard instead. (wtf?) Is there a special app I need to install that loopkills the keyboard process or what?

I have 2 Google accounts on my Xiaomi Mi Box S but there is no option to switch between accounts in Google Play Movies. I can't see the purchased films linked to my second account in the app library. For instance, I have no issues on Youtube like that. It works fine.

Any help will be appreciated.

I sat for about 3 hours to try and fix this issue. I used to be able to use this feature to stream movies or shows from my PC to my TV with broken HDMI box and now it doesn't work for videos anymore. I tried every solution on the internet and nothing works. I can still use cast to device to feature photos on it. I tried using my phone Smart View feature and got the same result. Pictures work, videos don't. I think I should mention I don't have Wi-Fi on my PC, so I'm connected with ethernet. Anyone got any idea on how I can get it to work again?

Hello, I am looking for something to play .mkv/.mp4 files over and old LCD TV. I would use an external USB pen drive formatted in exFAT and KODI as player.

I have seen about Nvidia Shield TV Pro, but it seems out of stock everywhere. The basic version has not USB outputs. Which are the alternatives? Thanks.

So I had an update pending on my Mi Box for a few months now. Finally updated it and after the reboot I cannot play a single video/stream if I have bluetooth headphones connected. The really odd thing is it's not just stuck paused.

For example, I woke the device up, connected my headphones, opened Netflix, found a show and went to play.. The loading animation appeared and was counting up painfully slow. Eventually getting stuck at 25% every time I tried playing anything. Thinking something was wrong with my internet connection, I turned off my headphones and within about a second the loading completed, and the video immediately started playing. Reconnected my headphones and as soon as they connected, the playback paused and wouldn't resume until I turned the headphones off again.

Went through this cycle about 15 times, trying to power down the system, factory reset and re-pair my headphones, reconnecting them many times, nothing seems to be working. And similar things are happening across any apps I try to stream videos from.

I've got 5 Android boxes in the house, none of them will stream video in D+, three of them will let me download and play the downloaded file, one won't launch the app and one won't even install (it's 4.4 so meh).
Every other service I use (Amazon, Netflix, iPlayer, YouTube, Zion and streams from my media server) runs fine, just not D+ (I don't have NowTV anymore since my NowTV box died and the app won't run on any of my boxes).
Do I just need a box with a certain newness of Android or are there certified devices? I know I can spend £25 on a firestick but from my 10 minute tinker with (a stock) one a while back they're bit laggy and the control is crap.

One of the major changes that Google announced was that Pie was optimised for lower-specced devices.

Seeing videos online though, it appears that it is smoother and zippier than Oreo, even on low end Amlogic hardware.

Thinking of getting either a Vodafone TV or Mi Box S for Android Pie. As my Sony X8000D is now three years old and stuck on Oreo.

Youtube sometimes let's me watch some live TV stations, but I just want easy access to CNN, Msnbc, Bloomberg, BBC, sky etc. Are there any that do this?

It's brilliant they brought this new feature in, I had been wanting it for ages, but does anyone else think they did a bad job?

Firstly, the first item on the menu is Play. This is stupid. A single click does play, why would I want to hold click and then click again for play. The hold click should have the things you want most at the top. Pointless.

The next one is Not interested. I never/rarely use this. So why is it second?

Watch later - this is the one most people want to use, this should be at the top! I really don't understand how they got this so wrong.

Does anyone know where I can go to complain or give this feedback to the Devs?

Hello, after i guess new update, my TV box turn on TV at night automatically. I had CEC off then i tried to turn it on for a day, still turning on, then i turned it off but my TV still turns on for no reason. Anyone know how to stop it?

I put times to turn TV off when i go sleep but mi box is always on.

Thanks

Hey, I'm still using version 2.11. I tried a couple of sites to see if there was a new version. Does anyone know where I can get the latest for the Shield?

I recently got an Android TV box and I was looking for a night shift feature for it. Twilight is great at doing that but there is a big problem with it. After installing it and enabling it through accessibility settings, my remote becomes not so responsive as it was before and some keys are reprogrammed. For example, when I press dpad middle to open an app, it acts as if I had long pressed the app. Is that happening only in my box or its something happening to everyone and I have to bear with it?

I have one Cyberghost VPN account that I can use on my MiBox S. Never used it, can I safely use Netflix with it and without it (wanted to use it just with one user of my Netflix acc)?

Anyone got Android 9 update or heard something about it? This time last year Android 8 was rolling out. What's happening?(I'm sorry if the title is misleading, I saw it after publishing and i can't correct it)

So not all know this but its rather simple.

If you do know what adb is and how to get it, this is not for you.

Now when this is away lets get started.

1. Enable developer mode on your box

2. Enable usb debugging while doing this(note your usb port will no longer work until disabled again)

3. open command window in windows (cmd.exe)

4. Connect to your mibox device example adb connect 192.168.1.10:5555 (port 5555 is default)

5. adb shell pm list packages -f

6. Copy entire section and see what you would like to remove

7. Type adb shell

8. List of known files that is normally preloaded/installed into the box, copy paste any into the cmd and uninstall/deactivate them (note they will either show up again after a reboot or after a few seconds/minutes, but they will no longer be installed)

    //Mibox 3 preloaded apps
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.cbs.ott
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.hulu.livingroomplus
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.pandora.android.atv
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.showtime.standalone
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.nousguide.android.rbtv
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sling
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 air.com.vudu.air.DownloaderTablet
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.android.tvsetup.partnercustomizer
    
    //Android languages keyboard
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.inputmethod.korean
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.inputmethod.hindi
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.inputmethod.japanese
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.inputmethod.zhuyin
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.inputmethod.pinyin
    
    //Android google apps
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.tv
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.play.games
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.music
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.tts
    pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.leanbacklauncher.recommendations
   

Doing a hardware reset will revert back all changes you made.

Good luck.

I have Xiaomi mibox S. I want to define a button on my TV remote (IR) via CEC to go to the home screen on my mibox S. Is it possible? How do I do it?
