Hi all.

I just bought a Sony WH-1000xm3 and thought it would be a perfect compliment to my Mibox. But turns out, my Mibox can't detect the headphone. It can detect my xiaomi bluetooth speaker just fine.

I been digging a bit and found some people with different headphones with the same issue, and some people with no issue at all.

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I just want to mirror my Android TV on my laptop screen to comfortably set all the apps (Kodi, Veezie, etc). To operate with the remote controller it's a real pain.

PS I know Android TV app but I need to mirror

i have android live channels app connected with dvr live iptv app.

on my sony android tv remote, if i enter channel number, the channel opens using pvrlive instead of android live channels app.

is there any way to make it open via android live channels app?

when i press tv guide button on remote and select channel, i have made it to open via android live channels app

I recently got a Mi Box S 4k and installed Kodi which works excellently.

I plan to set up the Mi Box as a headless android box and have an external hdd connected while jt is connected to my router. i hope somebody can point me in the right direction.

I would like it to: -auto start Kodi when i turn on the unit -not auto sleep after x minutes

Title says it all. Does anyone have any trouble shooting suggestions? I've already factory reset the box...so I'm working clean. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Edit: jitters occur in playback. It's intermittently choppy and just looks...not smooth.

Is there a way to use the Harmony Alexa skill to change channels by voice on Live Channels?

I have a Sony 1080P 65" Android TV with Live Channels as my default tuner. I'd like to be able to tune channels up/down or by "Channel 457" etc. Is this possible?

I'm also considering the Nvidia Shield 2019, are there any Alexa or Harmony controls for that?

Hi!

So, I got a mibox a week ago and I must say after some tweaking it works really well.

The first thing that annoyed me was the fact that if you shut the box down with the remote or with Google home I you can't cast to it any more.

My fix was to side load an awesome app called wake lock revamped, with that I made the cpu and WiFi never to go to sleep which solved the problem. I can now turn it off and its still avaliable for casting and voice commands.

I had some troubles with the WiFi dropping which I solved with setting static ip and turning off turning off WiFi energy saving in the developer settings.

My only issue left is that I can't get Google home to cast netflix. I get the " sure, playing witcher from netflix on your tv" but nothing else happens. YouTube and other apps work great, it just netflix that's acting up.

Is there any one who have an idea on what I could try?

Edit: my best tip for side loading apps is to use an app called "Send files to tv" it's free, light and easy to use. You of course need a file manger on the android tv box but there is plenty to choose from.

Hey guys, I am not new to android tv boxes and have been using them for about 7 years. I would like to get a really good one, maybe around a $200 budget but also a bit flexible on that price. I want something that does 60fps 4k and has gigabit ethernet. Is there a model that you guys would recommend?

​

Thank you!

I connected my 32gb pendrive (FAT32) and 3tb external HDD (NTFS) to my android tv 8.0, videos on both are playable using the built-in player of tv but it's not a good player so i use VLC and for some reason I'm unable to see my NTFS format HDD files in it BUT FAT32 pendrive files have no problem to browse and play.

I have lots of movies and tv shows on my 3tb external HDD and i can't play them thru VLC or even Kodi which is very frustrating! Unable to format it to FAT32 either. So please someone help me find a solution guys!!

I’m sick of missing my tv shows. Is there a way to record tv shows when you’re not home, without using your home

Specifically the Hisense Android TV's. If you do know, please let me know as I am considering getting one. Thank you!

I've signed up for WARP+ and have it running on my Mobile phone. I tried to get it on my Mi Box S (Pie) but it doesn't show up on the Play Store.

I tried side loading a version of the app but it didn't work, not sure if I got the right APK.

Anyone got this working on their Android TV device yet?

Hey everyone, finally have my wife convinced to cut the cable cord but I need something to replace all our apps. I'm looking at an AndroidTV box. And from what I've been reading the nVidia Shield is hands down the best ($150/$200). The Mi s is next in the tier ($60).

Anyone know a budget box that runs the $20/$30 range, connects via HDMI, does 1080p and I can play movies from either USB or a network drive I attached to it?

Thanks.

Edit Thanks, everyone for your input! I shared it all with my wife and she pretty much said: "don't cheap out, it'll just piss me off". So we're saving for the Nvidia Shield with its new remote to make it easy. I'll also get an external network drive to directly connect to the shield for playing MKV movies and TV shows.

I can't believe that this thing is supposed to stream 4K. It doesn't even touch 20mbps.

Has anyone been able to get sling tv to work inside the live channels app? It shows up as one of the sources but when I try to set it up it just says no channels found.

I recently bought a Samsung TV and I have a lot of .mkv files saved on an external drive that I would like to play on the TV. Plugging the drive directly into the TV lets me play most of those files but certain .mkv with the DTS audio codec aren't supported. Also I can't access subtitle settings either. Would an Android TV be the solution to my problem? I just want to keep the external drive connected and just leave it there and have access to my content whenever.

Hello,

I am looking for a web browser for my Android TV. Tried the following, but none suites my purpose.

• Puffin : Doesn't work with many of the web sites, though it works for popular websites. Looks like I have to go through white list process if I want to open my own custom web site. Also cannot be used to open local network browsing as everything goes though puffin servers.
• Firefox: Side loading works, but I cannot save book marks/passwords etc. Every time I have to re-type. Looks like Firefox doesn't have permission to write into the disks. During installation, it didn't ask for any permission to access SD card etc ( which normally happens with many apps ). If any have any idea, please let me know.
• Chrome: Same issue as above after side loading.

If any one has any suggestions, please let me know.

Hey folks,

I’m trying to use the button mapper software with the AT&T tv device. It asks to enable accessibility services but I can’t find a place to do so. Any help will be appreciated.

I have Android TV on a Sony Bravia and before on the Netflix app, if I pressed the left button whatever I'm watching would rewind the last 10 seconds and keep playing. Recently now though if I press left, it goes straight to the rewind option. Does anyone else have this or is it just a bug on my setup?

Long story short: my dog chewed the remote and I can't find a replacement.

Anyone knows where can I purchase an original replacement remote (new model with netflix button)? I need Bluetooth and live at Europe.

Thank you very much in advance!

So I just recently upgraded my tv to a Vizio v655-g9 and a vizio soundbar sb36512-f6. In doing that I've went down the dolby atmos rabbit hole. Trying to get this atmos signal to pass with any android box is not that easy of a task if you want to on a budget. I've read posts all over reddit saying this box with work or that one will work with CoreELEC and Kodi. I have had some luck with a newer Amlogic passing through Dolby Digital Plus with atmos but not Dolby TrueHD. Is the Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 able to play and pass Dolby TrueHD effortlessly? I'm tired of jumping through a bunch of hoops just to get atmos to play, I just want to plug in my usb drive and watch a movie with everything working without having to go through all the hassle.

I have recently updated Mi Box S’ software then my AirPods wouldn’t work properly. They would pair successfully but any video won’t play (Youtube, Netflix etc) while AirPods are still connected. Once AirPods are not connected, all videos run smoothly.

Never had this problem prior to the latest patch. Anyone could help? Thanks!

I bought a bt remote control to use with my tv but I can`t assign Discover menu and Action menu to it. I`m using button mapper to make it happen but is not working. I`m trying as intents com.sony.dtv.discovery for discover button and com.sony.dtv.scrums.action for action button but nothing happen.... Anyone knows something about it? Thank you.

edit: What can I use to find out what exactly happen when discover/action button do/launch when is pressed? Multilanguage Keymap Redefiner shows nothing.
