    Changing Mi Box 4/S Default Launcher

    Posted: 13 Dec 2019 06:46 AM PST

    Hey all.

    I just purchased a Mi Box S for a family member and am hoping to make the device as simple to use/senior proof as possible.

    I wanted to follow this post to change the default launcher to something very simple to use, like ATV Launcher or TVLauncher, but when I connect the laptop and Mi Box via a USB Type-A to Type-A cable (male-to-male) I do not get any message on the PC about the Mi Box being recognized or asking for device drivers to be installed. I was sure to enable developer mode on the Mi Box.

    Can anybody assist me in changing the default launcher for the Mi Box S?

    Thanks!

    Edit- So I think I'm connected to the Mi Box now. I think I just needed to enable "USB debugging" in the Settings menu of the Mi Box. But now when I attempt to enter a command, I'm getting the message

    C:\Users\****\Desktop\mi box launcher\minimal_adb_fastboot_1.4.3_portable>adb shell oneday:/ $ pm hide com.google.android.leanbacklauncher Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.MANAGE_USERS. 1|oneday:/ $ pm hide com.google.android.tvlauncher Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.MANAGE_USERS. 

    I'm also not totally sure if I should be attempting to hide leanbacklauncher (Is this outdated and no longer used?) or tvlauncher.

    Any help is appreciated!

    What is the Android TV equivalent to iOS/tvOS' Infuse App?

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 11:23 AM PST

    I'm an Apple user who is planning to buy an Android TV Box, specifically the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro, since Apple TV's lack of USB ports fails to meet my needs.

    For years I have been using the iOS media player app Infuse to play my media files on iPhone & iPad. What I love about it not just that it can pretty much read any audio & video codec, but that it has magnificent UI & UX. It automatically downloads metadata and artwork for your movies and TV shows in seconds, and everything will be smartly organized into categories.

    Is there a similar app for Android? I know I can use VLC to play any video file, but is there a similar app to Infuse that can similarly organize my files and present them elegantly for navigation? I suspect that Apple device users who use Android TV boxes are probably best to answer this question but I could be wrong. I'd really appreciate your recommendations. Thank you.

    Issue: Hisense H8F turning off at random times.

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 08:35 PM PST

    Brand new 55" from black friday. Every now and then the tv will pop up an alert that it will turn off in 30 seconds. I've gone through every setting and double checked that all timers are turned off. Is this an unchangeable thing built into the software or am I missing something?

    Best budget Android TV

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 10:05 PM PST

    I don't have cable and am looking at getting Android TV for iptv...or should I get Amazon Fire. I don't have prime. I noticed my local Walmart has the Jetstream Android TV for $70.00. is that the best one for it's price point? Is there better for that price point? Also is there like rooting for them or anything spectacular about them? I have a Roku right now for 2 TV's. I can't get Mobdro for it which is one app I've found that sounds promising. Tips, advice? Etc.

    What's the best modded YouTube App for Android TV & how do I DL it? I just want to blocks ads.

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 04:26 PM PST

    Planning to buy an NVIDIA Shield TV Pro. I intend to use YouTube on it but I want to block ads. I use to not mind them, but after they started appearing in the middle of videos and more frequently, they became intolerable. How do I download a modded YouTube app on Android TV and which is the best one? Does it require that I delete the original YouTube app? Please let me know. Thx.

    MiBox or ShieldTV to auto play a movie on USB drive possible?

    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 10:25 AM PST

    is there a way i can set up a MiBox or ShieldTV to auto play an mp4 movie on USB drive? the movie is 5 minutes and i need it to loop endlessly. basically i will use it as a TV menu displaying food on a 4K TV for my aunt's bakery. it works fine now BUT if power is out, im back to the "home" screen. is there a way to set either box to play the mp4 file automatically upon boot up?

    yes, i got a raspberry pi working fine before but it does not support 4K mp4 playback as seen here: https://github.com/adafruit/pi_video_looper
