    Android TV Can Smart YouTube completely replace stock YouTube app?

    Can Smart YouTube completely replace stock YouTube app?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2020 05:24 AM PST

    Smart YouTube is great. I have noticed, however, that it can't completely replace the stock YouTube app within voice searches.

    When I do a voice search—say, 2019 nfl playoffs highlights—Google Assistant shows me a list of YouTube videos. If the stock YouTube app has not been disabled, choosing a video will open it in that instead of Smart YouTube. If the stock app has been disabled, choosing a video does nothing.

    Smart YouTube can work from voice search. the 8-bit guy usually behaves the same as above, but sometimes (I haven't been able to figure out the pattern) the title of the results specifies that the video will open in Smart YouTube, and it does. the 8-bit guy on youtube causes Google Assistant to speak "Alright, playing The 8-bit Guy on YouTube"; despite that last word, Smart YouTube properly starts and plays the most recent video in The 8-bit Guy's channel.

    Suggestions? (And no, 2019 nfl playoffs highlights on smart youtube doesn't work. Google Assistant uses the entire phrase as a YouTube search query.)

    mi box s keep switching resolution from 4k to 1080p

    Posted: 12 Jan 2020 07:19 AM PST

    Damn the pie update, it is the third bug I've found so far. I have a 4k TV and the recommendation resolution it said was 1080p, so I manually changed it to 4k only to found out that mi box would randomly switch it back for unknown reason. This happens too often and annoys me like hell. Fix your bug before you release . , Xiaomi.

    Disney & Netflix Dolby 5.1 not working mi box s

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 04:06 PM PST

    Hey everyone!

    Been having problems with my mi box S since the android 9.0 update.

    First problem, all videos would play for about 1.5 minutes the stop. Tried everything, finally had to reset it, fixed that problem (still a minor 30 reset everytime a Bluetooth devices disconnects , but only on Disney +)

    But the new main problem is Dolby 5.1 from Netflix or Disney. Both, no matter what I do only does stereo. Plex does Dolby 5.1 fine, so it's not my setting. I think it's the Netflix and Disney apps not playing well with the mi box s and the new 9.0 update.

    Can anyone else with a mi box S , and android 9.0, confirm if Netflix or Disney is doing Dolby 5.1?

    My setup mi box S --> Vizio TV --> (optical input) Vizio sound bar

    Edit:. Netflix Solution, set it to spdif or auto and restart the box and hopefully it will fix it if you have the same problem. Thanks to R6ckstar for the tip. Disney+ still only does stereo with this trick.

    USB Mouse Problem With Mi Box S 4K

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 11:57 PM PST

    Recently bought the Android Box, but it doesn't seem to be working properly with an usb mouse. While built-in settings section and YouTube work properly, other apps like Netflix -even Google Play- isn't working very well with the mouse. Can't search anything in Google Play because nothing happens when I click the search button. Netflix is the worst, can't do anything with the mouse.

    I think the reason is related to these apps are designed only for TV and the TV remote, but wondered if others have experienced the same issues. Is there any workaround for this, or should I just install the standard versions of these apps?

    Steam 1080p/60 FPS succes...

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 06:08 PM PST

    Managed to get GForceNOW up and running on my AF8/A8F, and I am amazed

    First game I tried runs 1080p/60 without problems, consuming about 25-40mbit/s, and there isn't a glitch.

    Very very satisfied and surprised a low rated processor can handle it without a glitch

    Replacing my old TV - should I get a stream box for my use case?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 09:34 PM PST

    I currently have a Chromecast Ultra and use it to stream Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, YouTube, Twitch, Videostream (for local files) and mirror tabs for anything else from my computer (though there's a quality drop for that), which is also in my bedroom.

    Most of the content I watch is in 1080p and I've never been bothered by that (so yes, the Ultra is overkill, which is why I want to make sure if a stream box fits my needs).

    Since my new TV is a 2019 model, the built-in apps shouldn't be too sluggish just yet. Further, the only Chromecast problem I have is mirroring tabs, and I have a PS4 (not Pro) that I could hypothetically use for some streaming. I could also connect my tablet to my TV to avoid having to screen mirror as well.

    I've looked at spec sheets and features lists for a couple of stream boxes and nothing's really caught my attention, but maybe that's because I've never used one. Maybe a stream box would be better in a few years when my TV stops getting updates? Thanks in advance.

    MI Box S - safe to update if you have HDHomeRun?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 04:48 PM PST

    When the update to 9(beta?) came out I saw posts saying it breaks chromecast and hdhomerun. I saw some suggested fixes for chromecast but not hdhomerun. Anyone got it working or just hold off on the update? Thanks!

    Mi Box S Casting Problem on New Update

    Mi Box S Casting Problem on New Update

    Hi,

    After updating software I have a problem casting from my laptop or phone. Casting from Youtube, Facebook and Netflix work fine but as I try to play something from other websites I ran into this screen. I choose to cast to the TV from my device it starts loading and says it's casting but all I can see on TV is this screen. I have tried clearing cache and data of the Chromecast app and it's still not working, sometimes it helps to restart Mi Box, but not always.

    Does anyone have the same problem or knows the solution?

    Has anyone had any success running BT Sport on Android TV (Sony Bravia)

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 12:41 PM PST

    I've installed the latest apk but when I try to run it, it tells me Google Play Services needs updating. I click the link but only get the option to uninstall, telling me that Google Play Services is already updated.

    Any ideas?
