    Android TV Cant change default launcher on MiBox

    Cant change default launcher on MiBox

    Posted: 25 Feb 2020 06:23 AM PST

    Just updated my MiBox about a week ago. When it updated it went back to the default launcher. Ive tried several different launchers including the one I was using prior and it still goes back to stock launcher when I press home. Ive been able to change the default launcher before on both of my Miboxes but for some reason I can now. Ive tried several launchers, clearing defaults even though there were none set on the stock launcher, and disabling the default launcher. Nothing has changed me pressing my home button and it going to stock. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Mi Box S + External HD

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 08:19 PM PST

    Is it alright to always have an external hard drive connected via usb to the the Xiaomi Mi Box S? The Android TV Box doesn't have a proper shut down option so whenever I "turn off" the box, the attached hd is still on when I'm about to power off my entire home theater system. Isn't that bad for the hard drive?

There are many regular ones that do for about $25 and then there are whta the call X3 Cube and X3 pro that go for $70-$80. I have been trying to get a seller to explain to me the difference but no one does. I would greatly appreciate it someone here could tell me the difference. Many thanks.

    Searchable Apps??

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 06:09 PM PST

    Hey guys just recently joined the android tv family. I picked up a sonyx950 tv with Android built right in. So far very happy with the system and how smooth everything is. My issue comes when I try to use the Google Assistant voice search, it only shows results from Netflix or YouTube. I found a setting for "searchable Apps" but it is blank and there are no options at all. Anyone know why this is or a potential fix?? Thanks in advance

    Turning Android based Projector on/off

    Posted: 24 Feb 2020 03:21 PM PST

    Hi, I have a XGIMI h1 projector as my main unit which runs on android 5. To turn it on and off there is a remote (BT) which prompts a dialogue window asking for my shutdown method (off, turn lens off, reboot). It doesn't have CEC.

    I'm using an Nvidia shield connected to it as my main source. However I could not find a way to turn the projector on or off either via Nvidia shield or the Google home assistant.

    In a perfect world I could just say turn on TV and both devices would come to life. Or I could just turn off the projector via the Nvidia shield remote. Period.

    Any thoughts or ideas on which direction I could go? Thank you very much!

    Tech gurus,please i need some guidance.

    Hi there folks,salutations from sunny Spain.

    Ok so here is the deal:

    Pops is sick at the moment dyalisis every 3 days and now his PSA is high (could be cancer,wont know till he gets the biopsy done)
    I spend most of my time at home taking care of him so i want to make him feel as confortable as possible,apart from cooking and keeping him active as possible i want him to be entertained.
    So anyway he spends a lot of time at home and he loves movies and tv series so everyday he asks me for a specific movie or tv series and then i look for it in my pc.
    I have plenty of space and i was tired of dragging all those dvds around so i just ripped them and put them on my pc and a couple of external drives.
    And now whenever i buy a dvd i just rip it and keep it in my pc so i can pass it to him for whenever he wants to watch it,we would get a service like netflix or something like that but for now he prefers to shop for dvds or just watch the stuff he already has.

    Now this is a bit of a pain because each time he wants to watch something i have to look for it in my pc or the external drives,then copy it to a pendrive then put the pendrive in the tv.
    His current tv is a non smart samsung tv model UE40J5100.

    This model only has one usb port and im afraid it might break one day ( i use it 3 or 4 times a day) and they we are screwed so i need some help coming up with a setup for him to use.
    Ideally something with a capacity of 2TB or more where i can dump in all the stuff he usually watches (old western movies,nazi movies and series about lawyers hehe) and then he can just use a remote and browse what he wants.

    Was looking at android boxes with a 3.0 USB connection,and i was thinking that an android box+2tb har drive would be the best choice (if im wrong please let me know)

    So far,this is what i have come up with as a setup for my pops:

    https://www.amazon.es/Bqeel-Android-Quad-Core-Cortex-A53-Soporte/dp/B07PP5LPV6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

    and for external drive (even thou i have a couple but i thought i would buy a new one,you know fresh start and all that) i was thinking of getting this:

    https://www.amazon.es/WD-Elements-Disco-Externo-port%C3%A1til/dp/B06W55K9N6/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_es_ES=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=2M6V91U2GON2O&keywords=disco+duro+externo+2tb&qid=1582580873&sprefix=disco+duro+e%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-3

    or

    https://www.amazon.es/Toshiba-Canvio-Basics-Port%C3%A1til-Pulgadas/dp/B07994QL95/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_es_ES=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=2M6V91U2GON2O&keywords=disco+duro+externo+2tb&qid=1582580873&sprefix=disco+duro+e%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-4

    Links in spanish,sorry im from Spain so that is the ones i came up with.

    Well anyway,thanks in advance for all the help.
    Apologies for any grammar,punctuation or errors in sintaxis,english isnt my native language and the english i know i learned by playing mmos hehe.

    cheers

    Hello! I just got a Phillips TV with android TV and whenever I use the YouTube app it autoplays the next suggestion, even though I have long since turned autoplay off and it displays as off in the settings. Anybody have any suggestions?
