    Adam, you said in the video you like a particular android tv box ? Layo? IS THE SHIELD just a limited version of the Google playstore, is there a box that gives you access to all ?

    • @streamingjunkie4397
      @streamingjunkie4397 5 років тому

      There are alternative app store apps including two apps that will spoof the hardware id of the Nvidia to mimic cell phones causing Google to believe the Nvidia is a phone to unlock the entire Google play store.

    Hi Adam. Google have doctored or nobbled puffin so it will not download apps and apks. you can download downloader and file linked. But side loading anything from anywhere else you have to use Xplore.file manager. Loading from a stick.
    Is there an apk that loads from the android phone like the app2fire does on a fire stick.
    Just set my dad (87) with a mi box s. He’s over the moon with it. I’m the one setting it up so I find it frustrating trying to find way to load apps.
    Most apps are hidden in settings but if you load the ATV app it puts all your hidden apps in one place on the home page. Is there a way to add another line of apps on the home page.

    I connect my Galaxy S9+ to my TV when I get home rather than having a dedicated streaming box, that way my streaming apps are with me when I'm out too. Once I'm home the phone is my router, everything else connects up to it. This way I save money not having to pay for home internet, current 4G is good enough and with 5G this system will be better than home broadbad.
    Only having to buy 1 device to be your phone, TV streamer, router and having less lag by having the mobie internet connection directly to it rather than being slowed by home WiFi, it's the best way to go in my opinion, you also get the benefit of having a full Android OS, no restrictions.

    I've got a Vodafone TV box from Vodafone Australia for a crazy cheap A$72, fully certified with Netflix, running Android TV 7 with specs almost the same as the Mi Box S - S905 processor, 2mb ram, 8mb storage AND it also a built-in TV card. Android TV is great, though more limited than normal Android for hackers.
    Btw, Google certification is not the same as Netflix certification - the manufacturer has to pay Netflix to get that. The Mecool KM3 and KM9 never had Netflix running officially, not sure where you got that one from, though I've read there are ways around it. As for apps on Android TV, it's not a big issue installing non-ATV apps from the USB, or using an air mouse, and you can also install Aptoide to get apps not in the Playstore.

  • @WY-DaveZ71
    @WY-DaveZ71 5 років тому +1

    If you have a Mi Box S, you'll notice you can't find Amazon Prime video in the app store.
    If you sideload it, when you actually try watch it, you get no audio and it'll lock up.
    The fix is to download Amazon Prime 4.11.4 and sideload it, anything higher doesn't work.
    This is due to the pissing match between Google and Amazon.
    One thing I don't get is why you can't get Chrome in the app store!!! I also have not yet found an older version which will work. Because the browsers, IMO, that are in the app store...SUCK!!!!

    I have 2 Xiaomi Boxes (ver. 3 & ver. 4) as well as an Nvidia shield and a Roku (mistake!). I haven't had any issues with the cheaper Xiaomi Mi Box (for those on a budget) and would definitely recommend it; however, if budget is *not* an issue, go for the Nvidia shield. The boxes are used for pure TV watching pleasure and no gaming whatsoever.

    Mee cool km3 and km9 pro are officially google certified as they are among the list mentioned on Google's own website for android box list. Now Netflix not working issue has to do with support from Netflix not google. For example from past few years I am using Mi Tv box 3 which is google certified tv box. But it don't have prime video support officially. Now in Mi box S they have added support for prime video with Pie Update.

All I heard was Dolby Vision only supported only on a few apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime. When I answered yes, to my surprise, the entire UI showed up in Dolby Vision HDR. Like holy cow!

      @Nolberto Cales Cube has many problems. It runs on a 32 bit OS, not 64 Bit which limits your use to 32 bit apks. Also, no storage options. You would need to use a OTG cable with a USB plug, and that in turn is limited to USB 2.0. No ethernet plug. No plex server. There are more disadvantages to the cube but I'll leave it there. There are many videos that cover it. Also Amazon's version of Android has been very buggy. If you check user forums, they are loaded with complaints. Amazon no longer makes good devices.
