Offline Viewing on MiBox 4K - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

I got the MiBox 4K so I could watch Google Play content in my backyard, outside of WiFi range. I realized quickly that the Android TV version of Google Play Movies and TV does not support downloading. I'm still trying to figure out something before returning it.
I have sideloading working and am trying to install the full version of the Google Play Movies and TV and then use Chainfire's Sideload Launcher to run it. Unfortunately, I get a "Did not install" message after going through the install process. I'm wondering if this a hard rule on Android TV or if I've made some other mistake in APK choice or security settings.
thanks for any help!

you can't replace system app, if you want do this, you must root your device and delete this applications from /system/app

[Q] Is It Possible To Run Netflix Android Tv App??

I wonder if it's possible. I'm using an apk downloaded on aptoide and it runs the first time but no luck to watch videos.
I ask because I use a bluetooth remote and the Netflix phone app does not support it. Is that a case to use "Fake Device"? Or to edit Build.prop?

I think you must to extract tv firmware and mod it, because it is obsolete, i have the same problem.. I want to install app and i can't, and i think it's possible to activate "hdr" with an upgade, and i want to do, but i do n't know how to extract firmware (xscuse my English, i'm italian) i have experience with mod firmware, mod app etc..
The model i have is GRAETZ GR43E5600, and i think that with the help of xda developers we can do this

[LG GOOGLE TV] Apps dont work.

Hi,
I know that google discontinued their tvs but there must be a way around to get all the apps working?
Tv basically wont access internet for some reason. Every app is useless. Good thing is we use roku so dont depend on the apps but I'd like to start using youtube, send videos directly to tv to load and watch. Is this possible now a days?
Nvm roku has youtoob app.

Is there any way to see Prime Video on mx9 pro?

Welcome to the whole forum, I'm new here and I hope to find a way to solve a problem I have with my android tv box MX9 pro. The first thing I did to whatch Prime Video was to install it from the play store. The application works, allows me to log in and gives me all the movies, tv series available. But when I want to watch a video content, whatever it is, the movie starts for about a second then closes (crashes) and returns to the home page of the chosen content.
Then i tried to install the version for Android TV, obviously not through the play store, and even in this case I log in regularly. When I want to see a video content, the video does not start but constantly remaining the buffering circle.
Finally I tried to see if I could bypass the application by going through KODI and I installed the Sandmann79 add-on for prime video and, although with a different procedure, I regularly access my Prime account. When I want to start watching a video content, after setting the standard kodi player, this seems to start regularly, the time bar advances but the screen remains blank and nothing is heard.
At this point I have exhausted all the options available to me and I am forced to ask for help in this forum.
Is it really impossible to play the videos of the first videos with this device?

I don't have this device but, I'm just wondering if the following will also be helpful for what you are looking for. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within it too.

UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX Forum App on my SM-G900T device.
Thank you, i had already Read that post and i tried the last apk 4.10.3 of [email protected] but using that apk, i got an error of internet connection when i tried to watch a video. What i am trying now is to set VLC as external default player in kodi to make sure that all the videos launched by kodi are opened with vlc that always reads everything. There is an xml file to be integrated into a specific folder of kodi but then, when I want to open the video, it gives me a message that there is an external player but I do not open it then, yet, I can not say if this additional method it works or not.
Anyway the procedure suggested in the post you conseiled me doesn't work, at least for me.
Thanks Anyway.
Rockchip, the chipset company already fixed the problem of Amazon Prime Video not working over a year ago on similar devices.
The manufacturer of your tv box must have really outdated firmware and zero support since they didn't fix it.
But Amazon also blocks the tablet app from working on devices with traces of AndroidTV as in your case and the AndroidTV app only works on full AndroidTV devices having Playready 3 DRM, which your device doesn't have, thus the error with the AndroidTV app.
You can use the Kodi addon, it works correctly, check if your are using the latest version and login from the addon's settings and wait, also make sure the InputStream addon is enabled and changed to InputStream and not Kodi or something else.
Thank you. I don't think My Android Device is out dated because received Android 8. Anyway if the problem is with drm 3 no way. Not even with kodi works, i tried all i could try. I installed addon prime video of sandmann79 and enabled inputstream but i only get The movie starting with no image neither sound, only White screen and time bar going on. Therefore i wanted to try an external player as vlc.....
I think i can't go on anymore, the Device doesn't send anymore video Signal to my tv so i can't anymore display it on the tv..... Definitively broken.
At the end of all i got a conclusión that only a tv box is worthy of bringing this name, ie nvidia shield tv, albeit with all its flaws. I had one and despite very few apps were on the play store (Chrome on all), did not have an on / off button, did not display all the shortcuts in the app section, had absolutely no such problems. I gave it back because I did not like these things but I did not think that these Chinese boxes were such a crap. I tried h96 max +, mx9 pro and both of them stopped after two days of work. I think to back to buy a shield tv, the only box worked fine with prime video, Netflix, without lags thanks to his powerful hardware.

Keep Mi Box S or replace it with a Raspberry Pi 3?

I just got the Mi Box S, and finding it quite limiting..
The play store won't let you install non androidTV apps, and if you install it via downloading some APK's, the apps show up wayy in the bottom of the apps list among the "system apps"..
I installed an sshd , but it is limited to its own folder only!
So in general, too ugly.. My aim was to watch things like netflix or BBC iplayer with it and maybe chromecast to it.
I can still return it.. Shall I return it and get something like a Raspberry Pi 3 instead (4's are too expensive). I'm good with linux and frankly, I miss it with this machine.. If I get a Pi, what should I install on it to turn it into a TV box?
Thanks, -t
Stick with the Mi Box..all your problems are either not problems at all or are perfectly solvable
Netflix has it's own android tv app, not sure what problem you're facing there.
Sideloaded APKs can easily show up if you install an app called Launcher
BBC iplayer also has a android tv app, you can install via playstore or sideload..either works.
Use your sshd for storing movies etc and ideally don't use as internal storage as that will slow down apps a lot.
Don't install too many apps, only those you plan to use regularly, remove others.
