Using local servers like Jellyfin or Plex is possible on this type of streaming box, because it runs Android 11 and allows applications to be installed via the Google Play Store. This means you can download and use local streaming apps like Jellyfin or Plex, as long as they are compatible with Android TV. However, I don't have any specific information about the compatibility or performance of these apps on this particular model.
The use of Sky Show via the box depends on whether Sky Show offers an app for Android TV that can be installed on the box. Since the box supports Android TV, you could use Sky Show if there is a corresponding app. Unfortunately, I don't have any specific information on whether Sky Show is available directly on this box. You could try installing the app via the Google Play Store if it is available.
The Xiaomi TV Box S 4K (2nd Gen) with Google Assistant does not support an integrated web browser app that is directly available in the Google Play Store. However, you can install external browsers such as Google Chrome or Firefox via APK files, which requires some technical knowledge. Alternatively, there are browsers specially developed for Android TV, such as TV Bro, which are well suited for use with a remote control and are available in the Google Play Store.
All these applications are available on the Xiaomi and they work perfectly.
Just go to application and type the text in the search bar.
The application will appear, along with similar ones.
In my opinion, there are two possibilities:
1. When you initially configured your Xiaomi box, you didn't choose the right country (Switzerland).
2. You are using a VPN with an IP that is not in Switzerland.
Please check.
Yes, you can use Disney+ with the Xiaomi TV Box S 4K (2nd Gen). The device has access to the Google Play Store, where you can download and install the Disney+ app.
Hello Tantan10,
even though I don't have a Swisscom subscription, I would still like to share my experience. I use both Huawei and Xiaomi devices, including a Xiaomi box, and have had no problems with my internet connections so far. The fact that Chinese chips are used in many devices does not necessarily mean that there are security issues. My experience with Huawei and Xiaomi has been consistently positive, and I have not encountered any "bugs" or similar issues. It could be that other factors were responsible for the problems with the previous Box model. A+
The Xiaomi TV Box S 4K (2nd Gen) with Google Assistant runs on the Google TV operating system, which is based on Android. Although Google TV offers access to the Google Play Store, the installation of non-officially supported apps such as SmartTubeNext (an alternative to YouTube) is not possible directly via the Play Store.
However, such apps can be installed manually by downloading the APK file and installing it on the device. However, this requires several steps and can entail potential security risks, as the installation of apps outside the Play Store is not monitored by Google.
It is therefore technically possible to install SmartTubeNext, but it is important to consider the risks and the need for root permissions or other workarounds.
Hello Community,
I need an audio splitter so that I can use two Bluetooth headphones via the Xiaomi TV Box S 4K (2nd Gen). When I connect the two Bluetooth headphones directly via the Xiaomi TV Box S 4K (2nd Gen) via Bluetooth, only one Bluetooth headphone works at a time. I still have an old splitter which I have unfortunately tried in vain to get to work via a jack. Is there a device that I can connect to the Xiaomi TV Box S 4K (2nd Gen) via Bluetooth in order to connect at least 2 (preferably three) Bluetooth headphones to the device? Goal: It should be possible to connect at least two Bluetooth headphones to the Xiaomi TV Box via an additional device. I asked Mr Google and got the result that the TV Box can only control one Bluetooth headset and this statement " ... Another option is to use a Bluetooth audio splitter , which can also divide the audio signal from your Mi TV to multiple headphones. ...". Note: I don't have a TV with working Bluetooth, so a diversion via the TV is out of the question.
Does anyone have any tips?
Hello,
In my opinion, the question is not asked in the most judicious way, but...
As the Xiaomi has an audio output, anything is possible and if I had to, I would solve the problem by using :
- a multi-input headphone amp, for example like the Behringer HA400 Microamp (price: 23.55 at Musix) which has 4 headphone inputs and (depending on your requirements)
and
- one or more Bluetooth music transmitters like the Marmitek BoomBoom 50 (price 33.95 at Conrad)...
