Xiaomi TV Discussion Thread V [consolidated]

I just received my 55” MiTV. Anyone knows how to access windows 10 smb? I tried to add using default media player and Kodi but both failed.. the media player does not have “add device” option unlike the mibox.

I think previously minihelpers is the cheapest. Who you got from now?

I think they changed the price from $69.90 to $89.90 since yesterday

Yup cos cheap and its new global set launched on april 2020 so consider quite new i personally dont want to go over $1000 (ordered 65inch 4s on qoo10 at $788 after $50 off voucher vs $1588 65 inch tv5) for a television.

And Tv5 pro i think is Chinese set, which i believe can change language and etc afterwards. Not sure about netflix capabilities though.

About the specs i think not much difference only with bigger ram and storage only which normally people watch tv don't really need ram or storage much.

Yes I have that in place and also now successfully able to access smb drives from Kodi after entering the direct paths. It’s better to use the default gallery and Dlna media player to access pictures and video in my computers. Is there any hidden switch to enable the “add device” option?

install file manager, such as es file explorer.

i think the seller still get the full selling price less their site rental/or sale commission to qoo10, the voucher is given by qoo10 i think? like grabcar i have $5 off but doesnt affect the driver he still earn his normal fare because he is already paying 20% commission.

both are same seller with the same person behind replying those Q&A, ask forum member; Champion.. we ordered together around 3 weeks ago... and keep on kena snook by the sellers be it mijia roborock or minishoppers.

if u check their shop info, they have same company address and it was discussed in this forum earlier that maybe by having separated companies, chance to lower down bad ratings, or even warranty responsibility can also be cut by half.
