IIRC, agent fee is FOC only for "Buy for me" option. If you choose "Ship for me", I think agent fee still applies.

I can't remember which one. I also bought something and they charge me agent fee. When I ask them, think only "Buy for me" option no agent fee.

THank you pspeter for the video. I am so happy to see many gurus sharing their experience and "know-how". Does that mean when the FW is 1.1.70 then the YouTube will be all good?

Yes, YouTube not laggy, can root somemore~

I just tried. Did exactly like what you show. But for reboot part, I select the System 2. But then it went back to Recovery. Then this time round System 2 show (Recent).

So I select System 1. TV rebooted and the firmware is still 1.1.82 (Stable) and the TV language is back to Chinese.

When I try to connect to Wifi .... don't know why the screen doesn't allow me to type anything. So I can't connect to Wifi now.

Has anyone problems with Samba (SMB) sharig on the TV lately?
I can acces my SMB-Folder (created by my router, Xiaomi Mini) manually, but the Videoplayer doesn't list any conntent anymore.
Probably also a problem of the new Firmware, but maybe I'm just missing a setting here...

Ok. I tried many times, still cannot revert back to 1.1.70 (Stable).

Anyway, I use the Shafa market method - Yes. It worked, I managed to switch the language to English again.

As for the Wifi part, just make sure that the keyboard input option is set to "Mi Input", it should be ok.

The unfortunate thing happens just now. Was watching the video on YouTube and don't know why the TV suddenly rebooted. It take pretty long.

After rebooting, I checked .... and crap .... the firmware was upgraded to 1.1.92 (Stable). *sigh*

you forgot to set Intelligent update to No...

your case is strange, last time when I want to reboot to the other system, it cannnot boot then boot back to recovery; so I thought mine is default 1.1.70, so the other system is empty...

anyway actually fw 1.1.92 got other good feature also like:
1. can create folder in home screen,
2. can move system apps now;
3. improve video player and new quick setting for home long press shortcut (you can't change tv setting in app, especially for Kodi in previous version);

Did any of you managed to use this method to install Google PlayStore on your Mi TV?

not working for mi tv, showed connection problem when try to log in...
trying other method...

 

[i1magic]

you forgot to set Intelligent update to No...

3. improve video player and new quick setting for home long press shortcut (you can't change tv setting in app, especially for Kodi in previous version);

No lah, I can be on 1.1.82 (Stable) for so long, of course I always disable "Intelligent update" lah. But this time round, I really don't know what happened.

But you said that YouTube playback is very smooth on 1.1.70 correct? That is what I want leh.

 

[i1magic]

not working for mi tv, showed connection problem when try to log in...

Same here too. I couldn't get Play Store to work on Mi TV so far.

Does your videoplayer app detect files vianetwork? Mine only detects directly plugged into TVs USB devices

For Kodi: Which version are you using? I noticed that the current Jarvis Version doesn't make full use of the soundbar. It only outputs 2.0, not DTS or Dolby Digital or AC3 like the Xiaomi Videoplayer App... So if you have any good settings for Kodi with soundbar, please let me know

I can see my pc name via network from video player but never try to play any thing yet, let me try first and update to you later...

for Kodi I am not sure if the soundbar output surround sound or not, but what I know is CAN'T set "passthrough" on! crazy sound... scary... other setting not try yet as built in really very nice to use...

 

[Uno_Hu]

I've been wondering if the sound bar (MiTV3) can by-pass and go direct to the input of the AVR

 

[pspeter]

who is buying mitv 3? wish to see it here in SG

 

[mazzel]

@pspeter:
I also can see my SMB device in the "device" list, but when I switch to the "Video" tab, no files are shown. In older Firmwares (anything before 1.1.92), all videos on my USB-Drive (connected to my router) were shown

@i1magic and everyone with google play issues:
Did you try the "Google Installer" App yet? I guess Xiaomi-TVs have the same issus like Xiaomi-Phones with Chinese MIUI Versions. The Google-Framework is NOT pre-installed. Therefore you need the google framework first.
On my Mi3 Phone (and all the newer Phones my colleagues bought, like Mi Note Pro) with Chinese Firmware, this app is needed:
http://www.mz6.net/soft/15814.html
Direct link to the App:
http://down.mz6.net/file/2014/12-01/com.forfun.ericxiang.apk
The icon should be something like a red box with the Google "g" and an Android-Head.
This App installs the Google-Frame work. In te App itself you can choose the Google Apps you need (like, play store, maps, calender and so on). Probably you need to connect a mouse again to click it.

P.s.: I didn't try this yet, as I'm in China and all Google Apps are blocked (on my Phone I have a VPN, but not on TV). But I guess this is the issues, as the TV also is somehow based on "MIUI". At least it's worth a try.

P.p.s: The App doesn't provide the latest version of the Google Apps, so it might take some time after you started the Play Store to update itself to the newest version...
