  I got one last time it was on sale and have been pretty underwhelmed. I should've researched, but it doesn't allow Plex to pass through DTS to my amp and HEVC playback is sketchy at best :/
  I know other apps handle it, but I really like Plex for it's clean interface and artwork/info handling. I really wanted to like it, but it's not for me. YMMV.

      @northernculture:
      
      superior Kodi experience vs WDTV
      less laggy
      doesn't forget where you stopped movie/show when you turn it off
      can download subtitles when you play a movie/show
      5Ghz and more stable wifi
      4K
      etc
      
      Though my WDTV does DTSX and Atmos passthrough, haven't tried with Kodi on this box yet.

    Thanks, seems similar to just using chromecast to cast mobile apps though, definitely might still bite on this if it gets cheaper in the future, it's not that much more expensive than the chromecast

      its better than chromecast because of the apps can access your smb folders plus kodi
      
      in saying that, kodi add-on third parties are shutting down one by one. if your intention is for streaming, you may want to rethink this option.

    - t3chshopper on 08/06/2017 - 21:11
      
      I don't know what features the WD Live TV has. But this Mi box (I've had mine for months) can play Netflix, YouTube, and via Kodi or VLC can play anything on my network or plugged in via USB. And with a little remote with microphone, the voice search works pretty well.

    - redcreek200 on 08/06/2017 - 21:23
      
      @t3chshopper:
      What's the remote like for watching movies from your own network ? No issues ?
      
      Only ask because I had a generic android box and it was impossible. To pause for instance, I had to hit a button to bring up the on-screen controls, then navigate to them to pause, whatever.
    - yht on 08/06/2017 - 21:30

      @yht: If you install Kodi, you don't need VLC as Kodi can play almost every format and has a better interface and search, or you can also use Plex as well.

      @jominix:Ok, the storage capacity of it is only 8gb and obviously we can install any android apps there until they updates all the time like in android phone before it runs out space. Is it how it works? Sorry asking a lot of question as I never have it and wants to be sure it can play iso file via wifi.

      To pause for instance, I had to hit a button to bring up the on-screen controls,
      
      Sounds like you are talking about Kodi. The default config seems to assume you have a play/pause button on the remote, but the Mi does not.
      
      You can remap the keys quite easily to get a 1-button pause. See the whirlpool thread.
    - t3chshopper on 09/06/2017 - 07:57

      People just get your generic inbound adapted (EU in to AU out) but I don't like skimping on electronics so went with something from JB and it works fine. Voltage is same as Aussie so won't need a transformer.

      If you mean CCTV etc. Yes, some streaming software can do that and the content is free to watch. If you mean watching TV program in youku, tudou etc, there are some copyright restriction unless you setup the VPN. That should be applied to any of your device in Australia.
