I remember seeing an email from netflix staff to minix, saying something along the lines of 'we are not interested in working with you guys'
I also recall the minix staff stating, netflix gave them impossible requirements before they can get the certification. one of them being.. first, minix has to sell X amount of devices in the US - which is practically impossible without the netflix certification.

read this in 1 of those android boxes sites I think.. or the minix user forums

found the reference

poor minix, since 2015

Recently I was at my in laws place.. I left my old box there for them to use (modeo s905x 16gb/2gb), flashed with atvxperience.
It still had the old AOTG app that was no longer functioning, so I updated to the latest version.
The app detected that I had Magisk installed and can't run. So I used magisk manager package rename feature, and AOTG couldn't detect magisk anymore and was able to run.
However, similar to the Mi Box S, the channels were unwatchable, too laggy.
Didn't try the chrome method though. I straightaway uninstalled the app.

Is astro ultra box counted as 1 device for astro go? After upgrading to ultra box, I can see it under 'registered devices'

I see. Thanks.

Awesome, this works!

This is a known issue when using Mi Box S.
The solution is to run astro go on chrome in desktop mode.

The mod version works on shield

Same thing happening on nvidia shield 2017 - tested on warner channel (stargirl)
I seldom watch astro go though so I have no idea how long this has been happening.
not using the latest apk, but a mod based on the last one that worked before the hdmi block

bro since you must be well versed in android programming or some sort... out of curiousity, how hard is it to properly mod the newer AOTG apks so that it will not block streaming from hdmi?
AT&T's DIRECTTV is also doing the same thing on their mobile apk (because there's no proper android TV app and people have been using the mobile version), but I read that modders have managed to unblock it, not just change the version like what we are doing here.

Saw this on FB..
a proper ATV Astro go app is coming, I guess?

in 'xbmc kodi malaysia' group
someone got it from email

astro go ATV version apk has been circulated... officially it is only available on certain android tv models, but some people have extracted the apk.
if you have a beta tester account you may want to give it a shot

I don't have a beta tester account to test

there is now an updated astro go ATV apk, no more error when trying to watch on android tv 9 device (such as the mi box s with latest updates applied)

try this solution from the tx3 thread

Even works with Mi Tv Stick. Have to use the 'mod by muse' version.

No lag. AFAIK muse version is the only 1 that fixes the stuttering live channels
