most android tv come with netflix, youtube. if you are using a third parties iptv then u need to check if your tv app can support
their playlist.
Those who already have a playlist would need to know how to setup the iptv app
PM me if you need help. will try to help you as much as i can

A USB Hub
Cheap, simple solution

Note: avoid the very cheap ones, questionable quality

Probably would work?
For stuff like YouTube
For Netflix or other content with DRM, no idea if the screen supports DRM protected content

Also, you should probably power it from a cigarette/accessory socket car charger, since the USB ports built into car players are usually only expected to power a low power USB drive, not a tv stick

My thread is still alive biggrin.gif

More than 2 years on, my Mi Stick is starting to give hiccups. Netflix and Disney/Hotstar is slow to start at times, and likes to exit to main screen sometimes. When its OK, its OK. When its not, then it keeps quitting or slow loading. Sometimes need to restart a few times.

Today was even better, it connected to my router but says no internet. I had to turn on and off the wifi a few times before it was ok.

Any suggestions? Or is it one leg in the grave?

As it turns out, the wifi issue is caused by a new router. Seems its pretty common, you can google "Mi Stick connected but no internet". Got to fiddle with the wifi channel settings on the router.

I'm using HBO Go lately, working fine too lol. I think netflix needs to clear data or reinstall

Why buy tv stick or tv box. Now a day most house hold have got smart tv.
Just buy a smart tv android or google tv.

With a smart tv you have what a tv box or stick bring to you all within the tv
