How to use YouTube on MiTV2/ Android box when you cannot login
I am a bit sad when I know that I cannot login to YouTube on MiTV2.
I will missed all my playlist etc. You will get a message as such when you try to login:
This will happen when you are using all the Chinese modified Android version's TV boxes or even TV. There is a way to install Google Play Store. If not wrong, it requires rooting of the Android device. Thus, I am a bit reluctant to do so.
BUT, thanks for google's effort in app development.
There is a simple way to work around using Miracast & Pairing the connected TV.
Steps:
- Of course, side load YouTube Google TV apk onto your SmartTV first.
- On TV, open YouTube -- click menu button on the TV remote OR go to the option menu on bottom left of TV screen
- Choose the "Pair with mobile device" option - You will see a special CODE displayed on TV
- On the smartphone, open the Youtube App.
- For Android, click on top right button for setting. For iOS, Setting is in the menu in top left button.
- Choose "Connected TV" (Top = iOS; Bottom =Android)
- Choose "ADD TV"
- Enter the CODE displayed on TV
- DONE. If you want to change the name of the TV in your YouTube app, choose the EDIT TV option below ADD TV.
- Now to Enjoy:
- Open YouTube on TV
- On phone, open YouTube
- Activate miracast (a square shape with 3 waves) [Same for iOS]
- Choose the playlist or video you want to show on TV
- Click play, You will have option to:
- Play now OR
- Add to Queue
- You can then do whatever else with your phone. The queue/ playlist has been sent and store in TV
Cheers!!
