Going to consolidate all the issues with Mi TV 4 Pro (should apply to Mi TV 4a Pro and Mi TV 4c Pro too) here in one place to make it easier to keep track of.Hardware Issues / Limitations:No hardware mute button.No hardware input button.No HDMI 2.0 support.All ports are in the rear of the TV. If TV is wall mounted using a standard mount then it's very difficult to access the ports. You will need to remove the TV from the mount to do so.No easy way to put the TV in standby mode. See below for solution.Software Issues / Limitations:No Netflix support out of the box. Casting via Chromecast built-in works.No Amazon Prime Video support. See below for solution.When Chromecast built-in Ambient mode is on and you try casting to the TV, the content plays but the Ambient mode doesn't close. Hence you can't watch the casted content. You need to go to the Android TV / Patchwall home screen and then cast the content again.Not possible to mute TV using Google Assistant. See below for solution.Not possible to change input sources using Google Assistant. See below for solution.Voice commands only work while online.When coming out of standby mode, sometime there is no volume on the TV. Need to power down the TV and power it back on to get it working again.Google Assistant on other devices (smart phones / smart speakers) will respond to commands related to the TV but won't actually perform any action. For example, after saying Hey Google, play Girls Like You by Maroon 5 on my TV, Google Assistant will respond and say Okay. Playing Girls Like You by Maroon 5 on TV but nothing happens. For me on the Mi LED TV 4 Pro, this happened after the OPM1.171019.011.1011 system update.Solutions:Go into standby modeUsing Google Assistant - Say Hey Google, switch off my TV / Hey Google, switch on my TV.Amazon Prime VideoUntil Mi officially supports the app, please visit the following link to download and side-load the apk.https://toengel.net/philipsblog/ ... odellen-verfuegbar/Link to v4.8.69 is at the bottom of the page.Use a file manager such as FX File Explorer (though you need the FX File Explorer (Plus License Key) to use FX Connect to easily access files from your phone) to install the apk directly.Easily mute / unmute your TVUsing Google Assistant - Say Hey Google, mute my TV / Hey Google, unmute my TV.Easily change input sourcesUsing Google Assistant - Say Hey Google, switch to HDMI 1.Using Mi Smart Remote - When connect to any input source, press the center D-pad button on the Mi Smart Remote.
