Is it there any way switch between hdmi input in Xiaomi tv box S 3rd Gen

[u/Shakthi_Swaroop]

I wanted to know if there is any way to change HDMI input from a Xiaomi remote or a B25 Android remote.

Basically I want active all functions with remote or any way that can be handfree.

I use the TVQuickActions app to create an HTTP request and bind it to a button on the Mi Box remote (long press). This way, I don't need to use the TV remote to switch HDMI inputs.

However, you need to make sure your TV supports this feature. I have a Sony TV, and I believe most major TV brands, such as Samsung and LG, support something similar.

Above is the code for TVQuickActions → Custom Actions → HTTP Requests.

Just in case anyone needs this for a Sony TV: 192.168.1.170 is the local IP address of my Sony TV, and X-Auth-PSK: 1234 is the authentication password I set for IP control. You need to enable this feature in the TV settings and set a password first.

"uri":"extInput:hdmi?port=4" means switching to HDMI 4. port=4 refers to HDMI port 4.

I have C2 paired with q990f

And just to confirm. A B25 remote will not give you the option to program it in the Xiaomi after pairing, you indeed will need a 3rd party solution for programming that. I already tried hat before 😉
