Hi guys! After 2303 update my MiBox won't turn on after standby even spamming the remote back button several times (this trick worked on the previous builds when it wouldn't turn on by pressing the power button) and I have to unplug the power cable to be able to turn it on. I'm having the same issue with 2179 build that I flashed following the guide posted here by u/koshergoy

So, I would like to roll back to Build 2174 that was the most stable to me but I can't find the image of that build. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Used to use Pure VPN for watching iPlayer. Looks like you can only watch it with Windows and Mac now. Don't understand why this is case but tried today and failed - contacted their support who say it's 50/50 chance of working.

Hi guys,

​

Did you ever get lost when you wanted to buy an android box on aliexpress? I made a top ten android boxes that you can buy from China. I only put boxes I have used myself on the list.

​

I have worked with android boxes for over 5 years and have used over 30 different models. Feel free to ask any question about any model and i will try to help you as well as i can.

Hello, I 'm experiencing sudden video lags/freezes when i' m using mubi. My mi box is new so I don't have any experience with android 6. Do you also experience it? Do you have any ideas why is it happening? It doesn't happen on my pc or on my phone, only on mi box and in every resolution I have tried, from 576 up to 4k. Thanks!

Hey guys!

I just got a XiaoMi International MiBox 3 two days ago and today I started having problems with video playing from various apps like Youtube or Netflix. The audio seems to play a wee bit faster than the video. I did some googling and I guess this is a pretty common issue. Found some solutions like rebooting or factory resetting but it seems like they are only short term solutions. This is really frustrating :/ Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hello there,

​

I just received a set-top box from my ISP (Bouygues Telecom in France). It runs AndroidTV pretty smoothly. I've been able to configure Live Channels on it with my m3u playlist but the hardware seems to be struggling (it stutters). I've been though noticing that the video quality was far superior to the mi Box Oreo that I'm also using. My mi box doesn't struggle with Live Channels but the video quality seems inferior.

How come does this ISP box have a better "tv feel" than the Mi box ? Is it possible to add this "tv feel" to the Mi Box ?

​

Thanks.

Edit : typo.

Need help getting Starz to work on mecool box

I noticed the standard Android app (with casting) and the Apple TV and Roku apps are out- I'm wondering if there's going to be an Android TV version of the app?

Right now it is pretty lean on content but eventually I'll probably try it out for a month. I suspect the PQ/AQ won't be great either- probably too much to expect 5.1?

After the 2303 update my box is pretty much useless after sleep. It's so slow that I can't use it unless I reboot it. After a reboot it's snappy again.

It's getting very frustrating having to reboot my box everytime I'm gonna use it.

Anyone have the same experience after the 2303 update?

It was fine before the update.

I need a box to play 4k files with Dolby atmos/ DTS X through my denon avr. My budget is $100. Please help .

Hi,

I have a Mi Box Android TV, and I want to track the state of this device to integrate it to my home automation system.

What I want to acheive is to see whether the device is ON or OFF/Sleep. I have tried pinging the device, which doesn't work because the device comes online even when it is sleeping.

My next idea was to find an app which would broadcast a message somehow. Like an app that always runs in the background, and when you sleep the device the broadcasted message will disappear.

Is there an app like this?

Thank you!

The other day I tried the Recording feature on my Nvidia Shield and to my surprise it gave excellent video and audio quality, almost identical to the source. Assuming I have lots of space of my shield if I start recording is there a limit on the size of the recording or a time limit?

Also is there anyway to activate and stop the recording automatically somehow? What if I'm rooted? Any commands through shell?

As many of you knows, the androidTV app is just a mess and it's missing basic features that even the normal android version has, like resuming playback from last position on Vods, something terribly useful when we look at 10-13 hours Vods as you can imagine. Do you know any substitute app I can use that has this feature? Thank you.

Hello!

​

I have 4 Xiaomi Mi boxes that I use around the house.

​

Two of them happen to run almost 12 hours a day streaming TV.

​

I am taking the DVB-T signal from my aerial, passing it through TVHeadend on a Linux box and streaming it over WiFi to the Mi boxes that have the AndroidTV TVHeadend app running. I used to use MuMuDVB on the Linux box and TVirl on the MI boxes and had the same problem.

​

Quite frequently, the two almost constant running Mi boxes hang. Sometimes I can exit the Live Channels APP, but most of the times the boxes are unresponsive and I have to unplug the power.

​

It is quite hot here and I thought that was the reason. I took a 12v 120mm computer fan and replaced the plug with a USB one. I have the fan underneath one of the boxes running constantly (at lower rpm due to the 5v). It seems like it sometimes helps and sometimes it doesn't. It still hangs in random moments, usually after hours of streaming.

​

Has anyone had any similar problems? Any ideas on how to diagnose? Main culprits in my mind are either overheating, some sort of memory leak or overflow or connectivity issues that cause the Live Channels APP to hang. It only seems to happen after 6-8 + hours but I have also left it on for 30+ hours to test without it hanging.

So before I am going to buy the Xiaomi Mi Box... Can I buy like a Micro SD card to increase the capacity of the device? The device is only 8 gigabytes and I don't think that's sufficient for me. I am not going to be gaming or anything on the device. I am just going to be watching stuffs on Kodi, Netflix and perhaps something more in the future.

Hello. I have a 55" Vizio 4K TV, pretty low end model. About 18 months ago or so I picked up a Xiaomi Mi Box from Wal-Mart for $70 and while it seemed to work really well, the one area that didn't work at all was Google Cast videos (which is my common use case). Video would be in slow motion and audio never matched the video (extreme latency). I messed around with many settings but could never get it to work.

has anyone got a MiBox on a Vizio 4K TV? How is Google Cast functionality?
