Mi Box Google Cast issues

by dcdevito

I tried 3 Mi Boxes and all had issues streaming videos via Google Cast. 4K, 1080p, 720p videos all had audio and video sync issues. 4K and 1080p were so bad the video would play in slow motion. I returned it, and tried two other boxes, all had the same issue.

I have a Vizio 55" 4K TV. It's so disappointing, the Mi Box worked well otherwise. I installed the firmware update on each also, but did not fix the issue. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Some background info. I've tried casting from a Nexus 6, 6P and Moto X, same issue. My internet speeds range in the 300-350mbps download, 5-10upload. This was around the first week of October, don't know if Google Cast has had an update since then.

I've reported this issue and support stated it should be resolved in an upcoming update.

I still cast to my old Chromecast because the casting is so bad on my mibox. If you plan on casting alot, it's worth getting a Chromecast. I hope the updated improve it, but it would need to be pretty significant.

I had the same exact issues. Ordered a Chromecast Ultra and Google updates it and also gives legit offers all the time thing will pay for itself.

Just bought a Mi Box and it is experiencing the same Cast issues. Yellow/green shadows show up and there is an audio lag...

Any thoughts or updates on a fix?

Yeah I don't think they will ever fix it. Their support is so shady ingot more info from Reddit. I honestly use gcast every day as a cordcutter so it's the most important factor for me, so I returned it. So disappointing. The device has so much potential.
