News? Does the beta work well? Possible release date?
My main question is. all of those that had issues with netflix, with their miboxes, showing HDCP unprotected, that changed HDMI cables and changed TVs and nothing always unprotected, and always got the error message in netflix after 20seconds......... With the nougat update it gets resolved or not?
Tired of waiting for the OTA Nougat I took the plunge and loaded the beta. Update as per process and after reboot....no picture (I hear Gui sounds, see network traffic over the LAN adaptor) reflashed - same, clear cache - same, factory reset - same....
Hooked the box to another setup (Mibox-Sony AVR-Sony TV) and got the message "connect to a device that supports HDCP 2.2"
Good clue - hooked the Mibox directly to the TV and all is sweet. Other setup had HDMI going through a soundbar so had to change that.
Lesson - the first leaked Beta has problems with HDCP when passing through another HDCP 2.2 compatible device. Not sure if that has been fixed in later beta's but couldn't hurt for one of the Beta testers to test and feedback to Xiaomi if not resolved.
As far as I know there are no other leaked Beta's or OTA's that can be applied??
thnx
Does anyone know if there is any news on this? Release if any? Seems like it wont happen. I think Im just going to spend the big money and get an Nvidia Shield TV.
New update 1035 :
Observations:
HD Netflix with 5.1 Audio works (I have a DD+ capable TV) 5.1 AC3 Passthrough in Kodi Krypton works No Kodi dynamic refresh switching disappointingly. Nougat is at least 2X faster than Marshmallow - the remote is now ultra responsive Smile Apparently 4K HDR Netflix works - I have only tested 4K but not HDR. Casting H264 video seems improved (apart from Youtube)
And one last time: WARNING - this Beta Firmware will break all Youtube playback. All credit goes to wrxtasy who posted the above on the kodi.tv forums and I am just reposting
Beta is great, been running it for 2 months. It's at least better than the official Marshmallow. I typically use Netflix, YouTube, Kodi, X-plore, Spotify, Google Cast, and RetroArch. Not really much else.
No clue when it'll ever get officially released.
