MDZ-16-AB Xiaomi Mi Tv Box - Netflix finally works

by ukralibre

I am not sure what helped so i list everything i did

  1. The latest android tv update

  2. Cut off the power, press (back + OK) on the remote + power on. Box will boot into recovery mode. Find the "format cache partition", select it, reboot.

  3. Set the resolution that is native to your TV in the box display settings

  4. Use the recommended usb 3.0 gigabit ethernet stick, preferably powered one. 5E/6 category cables and gigabit ethernet switch/router. Unpowered works too. Gives up to 250 mbit/s. Give up the wifi, 5Ghz chips tend to fry fast, gives less speed anyway

Bonus: If you want the Amazon Prime - install it using ES File Explorer via net or usb. In security settings allow the "unknown sources". Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/5nw302/amazon_video_extracted_from_gen_2/

Looks like this baby is great if you know how to make it work

DO NOT install ES File Explorer - worst File Manager you can use for Android TV devices and known to cause all sorts of weird issues.

That ES Explorer App is nothing but Adware, Bloatware, Spyware now. Use X-Plore File manager instead. :-)

Your title days Netflix but the post seems to be about Prime. Is it two topics or an accidental typo in the title?

I'm pretty sure that Amazon Prime still doesn't work. I've tried that one before. It loads, but you can't actually stream anything except trailers, everything else gives an error.
