Xiaomi MiBox3 lost 4K support in YouTube, Netflix.

I noticed last week that YouTube could not stream content in 4K anymore. I turned on debugging information, it shows the optimal resolution for a 4K video as 1920x1080 (was 3840x2160). I tried Netflix too. Same result.

Did this happen to anyone else?

1080p @ 60fps is also gone. Worst of all, occasional stutters in 720p 60fps are back with the Mi Box.

For the life of the Mi Box this has come and gone. I used to think it came and went with updates to the Mi Box's firmware, but now I realize it happens because of something that changes on google's back end that affects how that August 2016 version of the Youtube app interacts with the Mi Box.

just noticed it happened with my Netflix too. wth.

Edit: hard reset from the power cable fixed it.

My Mibox runs like trash now. Constantly stutters when watching an HD video. Honestly not sure what to do
