Hi all, I am currently using a Shield for my primary device in my living room. In the past i considered getting a mibox but did not as I read about various problems with it such as and of 4k in youtube / netflix framrate issue and some other problems with HDR.

However I am now considering a secondary mibox for my bedroom. I will just need the box to be able to:

1. Play 4K/60 for both youtube and netflix, preferably with HDR.
2. Be able to use the plugin to enable my iptv service to be integrated with Live Channels.
3. Able to direct play 15-20mbps h.264/265 1080P videos from my NAS via Plex.

My configuration for said setup would be:

1. Playing on a 2016 Samsung KS7500 TV w/ HDCP 2.2
2. Connected gigabit connection via Wifi AC.
3. Probably will format a 128gb USB as adoptable storage.

With said set up and expectations, what problems might i occur if intend to go with the MiBox MDZ-16-AB? Also, would it be advisable to run the latest MM software or the latest beta Nougat software if i do get the MiBox?

Help much appreciated. Thank you all.

//UPDATE! 9th Sept 2017//

So i went ahead and purchased a MiBox and there are several hits and misses. Received my MiBox and went on to update it to the latest June MM FW.

Hits:

1. Plays Youtube 4k and Netflix 4k somewhat well. There will be a little stutter in the first few seconds but it will smooth out as the video gets buffered sufficiently.
2. Runs my 1080p H.265 15MBps movie files off my Plex server smoothly with no sync issues thankfully. Quite a bit of stuttering with 4k content but I was not holding out on it to do so anyway.
3. Interface is snappy, but not as smooth as my Shield. Hopefully the Nougat update fixes this.

Misses:

1. HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH 5GHZ WIFI. I have a AC router and the damn MiBox refuses to connect, saying that I have put in the wrong password even though I am 100% sure i put in the correct one. Out of every 10 tries, I will successfully connect once but it will disconnect 5 minutes later. I am pissed as I need to connect to the much slower 2.4ghz band.
2. USB Ethernet is really killing me. Since i can't connect to my preferred wifi network and it keeps disconnecting, I decided to go to the hardwired route. It connects fine and with my USB 3.0 Ugreen usb ethernet adapter I get around 220/180Mbps connection, limited by USB2.0. I have a gigabit connection. HOWEVER, whenever i turn my MiBox off, the ethernet connection disconnects and I have to manually disconnect the cable and insert it again to connect ethernet. As such I have since run my MiBox 24/7 which I can't imagine to be good for its health.

If anyone has any tips to circumvent or solve my problems do let me know.
