Mi box h265 10bit direct play

by mattykellyuk

Hi all, first post so hope this is the right place.

I am considering a mi box for my sister in law (so shield is too expensive a gift 😆) to stream from my emby server (similar to Plex). I have recently started moving my video files to 1080p h265 10bit. I have read some bad things about this video format in 4k but I'm not worried about 4k yet.

I recently tried a fire stick which wasn't able to direct play these files due to the 10bit colour. Can anyone who has a mi box confirm these will direct play?

Thanks

i tried the jellyfish-300-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv copied it to my mibox and played back pretty well with mx player. i have no problems playing back jellyfish-120-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv over the network..

Sold my Mi Box, but my SO's plays everything I've thrown at it thus far, be it 1:1 Bluray extractions or 10bit HEVC rips.
