That's awesome! Xiaomi, you're forgiven. I know they were wrong not to bring Nougat or any frequent security updates but this, Oreo for such a cheap device launched almost two years ago... THIS IS FANTASTIC!

And received only a few days or weeks after the powerful Shield TV, it's even more incredible. Congratulations Xiaomi, Mi Box was one of the best investments I ever made.

Mi Box Oreo update.

jasswolf

Can confirm Treble partition is installed with the update.

aryal86

Downloading in Canada. 615.8 MB. Is this real life?

Omnibitent

And here I am still waiting for Oreo on my Shield.

-Zazou-

No auto-framerate ?

GldRush98

Wow. The crazy bastards finally did it. Very glad it wasn't abandoned.

-Zazou-

Same in France, DL in progress.

I have the Mi Box for 1 month and now I got the Oreo update. Amazing! :)

In case anyone was wondering, the update works fine for those who had installed the leaked Nougat betas. DRM intact too.

incrazyboyy

Does it have new features?

TamalDeKiwi

Confirmed it in México as well!! eso es todo carajo!!

Kelteseth

Can confirm update works in Germany :D

Checked for updates, installed here in Argentina, had to re enter wifi password on one of my connections but besides that, it's working great.

First thing I noticed is that now my wireless xbox 360 controller gets properly mapped, light locks on 1 instead of flashing as before. Works on the games gf uses to play (crossy road, pacman 256, thanks gods) but not on Geometry Wars 3 (before I could select level but right stick didn't work, now, it doesn't work at all). Will have to reinstall some emulators to see how it fares there.

Still don't like the new "channels" paradigm, would love to at least get a new "channel" for games below apps...

z0l1

got it in Europe too, bought mine from Italian geekbuying

o_opc

It's about time! This is awesome

clandestinecorp

Can confirm for India

soldflink

I was apprehensive about updating but it seems to have updated fine, required re-entering my wifi password.

veliky

Does the adoptable storage feature finally work now?

iFeIix

The option “HDMI self-adaption” works correctly finally?

kmrdeva

Updated successfully in Malaysia. Finally, DirectTV Now works perfectly through my ExpressVPN tunnel to the US.

molnardk

Just a quick question, with Oreo, is there a permission to write to external drives? (Like HDD or pendrive)? With 6.0 there wasn't any option to write or delete from there.

Baraja

Is this the first device that upgrades from Marshmallow to Oreo officially?

Jashyk

The day is here! Downloading now, i might do a factory reset too just to be super fresh.

klint05

Downloading now here in Australia :D

kanarec

Does the update take 600MB from storage capacity?

brainwashednomore

Anyone have OTA link?

pyroswithoutfire

Hopefully means the long fabled HDR finally works

Hey07

Downloading

Reddukks

Having crow for breakfast this morning. "Your MIBOX3 has been updated to the latest version of Android TV." Everything appears to be working just fine.

AntonioM26

Did someone receive this update when ruining on nougat beta 1560?

Mayer__

Yeah! Both of my Mi Box are updating here in Chile 💕💕💕

outscribe

That's awesome! Can't wait to get it on mine.

GravityDead

Received here too in India. Imported via Aliexpress.

TheJackieTreehorn

Anyone tried Youtube to see if HDR works? I'm assuming not, but it would be excellent.

KopaShamsu9

Finally Its downloading...was waiting ever since I bought my mi box.

irond13

Can confirm Dolby TrueHD (incl Atmos) passthrough now works! Tested with Kodi 17.6. That alone makes the update awesome for me!

moroccan4life

Can confirm, for Canada too. on my Mi Box 3

dosangst

Same here, let the updates begin!

Ausernameneeded

Nice. Downloading now

mannu_in

Yeahhh I got it tooo..bought the box from aliexpress.com

Strayresearch

Anyone else getting the "Couldn't download" ?

A1DR1K

Can confirm, mine updated this morning.

hearthackar

Got in India too

Shadow3210

Yes finally!!!

SlideReadIt
Reddukks

Ok: Two MiBoxen upgraded. Everything went smoothly with both. Didn't have to re-enter WiFi passwords on either. Had to re-pair one of the two remotes. Netflix subscription retained on each. Silicon Dust HDHomeRun app works fine as an app .

The bad news: Not unexpectedly, but disappointing nonetheless: Still no DD+ -> DD transcoding :(

NotBen4Real

Could anyone tell me which of the mi box is receiving this update? I just ordered mine a few days ago, the international version

RazGame

Now recent apps menu won't show at double clicking at O button, where I can find it?

lazdins

Great! I can confirm that a release is available in Latvia (EU) too.

tb21666

Sooo much bloat!

Full disclosure: the install was less painless than my Shield, setup-wise & doesn't have any glitches thus far.

EDIT: the double tap for recents menu isn't working..?

Box has been using adoptive storage since Beta 7.0 924, which is what her box finally updated from today.

lunareth

Anyone is having WiFi disconnecting issues every 3-5 minutes ? I didnt have them on MM.

totodee

Got the Oreo update on my MiBox, didn't like it adding a bunch of unwanted apps like Red Bull TV, Hulu and Pandora. And they are system apps and cannot be uninstalled, only disabled.

AzzX

Refresh rate switching, the settings are there just doesn't do anything.

kanarec

Games are more difficult to access now because they are not in the main screen. They could make one of those horizontal strips for games.

ScrewAttackThis

Woah, I honestly wasn't ever expecting to see an update for this thing. Was there any news leading up to this?

gblandro

Brazil too, 615.8mb, xiaomi rules

Farhanito

Oreo does not seem to like my AVR (denon x1400h).

auto switch best resolution is 480p

no sound at all..

wtf.

trying factory reset now

GerardoHD

KODI dont recognize USB HDD, GTA SA Close upon launch, Spotify got data erased

luiguisf

Just updated a couple of day ago here in Mexico.

victorescu

Is twitch app more stable on the update? It's the main reason I ended up getting a shield.

Luigi_ra

Any way to roll back to MM? I have a lot of codec troubles with perfect player and my IPTV service 😢

o_opc

This update is tripping up some hdcp 2.2 thing on my receiver. Anyone else?

cahillsr

Can't sideload apks with es file Explorer since Oreo update. Unknown sources switch is not listed for sideloaded apks

z0l1

USBs that worked on MM are not working on Oreo for me, anyone having similar issue? I think that both are ntfs

hlpmebldapc

Anyone know what changes from 6.0 to 8.0 with live channels?

I thought I remember back when 7.0 was the latest that we got actual DVR functionality as with live channels.

Dovlaa

still stuck with lollipop on my Philips Android TV...never buying anything from them ever again

timeinreddit

We're you in any beta at all?

kiroseng

And I sold mine last week lol. I guess the update for the Shield is not far behind?

PalebloodSky

As the #1 naysayer lately I have to ask... is this real?

rorymeister

The MiBox got Oreo before the LG G6

jasswolf

Anyone able to confirm the full set of notes displayed there?

Also... Treble? :D

pim312

can i get this when I connect to a VPN in USA?

elister

Factory reset, upgrade to Oreo in 20 minutes. Eh, now I gotta go to work. Will play later.

need2grow10

Hope it does my mi box better than my s8

istehwin

Volume on mi remote now controls tv in ARC. :)

Waggmans

Sooo....

Which (if any) apps support HDR? Netflix? Amazon, Vudu? etc.

Kodi work with HDR?

cdmax2br

Hi, anyone already had test the sixaxis drivers and app with ps3 and ps4 joystick in this new andtoid oreo version ?

RazGame

How to enable PIP ?

tps89

Hello. Is it just me or the right button of a mouse no longer acts as a 'Back' button? Could someone please confirm this? Thank you. :)

glassbase86

Does it fix the boxes with DRM issues I wonder? I have 2 without issue and 1 with the issue. Updating my issue box and see. My guess is not because even the betas didn’t fix it.

Edit - still no DRM on my 1 box 🙄🤷‍♂️

hearthackar

Any working keyboard which can be used with remote? Seems SwiftKey not working with remote

Zaximus20

Anyone else having issues with Kodi being super sluggish and unusable?

kriodoxis
hlpmebldapc
BrLucidDreamer

Received in Brazil, too.

Netflix error persists... :/

ride_si_sapis

RemindMe! 8 hours "check update"

switch_laser

Is this for a specific mibox model?

intranetcomet

Omg

Sirc625

This update actually beat the update for the Nvidia Shield?!!

Bodycount9

Someone post any bugs they find. I won't be home from work until 6:00 PM EST so that's plenty of time to make sure it's ok to update or there's some huge bug that makes it unusable.

phprosperous

Huh, i can't sideload any apks now? There are no options to allow unknown sources anymore? Or is it just me?

terrencewilliams2

guess they decided to release it before trump outright bans them from doing so

hotweiss

For what tv?
