Sadly I'm one those affected, and nothing I tried worked (factory reset, static ip, various router settings), and the box is pretty much useless for my me at this point. So my only hope is a patch, but I didn't see any indication on when I should expect one or that Xiaomi are even working on it.
I've looked in their official pages and couldn't find any mention of the update-related problems of the Mi Box. They haven't replied to my email as well.
Many of it is Oreo specific that affects both Mi Box and Shield. You would need for Google to fix it. I expect when one gets the patch the other will get it very soon afterwards.
Also it's been a week and a half about, so I do hope it is soon. It must be annoying for those with issues.
I haven’t had any issue with Oreo on mibox or shield. Hate the UI tho
Is there a list of known issues anywhere? I may be lucky, so far the only bug I have is that it wont wake from sleep, I have to pull the power from it.
I'm also suffering from a bad update
they need to offer a way to downgrade this pos. now my entire home theater is sitting there collecting dust because of the hdcp 2.2 issue with my hdcp-capable denon receiver. i was waiting for all the bugs to be fixed before updating the thing myself but the mibox devs forced the update without giving me any notification whatsoever
Most of the issues you list is not a Xiaomi problem. Only auto refresh and resolution is a problem.
