Has anyone managed to get HDR content on Netflix on the Mibox 3? 4k plays fine after the latest Oreo update (fix), but the HDR tag is not even showing. The weird thing is that on other apps like Plex it's working great.

Confirm you are subscribed to their HDR/UHD service..correct? Also atm Netflix is pretty limited on HDR content.
UHD Netflix subscription? Have you enabled 10 bit in video settings on the Mi Box? Not much HDR material, but try "Reversing Roe"
HDR works fine in Netflix on Mi Box with Oreo provided that:
- You have a Netflix plan that includes HDR (basically the top tier)
- Your Mi Box is connected directly to the TV or to an AVR which correctly manages HDR signals (this can be tricky)
- The TV might need to have an "HDMI enhanced" mode or something. Some TVs only enable the full bandwidth of the HDMI ports if you set them so (usually under the system settings menu) - it might be turned off by default to preserve compatibility with older HDMI devices
- Under Mi Box settings, Display, Resolution, you have the Color Space set to 10 bit (if you only see 8 bit there's something that's preventing the HDR output)
- You have a compatible HDMI cable (the one provided with the Mi Box should be fine)
- And, of course, you're trying to play HDR content (there's Meridian which is available in both HDR and SDR and it's basically a benchmark for your HDR tv, there's Chef's Table, Marco Polo, Stranger Things and so on)
These are all the settings that I think matter, make sure you check them all
