Need help with Mi Box

by Vishal_Nikam

I bought a Mi Box 4K around a couple months back and a few days ago, it received a system update. Since then, I am not able to cast any of my android devices or even the laptop onto it. It's connected to the same WiFi as my other devices. I tried uninstalling the updates of the Chromecast service app and updating it again, clearing its cache and data, force stopping it, even reset my Mi Box. But it still doesn't show up when I select cast on my phone. Even the cast icon doesn't show up when I'm playing a video on YouTube on my phone. I even tried using the Google Home app and it doesn't show the Mi Box when I'm trying to add a new device.

It is running Android TV version 9 and the Build says PI.2696 release-keys.

How can I solve this?

Thanks!

Check if you are getting ipv6 IPs. I have seen issues with casting when both your laptop and Mi Box get ipv6 IPs.

Make sure your router has something called "Short GI" turned off, if it's off then it's your ISP having issues with the feature since I'm running the same problem, it goes back and forth, also try to use an access point connected to your router, turn off the wireless signal of the router and check if it works with that access point.

Delete the chromecast app cache content and reboot the box.
