Got the update two days ago. Additional changes brought by this update:

  • Google play music is permanently removed, YouTube music is now a built-in app (also shows up on play store & the app row as a separate app)
  • In screen saver, there's now a fourth option called "Mi Wallpaper Carousel".
  • In home screen, there's a new channel called "Mi" (although it's empty)

I installed the update and tried it out today. Seems like the broken/artifacted playback on Netflix and Prime Video plus the sometimes jittery playback on Disney + Hotstar is fixed. Haven't tested with YouTube though, so I can't confirm. All I can say is, freaking finally. It was frustrating having a device meant for video playback that sucked at video playback.

My MiTv stick couldn't download the system update Even I have a very good connection. I recently transferred to Fiber from DSL last month. I have a very good internet download speed. My MiTV stick works fine when I transferred to a new Fiber line. It can update apps but not the system update. I tried restarting it nothing happened. I don't know how to verify my network settings.

Is it the same interface or is it Google tv like update with advertising ? Thank you

With this firmware, i could revive mi mi TV stick unusable since previous update.

First, i will tell that the way i revived it confirmed my suspissions : the previous firmware had bad thermal management or was pushing the hardware out of thermal bound.

First difficulty was to update with thermal issue.

To bypass this issue:

  1. i removed the cover to expose the heatsink (like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrPR-LJpE4w )
  2. i colled the device by putting to contact with heatsink a freeze block
  3. After successfull boot, i reset the device
  4. i made first confuguration in order to allow update
  5. after reboot, i made the update

Now my device is working reliably

I have a mitv stick, when I plug in the adapter, only the light turns on and the Android system does not boot at all. I even did a hard reset, but I have no image at all. No one is helping me
