Guys, for the international version Is there a way to restart the box without unplug the power? Also, do you need to get the official mibox Ethernet adapter to get LAN working? Tried with some USB Ethernet adapter I have but non are working

QUOTE(kmrdeva @ Sep 23 2017, 08:01 PM) I hold down the power button on the remote to get reboot option on screen. My orico brand usb3 gigabit ethernet dongle works fine. Maybe the ones you tested are not compatible? Is there a list of compatible gigabit Ethernet dongle? Also, yours is the international version right? Does it it get detected immediately or needs a reboot? This post has been edited by alucard89: Sep 23 2017, 08:09 PM

I just checked again, apparently USB port disabled when USB debugging enabled After debugging disabled, USB rj45 is detected now I thought USB port not working for a while there since it didn't even detect my USB drives

QUOTE(mushroom0320 @ Nov 25 2017, 05:13 PM) Hi all, Just wish to ask. I have a lot of downloaded video. Can mi box play it from thumb drive or hard disc ? If you just wanna play videos from external drives, go for other cheaper android boxes, they're more than capable enough But if you wanna experience official android tv also, then this box is the cheapest one you can find.

QUOTE(frequency @ Dec 8 2017, 03:47 PM) After 1 week with mibox3 int version 1) Installed Sofa App (cool, you can access from home screen) - Install MoreTv many movies for watching 2) Installed Set Orientation and tweaked , and astro on the go works good now. What need now, is USB to RJ45, USB mouse and plug in my 1TB removable hardisk with it hmmm i saw lots USB to RJ45 + 3 USB port on lazada, any compatible issue? Any generic usb to rj45 would work I guess I had like 3 of those gigabit to usb from different brand at home and they all work

QUOTE(mikeeeee @ Dec 16 2017, 03:17 PM) How much does it cost to subscribe Netflix , Hulu and also smartdns? Those sellers at garage sales can provide really cheap price, since they're shared account i think I went from just using hulu, to using others like directv, hbogo, wwe network & expressvpn

QUOTE(niakulah @ Dec 21 2017, 11:27 AM) Anyone using their Mi Box with Logitech Harmony Hub? I finally had the time to add my Mi Box to my Harmony last night, and it has trouble turning the Mi Box off. When I press the off button (on my Logitech remote), my TV and HT turn off correctly as normal. I also see the white light on the Mi Box blinking once, so I guess it received the signal, it just doesn't turn itself off. Then when I turn on everything again, the white light on the Mi Box turns off for a while, then turns back on. So functionally, I can use my Mi Box when I want to. It's just that I want to fix the power off if I can. I don't want it to die early just because I never turn it off. Maybe you could try adding it as Nexus player? http://mcgruck.com/2017/04/10/using-logite...oth-and-ir/?i=1

QUOTE(niakulah @ Dec 22 2017, 11:09 AM) Thanks, but I figured it out. It's my TV's CEC. So the Harmony turns off my TV first, which turns off the Mi Box, and a split second later Harmony sends a power toggle to the Mi Box which turns it back on, hence the blinking white light. Set the Harmony to never turn off the Mi Box and all OK now. Oh, so basically double power toggle command Would be great if Logitech introduce another remote with mike to use with google assistance or alexa

QUOTE(ugly_killjoy @ Dec 25 2017, 09:56 PM) alright thanks for the info. not sure yet what is the best version for me bcos i'm just need media player that can play movie on my tv, not really into streaming services. If you just need for usb movie playback, any cheap Android box would do like X96. Got a lot of options now compared to few years ago when the only option available was expensive players like dvico tvix, popcorn hour etc.

QUOTE(kucuboy @ Dec 28 2017, 04:32 PM) When I first bought it last year, I spent slightly more than RM400 for it to ship to MY. It served me very well and is worth it. However this month I upgraded to Nvidia Shield because I will turn the Shield into my Smart Home hub (control all the sensors and smart home stuff). The mi box is a solid android box for streaming content and playing the occasional game or two on it. I have helped set up several friend and family mi boxes for them too and all working flawlessly. Smart hub function still online when nvidia shield on standby? I'm still waiting for my smartthings usb to arrive

QUOTE(kmrdeva @ Dec 31 2017, 07:17 PM) I’ve used a thumb drive on the USB port before, most but not all apps can be moved to external storage. It makes the mibox feel a bit slow though since the port is only usb 2.0. Anyway, I’ve removed the thumb drive and now only keep a few apps installed on internal storage. YouTube, Netflix, iFlix, Kodi, Spotify and about 4 games. Waiting for my Nvidia Shield TV to come. Got it at rm800 for the 2017 16GB model. Is that price with the controller?

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jan 5 2018, 09:27 AM) I think most but don't expect much. The quality and smoothness is not even half off the quality and smoothness from Netflix. Haha, of course can't really compare with netflix quality wise As long as got channels that I subscribed, you can view all channels package that you subscribed right?
