Hi peeps, newbie here on mibox 4.
I am planning to get this to play all my movies via USB as currently movie subs are not playable on my sharp tv after software update to version 7.0.  sad.gif

Anything else this box can do? (Stream movies, watch live sports via iptv and etc)
*
play games

Same bro, this mibox is getting old, cant handle 4k@60hz. I hope they release more powerful box soon or I'll have to spend on nvidia shield.
At 4k@60hz HDR on, always out of sync audio + random reboot (overheat?) and also laggy inside out. 1080P and below work fine without reboot or audio problem.
maybe I'm over exaggerating but it is not smooth for sure

look like the 6.0.1 have some issue with youtube, they fix it on several update while still on Android 6. i think if u guys update now will directly get Oreo.
im on Oreo and dont face any issue.

Apps i currently have , installed myself
1. Vudu
2. Movies Anywhere
3. NBC
4. AMC
5. Fandango Now (failed to play UHD) only HD
6. etc...
*
i've been following this thread and it sounds like Oreo still have some issues...minor ones ?

and btw...my youtube hangs/freezes....not stuttering...totally can't continue

sometimes its not smart enough.
some apps not optimise cooding very well and start to hang.
then only way to solve this is just to kill the apps and start it again.

even windows, linux os still have this problem.
*
i agree...for example my youtube freezes sometimes and i have to wait for a long time before it gets kill off by itself before i can launch it again

or i can just do reboot which i dislike

so the option to end / kill / stop apps is a must for me

My only concern is if its really ori global version. Supposedly Mi Box global version is MDZ-16-AB and Mi Box S is MDZ-22-AB.
*
MDZ-22-AB is original global version with newer firmware

Folks, just checking how this thing actually works, sound settings-->DTS percentage. How to choose the correct percentage? Any idea?

Thanks.

Coming from minix-u9h, mibox s is a very capable & affordable box if your usage is only for streaming. e.g. netflix, iflix, youtube, iptv, etc. Expressvpn works fine too.

Should've bought this box earlier.
*
good to hear this from user who has other tv boxes for comparison

to me mibox does the jobs pretty well for my own usage, i don't play games on tv box hence nvidia is not required...and i am not fussy on those sounds system (DTS and whatnot)

Second to this as well.  thumbup.gif Only thing I don't understand in some similar LYN forums complains about KODI not working and etc...I don't find any issues at all even 4K movies runs pretty good with my 100MB subscription.  confused.gif

only few possibilities i can think of kodi issues on mibox:
- insufficient storage due to many redundant apks installed
- users dunno how to use
- lemon unit
- face problem

kodi 18 works fine on my mibox S
