Nice, how is the x-ray feature on the android tv interface? would it be too intrusive and can that be turned off?
*
Hi. Sorry I not sure what you mean of x-ray feature.

Edit: Your mean this ? - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnet.com/g...ows-and-movies/

I didn't seen this, I think it only appear when pause the movie. Google Play Movie also added such function recently and it only show when you pause the movie.

guys, can u sideload these apps on ur mi box ( android TV)
- astro on the go
- iflix
- unifi tv
*
Yes but Astro Go & Unifi TV required mouse for navigation and also third party side launcher to view it as it is not Android TV apps.

iFlix can direct install from playstore as it is Android TV apps.

Hi all, if i switch off the mibox by using the power button on the remote, but leave the power switch connected to the mibox on, is this considered complete power off? I'm a bit worried if the box is somehow still running and will shorten its lifespan.

Btw, zekaisi store on Lazada is selling Mibox international version at around RM240 (previouly 289) before code discount. FYI for those who wish to get one.
*
It is on standby mode only and sometimes it get wake up by it own.

I always off the power switch after power off by remote.

Thanks a lot Xiaomi finally give us a more capable device. A lot improvement in Android TV 8.0 Oreo.
  • New Home Interface - this new interface is much awesome and cool.
  • Support Deep Color - now it looks as it suppose, deep color make big impact on video quality.
  • Support HDR in Netflix - HDR and SDR is auto switching.
  • More WiFi 5.0Ghz compatibility (previously my Mi Box cannot connect my TP-Link WiFi 5.0Ghz but able connect to my LG G6 in WiFi 5.0Ghz).
  • AOTG no longer FC even open with Mi Box Remote Control.
  • Amazon Prime Video support playback up to Ultra HD.
  • The Google Assistant is well done.
What is still not support
  • HDR not support in YouTube and Amazon Prime Video.
  • Not support Auto Frame Rate Switch.

Hi All, I just got a new Mibox 3 as mention when I buy is international version.

When I open it, it doesn't come with lots of apps. just google store, youtube, netflix and some..... is that normal?
2nd I try to download some APK (chinese apps) like 沙发管家 it can't be install when I open the package. The install button is disable.
3rd. Can suggest some good apps for the box and where can get the installer. I mainly want to watch sport football, f1, motogp, discovery channel, hk drama and movies.....
I don't mind pay some fee....

kind of frustrated working with it, is the first time I have a tv box.

Thanks for all the help in advance.
*
Did you allowed installation when prompt. This is required for 3rd party apps in first run.

Also if still happen install button grey out where is common issue since last Android 6.0 update. Just press the power button to off and press again to on and the install button will be return back.

External remote back button is definitely broken. As of now, only able to back by using the stock remote. Not a big issue but a little annoyed

Anyway, how are u guys accessing your side loaded app in Oreo ? My side launcher seems to have disappeared during the upgrade haha.

I have been having a bad upgrade experience.

The MiBox upgraded fine. Then during restart gave me a HDCP 2.2 error as it was hooked up to a Pioneer 1080p .

So I moved it to my LG OLED via the LG SJ8 soundbar. No HDCP error but bad wifi issues. Could not get stable wifi for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. So did a factory reset...wifi issues resolved after that...then when I tried auto HDMI handshake to get the best resolution it returned a 720p which was shocking. I know for a fact that the LG OLED EDID clearly shows 4k/60p/YCbCr 4.4.4 . Not sure why this is so. Tried Netflix...oddly Netflix does not show me 4k UHD feeds but does not seem to show up. But HDR does....

All sorts of problems..still working thru them
*
Just manual set the resolution to 4K2K 60hz and problem solved. Netflix only give you 4K if your resolution set at 4K2K 50hz or 60hz.

Thanks Andrew, I did not try that. Will try that today...it's odd way BTW. Shd be auto sense by speed. I did set at 4k30 Hz..maybe that's why it did not show. I hv a 100Mbps line and do get high speeds during fast.com testing.
*
Ya this part is same as previous no fix.

4k 30hz make the menu very lag also. Best set as 60hz.

Interestingly, just setting resolution to 4k/60 does not make Netflix play in 4k. I has to set resolution , restart MiBox and reload Netflix to get it to show.

Mine is instant. Never face this issue. Also off course only for show provided in 4K.

Looks like Oreo update is not so stable for the mibox at the moment. I think I will hold the update on my box until the next update then
*
It is stable for me with even fixed of Netflix finally in 4K HDR, deep color is working and also Wi-Fi working in 5Ghz.

Those got issue mostly due to third party air mouse, another is not supporter ntfs. If you don't use this two then I think no issue for the update.
