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.

MiBox does support UHD and HDR from Netflix. So that's not the issue.

guys... help needed on Netflix
i. I have Xiaomi 4k TV ( Mi TV 2 )
ii. I have Xiaomi Mi Box 3 (latest firmware just upgraded today)
iii. I have Netflix UHD account (RM51/mth)
iv. Im on unifi 30Mbps plan

Disclaimer : Connected through Onkyo TX-NR646 , 4k receiver

Why the f*** cant get UHD content?

No problem with Youtube 4k content

And before saying my internet issue ; Netflix recommend for UHD is 25Mbps...

What is ur output resolution on the MiBox, I found that to see UHD and HDR content on miBox u would need to set output resolution 4k 60 and output 10bit from colour space. Also, try to restart box using the settings after u change the settings to see if that helps.

Just a note to those who upgraded to Oreo. Firmware 2179 is definitely much better than the last 2303 firmware. Dolby 5.1 streams work in Netflix and wifi is much more stable

hi bro... u will be the right person to ask...

u have this mibox int'l, right?

android8.0 or 8.1 now?

how do u do playback - with what player app?

is there a native player app in this box like q10pro?

can any of these apps do ddtruehd, dtshdma... bdmv, 4k hdr videos?
i am considering the new mibox s for secondary use.

tq.

Hi...

Yes I do. It's on Android 8.0

At the moment I hv not used this for any playback of media. It's only being used for official apps.

For any UHD or BD Rips I use the q10 pro since it works well with menu and all.

I can test if u want but I'm not sure which app I shd use as there is no built in player.

thanks for response.

as i thought, this box like most others, does not have a native player.

is it possible u test with kodi player and mx pro?

i wud think mx pro can do what i'm looking for like it does on q10pro.

kodi, i like to know becos it is tricky for many boxes since kodi17.

if mx pro can do it, it'll be alright.

i already tested on my androidtv8.0 tv - it can be installed, just dunno if mibox s can do those audio i want.

the specs on mibox s says "dd, dts hd" - doesn't give me the assurance!

i won't buy any box that can't pass thru those audio types.

thanks again.

Does mxpro app work with uhd and bdmv folders?

It does on q10pro.

Trouble is, u need to navigate to find the specific main m2ts file.

AVFAN,

I tried it with MXPro app. It works on both bdmv folders for bd and UHD. However, it does not play the audio stream for Atmos but only plays the stream that has 5.1 Dolby Digital or pcm. So not much use. Does not work for DTS HD MA or Dolby TrueHD. So most of the times it only plays the audio commentary track of foreign tracks in DD5.1.

The good news is it does trigger try HDR flag and picture looks right for the UHD streams.

Is HBO Go already available in the Android TV store? Or did u mean loading the mobile version apk?
