Mi Box 4 released in China:

Mi China (CN)

Lower specs (processor speed) but spiced up with AI? I can't brain this, or did I miss anything? hmm.gif

Found a working Amazon Video for Android TV. This apk is taken out from Nvidia Shield. Tested and working in Mi Box. smile.gif

Notice Ultra HD content cannot playback mentioned not enough bandwidth. I don't have such issue on my Panasonic TV Amazon Video.

Tonight will try another version take out from Sony Android TV.

Is Bloomberg TV+ a default app on Android TV, or you downloaded yourself?

Was thinking to buy a second mibox for use in MIL house during weekends since astro go now support more channels.

I'm quite surprised to see it work flawlessly. At first, download a force rotate app which causes it to crash immediately. Then saw you guys mention orientation and search for it and viola, it work straightaway. Without orientation, it still work but the menu is in portrait mode and hurting my neck and brain. Movie still play in landscape. After installing orientation app, everything is in landscape mode. Weekends will feel less boring now. Will fully try it tomorrow and see wanna use moc code to buy 2nd unit. Oh... I was on 1304 firmware.
*
Where did you buy your first unit, and if you do want to get a 2nd one, where would be best to get it? I'm interested too.

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.

Also experienced the similar thing with youtube freezing when I fast forward a video. Had to reboot mibox by switching off the power to get it running again.

Is this the Ugreen USB 3.0 Ethernet dongle that you all are referring to? Any RJ45 Ethernet cable will work with this right?

jz notice xiaomi mi box s doesnt come with LAN port.

will this affect the performance?

If you're not satisfied with the speed via Wifi, you can consider getting the Ugreen Ethernet USB 3.0 adapter for the Mi Box S. If you search in this thread, some have bought this for their boxes.

Wanna buy a mi box s. Can anyone tell me, after few months use, will it slow down/lag? Bought 1 china tv box last time, so lag its unusable.

I bought the Mi Box (International, predecessor to Mi Box S) for a year now and I would say it still performs fine after 1 or 2 major Android TV OTA updates.
