What application in MiBox 3 can watch 4k movie MKV file?

Downloaded Fifth Element in 18GB as Mastered in 4K but unable to run in Mibox. But my computer can use 4k player to open.

a normal 1080p bluray movie already 40Gb...i doubt 4K movie only 18Gb...
mibox own media player can play 4K

I have bought a Xiaomi 64bits unit and I zoom into the storage usage of the unit and I was surprise that the unit consume more than 2 GB for the system use only. 

Another category is the "Other" section, it took 495MB. Is there any method to zoom in more and to remove unwanted item from there.

Care to share some method to solve my issue.[attachmentid=5763556]

install ES Explorer...then click SD card analyst...should be able to see what's consuming the space

Stick with Official Malaysia edition (3S) and not the unlocked edition. Unlocked is not required at all.

If you unlocked (root), the box will be permanent lost the capability to play Netflix in Full HD and 4K because Netflix won't certified root device and not certified device will be cap in 480p resolution only for Netflix.

MiBox 4 is specific design for China market now without Play Store and no Netflix certified.

MiBox 4 spec is very similar to 3s but running Mi TV OS instead of Android TV OS.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/01/28/xi...g-february-1st/

"Mi Box 4 uses an Amlogic S905L chipset, which lacks hardware decoding support for VP9. The international Mi Box uses the Amlogic S905X-H, which supports the royalty-free codec used primarily by YouTube."

They is no single benefits getting Mi Box 4 at all.

what is the difference between Mi TV OS vs Android TV OS ?

perhaps you can factory reset your 2S to revert back to stock OS ?

Just received my Mi Box yesterday and I'm very happy with the product. Bought it from this seller on Lazada. Cheapest price for the international version (with play store)

Kodi, Spotify, YouTube and Netflix works great on it. Even got the Astro Go app to run flawlessly with some minor tweaks. Would definitely recommend this version of Mi Box.

this is cheap...

the only thing that i dislike is that the box has no sd card slot...

Easy to fix. A USB card reader can help.

yea i know...but no usb slot for bluetooth mouse anymore, unless using an usb splitter but this is adding accessories already

anyways still an awesome box

btw...just wanna know what's the difference between this international version from the older gen-1 gen-2 models - H265 vs H264 ? Android Tv OS vs MUI OS ?

sifus sekalian...

can mibox international model plays 3GP, AVI, FLV, M2TS, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, TS formats ?


Based on this comparison website: https://www.gearbest.com/compare-333724_584..._426056-21_21_4, seems like only supports 4K x 2K, H.264, H.265, VP9 Profile-2 formats ?

MiTV is not certified under Netflix because if not wrong it is China edition and China don't have Netflix. You will only get 480p resolution in not certified device.

Also those China edition Mi Box is facing same issue as well. Only international edition include Malaysia edition Mi Box can stream Netflix up to 4K resolution.

aiks...Mi Tv can't display 4k on netflix ah...
