I can't watch anything at all now.
Any chance to change ROM for this?

Im using mi Box 3 international version, same thing here, can't stream on iflix and a China TV app I installed, can't even login to iflix, it always shows an error "something went wrong with our servers, please try again later".

One more thing I noticed, when I press to check for update in the setting menu, nothing happen, it doesn't check for firmware update and the last update check date never changed.

Ok guys and gals. For all those having the slow streaming and buffering problem on mi box international version, I found the fix for it.

In your wifi settings,  change from DHCP to static and use google dns servers. 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4

It solved the problem for me and full hd streaming works fine on all apps now. I've only tested this on the international version so I don't know if it'll work for other versions but you can try. I have Open DNS servers configured on my router and don't have problems with any other devices.

Tried this on my mi Box 3 international version, didn't help... cry.gif

Weird thing is when I connect the mi Box to other wifi (other than unifi) such as my phone hotspot, I can stream all the tv app with no problems.

Hello, recently I just bought a mi box pro 3 China version, but I can't use it on my Unifi. The speed doesn't load.

I am sure the mi box is functionining coz it is usable on TIME ISP which, it is my shop's ISP.

Anyone know any solution ? I wondering if i need to set anything on my Unifi router ?

you can try the dns changer as those posted earlier.
The much simple and easy ways-use vpn service.

I have tried to change the DNS to google DNS, not working as well. The problem only happen when the Mi Box is connected to unifi, no problem at all when it is connected to other ISP wifi such as my phone hotspot.

I know it is TM issue.I do not like to waste time playing with dns.
So I use VPN service.Just tested.No problem.Using Hong Kong Server.

VPN does not solve the connect to iFlix or Netflix in the Mi Box..

even without VPN, there is no problem Iflix on the mdz-16-ab international version.
which version are you having-
the orange box selling from China(US version)? or
the brown box also from China(International version?)
*
I threw away the box, so not sure where to see the version, but mine one was the orange box, I thought the international version has the orange box as well?

Precisely. You don't need VPN. Both iFlix and Netflix are official streaming sites for Malaysian subscribers.

I know right, I used vpn, connect back to Malaysia server, and everything works (iflix, netflix and Astro on the go). rclxub.gif I'm currently located at Malaysia. why do i need to vpn to malaysia server for it to work?? rclxub.gif

Cuz the problem most likely lies on your ISP, the server u VPN to might be using different ISP or they are on different routing if they are on the same ISP as yours.

Personal and business routing is different
*
But my other devices such as ipad, PC and android connecting to the same Unifi wifi as the xiaomi box have no problem accessing to iflix or netflix..so i dont think it's unifi problem.
