I also considering mibox S malaysia (official). I just need a budget player who can play most of the file including H.265 file.
My old trusty ac ryan media player is working fine but the product is EOL and no more firmware update to H.265...my wife is using most of the time.
i am ex-AC Ryan user too, but moved on to other boxes a few years ago.My old trusty ac ryan media player is working fine but the product is EOL and no more firmware update to H.265...my wife is using most of the time.
mibox S is a good choice if u need a box to do Netflix HD and your TV doesn't hv Netflix.
for playback, there are a thousand boxes u can buy in the rm100-300 range, e.g.:

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4044338/+1180
all these low price boxes can playback simple small videos.
some very smooth, some a little less so; depends on the file type.
some can do surround 5.1 audio, some can only do 2.0 stereo.
the reason for such differences is that pure media players like ac ryan and WDLive have gone extinct.
the new wave is OTT online streaming, hence the many many boxes.
the focus is not on playback but online streaming; focus is not on audio but video.
only the more costly boxes can do both streaming and playback well, video and audio.
no need to spend RM500-600 if u just need a simple box media player.
but if u r planning to move up to bigger n better ones incl BDMV's and lossless audio, u will need something like Q10pro.
