There are two versions of official netflix, one is black background logo, one is white background logo. The black one cannot do 4k and so should not have problem with installation. The white background netflix has very stringent requirements which I don't think tx3 mini can meet.

Also there are many fake netflix.

The official one package name is com.netflix.mediaclient ( black ) and the other one is com.netflix.ninja ( white ).

thks for info

Netflix Pro is a fake?? damn, it sure looks like original!!

Of course it is fake. What do you think ? Free this free that Kekeke ....

It has got many names, Netflix Pro, OneBox HD, Megabox HD ........LOL.

Don't tell me all the time you tell us the boxes can run netflix, but actually you are running fake netflix ?

got pics on the icon on how it looks?

curious

This is an example of true 4K capable Netflix installed.



This is an example of normal Netflix installed.



But icon alone is not sufficient. Check also the package name.

Black one package name is com.netflix.mediaclient.

White one package name is com.netflix.ninja.

(Actually checking package name is also not sufficient, have to check digital signature of the apk is indeed signed by Netflix ).

Of course I know.. lol.. just trolling around.. the netflix pro is 'original' only for the icon..

btw, astrogo beta.. get prepared everybody.. got safety net google check, also got magisk/xposed/rootcloak check as well..

hahahaha.. good job astro.. this time u really hire professional developers..

Sure or not, where do you hear it from ?

Astro Paying money to hire professionals , ha ha ha.
I am more incline to believe there is a Technology Transfer between their partnership with HBO.

Will see how the new astroGo comes about. If they make AstroGo harder to install/run, then I see IPTV will be getting good business in the coming days, and brisk business like yourself to help others fully unroot boxes manually. I notice you do charge for services like these... ha ha ha.

Sounds like he has vested interest, he likes Astro to make life difficult for the users, so that he can add value and charge.

thanks for the pics.. now i know which is what

Bottomline: Forget about installing the white background netflix. Minimum requirement is widevine L1. TX3 mini, no chance !

The black background netflix ( com.netflix.mediaclient ) can be installed from play store. If you got problem, check this :-

1. The box must be cleanly unrooted or you must install Magisk and configured if rooted ( hide root from Netflix and Google play store ).

2. If still got problem, clean data and cache for Google play store.

After doing all these, Netflix should be downloadable and runnable on any box.

Tx3 Mini is good, but is it the best in everything? No!! there is no such device other than the king of android boxes which is the Nvidia Shield.

It has been pointed out that Tx3 Mini is a good value buy. A value buy for all manners of streaming.

Majority of people will ask for compatibility with AoTG and Unifi Play TV. Tx3 ticks all that currently (unknown that will happen when new app is released). The intelligent guess is that the app is easier to install and run in a fair bit more boxes if the beta testing is to be taken into account.

Then there are people who wishes like 3D gaming most of all, then nothing beats the Nvidia shield for Android System.

Then there are people who puts Netflix above all else.
And if you ask 10 person to recommend a box for netflix, 7 of them will recommend Xiaomi Mibox S MDZ-22-AB.

The Mibox S is only a 2GB RAM and 8GB ROM but it costs almost 2.5 times of a Tx3 mini with 2/16GB. Apart from the voice remote, other wise all other hardware of both are identical or similar.

So why is Mibox S so expensive, it is because it is one of the affordable boxes with Widevine L1 certification. Basically means it is Google Approve, and Xiaomi paid License fee to Google to have this certification. With this certification, the box is the able to Play NETFLIX in TRUE 4K quality. So you are paying google to enjoy the 4K feature of Netflix.

If Netflix is the number 1 priority, go for the mibox S. You won't have any regrets, until a time where you will notice certain limitations of the box. ( lack of USB ports, lack of LAN port, low 8GB ROM)

Prior to last month, a lot of local sellers was selling this box by buying the box from the States and selling it locally to make a profit. The price in the states is less than RM200, but sold here for RM300 and above. And obviously no Xiaomi Malaysia warranty. If the box fails, it is down the rubbish bin. Doubt the seller will take responsibility.

Here is a a tip... there is a new Xiaomi Store in Shopee. It is a cross border Xiaomi Retail online store operating from Hong Kong.

They are selling MiBox S MDX-22-AB for RM 249. And it comes with local Malaysia Warranty. Last month was only selling for RM235 promotion price.

https://shopee.com.my/Xiaomi-Mi-Box-S-Globa...1550.2274451566


There is another way to get Mibox S for free, but I am not sure if the Credit Card Promotion is still on. Even then, you have to wait 1 month or more for the credit card approval and the delivery of the box. Forgot which local site is offering it.

So if Netflix is SUPER IMPORTANT, and 4K NETFLIX is ESSENTIAL - go for MiboX S. Other wise, if you are comfortable with 480p - Tx3 mini delivers. Bang for buck, best value for for general streaming at 1080p60 on Youtube. In some cases Netflix 480p shows looks like it is 720p or HD when displayed on TV.



--------------------------
Edit : - It was Ringgit Plus and Citibank Credit Card I think but the promotion for Free Mibox is no longer on the site.

I am puzzled why is tx3mini at rm11x being compared with shieldtv at rm1000.

And do u even know some weaknesses of that box compared to other boxes.

Shieldtv is great for what it does in atv and gaming but is not king when it comes to some other purposes, even with its high price.

tx3mini is good if you not into other things then just watching tv/streaming

sheildtv is also good, for that price and its multipurpose usage.. its good already..

just ask yourself.. what do u need?

Just bought one from Lazada after reading this thread, seems to be the right box for first time users like me.

For such a low price with decent features and capabilities, u can't go wrong.

Even if it works for just 2 years!

below something i posted in astrogo thread.

the new APK works on tx3mini, tx5max (root closed).

Does it still have audio lag?
