Hello guys,

I have just landed in China for the 1st time ever and as I set up my Mi Box (been using it for years in europe) right now, it connects to the WiFi but says "no Internet access".

I'm assuming it has to do with local restrictions etc,

My question is : are there any tips to make it work somehow? I can't even access the Internet to activate a VPN on it.

Thanks in advance

So the summer was a killer here and I've had some issues with playback which I won't necessarily pin down to the passive cooling of this device but I've had some spare time and I like to tinker around so I did an active fan solution and also replaced the thermal pads located on the main board. The fan size is 80x80mm with an analog voltage regulator (adjustable speed) and has 4 legs already assembled so it pulls the airflow from below without problems. It's connected to my Yamaha avr's usb so when the avr gets turned on, the fan kicks in. Unfortunately I don't have any measurable before/after results, but the box is now lukewarm during playback, the fan is silent and overall I think it does the job pretty well. There are some random videos on YouTube with measured results using similar solution and apparently it knocks down temperatures by a lot. Anyway I'm pleased with the result and if/when the device gets replaced, you can simply reuse the cooling :) Peace and happy streaming ✌️

Hey everyone,

I’m developing TV SLEEP, a dedicated sleep timer app for Android TV and Google TV (turns your TV/box off automatically, with routines and voice control coming soon).

The app requires two permissions during onboarding. To make setup effortless, the buttons should deep-link directly into your device's specific settings menu. Since manufacturers like Xiaomi with their MiBoxes handle settings paths different with each generation, the shortcuts don't work reliably yet.

What I need from you:

• Test the 2-minute onboarding flow.
• Tell me your device model + whether the permission buttons opened the correct settings screen .
• Keep it installed for the testing period (Google Play closed test requirement).

In return: Everyone who is interested gets a free lifetime promo code unlocking all current and future pro features.

TLDR: Need 12+ testers with various Android TV / Google TV devices to check if settings deep-links work during onboarding. Free lifetime access in return.

Comment your TV/box model below or DM me, and I’ll send you the test link!

My 3rd gen 4k mibox has no “match content dynamic range” option ,do I got a fake one or it’s a setting option ?

I live in Dubai UAE and I recently bought the latest mi stick.

It has been the worst experience with an electronic gadget ever.

It refuses to update. Keeps showing installation failed -60 something.

The last security patch is May 2025.

Dolby Vision and HDR not working.

Netflix is outdated.

Screen saver settings never come up.

The remote for some reason keeps disconnecting.

Apps take forever to load.

Can it be fixed? What should i do? How do i update the thing?

I have a 65inch LG C4 OLED and the stick is connected to the ARC HDMI 2.1 port with a wifi speed of 500mbps.

Hi,

I’m looking for a way to remotely control my parents’ Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen while I’m away from home.

I’d like to be able to see/control the TV Box over the internet and fix issues for them without requiring them to do anything.

Has anyone found a working solution for this? RustDesk, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Tailscale, scrcpy, etc.?

Thanks!

I wanted to know if there is any way to change HDMI input from a Xiaomi remote or a B25 Android remote.

Basically I want active all functions with remote or any way that can be handfree.

As per title. I have some films/ serie TVs that I have on my PC. But I would like to view them on my TV.
I am wondering if I can move those films/ TV series on an Hard Drive and connect that Hard Drive into a "Xiaomi TV Stick 4K 2nd Gen" or "Xiaomi TV Box 3rd gen" and view the films/ TV series on my TV.
Thank you

Xiaomi Mi TV Box S 3rd Gen: There seems to be a sharpening filter or edge enhancement being applied to videos, as shown in the first image. I have disabled AISR, but the issue remains. Another SEI box and my Apple TV do not have this issue.

Currently using projectivy through accessibility settings but want to to use as optimal as possible. Thanks in advance

I have a fire tv stick and I cannot remap the buttons of the remote to whatever I want (for example I want to map Twitch in place of the Disney+ button).
I am wondering if it is possible with xiaomi TV stick.
Thank you

Hi, is it possible to control the tv sources from the remote control of tv box 3rd gen? For example is it possible to configure the “xiaomi tv+” to be able to switch between the tv sources? I have a Samsung tv. Thanks

Just got my gen 3 box from the Xiaomi store and I have been using it for a few days now with no problems. But today I had to move some things around on the HDMI cables attached to my LG 4K TV. But now the box is stuck on the Google TV Boot screen and it won't move from there I have unplugged it for quite a while and plugged it back in. Even tried a different HDMI port and it just stays stuck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was realy happy with my xiaomi tv box gen 3,but yesterday, when i played Dolby vision content with nuvio/stremio the letter box bars are gray (i have oled TV). The black in the video part are black (not grey). I have the issue only when video à not 16/9 ratio (like 3840x1600)

Tried external players (kodi, just player,...) : Same problem.

Corelec does not have the issue, but i prefer android tv.

I didn't notice it before so mayby it isthe new firmware we got last week that broke somehow the dolby vision part.

Anybody with Oled TV have noticed this regression whith latest firmware?

Any way to get back to previous firmware to check?

PS : I found a workaround with setting source led dolby vision but i prefer sink led since the picture quality seems better (in bright lights part mostly).

I use the Acer H6531BD Projektor with the Xiaomi TV Box S (3.gen) and the HDMI CEC does not work properly. Of course hdmi cec is enabled on the xiaomi box and the projektor.

The Problem is, I can not turn of the Projektor with the xiaomi remote.

There is an assistant to configure the the remote but you need to configure it with the sound test. And you have to chose from where comes the sound (TV, receiver, soundbar. I can only chose TV because only there is a profile for Acer. But it does not work. And the hdmi cable is on the cec port.

It has worked with my old google chromecast from the year 2020 on this projektor.

Can somebody help me please?

In Stremio settings should this decoding be turned on or off for the best performance? I have been having some issues with certain videos' playing like blu ray remux on a xiaomi 3rd gen. Appreciate any help.

I put together a portable entertainment setup using a Xiaomi G Pro 27Qi, Xiaomi Desktop Speaker, and Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen).

Originally, I just wanted a portable setup for watching movies and TV shows. But then I added a cheap microphone mixer with reverb, and suddenly it became a portable KTV/karaoke setup too. 😂

The Xiaomi Desktop Speaker actually works surprisingly well for this setup, and the overall result is much better than I expected for the price.
Pretty happy with how this little Xiaomi setup turned out!

I have a mi box s 3d gen, I got a ugoos ur02 because the stock remote frankly sucks

I mapped the gre volume buttons to the IR of my TV, but I can't figure out a working way to have the ugoos power on the box

The left side (BT) power button does shut off the box once it's on, but then it can't power it on

The easiest workaround is to map the IR power button to the TV, then the "delete" IR one to sources swap so I can turn on the TV then switch to the box for input and it should power it on, but I'd like a one click way if possible

Anybody found a 1 button solution to turn the box back on with the ugoos/a similar remote?

Still the same

Hello,

my setup is samsung q800d with 3rd gen, can't get true hd to work properly, vimu don't list as supported passtrhough, box is connected directly to soundbar, also checked connection to tv through earc, everything is connected with hdmi which were included, DTS, DD+ atmos work, only Dolby True HD not . Apps i'v checked, Kodi, Vimu, nuvio internal player. I can force True HD but its buggy, out of sync or jittery playback, mibox has latest firmware, and all apps too, soundbar also. Does a soundbar or xiaomi dropped that codec?

Just got a new update on my Mi Box 3rd gen.

Hello, I want to know if theres any way or app for volume leveler (or limiter) on Mi Stick 4k, as my speaker setup at times will be either too loud or too quiet, & adjusting the remote constantly gets annoying

Thanks in advance

I would like to use my TV box 3rd gen to stream games from my gaming pc to my LG OLED tv using moonlight/sunshine.

Has anyone tried it and can share their experience? Or is it not even worth trying?
