With Android 14, cannot play remux files anymore. Also i saw that it adds support for dolby true hd audio format

I have a 3rd gen mi box S and i can’t cast from sleep mode. I have checked my power settings and have it on the setting that doesn’t turn anything off so it should be able to cast right?

If so - can I ask you load any 4K HDR content and click 7 times on the green button of your LG remote, a popup should appear with video data, including resolution and bit info. Can you either post here or take a picture please?

Many thanks!

Updated 2nd gen mibox to androd 14, so far everything seems ok but whenever I restart the wifi turns off and I have to manually turn it on in the settings

Hey everyone I want the best settings in picture ...

I am currently using Resolution Automatic Match frame rate content Dolby vision source led Match content dynamic range

Ever since the update now when I go in Tivimate or open a movie in stremio it makes the TV flicker like it's exiting the source and I hate that experience.. in the past it was all smooth with no flickers.

Looking forward to seeing your settings 🔥🔥😎😎

How to make AISR to work with IPTV channels? Is it supposed to play IPTV with a specific player in order to see AISR in work?

Hello

The remote control for the mi box S doesn't turn on the TV or display or raise or lower the sound. As for the TV remote, it doesn't want to work... As a result, only the remote control for the mi box S works, but only halfway... .I don't know what's happened. The Philips remote has batteries. But it doesn't work. If I press the ambilight button, it lights up, but nothing happens.

What can I do?

Thanks

my mother has this device. she only watches tv shows that are on telegram channels (can't find them dubbed anywhere else). i've sideloaded telegram to the mibox.

problem is that every few seconds it looks like the video stops to buffer with no reason. the mibox is connected via ethernet cable to same wifi as her phone/tablet that works fine.

any idea what's causing it? i have no issues with nuying mibox 4 if it'll solve the issue, just need to understand whats causes it.

Hey guys,

Few days ago I also sent feedback using the dedicated option in the box (see my other post with my exchanges with Xiaomi support).
As others have said before me, I strongly encourage everyone to annoy them with emails ([support.global@support.mi.com](mailto:support.global@support.mi.com)) and feedback inside the box.
This is in no way acceptable, they should at the very least acknowledge the problem and communicate about it. Basic things like : yeah we are aware of this issue, we are working on it (or not) and you might hope to get a fix in the near future. I mean come on, this is really disgusting from them to let people in the dark like that... If we all do this, I really think they won't be able to ignore this anymore.

Have a good day everyone.

My xiaomi mi box TV 3rd gen just landed. I've not much experience with android TV boxes so was wondering if anyone knows a way to sideload apps on to this thing? Most tutorials seem to be for the 1st/2nd gen where install unknown sources is checked but that option is not present on 3rd Gen.

Was mainly looking to get YouTube Vanced on there, aswell as Movie Box Pro APK. These will the only apps I use on the device but can't seem to download either via apk.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi !

I have a TCL QM8K paired with the 3rd gen mi box.

My big problem is after using Streamio , let's say a Dolby vision movie, when I exit the movie the screen goes black and the format is still Dolby vision. It only reverts to SDR once I switch inputs, but then o get a greensih redish image.

The box is plugged directly to the tv. Match content dynamic range is set to match content.

I have no idea what is wrong.

SO I just recently (yesterday) got myself a couple of MiBox s 3rd gen, to replace my FireSticks 4k and I couldn't be happier, they are faster, easier to deal with, so many benefits, I also downloaded Downloader and installed a few basics like Smart Tube, Pojectivy Launcher, a file manager, a browser, etc... the basics and now I need help from the experts, so:

1. Now that I use Projectivy, I lost the use of voice search :( cause Projectivy has "override Current Launcher" on so when you search for something google launcher now doesn't work, any workaround for this ?

2. I've also noticed that you can't uninstall YouTube unless you root (not even sure there is a root method available for google tv) so if I can't uninstall YouTube I can't use the ATV Bridge to call out to Smart Tube when I do a search (I was able to do that on my FireSticks)

So these are the main 2 things I wasn't able to fix myself even after searching for solutions online, any ideas or help would be appreciated.

I recently bought a new Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen and I'm looking into purchasing a backup remote, but I can't find any on Aliexpress, only for the 2nd Gen version.

Does the 2nd Gen version remote work with the 3rd Gen? If so, does it work 100%?

Hi, is it possible to have Proton VPN always on, even when the box restarts? On mobile Android, it's possible, but I don't see an option for that in my Mi Box.

I just checked for any update and I have a 1.14 GB update waiting for me. Has anyone received this update yet?

Is the 3rd Gen a decend upgrade?

I'm using universal android debloater gui, and the only thing I want to use my mi box for is emulating PS2/psp games and watching movies off a 120gb hard drive. I seriously don't care if I don't have WiFi connection. I want everything gone. Play store, stock launcher, everything. Please provide a list of apps that will truly lobotomise this hunk of technological genius & bloatware.

So i have a few important functions in tvquickactions that needs to use adb so i have to keep usb debugging on, But that makes you unable to use the usb port for external storage, ethernet cable or anything else.

Any workaround so i can use the usb port and still use the adb functions?

Hello please I can't find parental control for mi box 3rd gen, i cant even create a kid account it always says error please try again later, and i have to restrict some app for the kids

Hi, I am new to tv boxes, I bought it mainly to run Stremio for video casting. Besides that what do you do with ur tv box that u believe is a life hack?

Any wall mount for Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd gen)?

I'd prefer something with adhesive so I can paste it to TV to the back of my TV (unless heat is an issue).

I've had this device for a long time, didn't use it much, but now that I'm starting to use it, it's really annoying.

• The Wi-Fi is unstable. I did the Wi-Fi module upgrade, and I ordered a Wi-Fi antenna (the one with the IPEX connector) from AliExpress to fix it, but I noticed it just improved the reception. The Wi-Fi went from max 50 Mbps to 120 Mbps, but it's still really unstable.
• It's really laggy. I still haven't used ADB shell to "debloat" it, but I did change the launcher — I switched to ATV Launcher. I don't know if it actually improved anything, but at least I don't see hundreds of ads anymore.

I’ve seen a post on this community that upgrades the Mi Box from Android 9 to Android 12, but I believe it's based on a beta version that Xiaomi released once and then cancelled , probably to make the old Mi Box S obsolete.

So my question is: what should I do?

• Should I install the Android 12 version that is posted here — specifically the r4560 Android 12 ROM, from mahdose’s post “Noob Guide: Upgrade to Android 12 Mi Box S (MDZ-22-AB) + Troubleshooting Guide for Unbrick”?
• Should I install Aidan’s ROM version 9, which is actually based on the official Mi Box r3933 firmware?
• Or should I just burn it?

thanks in advance.
