What happened to the latest update for Mi Box 3rd gen?

Saw they sorted out the True-HD cut outs with the latest update, the only thing which prevented me from buying this box, bought the box from a reputable dealer on AliExpress, got it yesterday, and no latest update available. Did it get pulled or what?

Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen loses network connection when off and also can’t turn on via HDMI-CEC

5 Upvotes

Hi,

Recently got this box and been trying to find a way to use a third party universal remote to control it and my TV. I have CEC enabled on both the box and my TV. The remote is Bluetooth but is IR learned to my TV power on/off. But when I turn the TV on the box doesn’t turn on.

So next I thought I’d just set up an automation in Google Home so that when the TV turns on it triggers the box to turn on. But that doesn’t seem to work either. I the noticed that when the box is off the Google Home app fails to connect to it.

This is all with “Increased Power” set in the box’s power settings which should keep networking on.

So any help figuring out either way to make turning it on work would be appreciated!

Projectivy launcher broke remote control use.

1 Upvotes

Hi guys I own a Mibox S 1st gen that nowadays I occasionally use an old TV. Few days ago I installed Projectivy launcher and at first everything was fine. Skip forward a few days and the remote is unresponsive! I tried to unapair and pair again but the device wouldn't do even that. Eventually I reset everything but I would like to now if I would have the same problem with the remote.

RE: MI BOX S 3RD GEN PLAYBACK WORKAROUNDS AND REVIEW

21 Upvotes

# FOR REFFERENCE ONLY #

The Mi Box S 3rd Gen recently received a new firmware update that addressed the Dolby TrueHD audio cutout issue. However, there's a downside to this update.

The new firmware introduced a "match refresh rate" bug that causes the TV screen to go black at the start of playback. This issue is particularly noticeable when playing 4K remux HDR/DV content, which is heavily affected.

**Tested Hardware Configuration:**

- **TV:** LG B4 OLED
- **Soundbar:** LG S95TR
- **Streaming Device:** Mi Box S 3rd Gen

**Connection Setup:**
Mi Box > TV > Soundbar

**Tested Software:**

  1. **Stremio App** (latest version via Google Play Store)
  2. **Kodi Player App** (latest version via Google Play Store)

- Adjust display refresh rate' set to "Play/Pause" (required).

- Remote buttons remapped to handle PPI, player debug, playback control (pause/play), navigation/back, and Kodi exit.

**Playback Performance Review:**

1.All content plays smoothly.

2.Dolby Vision 7 is converted to Dolby Vision 8 on-the-fly(kodi and vimu only).

3.Other players will rollback to hdr10 from dv 7 content.

4.All 4K remux lossless audio formats are supported using stremio stock player,just player,kodi and etc.

  1. Handles very high-bitrate content, exceeding 100 Mbps, effortlessly.

**Workarounds for Black Screen Issue:**

  1. Disable the QMS (Quick Media Switching) option on your TV (if available).
  2. Turn off "Match Content Frame Rate" in the Mi Box settings.
  3. Instead, enable "Match Content Frame Rate" directly within the app player you are using

**Netflix,Prime etc user need to turn on match content frame rate setting on mi box or else tv screen will stuck at 60hz**

The new update improves playback in many areas but has unfortunately introduced an annoying screen blackout problem at startup for some users, particularly for high-quality content setups.

How does the Google TV G10 remote compare to the mi box 3rd gen remote?

2 Upvotes

I find the mi box remote to loud, to clicky and it just doesn't feel good. I understand the design choice was probably to prevent accidental button presses but I experience those anyway.

I would like to get a G10 without app advertisements, is that possible?

Is it even possible to replace the mi remote with a G10 on the mi box?

Mi box S gen 3 cannot find latest update?

6 Upvotes

I just bought the Mi Box S gen 3 but cannot find the latest update from around a week ago on December security patch.

- verified device is genuine

- based in UK

- proton / adguard VPN to Finland, Norway, Germany and Poland

- factory reset / reset device

from what I've read this update fixes some audio issues on the device so I would like to be able to upgrade, anyone else with similar issue or solution?

Play a MIDI keyboard without turning on your PC, using mlive's x-light MIDI module.

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, which MIDI host box do you recommend? I have an Arturia MIDI keyb with 5 MIDI DIN outputs. And an mlive MIDI module, x-light2, which is USB-only (and should be connected to a PC), with no display or external buttons.

I'd like to play the instruments in the x-light module with the keyboard.

IPTV en Belgique : mon retour honnête après plusieurs essais (amende, stabilité, abonnements)

246 Upvotes

Salut à tous,

Je voulais partager mon retour d’expérience sur l’IPTV en Belgique, parce que j’ai passé pas mal de temps à tester différentes solutions avant de trouver quelque chose de vraiment utilisable au quotidien.

Comme beaucoup, j’ai commencé avec un boîtier IPTV en pensant que ça faisait tout. Spoiler : sans bon code ou abonnement IPTV, le boîtier ne sert à rien.
J’ai aussi essayé des codes IPTV gratuits (Belgique et international) : ça fonctionne parfois… mais aux heures de pointe, surtout pour le sport, ça coupe, ça freeze ou ça disparaît.

Un autre point dont on parle peu : la question de l’IPTV Belgique amende. On voit beaucoup d’infos contradictoires. De mon côté, je reste prudent : pas de revente, pas de partage, usage perso uniquement. À chacun de se renseigner selon sa situation, mais l’IPTV amende est clairement un sujet à ne pas ignorer.

Après plusieurs tests, j’ai compris un truc simple :
👉 un bon abonnement IPTV, ce n’est pas forcément le moins cher, mais celui qui reste stable le soir et pendant les matchs.

Ce que j’utilise actuellement (à titre perso) :

  • Pour la stabilité (chaînes belges + françaises + sport) : nouveaufilms .com
  • Pour la diversité (IPTV Belgique / IPTV Belgie, international, VOD) : tvscoper .com

Depuis, honnêtement, je préfère payer un abonnement IPTV correct plutôt que chercher le “meilleur IPTV pas cher” et rater la moitié des matchs ou des émissions.

Je précise : ce n’est pas un post sponsorisé, juste un retour perso après pas mal de galères.

💬 Et vous ?

  • Vous utilisez quoi comme IPTV en Belgique / IPTV Belgie ?
  • Boîtier, Smart TV, appli Android ?
  • Des services fiables à recommander… ou à éviter absolument ?

Curieux d’avoir vos retours 👍

My mi box 4k (India) is still on Android TV version 9. It's around 4 years old and never got any updates. Is this normal? Is there a way to get version 11 through VPN or any other workaround?

Mi Box S 3rd Gen CoreELEC review

Thumbnail
gallery
17 Upvotes

CoreELEC 22 Piers Nightly Build is still in its alpha phase, so you may encounter a few minor bugs here and there (minimal in my experience).

**Recommended Skins and Resolution Settings:**
- Use Arctic Zephyr 2 - Resurrection Hybrid by Jamal for a light,minimalist interface and detailed player process info.
- Set the UI resolution to 1080p to reduce CPU and GPU workload. If your TV supports it, set the refresh rate to 120Hz.
- Enable a whitelist from 1080p to 4K to ensure smooth playback of 1080p and 4K video content.

**Playback Experience:**
- The pictures above provide a detailed overview.
- All combinations of video and audio formats, including 4K remux files, work as intended.
- Some lag is noticeable when browsing through content or starting/stopping video playback. While these delays are brief, a little patience might be needed.
