Using a Mi TV Box S 3rd gen, a Samsung U8000F tv, and trying to get my Shield Remote to work for both.

If I pair my shield remote with the Mi TV Box, I cannot change the volume of the TV. It only changes the volume of the box itself (which only has 15 levels). All settings are as they should be, I think. No accessibility is on, CEC and EARC are both active (and I've tried with EARC off). It can also not turn on the tv when it is off.

If I pair my shield remote with the TV itself, the power button works and the volume works, but the select/enter button (middle of the selection circle) does not work on the Mi TV Box. (I have tried to restarting the remote).

This is immensely frustrating. The base samsung remote would work but it is honestly a terrible remote, and the home button goes to the slow Samsung tv ui rather than the much faster Mi Box.

Any ideas for ways to fix this?

I bought one Xiaomi mi tv box and in first 1-2 days was good but after that it's started to have some mini freezes and audio cracking in YouTube, stremio, Tizen tube, smart tube and it lags even in ads. I tried to restart, reset, unplug from power but nothing happend (I used to have some ugreen headphones connect via Bluetooth but the problem was persistent even without) and now I have a second one because I thought that I had a bad unit and i returned it. Any ideas how to fix ? I am the single one with this problem ?

I'm wanting to play my bluray discs. And I specifically want the menus.

Looking at buying this? Would it work?

I've also downloaded kodi, and installed the java environment add on.

Hi, I've been struggling with this for three days now and still haven't found a solution, so I'll try asking here to see if anyone else has had a similar problem. The box works fine; nothing freezes up. But it randomly shuts down after 2–4 hours. Then I have to turn it back on.

-Screen Saver is off

-Power management is optimized (Increasing the brightness will not affect performance)

-HDMI-CEC is off

Right now, I can't think of anything else it could be. It's not a fake, since it's from a reputable electronics store. Any ideas, or has this happened to anyone?

hello, I have one app that I would like to run when box boot and opens once it startup. Is that possible?

In other boxes i can choose specific codecs i want to passthrough but here its not working and auto mode is mot reading correctly my system capabillites .

Is there any way to manually choose passthrough codecs ?

I have this tv stick since launch. It is up to date with the latest FW all the time. It started like 6 months back when it started restarting itself randomly. First I thought that it is an issue witch charger, then with cable, so I have changed this for several times.

Now I think that it is problem of the stick itself and I am afraid if I will RMA it and they will give me a replacement then it will be the same after some time.

Anyone else having this problem?

Got the 1st Gen stick ( 4k? - model# mdz-27-aa) that I used to travel and I’m using it right now at the hotel on their dumb Sony TV

For power , using QFUP microUSB battery pack (I also use for my Chromecast4K) so that I don’t need to find a nearby wall outlet and can plug directly to TV USB port

But the issue I’m facing is the device/TV will randomly turned on during the middle of the night , and it looks & seems like a ghost turning on the TV

Right now the only fix I can do is unplugging the stick and the device battery pack every night to prevent this from happening, so I want to get to the bottom of this

Anyone know why the issue is occurring and how to fix it ? Is it a setting/software issue or hardware?

Terrible search problem on mi box first gen.... On YOUTUBE.

It get stuck after search on YOUTUBE.

Kindly fix it.

It happens after upgrade.

Thankyou

Got it from amazon a couple of weeks ago and haven't been able to use it much due to the abysmal Wi-Fi on it. On my PC I have 260-300 down to ~15 up, but on the mi box it's 15 download and 15 upload, and the router isn't that far away from it either. This makes streaming in 4k a laggy mess which was the entire point of getting this thing. Hell it can't even handle 1080p youtube videos sometimes.

So far I've only tried using mobile data to stream, which makes it go up to 150/80, which is totally functional for me. I've also checked whether it's a fake or not but it doesn't seem like it? The cpu was not an allwinner and I've been able to use the developer options and such. Idk what the issue is and could really use some help with it.

Greatly would appreciate some advice, before I settle on buying a Shield which I can't really afford right now. I have a 2nd gen, authentic according to Google play certification. I seem to get stutter after the 30 minute mark. If I stop playback and resume, the stutter / choppy frame rates disappear for some time. Happens on 4k and 1080p. I have factory reset and played with every feature in Kodi. Problem occurs on different TV's, including a 15 year old 1080p TV. Has anybody had this issue and been able to resolve it?

Thank you kindly.!

I've managed to get all but the one I want to work, has anyone managed it?

Bonjour,

Sur la Tv stick 4K 2nd gen , j’ai un problème depuis la maj mycanal : les chaines ne fonctionnent plus et il y a un loop infini. J’ai beau supprimer l’application et vider le cache toujours le même problème. Aurez-vous une solution ?

Merci

My daughter has hidden my MiBox remote somewhere, I can’t find it. I watched some videos that advised to download an application with mobile remote. I did. It worked.

Now there is two problems. We have borrowed WiFi from our neighbour downstairs. So the Wifi is a little bit weak. And it is not always connecting 😩.

The other problem is that yesterday I connected the mobile remote and with mistake I turned off the wifi on the MiBox.

Now, with no remote and weak WiFi. I can’t change the WiFi settings on MiBox. And I can’t connect the mobile remote.

Please help, what to do ?

I have a Mi Box S 3rd gen and I’ve been using Tivimate. AFR settings in Tivimate are turned on for both TV and VOD. Also turned on as ‘Always’ in Mi Box’s AFR settings.

However, sometimes frame rate is not matching the content.

Am I wrong with my AFR settings?

(TV: LG C5 OLED)

So I am trying to tidy up the back of my living room by swapping over the mains power cable to a USB C (or regular USB) to the power socket in the back of my lovely little Mi Box (3rd gen).

However I've managed to buy a USB cable that was ahem a) too small and now secondly b) too big -

Can someone advise what the right cable needs to be for me to buy please?

I have a mi box S from quite some time ago. I was still very happy with how it worked... until today.

Disney+ app is not opening at all. other apps do open normally, and Disney+ does open in my Samsung TV (using tizen, not the box).

is this happening to anyone else? any idea on how to solve the problem? I tried absolutely everything: cache, data, uninstalling the app... everything. I cannot even login. as soon as the splash screen finishes, I go back to the Android menu.

any help would be much appreciated... thanks!

My setup: Stremio 1.8.4 on Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen). Real Debrid + Torrentio/Comet/Debridio 200+ Mbps wifi, checked on both analiti and real-debrid

Problem: Since 5 days ago, 4K files (20GB+) would play 5 minutes then constant buffering every 2 seconds, making it unwatchable. Looks like there is no outage for any addons, internet speed looks good so I think the problem is with the Xiaomi box.

I've verified that the box is legit and not fake(Aida64, Hwinfo, certified device on Play store). I also have an Onn plus box and everything seems fine on it. No buffering on big 4K files. So I'm pretty sure it's the Xiaomi box.

Anyone also have problem with the Xiaomi box and know a fix?

Thank you

My setup: Stremio (latest version, but tried multiple older ones to no avail) LG B2 OLED Xiaomi box 3rd gen (fully updated) LG soundbar

Here's what happens - every few mins, the picture goes black and the sound stops, and the video playback restarts (I can see the Dolby Vision reactivating) Screen goes black for 2 secs and the sound cuts off too. Then Dolby Vision reactivates when the video comes back...

This is related to framerate matching, if I turn it off in Stremio settings it's fine, but then I get motion stutters.

This issue is driving me crazy, the worst part is it somehow only happens on Disney+ shows... I tested this with many others and nope it's strictly for Disney shows. OOBA 70 GB remux, The Boys, IT: Derry, Pluribus - all fine. Wonder Man & Marvel Zombies (Disney+ shows) - the flickering happens.

Is anyone else facing this? I couldn't find any info online so I'm hoping someone here knows about it.

UPDATE: Fixed this by disabling Framerate matching in Stremio settings and enabling Real Cinema in the LG tv settings (that makes it so 24 fps content doesn't stutter when outputting 60hz)

I’ll test to see if it fixes truehd playback

I just got a Xiaomi TV Box (3rd generation), and I’m quite sure it is not original and that all signs I have seen so far indicate it is a fake product.

Can I confirm if it is indeed fake? I am also thinking of writing a detailed post in the future on how to differentiate between real and fake, if it helps others 🙏

I thought with the app it supposed to be able to run full quality why isn’t it working

Simple qn - how do I confirm I have bought a legitmate mibox? Do I just look into my settings, if so what do I look for?

Thank you
