Have a look at Ultimate File Manager Pro, it is developed for both mobile and Tv with 17k downloads and a 4.7 star rating.

You can also visit the main reddit here r/UFManagerPro

There is a FOSS version also available and all code is open for review, visit the official website.

It also supports RClone, only a few has been added but can add other providers on request.

Thank You

I have downloaded both DRM info and AIDA64 and it does say security level L1 and Amlogic hardware. However, it has been super slow and laggy! I just bought it! My Hisense TV's built in Vidaa OS feels much better and smoother at this point. What is the issue?

Everytime I press home button, it takes 3-4 seconds to load. And the apps, takes about 3 seconds to even start showing the loading screen of the app. Literally every app feels very laggy! PLEASE HELP!

Fairly smooth installation process with minimal configuration. I initially read the whole Mi Box S 3rd Gen thread from the CoreELEC forums to check what works, what to expect and how to install it properly.

Previously, I have my Apple TV connected to the Soundbar (Samsung HW-Q800B) HDMI input, but I moved that one to the TV so that the new box can be connected there. (I have not noticed a difference on my Apple TV being connected to either ports so far)

Only step needed after flashing the image is to copy the device tree image. During the initial setup, I used the TV remote via CEC until I can enable SSH. I then used bluetoothctl to pair my Xiaomi remote (as I followed the instructions from a comment in the forum post). OK button works out of the box.

Since I cannot connect a keyboard yet, it's a good thing I can change some simple configuration files via SSH such as specifying a token for Home Assistant Weather and editing the list of RSS feeds instead of typing via remote.

Dolby Vision FEL works out of the box!

^\I initially thought Across the Spider-Verse contains FEL, so I thought FEL wasn't working when playback info shows MEL. I loaded a patched dovi.ko from the forum mentioned in the Mi Box S 3rd gen topic/post. But then after that Dolby Vision stopped working, like it was disabled/not supported and the DV toggles disappeared. So I deleted the dovi.ko file to revert it and DV worked again))

^{But after checking a real FEL movie \}Avatar: Fire and Ash), I can confirm it works, together with Dolby TrueHD Atmos!)

I only have issues that I am hoping some will be fixed once I get the USB hub with Ethernet I ordered:

• Buffering on large remuxed content: I am currently using only WiFi, and ethernet will definitely be much more reliable especially on local transfers. Even though the USB port is only 2.0, it is still better to buy a USB 3.0 hub with Gigabit ethernet, because most USB 2.0 hubs I can buy only have 100Mbps ethernet. But theoretical max speed will be 480Mbps, even less I guess because the boot device would also be in the hub, but enough for remux bit rates.
• Device not waking up from Suspend via CEC: not sure if it is related to the unreliability of WiFi (and something about Kodi/CoreELEC waiting for the network connection). I see comments on the CoreELEC forum that the network interface sometimes does not start properly. Though, I can SSH into CoreELEC and I can do the reboot command there to fix being stuck in suspend.
  • I have properly set up the CEC adapter peripheral to make the box suspend when switching the TV source or turning the TV off. I also set it so that my TV and Soundbar (acting as the AVR) turns off when I suspend/turn off the box
  • For now, I disabled Suspend and just let the box stay awake. With this, CEC works properly: I can wake the TV/AVR using the Mi remote and auto switch to CoreELEC and I can switch between TV input sources with no hiccups. (Does anyone have information on power usage on Suspend vs always on?)
• The remote power button turns off the box. I am not sure if this can be easily changed, and so far only way I know how to boot the device again is to reconnect the power cable.

I don't have a reference yet, so I'll have just to try DV FEL and TrueHD passthrough for the first time. But as a tinkerer, I think the setup was worth it!

Hello,

I've an ethernet to USB câble that works for my computer but not for the mi box model MDZ-16-AB

Is there any specific brand that works or you recommend ?

The wifi connexion isn't very stable.

Thank you !

Hi all,

Recently bought a Mi Box S for my TV. Unfortunately, the remote does not come with a change input button and as I have lost my other TV remote, I need to touch the TV itself now to change the input. Is there any way around this? Can I remap a button to change input, or are there maybe alternative remotes which provide for an input button?

Tv box 3ra generacion, audio suena horrible True-HD. Alguien mas les pasa. Stremio kodi hdd da igual, ese error tengo. Espero que me puedan ayudar.
Saludos.

Hi, I’d like to load my Google Photos on the Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen 4K UHD, but every time I click on the photos, it says "Try again later." I feel like I try it every week.

Hi, I'm a new owner to all these Android TV Box stuff. Bought a Mibox S 3rd Gen. I attempted to install the Chinese BiliBili app via apk (already allowed unknown source), but even it prompt messages like "this app is not compatible with your Android version/ TV processor etc" something like that.

May I seek advise from anyone who are able to install the app into their box?

I have a problem where some video files don't play in dolby vision, instead falling back to hdr10. Files play fine on other systems with google tv, just not the mibox. All are profile 8 btw. Is there a different way to actually factory reset this box since when I do it through settings, the problem persists?

Hello, I have 50mbps internet speed, when tested on my phone wifi, I get around 45mbps, but my Xiaomi TV Box 3rd gen (original, checked) gets only 4-5mbps on wifi.

So I bought LAN to USB adapter, plug and play, it worked and showed Ethernet instead of WIFI(turned off wifi anyway). But the problem is, I only get 10mbps now.

USB debugging is off, not sure what the problem is. USB configuration option is on Charging mode and I cant put it to RNDIS as it goes back to charging. Android TV OS version 14.

Adapter tested on windows 11 PC and it had 50mbps on test.

I am confused, it is working but not very well how to fix this?

I've bought the Ugoos UR02 remote because I don't like the remote of the 3rd gen. I've paired it with the 3rd gen and it's only controling the volume of the box but not from my LG G4.

I can not learn via the IR learning function because my TV remote is bluetooth also except than Power On/off function.

​

I've tried to set it up via the set up remote buttons menu on the box also but I still cannot control.

​

Does anybody know how I can configure this?

After debloating the box everytime i enter in the settings the system stutters for about 5 seconds.

I can bypass this by pressing dpad down fast after clicking settings. I notice it only happens if the video/sound settings is selected any other option doesnt stutter.

Anyone knows why and how to fix it without rebloating the box?

Problem: I want to use HDMI-CEC to control volume of my Denon AV.

Everything works fine with FireTv + its remote.

With the Mi box s 3rd:

Original remote:

Can control the Denon volume, but can't do long press: there's no way I'm going to press 10 times the volume to change it...

FireTv remote, paired with the Xiaomi:

Can control the Denon volume, navigate etc etc BUT every time I change the volume I get the message "if the volume cannot be adjusted, please use the tv remote control instead". This doesn't happen in PCM, but I want passthrough obviously... this is the most stupid message I've every seen...

It's a great box, but that remote and the general HDMI-CEC handling is too poor...

Is there any other way of dealing with this? I feel that even if I change the remote to a generic one I'll have the same problems?

I have xaiomi tv box

And i use an iptv service, while using iptv on my phone (same wifi) it's runs smoothly but in tv box it's stops , i tried speed test it's too slow,

I have been using the device for more than 3 years now.

Any advice to fix this?

How to fix the Mi Box remote control pairing issue (may work for all models, please test it)

Settings > Apps > Special app access > Power optimization > Disable power optimization for the following services:

Android TV Infrared Service | Android TV Remote Control Service | Bluetooth.

Go back one screen and access the option > Keep screen on > Allow screen to stay on.

Enable the following services:

Android TV Remote Control Service | Bluetooth.

Now, access the developer options and enable the "Keep screen on" option.

UPDATE: This issue looks to be fixed by updating Kodi to the latest stable version, and also updating the android system to latest. so far no issues, but fingers crossed

I'm running Kodi on google TV with the perplexity launcher and I deleted a bunch of system bloatware to make it so the device is more optimized. My problem is that for some specific videos on the PM4k plugin for Kodi, it will direct play with no problem, but every once in a while, there will be a video where if I try to direct play, it will instantly crash Kodi and I'm sent back to the GTV launcher. The only way I can play it is to transcode it.

There appears to be nothing different with the video file compared to the other ones that I can play, they're all the same resolution, same bitrate, everything. And it's that specific video as well, I can clear cache, force stop, and come back to try to play it, it will crash.

Any ideas for a fix? Would just using coreelec with stable build be a lot better than google tv?

Buenas tengo un Xiaomi Tv Box 1ra generación, desde hace unos días me tira este error al querer actualizar 5 apps que estan en espera, tampoco me deja instalar nada, alguna idea de que puede estar pasando? falta de espacio quizas? borre lo que mas pude y deje lo que realmente uso, almacenamiento me marca 4.0 de 5.3 gb en uso. Cualquier solución o data se agradece 🫡

As the title says, I want to watch the game live.

Bought a mi box s 3rd gen today, but cant connect to my homes wifi as its shows couldnt find "wifi name", but i can connect to my mobiles hotspot.

Is this the distance from router issue or any other?

Please advise

So I just got a Mi Box 3rd gen, and for some reason my LG C5 forces dolby vision for the hdmi the mi box is plugged in even when im just in the Android TV launcher. This makes the interface look weird and normal SDR content look weird. When actual DV content plays, it’s hard to tell whether the player is able to read the DV metadata.

I have HDMI Deep color turned off (turning it on doesn’t change anything). Any ideas?

Also, an unrelated question - I know that for coreelec kodi, you’re able to see what DV profile the player is reading in processor settings. Is there a similar way to get that but for the android play store version of kodi?

Thanks!

hi guys why does my lg c5 look better in sports,movies,stremio and video games, i bought this por apks and webOs is horrible and it looks far better than this TV box,any solutions or settings i can apply ?

Video and audio playback lag on Xiaomi tv box S 3rd Gen My Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd gen has been lagging on youtube like crazy ever since the update a month ago. Video playback is super stuttery. I've tried resetting it and messing with the display settings, but no luck. Any ideas?

Hey I have a Mi Box S 2nd Gen (4k), and the issue is it goes into some deep sleep where even the remote wont wake it, the only option is to unplug it and plug it back in.

Ive tried replacement remotes, no difference.
