optimalt 10 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Can anyone with one of these boxes confirm if DTS works properly on it? Mine does not.Works for me with the Emby android TV-app and Archos as external player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggierat 18 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 thinking about picking 2 of these up. Are there still issues with DTS? Is everyone still happy with these as an Emby client? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTS still an issue, but otherwise a solid device for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckle 0 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Something I noticed using IPTV via emby on the Mi box is that on start up of any stream it will play until the buffer fills then repeat that segment -- after that it is good to go but you will watch the first minute of a particular stream twice ... which I do not see on my roku devices -- has any one seen this on other android players?

I see this occasionally on my Shield TV. I can't be a 100% sure but I swear I've also have seen it on my Roku as well.

Jdiesel 1114 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) I'm on the latest beta server running on Linux with FFmpeg 2.8.10.

gardar 16 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Since the DTS issues with the mibox haven't been resolved with firmware updates, shouldn't the profile for the mibox be updated so that DTS will be automatically transcoded?

cybergrimes 90 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) I'm thinking about recommending my father in law get one of these to replace his Roku-- he watches live TV remotely from my Emby server and Roku can't decode MPEG2. Can anyone comment on how it handles 1080i MPEG2 live TV? The largest bitrate I see here is around 15 Mbps at the most. Also any experience with remote users watching live TV on the Mi Box? Thanks!

cybergrimes 90 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Answers probably already in the forum or this thread but I bought one to find out ; ) Live TV 1080i will not start unless I enable 'Direct stream live TV' or use an external player. 720 and 480 live TV were fine without either at first but then stopped playing too. All recordings play natively, no issue. Edit 1: I had the same problem when I switched back to my Shield, restarted server and now Mi Box is playing without either of those live TV settings being enabled. Sweet! Edit 2: Not working again, now only reliable with external player setting. So odd *shrug* Edited April 14, 2018 by cybergrimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chali 11 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 After some problems using wetek play 2 / wetek hub and emby i ordered 9 of this mibox3 and one shield tv. but i have a quiestone. when i change the sound from default aac stereo to dts 5.1 the volume get really low. on the wetek boxes the sound gets much higher when using dts. if i look in emby dashboard it stats direkt play. so why is the sound getting so low on mi box? PS: it really great that the built in mic works on emby, i doesn't work on netflix for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdiesel 1114 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Looks like the Oreo update for the Mi Box is starting to roll out.

Fingers crossed. I'm actually completely surprised they did this and didn't just roll out a new box altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I think I read somewhere that they do have a new box, but it's not available internationally. But I may be misremembering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorsl 20 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I think I read somewhere that they do have a new box, but it's not available internationally. But I may be misremembering. I saw that rumor, since we're getting Oreo on the box, it seems that is why Walmart (the primary US seller) had the old version discounted. The new version is rumored to be the exact same box, but with the newer remote and Oreo preinstalled and maybe some more promo items/apps. Supposed to be sold at the original price point at Walmart. I'm debating on updating our Mi's to Oreo. Everything we use on it "works" and works pretty well. I assume Emby is good-to-go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrigo 29 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 This update to Oreo , fixed all my sound issues, as far i can tell, after watching 2 movies 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1114 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 The update also added Project Treble support which should make future updates much simpler and quicker. Hopefully they can get refresh rate switching worked out in the next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
