Guest asrequested Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 This update to Oreo , fixed all my sound issues, as far i can tell, after watching 2 movies So it's officially released? Or did you get the pre-release?
Guest asrequested Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) SUpposed to fix the DTS audio issue. Fingers crossed. I'm actually completely surprised they did this and didn't just roll out a new box altogether. Here ya go @@mastrmind11 Edited June 26, 2018 by Doofus 1
Guest asrequested Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 It works very nicely. There's a setting to convert HDR to SDR, too. The only glitch I've found is that Live TV still has little pauses, mpv was worse, but everything else is buttery smooth. 1
mastrmind11 722 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 great news. no more manual remuxing for me now
majorsl 23 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 I updated as well. A pretty decent update! I actually like the new home screen, I realize I may be in the minority. Ooooooo, I didn't realize there is an HDR to SDR setting... I have a couple of things I need to try with Emby and that. Anyone give it a go? I assume it is somehow automatic?
neik 873 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Does the Emby App adjust the refresh rate (24p, etc.) on the Mi Box? With my FTVS it unfortunately it plays everything in 1080p60 instead of adjusting to the actual refresh rate.

tdiguy 99 Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 I hope that i can update my mi box after manually updating it to the beta build, i will have to give that a go after work today.
neik 873 Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Nope sounds like refresh rate switching is still broken on the Mi Box. Is this a Mi Box or App issue? Are there plans to fix this? The only alternative to the Mi Box using actual Android TV is the Shield, right?
Trekster 10 Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 It's a mibox issue. It's working on my Shield TV Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk 1
Guest asrequested Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 I hope that i can update my mi box after manually updating it to the beta build, i will have to give that a go after work today. From what I've read, it should be fine.
tdiguy 99 Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Very nice, turns out i was able to update it with the system tool via ota update. Looks great also!
Guest asrequested Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 If you ask me, the mibox has a big advantage over shield, now. Mibox has the HDR to SDR and SDR to HDR, options. But the shield doesn't appear to have that. At least I can't find it.
clarkss12 304 Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 New version of Xiaomi MiBox coming to a store near you soon........ (US only) https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-box-4-remote-google-assistant-netflix-button/
mastrmind11 722 Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 sweet, hopefully the 3 will get a nice 15-20% price drop so I can add a couple more to my collection.
tdiguy 99 Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 One issue i have run into with the new oreo update is that it seems like performance degrades over time. When i first power it up it can play live tv from emby just fine for a day or 2 without issue. Day 3 though performance starts to really drop off, rebooting corrects this very readily. I think i am going to connect the mi box up to my smart strip so it powers off with the tv.

tdiguy 99 Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 No CEC? My tv is does not support cec. I thought it was the mi box at first because i have seen people have issues with it, so i plugged the fire tv into my bedroom tv and it still did not work. 1

joggs 24 Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) It is not working as of 2018-08-19, and does not seem to be fixed in the nearest betas either. If you read the forum post you link to, the fix is for auto RESOLUTION (not refreshrate) which is a bug where the autoresolution setting always defaults to 720p 60hz, which you fix by disabling autoresolution and sets the resolution manually. There is no simple way to root the device and try the 905x chipset framerate fix apps either. I will return my xiaomi box tomorrow, as everyting i try stutters and the refreshrate doesn't change no matter what you do. Edited August 19, 2018 by joggs
