Yeah, that'll work too. But you do need a separate computer (or a Rpi) to run the pi-hole service, and it's yet another thing to manage. I much prefer to just run Ad-away on my FireTV and have it work locally.

XDA guys are working on a root, but it's been several months and still nothing really solid.

Please post if you find a stable root, or PM me.

Anyone know how to get installed apps show on home screen? I have a couple of apps installed from downloaded apk, and they only show in Setting>apps.

Install the Sideload Launcher App and that will then open a folder of all the non-leanback (regular Android) installed Apps.

Make sure you're on the updated firmware and Android TV Launcher is updated (have to manually force the update in the play story). I get my side loaded Movie Player to show on the home screen, otherwise I use Kodi to launch apps

My MiBOX got OTA today 557.3MB... lets see if some bugs resolved...

Still no refresh rate switching C'mon Xiaomi!
The title is Netflix DRM patch and security update, so I suspect it has more to do with that stuff (while i never had problems with Netflix, I understand lots of people did). In my brief checking, there is nothing super visible.

Cool. Any news on MPEG2 video quality improvement? I'll try to test it later if there's no feedback yet (to see if this thing will continue collecting dust in my setup).

10bit non-HDR HEVC playback is fixed! SPMC plays mine perfectly now.

The whole box seems more snappy to me.

Does this include files played over the network?

Last I read, that was an outstanding issue (not visible with local files via USB...)

Damn I just checked and no update for me. Wonder if they are doing a rolling update.

Scratch that I had to restart and check again.

Also can confirm 10bit HEVC is working. Oh happy day!!

My playback worked on 10bit HEVC from my NAS

Yes confirmed as well.

All previous 10bit HEVC content that produced green playback screens previously now plays just fine - and yes across a local Home Network. No need for SPMC / MX Player workarounds anymore for regular non-HDR 10 bit HEVC.

All Xiaomi need to give us now is Refresh Switching.

BTW: 1080p mpeg2 / H264 hardware deinterlacing does work when using this test version of Kodi Leia on the Mi Box.

Oh man. Netflix still not fixed after the update. Still getting the tvq-pm-100 error on one of my two boxes. <sigh>
