Hi everyone,

I desperately need help.

Purchased Xiao Mi Tv Box 3S (Android 6.0 Smart TV BOX 2G 8G Quad Core 4K Set-top Box BT 4.1+EDR 5G Wifi Smart Media Player Dolby DTS)
Installed Kodi from kodi.tv, from shafa market, aptiode, tried older versions and new ones, it still doesn't work
The issue is when I start playing any video content from addons such as TLC.de etc video stops and mi box kicks me back to the waiting screen.
I have already restored Mi box to factory settings, tried to untick acceleration and whatever settings I found on youtube, I can't make it work
It crashes in approximately 3 minutes

Help me please

This could be just the Addon - Kodi seems to be working. Try playing local video and see if it works?

Just checked it with an old .avi cartoon - works fine

Played HD .mkv file, failed in 3 minutes .
What is wrong with my Kodi?

Nothing wrong with Kodi but very likely everything wrong with the Firmware on your device.

As an example the Android TV OS - USA Spec - Mi Box (Model MDZ-16-AB) has no crashing issues running Kodi 16.x / SPMC Jarvis or Kodi Krypton.

Help with Firmware for your device would be found here:

Try installing SPMC (Kodi Jarvis) from a USB stick, the armeabi-v7a version:

Installed from USB stick, still the same, crashed in 3 minutes

BTW my Box model - MDZ-19-AA, Chinese version

Honestly I'm quite happy with firmware, everything works fine (airplay, the same video from usb playing with no issues, movies and tv shows from chinese resources), everything! but KODI

debug log (wiki)

I would love to...
LogLife doesn't give me the link
And advanced button does't work for me

Removed Smpc, Installed Kodi 17.3 just to be able to share log.
the first video Cake Boss worked fine, no issues at all. I stoped it at 12th minute.
The second one kicked me out again.
Anyway, here is the LOG

I appreciate your help !
I'm pretty sure it's called cake boss or something like that .
The video it in German and it has german name.

Upd

I noticed that CPU3 reaches 100% rights before the video stops

Try updating it to the Global version as described in this thread:

Thanks for your suggestion!
I'm not stuck with chinese version, i am a chinese speaker and purchased it to have access to chinese movies and tv shows.

The only thing that bothers me is that my Kodi doesn't work properly.
