I just went to check the devices section of netflix and it has been seriously chopped down since the last time i checked. No mention of roku, amazon fire etc under streaming media players, no mention of any xbox under gaming consoles. Im almost positive a month ago the mi box was listed on that page. (Edit: just realised it redirects me to an Australian site, might be different for the US site)
Mutagen if your talking about the Mi box it is netflix HD and 4k certified. If your talking about some other amlogic android box then no its not.

I will have a detailed rundown tomorrow of what is working and also the Android 6.0.1 Firmware, that is causing problems for Kodi.

• Well built quality little device, Xiaomi really should have called it the "Saucer" - its not a box !
  
• The Android TV OS launcher and its specifically designed for TV, easy to use Apps, no damn Air Mice needed.
  
• The ultra responsive - Bluetooth Voice Remote really is excellent - in fact the best on the market for Android TV.
  
• A snappy device for $69, when navigating around the ATV GUI and Kodi.
  
• Chromecast / Googlecast built.
  
• 5.1 DD+ 4K - reliable Netflix confirmed working when connected to DD+ HDCP2.2 capable AVR / TV.
  
• 5.1 / 7.1 AC3 / DD+ / Dolby Atmos/TrueHD, DTS:X/HD-Master Audio passthrough confirmed working with Kodi Krypton
  
• 8/10bit 720/1080p playback is fine.
  
• AC WiFi is excellent, with great WiFi receiver sensitivity, no issues streaming 1080p Blurays via a MIMO Apple Extreme (N) router.
  
• There is an undocumented IR receiver, hidden on the front lower edge of the Mi Box.
  
• Harmony IR remotes programmed as a Xiaomi Mi Box3 mirror exactly the included Bluetooth remote functions.
  
• Tested out an old, (relatively power inefficient) 500GB 2.5" Hard Drive and have no issues with it running reliably on the Mi Box from the USB2 port due to the Mi Box's 5.2V / 2.0 Amp power pack.
  
• ASIX AX88772 Chipset - USB to Ethernet Adapters such as this cheap (Apple clone) one have been confirmed working on the Mi Box
  
• Other ASIX AX compatible adapters listed HERE and HERE

• All Android TV devices will only output Netflix 5.1 DD+ Audio when HDMI connected to a DD+ capable AVR / TV. DD only, HDMI connected Audio equiptment will result in 2.0 PCM only audio.
  
• 99% of Android devices cannot Auto Resolution switch 1080p/4K for optimal quality picture outputs on a 4K TV.
  
• Chromecasting is not that reliable on Android TV devices vs proper Google Chromecasting Hardware.
  
• NO dynamic refresh rate switching.
  You can still switching TV refresh rates manually in Android settings for 23.976 / 29.97 / 59.94fps video output.
  
• You will NOT get ultra smooth Kodi / Plex video playback. 3:2 Pulldown judder is evident for those sensitive to this type of video playback.
  
• Problematic Hardware deinterlacing when using Kodi/SPMC and TvHeadend. Use TvHeadend Live Channels App but you will still have poor deinterlaced picture quality.
  
• Workaround - SPMC TvHeadend - Software De-Interlacing tips for SD mpeg2 OTA TV - click HERE
  
• This device is locked down tight with Android SELinux, you cannot Root it. So I cannot even test my Bluetooth PS3 controller for compatibility. It will not work via a USB connection either. Other Android controllers reported to work fine. (see Reddit).
  
• Unless users have good home - N or AC WiFi - then 4K Netflix video streaming needs Ethernet for reliability. A USB to Ethernet adapter should be used. A reminder Android Settings > Display > Screen Resolution - need to be set to a 4K2K resolution.

• Because the Mi Box does not have a LAN/Ethernet port, High Bitrate 4K video with HD Audio - Kodi playback will be unreliable even when using a USB > Ethernet adapter. Do NOT buy the Mi Box for 4K Kodi video streaming !

Koying....Will you create a version of. SPMC to work with the Mi Box meaning adding features and possibly hd audio? Thanks

That's interesting... I checked again today, not a single main10 HEVC video (1080p or 2160p) plays properly with SPMC. What is the version of SPMC that you were using?

Update: All of them play without issues on SPMC 16.4.81. It is 16.4.2 that has issues.
