Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - banesi - 2017-12-30 I have not found any noticable performance improvement with spmc and mibox. RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - kdnoel - 2017-12-31 I prefer and recommend SPMC on the Mi Box. Just saying....

These files are streamed locally, as everything is stored in a NAS. The ISP cannot be involved... Also, if I stream from my laptop everything works fine and Kodi never has the need to buffer, so I don't think it's the NAS to be honest. My suspicion is that the 5ghz bad on the mibox is the culprit... RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - woronczak - 2018-01-03 (2018-01-03, 14:29)gianrond Wrote:Wifi on the MiBox is average. Much more solid connection with USB Lan adapter as discussed earlier in this thread. We have a good router maybe 3m from a MiBox (admittedly there is part of a wall in the way) and the signal is not very good / stable (for streaming bluray rips from a local server), whereas from a laptop / Wetek Play 2, it is fine. The only way I could get reliable & fast wifi connection was to have a router literally next to the MiBox (hence much better to use the USB Lan adapter). Wifi might be OK for Youtube / Netflix but for higher bitrate files, you can't beat cable.(2018-01-03, 04:47)NotSoRighteous Wrote:Hi,(2017-12-31, 13:48)gianrond Wrote: Any thoughts?Its not your box or connection.

Not DolbyDigital RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - gianrond - 2018-01-10 I ended up getting the new Apple TV 4k. Wow. What a difference. The streaming from NAS is superb and so is the smoothness of the playback. Sad to say, miles ahead of the mibox. Thanks for those of you that supported me! RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - SalzBrezel - 2018-01-12 Hello Everyone I can't get TrueHD nor DTS-HD passtrough working with my MDZ-16-AB box. Mainly I want the AVR to play the Dolby Atmos Tracks, I've been trying to find a solution for my issue in the last couple of days since I got the box, but without any success. So far I've tried to reinstall Kodi, factory reset the Mi box, switched HDMI Cables and Ports on AVR. But no matter what I do i can't see the Settings (in Expert Mode) for TrueHD or DTS-HD. Also tried SPMC, but as soon as I set the passtrough output device to IEC passtrough there is no sound at all in Videos Don't really want to upgrade to Android Nougat, as there are no official downloads available for the beta. My gear: Xiaomi Mi Box: MDZ-16-AB (got it from gearbest) Android: 6.0.1 build: once-user 6.0.1 MOB31Z 1304 Kodi: 17.6 (Directly from Playstore) AVR: Samsung HW-K950 Hope someone can tell me it's some simple tick somewhere in the settings Thanks for any help in advance! Cheers, SalzBrezel Note 1: Netflix 4k works so far. RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - wrxtasy - 2018-01-12 Is "Sync Plackback to Display" enabled in Kodi Video settings ? That is a guaranteed Passthrough audio Killer !

Only thing need is auto refresh rate switching. RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - SalzBrezel - 2018-01-12 I've been trying to use SPMC but as soon as I set the passthrough to IEC, there is no audio at all in videos and the RAW passthrough doesn't seem to support TrueHD. Also just checked if it's an issue with the soundbar, but it seems to work fine and switches directly to Dolby Atmos mode when I start an Dolby Atmos video from my Asus Chrome Box with LibreElec/Kodi on it. Still open for other inputs. RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - SalzBrezel - 2018-01-17 Just a quick Update. I manually installed all the old versions of Kodi 17.x, with 17.3 and 17.4 I can at least see the TrueHD option, but I won't get any sound when watching Dolby Atmos content. With 17.5 the options for TrueHD and DTS-HD vanish, perhaps because of the changes in this file (AESinkAUDIOTRACK.cpp on Github)? Also I found that the nVidia Shield used to have kinda the same issue which was solved with a firmware update see Shield forum post. Is there a list of Xiaomis firmware upgrades for the Mi Box just to make sure I am running the newest software? @acefr You have a similar setup as I have with Mi Box and Samsung HW-K950, does your setup still run wihtout any issues with the newest updates/software? UPDATE: Dolby Atmos works now perfectly, alltough still not with the Mi Box but with the Nvidia Shield TV I got. In the end the Mi Box was a pretty decent Android Box for 4K and I would have kept if it wasn't for the Dolby Atmos. Anyway, thanks for the inputs @wrxtasy & @SWADED |
