RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - dermo33 - 2017-01-16 (2017-01-16, 13:51)wrxtasy Wrote: I don't see any Hijacking going go, you are in the correct thread Thanks for the quick reply. Looks like this box is well supported. Maybe these issues will get ironed out with future updates. Maybe an update to Nougat is what this device needs. Looking forward yo gettting it now and testing it out. RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - timstephens24 - 2017-01-17 (2017-01-16, 13:51)wrxtasy Wrote: I've just done a retest of 4K HEVC test clips, and the Mi Box is not as reliable at all playing back a wide range of varied 4K HEVC clips vs my C2 running LibreELEC Krypton. What clips did you test and how do you have your Mi Box connected to your network? Just wondering, I'll test when I get back from a business trip, but I haven't had an issue with 4K Netflix, so since that's really the only thing that I'm playing 4K HEVC on I probably won't care about the rest until I can rip my UHD BluRays. RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - wrxtasy - 2017-01-17 Here are a whole bunch of 4K test clips and links: http://kodi.wiki/view/Samples I'm GigaE connected, then WiFi to Mi Box, with a pretty large SPMC video Cache. In reality its not a big deal. They are test clips. 4K Netflix is more important. As I said I did not test 4K Netflix, so its good that you are reporting no problems with 4K Netflix Streaming as that will answer @dermo33 original question. RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - timstephens24 - 2017-01-17 So I should have been more verbose in why I ask that question and streaming 4K Netflix.... I think it's going to depend on how people have their network setup. Since it's only WiFi, there's an issue where you might not get a good enough WiFi connection to reliably stream 4K Netflix. I also had issues when I was using an ethernet USB adapter where the quality would come and go, since it's USB 2.0. You're really going to want to have the Mi Box in the same room as your 802.11AC access point. See my results here: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=275083&pid=2433345#pid2433345 I haven't retested them with the new firmware update, but I can look into doing that this weekend. RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - wrxtasy - 2017-01-17 Netflix in 4K uses HEVC compression and streams and uses DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP). Even 1080p Netflix using a 4K Netfix subscription sometimes streams using lower bitrate HEVC, which is good if you have a marginal Internet connection / WiFi with limited bandwidth. I've seen reports of only needing 15Mbps for 4K / 23.976fps Netflix streaming content to needing 25Mbps for 4K / 60fps content. 802.11 5Ghz N & AC WiFi can easily handle those. USB2 as well. Yes a reliable Network setup is very important. I've seen your results. You make no mention of the USB2 > Ethernet - Chipset you are using. ASIX AX88772 adapters ones are the ones most compatible with Xiaomi Hardware. RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - timstephens24 - 2017-01-17 I did in the very next post. RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - wrxtasy - 2017-01-17 Ahh sorry missed that. I did find this Web Page with some usefull info: http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Ethernet_adapters Looks like the TP-Link EU300, uses a RTL8153 Chipset. http://www.gigandabit.com.au/html/product.php?id=E-TL-UE300 RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - wesk05 - 2017-01-17 (2017-01-17, 07:13)wrxtasy Wrote: Ahh sorry missed that.Just so that you know: (2016-11-15, 05:25)wesk05 Wrote: I have not tested any USB Hub/Ethernet, but I have tested this Anker USB Gigabit adapter and it works fine. It should probably work fine with other adapters with ASIX AX88179 chipset. I have also tested another USB Gigabit adapter with Realtek RTL8153 chipset and that doesn't work. RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - sandogo1 - 2017-01-17 Anyone know of a better keyboard type remote that has a working mic built in that will work with the Mi Box RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - paradigmGT - 2017-01-17 I want to control this box with my Logitech K400 wireless USB keyboard/mouse combo, as well as plug in my WD 2.5" portable hard-drive via USB. Seeing as there is only one USB input, would a USB hub work with this device? Or is there another box as good as this but with two or more USB ports? RE: Xiaomi 4K HDR 'Mi Box' (Android TV set-top box) - zenguy - 2017-01-17 Nothing seems simple with this little baby. Loving it anyway. I want to use an usb ethernet adapter. I've been reading around in the thread I can't seem to figure whether a tp-link ue300 would be a good choice some say it's great but if I understand correctly others are saying the chipset is not a good choice. What do you guys think?

I think the dirt, cheap unpowered one I use cost $4 from Ebay. I've had a 2.5" HDD and a Wireless USB dongle working just fine.
