I have very little to complaint about this Box I only use it to do net streaming and for that purpose I have not had any problems. I do not use it to play ripped movies from blueray discs. So for me it has been a decent experience.

I have 3 of the original Mi Box and all running Oreo 8.0
Basic streaming and Kodi.
I have not had any problems at all.

Hello,

I'm using a Targus USB 3.0 ethernet hub, the usb devices work without any issues, however the ethernet seems to have issues on the Oreo build. I plugged in the ethernet cable, it worked fine for few hours then it disconnected and refused to connect again. If I disable the WIFI it connects again on the cable but without internet access.

Anything else I can do other than waiting for the next update ?

The audio codec issue that plagues the S model is coming your way (non S members) based on the developer remarks.

Watch out for your next update.

Mine worked perfectly until the Oreo update, Its never been the same since. Sluggish and Kodi is unusable with my attached HD. Piece of crap.

connected trough toslink with an old Sony receiver, and enabling passtrough in Kodi Leia RC3, I can listen Netflix DD+ transcoded to DD.

Mibox 4K, Kodi Leia, Netflix add-on and U get Netflix DD 5.1 optical output? No audio drops like normal DD+ on Mibox? Wow!

No answer, sooo... Is it a fake post or some misunderstand?

 I think that some of the random positive posts in here that surround actual complaints are probably Xiaomi plants - it doesn't make sense - why would anyone praise a box that is so obviously defective.  I guess it's a decent device if you have a standalone TV from the early 2000s, no audio system, and no desire to watch recently encoded content.

I'm not a plant and don't appreciate being called that.
How would you like to be called an idiot that doesn't know what you are doing?

Bad post my friend!

In and around discussion regarding Xiaomi restricting TrueHD and DTS-HD passthrough on an upcoming update to your 3 owned Mi Boxes, and the fact that it is already missing from the Mi Box S - you responded with adoration for your Mi Box.

This is America and I respect your right to free speech.
I doubt that you'll find much support here so you may just want to move on.
I wouldn't give you the time of the day.

This is the internet   I believe I have accurately described our conversation.

No news about official update since beta test is available  ?
I'm waiting for auto frame rate

 Exactly I have no desire to play ripped blue-ray (which is ilegal) content and I have no audio system, I have a TCL 4k tv and I only use it to watch streaming services and the legal video addons for that I have had no problems. wrxtasy advice has been always invaluable. To be clear about the blue ray ripping
"The moment you crack DRM (Digital Rights Managemnt) to rip the DVD or Blue-ray, you've violated Title I of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. 17 U.S.C. 1201 prohibits circumvention of DRM . . . Some courts have tried to leaven this rather harsh rule, but most have not. While it's typically hard to detect small-scale circumvention, the question is whether bypassing DRM is legal. The statute sets up some minor exceptions, but our ripper doesn't fall into any of them. So, the moment a studio protects the DVD with DRM, it gains both a technical and a legal advantage—ripping is almost certainly unlawful."

I'm not sure I understand what your desire to consume legal content has to do with the technical deficiency of the Mi Box S (and upcoming changes to similarly neuter the Mi Box).

There are many legitimate sources of content with high resolution audio.  Atmos/3D sound is provided by Netflix via Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA audio (one example only).

I applaud your strict following of the "Digital Millennium Copyright Act.", but your description of such has literally added zero value to this conversation.  Do you work for Xiaomi?  Why are you shilling their product?

You started attacking and slandering people that had no problem with this box.
