Xiaomi Mi Box / Mi Box S [Android TV OS]

[Sumen]

Since the last update my Mi Box no longer starts up from sleep mode if it has been in that state for more than a few hours, and the TTV app now has continuous lip-sync issues. The latter though could just be the app itself, seeing as the dev has made it clear he intends for it to be shut down.

Aside from that, no other major complaints.

A reset will fix that

Netflix streamed well but on two occasions picture froze while sound continued, then the picture fast forwards to catch up with the sound.

Thank you!!! I thought I was the only one that has that Netflix issue. Experience the same thing now and then. Its only happened a handful of times so not a major issue for me. Also havent had it since the latest update but that could be because of various reasons.

Hi there

What speeds are you getting with this Orico adaptor,

I noted some adaptors have speed limitations and don't necessarily give you the full speed of your fibre

Thanks

I bought this one from Takealot: https://www.takealot.com/orico-usb2-0-fast-ethernet-adapter/PLID45215490
On MM it worked fine however the box needed to be restarted each time it woke from sleep to detect it. However since the Oreo update, it works perfectly and wakes and connects when the box is turned on from sleep.

Thanks Stiller,

I'm looking at the Orico Usb 2.0 without additional ports. Badtrev what speeds are you getting?

Did you have to install any drivers and are you still on MM or Oreo? Which build?

Also full speed on the ce-link and it has 2 drives plus a wireless adaptor plugged in.

Little engine that could.

Yeah it's a great little product. Well built.
The packaging was neat, too. Kind of felt like I was opening a type of jewelry box. lol

I am on Oreo, not sure of the build number, but I do have the latest update. I only have a 4Mb line, but I get full speed. And I actually have the Ethernet adapter connected to a hub that's connected directly to Mi Box. I didn't isntall any drivers, just plugged in and it worked.

Speed test app on aptoide, but it displays horizontally on your screen and you need a mouse.

You should check out their cellphones as well. Well built and great value for money. My wife and myself have a Xiaomi phone.

Install Set Orientation app to correct the display to landscape
