Mine shows HDR 5.1 . I just bought this today and flashed 7.0 1035 build

See attached pictures
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] buggyglint:
Are you using HDMI for 5.1 or Toslink from the MiBox? I have my MiBox connected via HDMI into my TVs (ARC) HDMI and my tv outputs Toslink to my receiver.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] minieod:
hdmi from the mi box to the tv (vizio e-series 2017).

i want to use arc on my tv. but vizio decided to put hdr and arc on the same port - my sound bar only has an hdmi out, so im using optical for that
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Resolute:
Is 5.1 working if you connect mibox to Soundbar or sound system with toslink?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] minieod:
Mibox --- HDMI ---> tv --- toslink ---> sound bar

I keep the sound bar connected to the tv so other devices can use it, too.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Resolute:
Do you have mini toslink connector?

Can you test 5.1 with directly connecting mibox to sound bar or sound system?

If it works I will upgrade to noguat.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] minieod:
No. I don't
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Resolute:
Thanks.

If anyone have mini toslink and mibox on noguat can test it?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mikipiki118:
Just flash nougat 1028 and try for yourself. Believe me there is nothing to lose only gain. Nougat is flying compared to MM and stable like never before, on MM I had to reboot for various reasons every few days - now running for 14days non stop without issues. When final comes out just update to it, until then stick to 1028

Just my advice..
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Sammy_S:

Just to be sure, Mi box does still not support 4K's netflix right?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bigtalker:
Not sure where or why you are putting forth this misinformation.

No question about it, the MiBox has the inherent ability, DRM licenses, and resources to stream 4K from Netflix.

It is known to work perfectly for hundreds of thousand of Netflix users.

Question is, do you have 1-proper Neflix account level, 2-sufficient internet bandwidth, and, most critically, an output device that supports HDCP 2.x. You can confirm this by running drminfo.apk on MiBox while connected directly to your device. Try all your possible HDMI ports.

If you still are not able to stream 4K from Netflix, please refer to output data from drminfo. Such readings are authoritative.

Likely you have quirky or non-existant DRM implementation on your output device. What make, model and year is your chosen output device?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] blop135:
Ok I'll check when I get my 4K's TV back but I read somewhere that it was non compatible a time ago that's why but if it works cool then ;)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kuspe:
Hi, I installed 1035 yesterday to be able to use Netflix's HDR.

HDR is working alright, but unfortunately I can't get the MIBOX to output BT2020 color space. It only outputs REC709, which is a HD, not a 4k HDR standard.

The result is I'm getting washed out colors with HDR. Is there any workaround or is this a beta limitation?

My guess is Netflix is outputting 4k BT2020 HDR but the MIBOX3 is converting it to REC709, resulting in poor colors....

Answering the previous posts about who would have a 4k TV that doesn't have a Netflix application, this is the case of most projectors.. So, if you are not using a TV, Mibox's Netflix is important.

Cheers!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] akiaki1:
I have and I cant get 5.1 audio no matter the settings. Stereo works, no dd, dd+ or dts.

Cant use hdmi since on nougat mibox pushes hdcp 2.2 if box is connected to avr and my tv is 1080p so I get cannot display error from the avr.

Direct hdmi to tv works but arc is only stereo.

To be honest, Im getting fed up with this box. I never ranted but lack of updates killed this box and xiaomi reputation for me. I dont care the reasons why. Lousy support, audio lroblems, video stuttering, no refresh change, I mean come on. This was a test, not a product. I also blame google and androidtv as undeveloped, no clear direction, and I was a fan!

Cant wait to get my lg oled and forget about boxes and android, only thing ill miss is casting :(

EDIT: 5.1 started working in KODI all by itself. Netflix still only stereo output..
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bigtalker:
Confused.......what is the output device you are using??TV, AV system or projector? Please specify
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bigtalker:
I am willing to bet that the rest of your video setup eclipses the $69 cost of the Mibox by several orders of magnitude.

Your grasp of DRM implementation, or lack thereof, among various audio/video manufacturers is the main issue that afflicts your setup.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kuspe:
I'm using a epson 5040 projector through a denon X4300.

My ps4 outputs hdr bt2020. No luck with mibox 1035 beta though. Only getting hdr rec709 (tried 1080p, 4k 24hz and 4k 60hz). Also, disabling hdr via mibox settings doesn't change a thing. Netflix still outputs hdr when available.

Has anyone been able to get BT2020 color space with the 1035 beta?

Update: with the 1028 I was able to get BT2020. Nonetheless, Mibox only outputs 8bit color with the betas. Since BT2020 HDR demands 10bit, in my set colors are not right when Netflix's HDR kicks in.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] akiaki1:
And the cost matters how? If a manufacturer says something should work with their product we should only buy expensive ones? I bought a cheap box promising up to and 4k hdr playback, instead I've got a box which cant playback 1080p properly since it cannot auto switch to 24p or 50p or 60p, and even if you do you get jerky playback. But I guess $70 is the problem, right? Not the software? Or lack of one...

Explain to me then why on MM mibox downgrades hdcp to 1.4, and on Nougat it forces 2.2? DRM implementations depands on software version number??

Same setup - mibox -> AVR -> TV. Please, can't wait to hear this one since I cannot grasp it obviously.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bigtalker:
Your Mibox is designed to match the device it is directly connected with. It has absolutely no awareness of devices connected further downstream.

If you want to gripe, start with your AVR and TV manufacturer.

The MiBox is using the exact same DRM licenses and implementation as first appeared on MM build 540 back in August 2016. Byte for byte same drm code from beginning until today, even with Nougat beta versions.

I only made reference to relative cost between the equipment to highlight the fact that some makers of higher cost equipment have failed abysmally in their implementation of well documented DRM specifications.

Not only have factories royally screwed up DRM, they have proven to be even more incompetent in deploying something so simple as CEC, which only deals with power on/off and volume controls.

MiBox does not suffer from such inconsistencies in either DRM or CEC as they conform EXACTLY to the unadulterated industry specifications.

My real world testbed is a deployment of over 250 MiBoxes running with an astounding array of TVs from A to Z. You would be amazed at the results of my controlled tests which are confined to Netflix, one of the most stringent enforcers of end-to-end DRM compliance.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] akiaki1:
The problem is, my Mibox worked with hdcp 1.4 on MM, and now on Nougat it forces hdcp 2.2 with same exact setup from the beginning.

I know we all hate hdcp and DRM, but, I should be getting video from my box since my tv supports hdcp 1.4 as it worked on MM rom even though the first link is AVR with hdcp 2.2 support, so if anything changed, DRM control changed on Nougat, nothing changed in my avr or my tv which sucks.

And what sucks even more is that I could live with that if the toslink worked like it is suppose to, but that is also broken now. I do realize this is beta software, but I am not the only one who noticed the change, which is by reports from the first beta. Cant wait the final version to have this and then you will see a lot more unhappy users if they don't correct this, IMHO wrong behavior of hdcp chain sync.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] flipside101:
Yep I'm seeing the same , my setup worked fine on MM but nougat fails unless I put a old HDMI splitter box in between the MiBox and the AVR , as this box either doest support hdcp or supports the older hdcp and not 2.2 the link is downgraded and a picture is displayed

Setup not including splitter

MiBox(hdcp2.2) - AVR (hdcp2.2) - TV (hdcp1.4)

Setup including splitter

MiBox - splitter - AVR - TV
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] blop135:
So now that I received my 4K HDR TV, I can confirm that my Mi box doesn't allow Netflix to play 4K HDR, I have no logo nor HDR nor 4K in Netflix app while I have it on my Netflix's TV app
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bigtalker:
HDR in Netflix is only supported in Nougat beta build 1035. Not yet available to general public unless you flash the update, which is available on some internet sites. Search this forum....

What is the exact model number of your MiBox?

What firmware build version are you running?

If you have a beta Nougat update, your box will not install MM updates.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] dubedollars:
I did this and it won't boot into recovery. I hold the command and after the mi screen it goes black (like it does when going into recovery) but just reboots at the mi screen before loading into android. I ordered a USB hub and I'm waiting for it to come in the mail. My mi box tried to install the mm update over the nougat beta 9 times in a row on a boot loop scenario pretty much. Annoying as hell. Kinda wish I'd never of installed the beta in the first place.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Munkee915:
I updated my box with build 1028 and went smooth the first time. Only issue I'm having now is PS vue is seeing the device as rooted and wont play. Anyone know of a workaround for this? Honestly I only did this so I could make some system edits to get my wireless 360 dongle to work properly. Once I do that I'm ok with losing root completely.

Edit: Found the solution. Ran this and now Vue no longer sees the device as rooted.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] timblaktu:
Anyone using BT keyboard with their MDZ-16-AB (running either 1028 or 1035), have any success with OS shortcuts? In particular, on mine running 1028 build, Alt+Tab will pull up the task list, but hitting it again will not cycle through the tasks (like it does on my Galaxy S7 running 7.0 using the same OMOTON android keyboard). No keys will cycle through the tasks, but if I use a mouse I can scroll through the tasks. There are several other physical keyboard misbehaviors and discrepancies (from my SGS7) that make me wonder if this is a problem with Android TV specifically, or the 1028 image. Just curious if anyone else can provide data points or information, before I "upgrade" to 1035. Thanks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] caduzada:
I am using this firmware (1028) but, even when i used android 6.0, my mi box 3 AB, restarts or freeze just a few moments when i use it. I upgraded to android 7.0 to see with this problem will be solved but no. Every time i use my mi box, using kodi or youtube, the box restarts or freeze. I dont know what i can do, i searched in the web and just find one guy that had the same problem and he didnt find any clue or help! I think that maybe is a heat problem but sometimes when the problem occurs the mi box is not hot!!! could anyone help me???

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] uplink.cu:
hello there... I brought my mdz-16-ab back to stock rom from the beta-update and his issues, now the problem is only Netflix, is not working, and the reason is because when I downgrade the Box from beta to 6 I lost my serial number, now is 0123456789ABCDEF... for the record I am using Netflix.apk from a regular phone and is working fine, but I need to change the serial number back, some one here know how do it?, I try a lot in google and nothing...

thanks a lot guys.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] alexinc:
It's written quite a lot in this forum: before downgrading you need to backup your kernel-partition which includes the necessary DRM information! ...and before you ask, no one may upload it's own backup, as DRM information is unique to each box.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] uplink.cu:
thanks fro answer, I don't have the backup, my bad, but I install netflix from AptoideTv and I can see it in full. DRMinfo say that all is fine, Just want to now if is some way to change the serial number of my device, my own serial is on the back of my Box...

thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] alexinc:
For now there is no known way to do so. The mobile Netflix app you're using now doesn't support HD and 5.1 as far as I know. Can't be compared to the Android TV app version.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] uplink.cu:
That's true... thanks again, I'll keep trying and I'll let here know if I find something to fix the problem... :good:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] RiTCHiE007:
The serial code on the box is not the same as the drm keys so if you lost them then you are screwed and only way to fix it is by cloning a box.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] enreka_tr:
ı have the exact same problem after sometime using it with external harddrive. Now I have both usb issues and random lags. Even sometimes when restarted device stutters like its cpu having a lot of load. dont know what to do. I was in 1028 then upgraded to 1560 beta and factory reset but no.

By saying "reset" you meant factory reset I suppose?

Thx
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] uplink.cu:
sound like a buy a new one, make a full backup and restore in the old one.

But I don't understand how you can change the serial number of the hardware, that's a little weird for me... I just update the ROM to a beta 7.0, but that's not a reason to do that... I dont remember how many ROMs I have installed on Android Phones and this is new for me. Out there is a App that let you change the serial# of the phone but is only temporal, as soon you reboot your phone the SN is back...

thanks

I wonder if the MiBox can handle Amazon prime video well. I have an old firetv stick and the hardware is really outdated now. Don't wana pay for another dongled stick from them again, just to throw it away after 2 years.

True?

There are several threads on androidtv reddit with various versions of Amazon prime, depending on the build installed. Also see xiaomi.eu mibox forums for similar ideas.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] amstrum:
HI!

I have an ATT Note 2 that I'm trying to get to work. It's in a boot loop on the ATT logo. While trying a factory reset and cache clear, I discovered that there was an error code in recovery mode: E: failed to mount / efs (invalid argument).

I looked on the internet and found a few potential solutions, so here's what I have done: flashed stock version 4.4.2 and TWRP version 3.0.2-0 onto the phone using Odin 3. I also rooted it by flashing (CF auto root?) as well. I then installed ADB version 1.4.3 onto my PC.

So I put the phone in recovery (TWRP) mode and went into "Mount," then "Mount/System." --and plugged it into the PC USB port. Next, I opened the Command Prompt and input: "adb devices"--perfect, it found the phone and knew it was in recovery mode.

Here's where I ran into trouble. When I input "adb shell," the next line came up, ~ # (backspace symbol)[6n with the cursor blinking next to the "n". That's as far as I have been able to go in the tutorials I have read/watched. I can find nothing about this code I am getting-- what it is, what it means, or what to do about it.

Now I don't know if where I was supposed to be headed would solve my problem but I would sure like to try. And the only way that will happen is if one of you guys either knows what this code is and what to do about it or has another approach to getting my etf files back.

I would appreciate any input you might offer. I want to finish messing with this phone one way or another--my struggling Note 4 is waiting in the wings!:laugh:
