Miboy from xiaomi.eu has provided some unofficial download mirrors of the latest beta build 1560 for MI Box 3 International (i.e MDZ-16-AB).. According to the statement, he was asked to released to the public by the tech team on xiaomi.

Here is the download links for build 1560

Reportedly it fixes the issue with Youtube

I have verified the signature of the zip file. It is signed using the same signature used on previous official builds. So, it's a legit build.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] quan0509:
Do you know what is the Youtube issue fixed in this version? Is it "hanging problem" on almost youtube video?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Thirumalai.K:
VP9 videos on Youtube works fine now. I have played for sometime [MENTION=921577]1080P[/MENTION]. There is no issues now.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] InvalidDNA:
All Youtube videos are now playing perfectly.

The last public build (1035) has broken the Youtube VP9 video playback. It's fixed now in 1560.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] flavien317:
Hi, we must download it or it can have OTA download ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] InvalidDNA:
After 1035, Xiaomi has switched to more closed OTA delivery.

OTA is currently available only to those who has signed up for closed beta.

You can just put it in your internal storage or a usb drive and manually update it through recovery mode.

If you are already in build 1035, it's better to update to this one. Else, just stay on official MM. Beta updates may have some known/unkown bugs (like what we have faced with build 1035)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] flavien317:
Allright thank you. Will i loose all my data if i update via USB ?

Thanks in advanced

Both of the links have been deleted. Also I am still a bit confused if the US version is the international version.

Can you please re-upload them?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] lifeisfun:
Upgraded to the 1560 build from MM, it was so great that I flashed another 2 boxes day later....

Well, now about a week later can't play anything using youtube app, it just freezes when the video starts or in better case (very rare) its supper choppy)

Tried to reset the you tube app. remove upgrade and then reinstall it, but nothing helps

Playing video from youtube using Chrome browser works fine, Addon in Kodi can't get pass the app verification when I like to sign in ( youtube plays fine though)

Any ideas ?

Help would be appreciated

Thanks

I got the same problem with v1028 build. All of sudden youtube app doesn't work any more. I had to uninstall all youtube app updates to get it work and switch screen resolution to 1080p 50hz to watch 60hz videos on youtube.

YouTube is now freezing for me as well as causing the Mibox to reboot itself MDZ-16-AB

Hi guys

Just joined as this seems to be the best place for mi box 3 updates

Updated to the "once-user 7.0 NBD91Z 924" build a good while ago, can you confirm for me please what the latest (stable) available software version is?

Don't wanna lose all my installed stuff though so how do i update via USB?

Thanks in advance
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] alexinc:
I uninstalled latest youtube update, cleared data and cache. Set mi box like adaptive hdmi and automatic screen detection. rebootet, logged in in old youtube everything was working, than i updated to latest version again and its working now too. i can only recommend to play with settings and uninstall, re-install again. it will work somehow! having 2 boxes over here and one was working all the time, the other one didn't. Now both are running quite good with build 1028.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] iNoad:
Is there another update?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] elliwigy:
pretty sure 1560 is the latest beta build
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] umairmalik2410:
How stable is this build? Also can someone tell me what the build date is? Im curious if xiaomi is still actively working on this
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] elliwigy:
i think 1560 they released in dec. but i havent been following it much
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] flipside101:
No newer builds , in fact theres a post on.the official forum where miboy seems to say he has suggested 1560 to be put forward as a release candidate
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Vihru:
can you link it?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] the face:
It´s a horrible firmware, that idiot in the unofficial xiaomi forum clearly has no idea and doesn´t care except about his ego. The build is running on two cores instead of all four, adb is disabled, there are problems with YouTube, still no automatic framerate switching, choppy playback, voice commands barely working... and so on. The only positive point is that WiFi performance seems to be a bit better compared to the other beta versions. Since they are deleting a lot of posts and banning almost everyone raising critical points, you won´t read much about all that in that useless forums. Fact is that a lot of people were really disappointed and downgraded back to stable MM. Releasing this version as final would be a joke. Seriously, I can only warn anyone to use that version.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bigtalker:
Would you like some cheese to go with your W(h)INE??

Negative reports such as those you rant about are virtually non-existent with US based customers.

There were over 250,000 downloads of that beta. How many of those 250,000 voiced any issues in the xiaomi.eu forum?

You are certainly entitled to kvetch about your individual experiences but to suggest it was a total fail is not supported by the insignificant number of legitimate complaints registered on the original forum.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] hoang51:
Thanks for the download link for the Nougat 1560 build. It was a pain in the butt to get the Mi Box into recovery mode, but it took a few tries of holding the back button and the center button on the remote control while plugging the power cable back into Mi Box.

My reason for updating two of my Mi Box (US version) was that a couple to maybe a few weeks back, a bunch of x265 encoded videos were playing fine when all the sudden they became choppy. The following episode was out of sync with the audio. It was really strange because the episodes that I've previously watched were fine. So I went back to check to make sure it was not a video file issue, it turns out that the previous watched episodes started to stutter. So either the Mi Box got updated to a buggy release (Android 6.0.1 build 1304), Kodi v17.6 changed it's video decoding method since v17.4, or I encountered a bug and couldn't reverse it. So I took the risk to update the Mi Box to Android "Nougat" 7.0 build 1560 and that fixed the x265 stuttering problem.

Hope this helps anybody out with x265 video stuttering problem. I have yet to test other parts of the Mi Box features, such as the infamous YouTube issue.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Tessa33a:
which shows that Europeans are smarter than Americans, I say it without acrimony but I say it :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jfchandler:
Could use some advice here. I've got a U.S. version Mi Box purchased direct from Xiaomi's US website a couple years ago. Running the latest official firmware, no flashing done by me thus far.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but reading here and in other threads over time, it doesn't seem like there has been any beta firmware upgrade release for the Mi Box thus far that's been clean and without substantial problems of one sort or another.

If my impression about that is wrong, then what beta upgrade among the many would be considered reasonably clean and not likely to break a bunch of stuff on my existing box and installs?

thanks...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] bigtalker:
You, being in the US, will not be subject to the foibles mainly affecting users from other regions.

What are you trying to accomplish? With the exception of improved CEC found in all beta versions and addition of Netflix HDR, not much to be gained, aside from bragging rights.

updated to 1560.

everything jitters now.

All streams but also IPTV are stuutering like crazy.

Downgrade and everything is working normal again except Chromecast errors on some mobile apps.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] AHAFollow:
Did you downgrade to MM or just to a previous version of Nougat ? I'm having lots of issues too. (Especially black bars that are pixelated. See here).
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tnicko:
Been running the 1560 build for a little over a week now. Gotta say that I haven't had that many issues. The only thing I've noticed is the colored snow affect sometimes in SPMC just like AHAFollow linked. But I'm able to reboot the MiBox and it's fine after that.

Perhaps I'm not as picky but it seems to be fine. Youtube works fine but is a little cumbersome searching for videos and sometimes freezes. But I really don't use YT. I only fired it up because folks mentioned it wasn't running well. I strictly use the MiBox for SPMC, Vue and YouTube TV. I'm also running just 1080p with no HDR or 4k.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] chrisn812:
Are you sideloading YouTubeTV or does the Play store now say YTTV is supported and available to install? Would love to get YTTV on my MiiBox but sideloading it doesnt work nearly as well.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tnicko:
Yes, sideloading. I'm using version 1.04.06 without any issues. I'm overseas and my internet is utter crap but still after a bit, I'm able to get a kinda watchable picture :p The interface lags a little bit but I'm attributing that to the slow ass internet taking a while to load.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] flipside101:
mm build 1901
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mminoss:
thanks, and in 7.0? Because i need PiP function
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] flipside101:

Thanks for your answer. Last question ? i heard it Will have an official oreo 8.0. It s true ?

who knows , rumour was N was being skipped and Oreo would be out in March. frankly ill belive it when i see it until then make do and mend :)

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] flipside101:
sorry but no I can't recommend it as there are too many random things that could go askew. Id suggest reading the threads here and in the hardware discussion section in the Kodi forums. That should give you a taster of the issues others are seeing, though it worth noting those without issues are never as vocal as those with

You can side load apps directly or use the Aptoide TV store, the TV APP REPO app will create shortcuts for those apps that are not leanback aware.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mminoss:
Thanks you ! It means Arlo or mihome app will work on android tv?

it means you can load them and try

This ****ed my Mi Box. Had to revert to 6.0 to get a working machine back. Not worth a try.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Cisco408ca:
To you which one is the most stable? I wanna flash mine but I'm afraid too if it's not worth it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] pjgowtham:
Reason why i switched from nougat :

I use MI box for PLEX and KODI. It simply couldnt play any DTS-HD / ATMOS files properly because of the "disabled cores" i guess?

There is problem also with WIFI since the same DTS- HD file through usb played smoother ( I thought problem was with underpowered router and bought xiaomi R3P router, problem persisted )

Youtube stuck on older versions on latest nougat. Since it crashes with latest versions.

HDCP issue. I cant connect it properly with my AV receiver. MM worked well.

Scrolling fast freezes UI and requires manual reboot

Abandoned Updates by Xiaomi.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] scottyd035ntknow:
Mini bump, so nobody would recommend finding a 1560 file and loading to the MiBox? I do know they have Oreo done for this thing... I really wish they'd release it already... Only thing I have issues from on the fully updated Marshmallow MiBox is stupid sideloaded Amazon Video from the Shield. Picture is like... smushed and "narrow" if that makes sense. But not a big deal since my Samsung TV with TizenOS has the latest Prime app on it. I'd just rather have everything in one spot. Everything else does work really well, I honestly don't know why ppl buy other Android boxes than this besides the Shield.

Basically nothing. Its just a tag. The point of official is basically incremental or ota updates. Nothing else.

In official, the dev cannot differ from rom sources. In unofficial roms, devs can add stuff they like to improve the rom.
