Hello

The mi box S 2nd gen when I watch Netflix or Disney+ with commercials disconnects from Netflix or Disney+ respectively during the commercials.why?

I am connected in ethernet with a fiber connection at Orange ...

Thanks

I recently got the newer model Fire TV 4k Max (karat) for about 60€ when my mantis died. Would have preferred the Onn. sticks/boxes or Thomson equivalents because I'm in Europe but that's what I saw at the time and got it because of the familiarity I had with the mantis.

I spent a week with it and while it was much more performant than my mantis, it left many things to be desired.

So I got a Xiaomi TV Box S 2nd gen, and I had no issues with ADB, magisk (26.4) and even unlocking the bootloader.

After blocking updates, I got rid of the Xiaomi/Google tv interface in favour of the AndroidTV interface via a magisk module.

Here are the specs for the Xiaomi TV Box S (2nd Gen) ; https://www.androidtv-guide.com/streaming-gaming/xiaomi-box-4k-v2/

I sent the 4k Max back to Amazon.

If you're looking for an alternative consider the following ;

North America: onn. (Walmart) 4K Plus Streaming Box Google TV 2025 or 2024

Europe : Thomson Streaming Box Plus 270 or 240

Everywhere else : Xiaomi TV Box S (2nd Gen)

Good luck.

I'm new to Android boxes. I have the MiBox 2nd Gen connected to a speakerless Monitor via HDMI and my Logitech Bluetooth speakers. Controlling the volume using the remote button doesn't work, am I doing something wrong or does it only work with a TV?

Edit: Normally on Windows/Android I would just use the system slider and don't bother reaching the speakers' physical buttons.

My MiBox shows wifi but doesnt connect to my AT&T Fiber Wifi. Is there a setting I have to change? Thank you

I made a mistake and bought Android TV box, and I choosed mibox s something. I set up the device in the TV on my room. Now I moved it the Family room but the device isn't controlling the TV, can't change volume up/down nor turning it on/off. I do not want to re set up, I set it up with few apps sideloaded and there's not a single option to make the mibox remote control the TV, help?

Which Mi box supports TikTok live streaming? I have the older MDZ-22-AB model and it doesn't support live streaming.

Hello everyone, I recently purchased the Xiaomi TV Box S (2nd generation) from China, but I’ve encountered an issue with Arabic characters. The device only offers English and Chinese as language options, and even when set to English, it doesn’t display Arabic characters. Additionally, the keyboard is entirely in English with no option for Arabic.

Is there a way to enable Arabic characters and add an Arabic keyboard to the device? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys

I bought the Mi Box S, exactly to be able to use my VPN on my TV (since it's not an Android TV and doesn't have the VPN app). But when I search fot the ExpressVPN app, it doesn't find it in the app store. Is it not available at all, or is it a location problem?

Does anyone have an apk that automatically disables Bluetooth visibility after restarting the mi box s 4k? I use an App for this but every time the box is restarted the Bluetooth becomes visible again, this is bad because neighbors try to connect to it and this stops the content being played on it... Maybe some adb hack?? Thanks

I updated from the mi box tv to the 2nd gen Mi BoX tV (model: MiTV-AFKR0), android version 11 and I can’t find device preferences.

I am searching for it since I want to customise my home-screen , specifically reorder the rows, need to turn off some of the rows (and no I don’t want the app only mode )

Any help will be appreciated, usually scrolling to the bottom in the last had the option or double left it to reorder .

Trying to download this app background apps and process list. I cannot find it in my Google Play Store. I've googled it. I've tried to download it. What I'm looking for is downloader code.

Hello, I recently got my xiaomi Mi box s 2nd gen, and at configuration I saw that I can configure the MI remote to control volume and turn on/off the TV. But I have tried all 75 possibilities (I have an old Toshiba TV) and none of them worked. Can I somehow manually update that list if I manage to record the IR codes from my TV remote?

Hello,

Is there any way to use the Magic Remote from my LG tv as a voice search receiver? The remote is controlling the MiBox but:

• air mouse is not working with it,
• integrated microphone is not receiving any sounds when using,
• in YouTube app the voice search you can't even activate the function.

I've used to use only the LG remote to control the TV and MiBox itself and would be great to have also the voice function through it.

Pretty much title. My Mi Box original (non-s) lost the ability to play Hulu back in August, and I’ve given up on waiting for a fix. Can anyone confirm if the current-gen Xiaomi box supports Hulu natively from the Play Store?

Hulu’s support website is vague, and goes to a dead link. Also asked over in /r/AndroidTV, but didn’t gain much traction. Don’t want to buy it if it doesn’t, then have to go through the hassle of returning.

Hi, how can I configure my Mi TV Stick 4K to automatically disable TV volume control on the remote whenever my bluetooth ear buds are connected? (change to control android volume instead) My ear buds don't have volume buttons. This is the only feature I miss from my old Firestick. Thanks

Is it possible to disable play protect on a Mibox 4S gen 2?

Hello So my box dont turn on with the remote. I have to unplug the cable and plug it in so it can work Anyone knows how to solve this? Thanks

Hello, I have a Mi Box S (MDZ-22-AB) and I don't use it quite often. Today I tried turning it on but there's no signal from the tv, or no lights from the box itself. I tried plugging it in separately without an HDMI cable and it doesn't work. I spammed the power button on my remote and it doesn't work. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I have a mi box s for some years now and it is always attached to my external hard drive (Western Digital). After moving I reconnected my setup and the hdd makes a clicking sound every 5-10 seconds. I connected the hard drive to my PC and no clicking sound was heard. I connected another HDD from another brand and it made the same sound with higher frequency.
Has anyone encountered this? Is there any easy fix for it?

I am thinking on buying mi nox 2s to play 4k movies from external usb?

does it work fine even with big 4k movies especially that it use usb 2.0 or there is a bottleneck?

also can is download vlc and use it to play my videos?

Hey guys

How can i test the wifi connection (MBPS download and upload ) speed on my mi box ?

hi

when I put on Disney+ with ads, well, the problem is that at the slightest ad, it quits playing, I restart and it starts again from the beginning of the episode or movie.

It doesn't do that with netflix. And a neighbor and friend has the same box and doesn't have this problem.

Why and what can I do?

Thanks

Hey there guys

I just bought a ethernet USB port from amazon called “BENFEI Ethernet adapter , 3.0” . Will it work and make my internet connection better ?

Im having a rough time watching streams on my Mi box. Hopefully ethernet will make the connection better.

I just bought the mi box and it works just fine but it didnt come with the hdmi cable and I May have to return it. I was wondering If it was worth to downgrade to the mi stick since I only use it for Watching tv and also I will ocasionally need to change it to another tv and the praticality of it is considerably better

I have multiple Xiaomi tv devices (2 MiSticks, one with Android TV and one with Google TV, and a Mibox 2nd Gen).

Both Misticks detect the 5G wifi and connect to it with no issues at all.

The problem is with my MiBox 2nd gen. It does not detect the 5G wifi and only detects the 2.4 wifi even when it's right next to the router. I tried another 2nd Gen Mibox that belongs to a friend of mine and it detected my 5g wifi and connected to it with no issues.

My 2nd Gen Mibox is updated to july security patch (the latest update).

Has anyone encountered this issue? What should I do?

Am I the only one who experiences severe lags when using the Mi Box S (2nd Gen)? Every time I turn on the Mi Box (from sleep mode, to be precise), it lags for several seconds. It’s like it has input lag and FPS drop simultaneously (I don’t know how to describe it, though). Everything that’s done for the first time also lags for the first few seconds. For instance, if I open Settings, it opens with a significant delay and lag within. After a while, the lag stops, but if I delve deeper into the Settings, it also opens with a substantial delay and FPS drop. And the lag persists for the first few seconds regardless of what I do.

I’m aware of these memes about lagging Android devices, but is it truly that bad? Or is there an issue specific to my case?
