Hello everyone,
One month ago I bought the TV box that I attached in the post. I bought it bc I really like to watch movies every weekend with pizza, and everytime that i wanted to watch one movie, I had to move my incredibly heavy PC thre floors downstairs, conect it via HDMI and watch the movie with VLC. My computer is really powerful, so I always try to download the 4K Blu Ray movie, something that is like 50-70 GB, to watch it in the best possible way enjoying every single detail.
A friend recomended me to buy this TV box, an external hard drive of 1 tb, and to plug the tv box in my living room tv (it is not an smart tv), download something called KODI, fill the hard drive with all the films from my computer, and conect the HDD to the Xiaomi mi box. My tv is just 1080p btw, so i can just config the tv box to 1080p 60hz.
That is what I did, and omfg, KODI made a really beautiful library with my films, showing the actors, directors, cover, plot summary etc. with a nice interface. I was living a dream. The problem is that, when I try to watch warever movie (even those that are microHD and just have 3-5 gb), they have like "microlag". LEt me explain, the movie works properly but, every 4 or 5 seconds, you see a almost unoticeable freeze. If you dont care, you can watch perfectly the movie but, if you are a maniac like me, it is inmposible, every "microlag" is a knife in my heart.
In my pc, the movies works fine, absolutely smooth.
I think it could be those things:
-
The tv box is not enough powerful and cant handle 60 gb movies, but is absurd bc 4 gb movies have the same problem.
- Please, if you think is that option, I would like you to recomend me any TV box that you think is better for what I want, watch High Quality and heavy films with a player, like nvidia shield or something like this.
- Just have usb 2.0, not 3.0 (the blue one), so maybe cant take the data from the hdd as fast as it needs (i dont know about computers, so maybe im saying a supidity)
- Maybe is KODI, so I downloaded VLC for android, but i works even worst. And, I dont know why, if I activate subtitles, lag is horrible.
Thats all, thank you very much for helping me bc i dont know what to do.
Is your box still running Nougat (AndroidTV 7)?
This box is equivalent to MDZ-16-AB NOT MDZ-22-AB (Mibox S)
If so, you should search this reddit for source update.zip file and instructions to perform manual update.
You will look for posts in April of 2019 to get appropriate files for build 2562.
Be sure to do full system reset before and after update.
