How does mibox s handle high bit rate 4k hdr content from external HDD?

by jdp111

Does it play it back fine? Any stutter?

I understand the shield is probably better but I'm not looking to spend that much.

3,2,1 Shield fanboys are coming saying their device is the best etc.😁

Beside the jokes It can handle very good tested on Mi BoX 3 & S.

I can watch avengers endgame 94 gib without any stutter and plenty of variety of other bitrates

No problem so far, I have watched remuxes and rips.

I've done that with the Mibox3.

I throw remux 2160p files at it with truehd atmos. And it does it without a hiccup.. There is litereally no reason to buy a shield tv if you want to play 4k remux files.

MI box 3, high bitrate 4k, no problems so far also with an external HDD connected to a server

It can play 4k remux files, no hiccups (HDD connected to the USB port).

I will say though... I do not recommend leaving your HDD connected to the Mi Box S because it keeps turning the drive on and off in standby mode, can't be healthy for the drive, also makes those disk noises.

I have tried a group of 4K demo videos on loop and they play stutter free for over an hour.

They are averaging at 70Mbps so I think the Mi Box S should handle high bit rates just fine.

The tests were done before and after the update most people say was a disaster.
