For months my Mi Box S has had an issue playing any video - youtube, vlc, anything. After waking it from sleep it would only play 1 second of the video (or advert) then freeze. The only way to watch anything was to wake it, then restart it first.
Today I got an OTA update which appears to have fixed this - no problems so far. I'm just posting this for anyone out there who had the same and gave up on the box, so they don't leave it in a drawer and never know it's working again :)
The problem with youtube live videos persists tough.
Had the same problem. Glad they fixed it!
Its less rare but the issue is still there. After sleep the device only plays really low quality video and anything higher quality just freezes or keeps buffering (even local files). Pull power. plug back in and its alive. Barely holding up not smashing that box one day. Horrible experience, why cant something this simple just fucking work. Tried multiple resets. Also recently HDMI ARC/CEC/whatever is broken and I have to press buttons on remote 20 times to wake the device up from sleep.
😁😁 didn't mibox S for this whine back? it was a known assure with both Mibox 3 and S. mibox 3 got the update while back.
Wow I can't believe people were still struggling with this issue. It's such a total deal-breaker. I remember when it started happening on my Mibox 3, I downgraded back to the Oreo update, and haven't looked back since.
