Why my 3 Gen xiaomi so lagged at times? server prob or net speed prob:s11:??

If you are using wifi, check your wifi speed by installing speedtest.net in the box. If the speed is Ok, then the problem is the apks you used. More than 10Mbps is good enough for streaming 1080p video.

go and join my facebook group, then download:

p2premote.apk
LETV ver1.5.25
BestV
LETV cloud player

You will have very smooth video.

p2premote is good!

LETV ver1.5.25 doesn't work , it just force close by itself.
The imgoTV (blackhorse version) also doesn't work , i have gotten a MAC address authentication error.

I have tried RecordTV on my Xiaomi box. The Singapore free to air channels disappeared on the menu.
It work in Xiaomi phone.

Most probably because the apk can't detect singapore as country due to broadcast location setting off in Xiaomi box. Most probably won't find an option to enable location too.

How about using Toggle app, at least got channel 5 & 8. Clearer too

Toggle is not really optimized for TV right? Even using a mouse is quite painful to navigate.

Could someone advise on the optimal decoding setting for xbmc on xiaomi?

If I turn off all hw acceleration, I get choppy playback on high bitrate 1080p mkv files.

The same files playback OK with xbmc on firetv.

I think it took 2-3 weeks for me.

Nope, does not come with english UI preinstalled from Lazada seller.

Updating to english is not that hard anyways refer to the link on the previous post.

Hey bro, just received my box today and thanks for the share, apparently the playstore doesnt seem to be working for me.. Got any links to share on getting more recent playstore, services and framework?
Getting late now, I'll play ard tmr, Cheers!

Yeah the Google play store install method in that video did not work because of missing some items.

I followed the steps on HERE for installing Google play store.

Using the Google Installer application to install instead however this application is in Chinese so I had to navigate blindly to install.

bros! need your advice leh :(

keen on getting this mibox from this seller on Qoo:

Qoo10 - LOCAL SELLER 3rd Gen Latest Version Xiaomi TV Box Free HK Movie : TV, Camera & Audio

Questions:

1) if i just want to watch US dramas/movies/documentaries and HK drama/movies (in Cantonese), then do i need to opt for XMBC, Astro and simi '600 Foreign Channels' selection?

So many selections on the page until i blur liao :s22::s22:

2) by 'jailbreak', means the mibox can use right out of the box without needing to dl any APKs, etc?

3) there's also a choice to go for the $80/yr subscription for premium channels, so if i go for that, means i dun need XMBC, Astro, etc?

Thanks in advance for your help!
