    Has anyone else been getting more stuff rejected by customs from aliexpress? ive never had any issues up till the last few months. Had a security camera and a battery pack rejected and sent back to the sender. i notice a lot more stuff listed now is "cannot ship to australia" than before eg Anker cords and battery products

      Me. I bought the Xiaomi 4K camera back in November and has been turned around once. They sent another out by express (therefore no more alipay protection), and has been stuck at Australian customs for about 2 months now. I've tried calling auspost and they keep telling me they can't do anything about it, and that I need to contact the seller to ask China post to enquire about it. But so far no progress. Been about 4 months now guess how I feel… No refund, no product. GG $300

        • bbtlovebbt on 27/02/2017 - 13:59

          You won't have stocks held in Customs. They either dump it or ask the courier to take them back. Maximum is one or two weeks. Taobao is now sending purchases to oversea. I believe it is more reliable. But all are in Chinese.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/02/2017 - 15:45

      Anker doesn't sell here directly, use CableGeek. They've posted a few deals here before.

      That's just a logistics thing more than customs.

      With customs though, be careful what you order. I've noticed most sites won't let you order Xiaomi pens with any devices that contain lithium batteries for example, apparently customs gets a little suspicious by the ink and lithium ingredients being together in a package, lol.

    Anybody know if they have they fixed DTS passthrough for the native Plex app?

  • BradH13 on 26/02/2017 - 21:23

    Do these actually render UI and apps at 4K, or is that a limitation of Android TV? I have a Sony Android TV and only 'certified' apps like Netflix and YouTube output at 4K, nearly everything from the Play Store renders at 1080p including Kodi and VLC - so whilst I can play 4K files, they actually downscale to 1080 then the TV panel then upscales the downscale. Hardware decoding is also unavailable to 'uncertified' apps. I'll buy one of these if someone can confirm (download AIDA64 on it and tell me the resolution it gives).

    • goingDHfast on 26/02/2017 - 21:49
      +2

      Do these actually render UI and apps at 4K

      Yes, for video playback it supports hardware decompression for HEVC @ 2160p.
      Not too sure about the UI but when it boots up it does say the signal is 2160p before the Android TV menu shows.

      • BradH13 on 26/02/2017 - 23:09

        Thanks for your response. Decisions decisions.

    • readerr0r on 26/02/2017 - 23:10

      Kodi's UI may only be 1080p but 4k video still play at 4k. Can attest with the 4K videos I've played through Kodi on my Sony X850D

      • BradH13 on 26/02/2017 - 23:31

        On my X9300D and my X8500C before it, both have less visible detail on Kodi (and others) than the Sony 'Video' app (which is a pile of junk I may add) playing the same files. Also, I was trawling through the Kodi forums and many people are saying the same thing for the Sony TVs.

        As I understand it from research, Sony and/or Google has locked down Android TV so only 'approved' apps can actually display 4K content. Only those with Apps (Video) in the 'Picture' action menu such as Netflix, and YouTube. Any other app just says 'Apps' instead and is locked out of the hardware decoding and native 4K displaying.

        I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell on my particular set - it's definitely not displaying in 4K.

        • SteveBuscemi on 27/02/2017 - 09:36
          +4

          On Android TV — your Sony included — the UI is rendered at 1080p but 4K video is output at 4K. The UI is upscaled but the video is native. Android is not stupid enough to do an up/down/upscale 2160p->1080p->2160p. Doesn't matter if its "approved" like Netflix or not, its 4K.

          Both Kodi and its main Android fork SPMC support hardware acceleration of AVC, HEVC, etc on the Bravia and proper 4K playback. (VC-1 is missing though.)
          https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oc4jKpjPKd-IwU_GLLIhg7vT…

          There are plenty of problems with the Sony's (particularly audio), but getting 4K video out of them is not one of them. As long as Mediacodec (Surface) acceleration is on and you're playing standard H.264 or H.265, you've got hardware-accelerated 4K video. Some people choose to switch Kodi to use Sony's player, but that's generally only to get DTS (now working fine in 6.x/SPMC) or playback VC-1 encoded video. Stop focusing on the 1080p GUI.

          Back to "real 4K GUIs"…SPMC does have the option to render the GUI at 2160p on high-powered devices like the Shield so it IS possible. But I haven't tested it on the MiBox. The Kodi devs specifically chose to lower the GUI res around 16.0a4.

          Coming from the owner of an X8500C, the MiBox is miles ahead of my Bravia in terms of speed, audio support (supports DTS-HD / TrueHD / Atmos passthrough), Wifi throughput, and is specifically recommended on the Kodi hardware forum.
          http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=275083&pid=2446197#p…

          The one thing it can't really do is auto refresh rate switching but if you have a good TV with 24/25p-inside-60p detection like the Bravia's it won't be a problem.

          AC Wifi throughout is solid on this box but there are USB ethernet adapters that work out of the box based on the ASIX chipset.

        • BadGiraffe on 27/02/2017 - 11:16

          @SteveBuscemi: Just bought a Sony with Android TV. Was messing around with it last night. Seems promising so far. I'd like to mess around with it and see what I can get running on it. Netflix and Youtube are great, but I can't even dream of streaming 4K content with my connection. 9 Mbps is the best I'm ever going to get.

          I can't, however, get 4K from my PS4 Pro. It tells me I can get 2K (didn't even know that was a thing), but I had to change my picture mode to get 4K. I'm still trying to work it out, but if you have any tips, I'll be sure to try them.

          EDIT: I noticed you mentioned speed in your post. I can confirm that the speed on my Bravia is slower than the PS4. Netflix on the Bravia is slow and does not even reach 1080p. On the PS4, it hits 1080p the second it loads. Samsung's implementation of Netflix on their TVs is better than Sony's.

        • BradH13 on 27/02/2017 - 12:22

          @flaminglemon: You need to go into input settings in the settings screen (on the TV) and turn on 'Enhanced Mode' on the HDMI input that your PS4 (or anything you want to run in 4K) is connected to. It will require a TV reboot.

        • BradH13 on 27/02/2017 - 12:27

          @SteveBuscemi: Thanks for that information! I just wish internal apps let you click the info button on the remote so you knew what resolution it was running at, like HDMI and Digital TV.

          Regardless of what we're talking about, the coding of Sony's Android TV is a bloody mess, and the SoC is way underpowered. I've just about given up on it. The internal WiFi speed is terrible (enough though it's a AC chip and negotiates at 867, it's connected to a USB2 bus with a bad driver and only pumps out 125Mbps with the 6.0.1 update - not enough for Blu-Ray remuxes to stream over network and that's my main use).

        • BadGiraffe on 27/02/2017 - 13:08

          @BradH13: I just did a Google search just before coming back here. This is exactly what one of the forum posts say. Thanks for getting back to me! Looks like I'll be fiddling around with the TV more tonight.

          It's funny. I get a kick more out of fiddling with the TV than playing actual games on the PS4.

        • BadGiraffe on 27/02/2017 - 13:10

          @BradH13: I'm connected via ethernet, and that's just as bad. I don't know if they'll ever update their Android TV. They're not all that great with updating Android on the phones.

        • BradH13 on 27/02/2017 - 15:46

          It's definitely coming. What set do you have? 6.0.1 for 8000C, 8500C, 9000C, 8000D, 8500D, and 9300/4000D is just about to roll out OTA. If you have one of those sets, you can download it right now from here (http://tv.update.sony.net/ond/2015/as/main/F18894400_PS10818…) and extract the PKG file to the root of a USB flash drive and update it that way. I can confirm on my 9300D it works and has improved a few things.

    • katsuya on 27/02/2017 - 10:47

      If this Xiaomi TV is the actual "International Version", it's a proper Android TV, it gets the official Netflix app from playstore just like your Sony TV.

      I just got one and I like it, it is an official Android TV device (proof: https://www.android.com/tv/xiaomi-mi-box/) which may or may not be everyone's cup of tea.

      My uses include Netflix, Kodi, Google music and chromecast (or google cast i think they call it these days?). I like how the remote has a built in mic for google voice commands :)

      They are very good. I have 2. Plenty of reviews. Just make sure that you get the International version.

      The Chinese version has a locked ROM, probably so that residents of China cannot mod the box to add international channels, and ignore CCP propaganda.

      I you are new or don't like hacking Android, you might want to pay a bit more for the "fully loaded" ones on eBay.

      • ToTheMoon on 27/02/2017 - 10:11

        This could be a misunderstanding

        XiaoMi locked the ROM of tv box is a business concern since Xiaomi wants to expand its ROM as much as possible thus develops its own app market (http://app.mi.com/)
        Its ROM can be replaced by original android or other ROMs easily if you have a tutorial for this but the warranty will be voided.
        Moreover, there are piles of original android ROM tv boxes can be found from taobao.com from ~$20 to ~$100+

        For international users, APP market is nothing since the majority of apps are in Chinese.

        Technically the international channels are blocked in China on the basis of the internet connections.
        with a VPN (many free VPNs), anyone can facebook or youtube. Chinese gov won't trouble anyone for VPN but will trouble people who criticize the gov.

        Hope this helps

        • katsuya on 27/02/2017 - 10:50

          This is the "International version", it's an official Android TV device with playstore installed. It's not the chinese version you've mentioned above.

          serial MDZ-09-ABxxx is not locked (International version)

      You can cast things to this device just as you would normally with the Chrome Cast while also having the ability to act as a media centre. Connect your USB or HDD to it and watch your shows/movies. But one of the main reasons why people buy this is for the Kodi app. If you're not sure what that is, probably best to google it. There are also tones of reviews and youtube vids on this device to help make your decision.

        Can you link to that seller? I dread waiting 40 days for my delivery, thanks

        How long did it take for your order to be processed within aliexpress? Placed an order with this seller 3 days ago and it is still yet to be processed.

        • discopotato on 01/03/2017 - 11:58

          From memory it took a few days to process. Have you tried to contact the seller?

    Any idea why these are so expensive? I'm currently using a MQ Nexbox 4k blah thing but that was less than half the price from a previous deal. Sure it's only 1G and S905, does 4k and hvec, what else you need from a TV box? I boot OpenELEC off usb/sd straight into kodi and it's perfect.

    Is there anything with this unit provides that warrants the price?

      This is Android TV, not some skinned version of Android.

      • BadGiraffe on 27/02/2017 - 13:13

        Yes, it is hard to find an actual Android TV device online without first looking at wikipedia or some other site with official info on Adroid TV devices.

      Compared to anything that is not a no-name, unsupported and unlicensed generic box, the Mi Box is cheap!

      Valid comparisons are other Android-TV boxes, which must meet a standard: Nvidia Shield, Nexus Player, Sony TV.

  • frozenkuku on 27/02/2017 - 10:35

    does it support atmos sound?

  • Bon Marche on 27/02/2017 - 10:36

    Deal is the same as the standard price (current now and same for months) at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/xiaomi-mi-box-4K-Streaming-M…

    I have used this vendor previously and had good service. It is the same dealer that greencomet recommends, above.

      [Edit] I ordered another one from this seller. The order is automatically cancelled by aliexpress if it doesn't ship within 5 days. Dodgy sellers like gearbest or geekbuying get around this by lodging shipment doc's with DHL (if that is the chosen shipping option) to pretend the item has shipped although they have no stock to ship. The seller I recommend in this post (same as greencomet) has just done the same to me. Claimed to have shipped the box 3 days ago, DHL say they have only received shipping information, the box is not ready for pickup. Disappointed that this seller is now copying dodgy tactics of Gearbest and Geekbuying.

    Many thanks for three interesting posts

  • Bubbleshark on 27/02/2017 - 11:06

    What do you think about this site? A bit too cheap …

      DX? Never heard of it. They must be new.

      Similar hardware, totally different software. Suits China market.

      • Major Mess on 27/02/2017 - 14:26

        LOL you must be making a joke? These guys were around before Alliexpress etc took off.
        They used to be cheaper than ebay a long time ago. They started shipping some stuff from Aust about 6 years ago(but don't know if they still do).

        www.dx.com will get their full product range.

          Yes, of course it was a joke. Sorry I forgot the <irony> tags :-)
          I used to buy a ton of junk from them before eBay got easier. Remember when the reviews and product ratings were genuine and useful?

    • selfdestruct on 27/02/2017 - 12:29

      i bought a few things from them a year or so ago. i got a mele f10 remote which works fine. the postage was a bit slow but i believe they have a warehouse in australia now.

      There were a few versions of the Mi Box before the current Android TV version that used a skinned version of Android rather than Android TV. They look similar so you have to be careful.

      The tell there is probably that it's running Android 5.

  • kaos on 27/02/2017 - 12:24

    would anyone like to comment on this box (not the deal, just the box!)
    It appears to have more ram and more powaaaaa

      I would pass on that one

      Buggiest Android Kodi Box getting about is:
      - Any AMLogic S912 box running Android Marshmallow 6.0, like the Beelink GT1 as an example. Don't get hoodwinked by clever marketing and Tech specs people. Its been awarded a D by our very own @hdmkv. A D for Do Not Bother!

        cheers @Legion, much appreciated

    • Bubbleshark on 27/02/2017 - 13:20

      I'm not an expert but when I see powerful hardware with a no name brand with adds being like "we are the best! Look the others are doing shit! LOOK AT MEEE!" (Feeling I had when scrolling down the page), I tend to think there must be a trick. I imagine there would be no firmware updates on that stuff once you bought it (maybe it's fine without updates) but looking at the specs … It looks really tempting

  • selfdestruct on 27/02/2017 - 12:29

    is there any way to run sonarr or sickbeard on one of these box's ?

    • gizmomelb on 27/02/2017 - 13:23

      the retort is why would you? it has no ethernet, but I suppose you could save the files to a USB HDD. you'd be better off buyin a cheaper s905/x based media player which has multiple USB ports AND ethernet - installing linux and then running sonarr on that. Or just buy a cheap 2 bay synology NAS and run sonarr there (which is what I do).
