The millet box is a TV box with a high market share. I have always been a user of the Xiaomi box. She has used or helped her family to install a millet box 2, a millet box 3, a millet box 3 enhanced version, and a millet box 3S. The millet box 3 enhanced version is the most smoothly used millet box so far, but in the course of more than a year of use, there have been various problems, including the majority of value-advertising advertising problems, with their own high-definition The player can not load external subtitles and other issues, give my solution here, for the majority of value-friends, welcome friends to discuss. Reasons to purchase The millet box 3 enhanced version was launched in March of 16th and is currently the highest overall millet box. The main dual-band 802.11ac WiFi, 2G memory, Bluetooth 4.1 low-power Bluetooth remote control and other features. At that time, I saw the upgrade of these configurations and experiences, and I immediately started with the listing. It has been used for more than a year now. Compared with the millet box 3S listed in November 2016, the enhanced version of the millet box 3 has superior CPU, WiFi, and remote control, and the RAM and Bluetooth specifications are the same. One USB 2.0 port and one AV port are missing. Comments, see AV is not so convenient), obviously the configuration is lower only the flash memory specification, 3 enhanced version is eMMC 5.0, and 3S is eMMC 5.1. Here, I have to sigh that Xiaomi’s technical department still has a long way to go. If Huawei, flash memory of different specifications can do exactly the same thing. Millet (MI) millet box 3 [enhanced version] HD network TV set-top box 4K TV output H.265 Standard smart remote control 409 yuan Jingdong direct link Appearance Gallery â–¼ The enhanced version of the millet box 3 is mainly white. The main square of the box is a rounded square, which is preferred by individuals. â–¼ The power adapter is also white, and the round socket is connected with the main body of the millet box, and the output is 12V~1.2A. â–¼ The back socket is 2 USB 2.0, HDMI interface, power interface from left to right. Personally think that an RJ45 network interface should be added to provide more stable local HD playback capability. â–¼The enhanced version of the millet box 3 has a power consumption of 0.4-0.5W during standby and 3-7W during playback (without mounting the USB device). Overall, it is quite energy-efficient. Go to boot ads and push messages Nowadays, ads on Xiaomi's box can be very arrogant and obnoxious. After booting (in fact, it wakes from sleep), it takes 30 seconds. After I finally bought a TV box, I thought that I had got rid of the infringement of traditional TV advertisements. Falling into the whirlpool of another ad, but helpless but you have to find ways to get rid of ads. â–¼ millet box of the boot ads, in exchange for tricks to turn, giving the feeling is like every boot is like eating a dog sh1t. The way to get rid of ads can start from the web portal or terminal device. The network entrance is the router for most home users. The IP address of the advertisement can be masked on the router ROM by various means. Due to space reasons, this part is not started today. The word is for reference. Router ROM: Koolshare version of Merlin (relatively large number of domestic use), Asuswrt-Merlin (original version of Merlin, need to toss their own plug-ins), OPENWRT, LEDE and other third-party ROM. Go to the ad plugin: Adbyby, Koolproxy. Starting from the terminal device itself, you need to modify the Host file and install the relevant advertisement extension (PC browser) or APP (mobile phone). For millet boxes (or millet TVs), you need to use ADB debugging or get root privileges to disable ad-related processes. As my family's millet box 3 enhanced version has been automatically upgraded to the latest 1.5.16, no root has been unable to open ADB debugging, so this article uses root + disable the relevant process from the Kai method to advertise. Friendly reminder, root is at risk and operation must be careful. â–¼My millet box 3 enhanced system version is 1.5.16. Preparation: U disk 1, a mouse (wired or wireless), the downloaded kingroot and TV stewards copy U disk. Go to "Millet Box Settings - System Update" and close "Intelligent Update"; enter "Millet Box Settings - Account and Security", allow "Install unknown source applications" and enter "Application - More - HD Player - Devices", Find your U disk and open it, install kingroot and TV steward. Note: If you are using a chrome browser, downloading the kingroot will prompt the software to be at risk (most root software will prompt), manually click on the reservation. â–¼ After the installation is complete, connect the mouse (wired, 2.4G receiver plugged into the USB port, Bluetooth is connected to the box), because the kingroot operation can not be completed with the remote control. Open the kingroot, you can see the splash screen, hold down the left mouse button and pull up. â–¼ Skip a few introductory screens, check "Agree with "kingroot software license agreement"" and click "Open Now". Then click on "Try root" and click on it. Do nothing and wait until root completes. After the root is completed, the kingroot will automatically scan the system status, prompting you to call the system security index. At this time, it is recommended that you do not perform any operation on the unfamiliar value of the system. Do not click “Process Immediately†and you will accidentally injure some APP configuration files. For example, KODI. At the same time, the kingroot will prompt the installation of "cleaning master", decisively not installed. â–¼ Then open the sofa butler, enter the "Toolbox - Universal - Sofa Manager Settings" will be "super authority" is set to open, this is out of the sofa housekeeper is applying for root privileges dialog box, click Allow, then long press the remote control power button , restart the box. â–¼ After the box is restarted, open the sofa butler, and go to "Toolbox - Application Management - Self-Start Management", find "StandbyCover", click on the "disable", and click "disable" in the dialog box that pops up. Then use the same steps to disable the autostart of "MSA" and "TVPushService". When you're finished, give it a try and see if annoying boot ads and various message pushes are gone. If you are familiar with the system, you can disable other non-system-neutral APP self-starters, such as third-party video apps that you manually install. But during the operation, please be careful not to operate it unless you know what you are doing. Install KODI to watch local videos and mount subtitles The high-definition player that comes with the millet box can automatically identify videos, pictures, and other content in the DLNA media server on the LAN. However, when playing local high-definition video, subtitles cannot be mounted or displayed abnormally. For some video formats The support was not good enough, so I installed KODI on the box to solve this problem. â–¼ The high-definition player that comes with the millet box often fails to mount local video subtitles. â–¼ Search for KODI in the TV housekeeper to install. I chose version 16.1. After the installation is completed, it is in English. Friends who are not used to the English interface can refer to this step to change the interface to Chinese. Click "SYSTEM-Settings-Appearance-Skins-Fonts" and change to "Arial based". Be sure to change the system font to Arial first. Otherwise, the system language will become garbled when it is changed to Chinese. â–¼ Then click "SYSTEM-Settings-Appearance-International-Lauguage" and change to "Chinese (Simple)" to change the system language to Chinese. â–¼ Then you need to add the network address of the local NAS (or the hard disk mounted on the router). Click on "video-files-browse-add network location", and then select Windows Network (SMB) protocol, then enter the server name (NAS name or router name), share folder (video folder), user name and password, click "OK" to add. The actual network file system (NFS) can also mount local video subtitles. â–¼ After the completion, just put srt, ass and other external subtitles in the video folder, the name (in addition to .srt.ass and other suffix) consistent with the video name, you can normally play subtitles when playing. â–¼ Finally, remember to set “Screensaver†to “Off†and “Sleep†to “Never Sleep†in “Millet Box Settings - General Settings - Energy Savingâ€, otherwise the millet box will enter screensaver while KODI is playing video. Even sleep. In order to make the playback of local HD video smoother, try to place the millet box in a place with a good WiFi signal, connect the 5G signal, the router's USB performance (in the case of a router mounting a mobile hard disk) and the router LAN to 5G performance (routed to the NAS In case of) it is best to give some force :) to sum up The millet box 3 enhanced version is currently the highest overall configuration of the millet box, with dual-band 802.11ac WiFi, 2G memory, low-power Bluetooth 4.1 and Bluetooth voice remote control. Although Xiaomi’s box has been criticized for advertising problems, even the enhanced version of Xiaomi Box 3 of the latest system (1.5.16) can disable advertising-related apps from launching to remove boot ads and push system notifications by gaining root privileges. . By installing KODI, local HD video subtitles (srt, ass, etc.) can be normally mounted. Compared to 299's millet box 3S (difficult to gain root privileges), millet box 3 enhanced version of that extra 100 dollars is very valuable, millet box 3 enhanced version is currently the only personal recommendation of the millet box. Finally finished, I wish the valued friends a happy holiday Dragon Boat Festival, welcome valued friends to discuss, collect, scrape silver.
