The important update is in attachment. I hope you will receve it all. It cost me 75 $ but worht it. There are no words for compare this. It make me take a promise to myself.... Never ever buy a chinese shit again. Take a pleasure to colaborate with you all! If i will be ever be able to restore my "old" box to factory settimgs i will keep you informed. Take a pleasure, Costin.

Well Xiaomi is also Chinese so... I think what ur trying to say is never buy from a untrusted and unreputable company? Well u get what u pay for... Plus this box after update version 3 seems to be more stable now... Got no issues or complaints so far... Hope it gets better with more updates

[costinilie]

I hope so. I also hope that some day people who make update for this box, will relese an update that include a widevine fix. The box itself is ok, but thera are no response from factory. I sent several mail with the reques for official firmware, and after all the words writed to B2GO company, the only answer from they was "where are you bought the box?"

Here is the original firmware and the program for it. It is possible to fix in a bowl.

Firmware:

I do not know where you got this file. As long as google does not find anything, I can say that you are in possession of a secret state file of Chinese. Thank you, especially as your first post and I appreciate the effort. Unfortunately the problem persists. Even with the original firmware, the problem with Widevine L3 remains unresolved. I've read somewhere (I do not know where), that DRM files would be in a hidden partition. But this property is separate from the original firmware. That is, it is not included in the original firmware. Install separately. Others say I'm in the user partition. I do not know what to say. At this point I do not know how to fix the problem, or if it can ever be solved. One thing is certain, once another firmware is installed, the Widevine L1 is finally lost. That means Netflix will NEVER work anymore in HD mode. And that's what's special about this player. Like Android TV OS.
I recommend you NOT change the original firmware unless you are aware that you will not be able to recover your Widevine L1.

For those who still have the original firmware installed and will ever need this firmware in case of disaster, be aware that when using Factory Tools v. 1.6, after uploading the file, choose UPDATE not Restore. The difference between the two is that when we choose Restore, a formatting of the NAND menus will be done before writing. This is a DISASTER, because at that time the DRM keys are also deleted.

Once again I thank you for your effort, I sincerely appreciate. I keep searching for the forums, maybe I'll ever find a solution.

How can I download that? Can you help me?

Settings>About>System update> Push arrow to manually check. Usualy is a popup windows that anounce the new ota version, but this version 1.0.4 only appears on manually check in my case. Beside DRM Fix, i did not find anythings new. DRM was fixed after several seconds after android full loads. A popup windows appears with "DRM Updateing" message, and then reboot itself. After that, DRM Info app show a Widevine L1 insteead L3. Netflix is alive again.

On this OTA build, download speed was very very very low. 100-300 KB/S. Usualy was 3-6 MB/S. 700Mb appear to be a life time, but finally, after 2h was ok.

It's 720p or 1080p ?

Did someone made an test of video playback on this box? In Kodi and other software? FullHD, 60fps, h264/hec, with bitrate 10+mbps ? Would be nice to see it before buy.

my advice....read my other post....the box itself is ok, but in my experience is better to buy somethings else. Because i lost my DRM key when i flash another firmware, and lost any hope to repair the box, i was forced to buy another box. i spent a little more and buyed a xiaomi mi box 3. there are no words to compare this. think twice before spent your money. kodi run on allmost any box, but mi box is far more special.
If you dont like mi box, at least buy a Meecol, or any other certified devices. It is a very very important things now days.

my x88 mini not show any update. I dont know more what to do about netflix. only I can use one version mobile. and the plugin netflix on the kodi dont work

[costinilie]

Assuming you have changed firmware in the past, and now have same problems like me, with Widevine L3 insteed L1, try to reinstall the firmware. Use the one posted by ale.mikheev on post #109. Use Restore function on Factory Tools. Then try again searching for OTA update.

On the other hand, its possible that OTA Firmware NOT to be available at this moment. Its hapeened in the past with older version. Was available for some days, and then was retired, probable to be replaced with other version. I dont know exactly why is not available for you right now, maybe i was lucky and searched at the right moment. One things is certainly, developer team made a fix. Keep searching for update. I've learned my lesson, and never ever change other firmware without having developer support and original firmware as backup.

If you dont have any luck, i will recomand to use Netflix version 6.10. Work very good with Widevine L3, and have a higher resolution. 960x540 or something like that. Anyway higher then 480p.

thanks for advice, i've had that mibox and wasn't happy because od the kodi video decode performance and lack of ethernet port, looking for box with faster vpu than ma previous one, so if it's not right one i'll look more, thanks

this version netflix 6.10 not work for me. only 4.16. in my x88 mini there is app that inform L1 certification. But I dont understand because netflix app for tv not work. someOne has firmware update 1.0.4 for this box?

[costinilie]

Then try to uninstall any Netflix update. Remain with system installed app. Clear cache, clear data, and most important, in storage settings clear cache. Reboot the box and update to latest version from Play Store. It shod work now.
