Ahh... Ok gets.

Android 6 kasi won't allow it unless nga i-format drive to be recognized as internal storage.

As a workaround what you can try is connect a USB 3.0 hub to the mi box, install a 64gb flash drive and format it as internal storage.

Your torrent app will now be able to download and seed data from the flash drive.

I can then plug an external HD (already formatted) and have Kodi do the file transfers to/from the flash drive to the external HD.

Things to check:

Mi Box:

In Settings > Sound and Display > Digital Sound > {set to HDMI}. It might be on PCM

On Kodi:

Goto Settings > System Information > Audio > Allow Passthrough

On your Receiver:

Set HDMI to "Bitstream" if it's audio is set to PCM.
Thanks for responding sci-fi fan.
I got my Mibox 3 from Globe and installed Kodi ver 17.6. I have re-checked my Mibox and kodi settings but still unable to play DTS. The weird part is that Kodi detects the dts track when I click "info" but my receiver does not detect the multi-channel stream. However, if I play a movie with Dolby Digital 5.1, my receiver can detect it. My receiver is a Marantz SR5007. Without changing any setting, I tried using VLC and was able to play both DTS and Dolby Digital multichannel tracks.
Also, I have an old unbranded android box running android 4.4 and Kodi 15.4 which is able to play both DTS and Dolby Digital as detected by my receiver. Problem is the audio does not sync and there is a lot of stutter making it unwatchable. I bought the Mibox 3 hoping it will do the job.
Any more suggestions will be appreciated.

You need also to changed it to expert mode sa user para ma allow mo ang pass through

DTS problem solved. Thanks to kakashi and sci-fi fan. Needed to put kodi in expert settings to show options on dts capable receivers. This Mibox 3 is really amazing. So small, so cheap and yet so very capable.

I think my mi box is overheating. Anybody na naka experience nito? Nagre reboot sya when playing from usb flash drive (1080p movie only), maybe mga 30 mins. Tapos ang init nya. Though sobra init din kasi nung flash drive, metal kasi casing nya (sandisk flair). U think yun ang culprit. Havent tried playing directly from external hard drive. Ganun ba ginagawa nyo? Thanks in advance.

I've had that issue too.

I solved it by doing a factory reset and re-install everything. Might be some issues with the apps and memory leaks

In my case... I am uncertain. I've installed lots of things and removed some things so feeling ko nagkagulo-gulo lahat so I just reset it.

How are you sharing the files? Via SMB? I don't use SMB because it's too slow as a protocol for large files. You may try looking for a DLNA/UPnP service for your Windows machine and then it can be found easily by Kodi

If kita sa es file explorer that means the box "sees" it.

Sa Kodi naman, best way to check is to go to settings and use the built-in file explorer if it can see the external HD mounted. If not, your problem maybe permissions. Try to play with expert mode on Kodi to see if you can adjust something.

What you're seeing is the internal storage of the Mi Box, not the external HD. You have to navigate up a directory and find your HD, some use /storage/0/, some use /storage/external... I don't have the mi box with me right now so I can't exactly tell you where it's mounted

tried resetting, nago overheat and restart pa din after 20-30 mins using external HD (with power).  Lemon kaya to?  Should i return it to globe?  Pero sa ibang apps like netflix and youtube ok naman kasi sya.

Mga sir, saan pa ba makakuha ng mibox na mura? Just found out na wala na streaming apps ang latest ni oppo units. Tgey removed the app for faster loading time. Pero duda ko ayaw lang ng may masagasaan like sa iso file reader.
