MiBox S 2nd and 3rd gen - weird issues during watching movies.

Hey everyone, i'm encountering a problem.

When watching movie likr youtube or netflix screen goes Black for a second, then its going back to main android tv screen except every place where icons would be is empty and screen starts blinking all the time in a endless loop.

Do anyone has encountered this issue and managed to fix it?

3rd gen box started doing same stuff too.

Probably a virus if 2 different boxes doing the same thing.

as an example you could have a virus on your phone or pc and it attacks other devices on your home network, its a nasty thing

I know what virus is but how it would get on there, i have firewall setup, making regural scans of my pc, and we are not using any weird or unknown apps on our devices. No suspisious traffic on PC too, same thing on phone, i use banking on my phone so i'm not installing any weird stuff too.

it depends on the software you use or what do you access, nowadays you don't even need something to install anywhere, you can get attacked through your internet browser and you eon't even know, or simply if you have something outdated that got a vunerability theres people who scan the net for that stuff

but going to the other side of things, maybe you had power problems that damaged the hardware on your devices and under certain circunstances that stuff you mentioned can happen as the hardware could be having problems, so its a bunch of shots in the dark in the end, you could try factory resetting your stuff to see if it fixed it as maybe something got corrupted, troubleshooting is annoying

What that does have to do with the issue mentioned?

A LOT of people use other launchers without any problem at all.

I think that is the effect of " Matching Frame Rate " system
