Setup guide

Bob Pro is a paid app; its fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. The Xiaomi Mi Box S decodes 4K, so 4K feeds play at full resolution on a 4K screen. If it doesn't suit you, the 7-day money-back guarantee applies, and because plans are prepaid there's nothing to cancel later.

Bob Pro on Xiaomi Mi Box S: Installing Bob Pro

  • Choose a plan on the pricing page and order on WhatsApp; your server URL, username and password arrive in about 60 seconds.
  • Search Google Play for Bob Pro with the remote or the voice button and install it. Where Play doesn't carry it, Downloader can fetch it from the developer's site once unknown apps are allowed.
  • Choose the Xtream Codes login in Bob Pro and enter the server URL (including http:// and the port), the username and the password exactly as sent.
  • Wait for the first load to finish, open a channel to test it, and star the ones you watch most.

The first time you open it

Bob Pro shows a loading bar while it pulls the channel list, then opens on its home screen. Live TV, movies and series appear as separate sections, and the guide fills in over the next minute or two. On the Xiaomi Mi Box S, the first load is the slowest.

  • "Invalid credentials": retype the server URL with http:// and the port, and check capital letters; the username and password are case-sensitive.
  • Bob Pro closes on its own: clear its cache, restart the Xiaomi Mi Box S, and reinstall if it keeps happening.
  • Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the Xiaomi Mi Box S. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.
  • Picture but no sound: set the Xiaomi Mi Box S's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.

Settings that help on the Xiaomi Mi Box S

  • Leave the box on standby rather than unplugging it, so the guide stays fresh.
  • Set the output resolution to match the TV; a 4K signal on a 1080p TV just adds work.
  • Turn on frame-rate matching in the box's display settings so 60fps sports don't judder.
  • Guide refresh: set the EPG to update daily so listings never run out.
