You can check out the tweets and the user’s discussions screenshot on this issue below:

The OEM has also listed a few more glitches:

1) Audio is not in sync with the video
It’s true that it really pulls us off and ruins the entertainment so we put it on the priority list and have found the solution.

2) Video continues to play after pausing (without the audio)
Well, this is a critical issue and needs to be resolved pronto.

Issue: After pausing the running video, the audio pauses but not the video messing up audio-video sync when un-paused. This makes the video time stamp and audio time stamp differ completely.

Xiaomi was quick to react to this situation and came up with the solution, which is pretty easy. It was posted on the Mi community platform by Sudeep Sahu, who is the Product Manager of Xiaomi India and responsible for the Mi TV section.

The solution is as simple as restarting the app one your TV. Once you re-open the app, the issue should be long gone. Below is the solution posted by Sudeep Sahu, where you just needs to make sure that you follow the steps:

Believe it or not, this actually works in this case 😛

1. Open Prime Video App
2. Do not play any video
3. Exit Prime Video App
4. Open Prime Video App

Wait wait wait, what kind of voodoo is this? Apparently the OS in the current-gen Mi TVs is unable to store the proper config regarding the Prime Video app. A quick respawn should do the job. Xiaomi will eventually address this bug in their upcoming OTA.

Jokes apart, the reason of doing we are asking you to do is because of the server end config wasn’t getting saved. Without getting too much into the technical details. The steps mentioned above will resolve the issues giving you an uninterrupted playback of Prime Video on the new Mi TV 43, 50.
