Legacy v9.2 (LTS) builds for Amlogic S805/S8X2, S905/S912 and all WeTek boxes

  • hi dtech,

    thank you very much for your fast response.

    Here the link in the forum with a basic discussion about how to compile the addon

    [SOLVED] Building MakeMkv within LE

    The makemkv addon was already in times of openelec generated. In the makemkv forum there is a howto posted.

    Escalade, 5Schatten and several others built it already for Krypton and older Leia Releases of Libreelec. Unfortunately this addons are not working with the newer releases anymore.

    Makemkv for arm based devices is available.

  • If anyone has an M8S box made by Eny, please contact me. (Possible PCB IDs: M9_V0.92 or M9&M8_V1.0)

    I have been trying to find one for a long time because several people have already approached me with it, but I just can’t find it anywhere.

  • Hi MakaaiD,

    Basically, the problem with the M8S is that it has been made by a lot of Chinese manufacturers and there are at least 20 variants or more of it.

    They are basically the same but come with a different WiFi chip, a differently written bootloader, and multiple remote controls.

    My M8S (in which I just replaced a 5V1 zener diode because I smoked up it with a 12V power supply) is an n200C version.

    The copy made by Eny is a stock n200 and I would need that now. Somehow we should find out what yours is like.

    You should try my M8S+ version on an SD card. If it works without error (except for the remote control), it will not be of an Eny type.

  • Hi dtech,

    I tried your M8S+ version, everything works except for Remote & Bluetooth.

    All H264 videos works. H265 video 1080p some works but higher vibrate do not.

    Did not tried any plugins.

  • Then I don’t know what was that you tried to play, but it didn’t like it...

    Code: ffprobe 'Z:\_DEMO_\LG View The Feeling 4K Demo (8-bit).mp4'
    Input #0, mpegts, from 'Z:\_DEMO_\LG View The Feeling 4K Demo (8-bit).mp4':

    Can you send a media info (^ like this ^) that the box didn’t play?

  • is this good?

    This is the same file I sent. :|

    I quickly downloaded the other two files you opened according to the log. With my M8S, I got these results over Ethernet (via Samba):

    - Elecard_about_Tomsk_part3_HEVC_UHD.mp4 -> It works over Ethernet, no buffering issue.
    - TCL Supercars 4K Demo.mp4 -> 100 Mbps Ethernet is not enough for this bitrate, always buffering.

  • Hey guys! Just after reading your thread and going to ask a question :) Is s905D powerfull enough to run Tvheadend, and play sat channels without problems on same device with internal build in tuner ?

    Looking for to replace my old samsung TV where I'm runing oscam after rooting :)

    Definitely rather kodi way to play my tv channels!

    Unfortunately, I only use it with DVB-C, so I don’t know how suitable it is for satellite reception. Theoretically, this should not be a problem.

    But maybe someone will confirm who also uses it for satellite reception. ;)

    This plays without buffering or frameskip from a USB key.

    Okay, but then what is the problem? You wrote earlier that it doesn't work with all files, and I'm curious about those files.

    Not with the videos that work, because I have nothing to do with them.
