I was 99.99% that was your chip. Now i am 100% sure. Thanks for confirming.
From now on issues with the Nexbox A95X should have the chip S905 or S905X confirmed when posting.
This is so important as it can cause wrongful instructions for fixes or comparison in behaviour.
So Android powers on and off with remote but LibreElec doesn't on S905. So this is in fact a LibreElec bug?
On Minix U1 it works, whichever version of LE i put, i can always power it ON with remote.

S905 k1plus user. The 26 build is not good for me on the live TV streaming side. The last 25 was better even if I had to restart the channels some time.
Is there a way to disable CEC? I've searched through settings and don't see anything. I have checked for peripherals under input devices and it's not there.
Not wishing to incur the wrath of the Mods, but I have upgraded to the latest dev build on my Nexbox A95X S905X 1/8 and when I go into the very well known Lambda addon and search 'Movies' and then 'Most Popular' the little wheel in the bottom right hand corner says 'working' but then freezes and power cord has to be pulled and put back in to reboot. Have gone back to previous build and it is back to normal and working again.

Go to System, System, Input devices, Peripherals, CEC. Disable the first option. Click ok. Done.

Try a good quality SD if you're not already. My boxes are very finicky about which cards I use. Cheap no-name "Class 10" cards were giving me all kinds of corruption issues. I only use Sandisk Extreme Plus and Samsung Evo cards now and no more issues.
Sandisk Extreme Plus 16 gb and no errors on it.
Very happy with your time and effort so I can enjoy my fast LibreElec kodi!
Running on a x96 works till now flawless
Ip TV, media playback just perfect
Only hdmi cec TV turn on and TV turn of not working.
I noticed that the add-on "Sleepy Watchdog" can turn off my tv.
Does S905X have support for 7.1 AAC?
I'm playing 2016p 10bit H265 mkv over SPDIF to DTS decoder and sound is a bit distored like playing in the big hall....
First time posting, hello allMany thanks to kszaq for spending so much time developing this for all of us; you're a rockstar!
I had read in one of the more recent comments that a user with the same box as the one I just bought had success, but I am having a little trouble. The box is a MXQ Pro 4k, and the issue I'm stuck on is getting the library synced up with the SQL database.
The only other android boxes I have used in the past have been made by MINIX, and unfortunately none of them were capable of playing HEVC encodes, nor were they candidates for flashing either OpenELEC or Libre. When I saw the MXQ for ~$45 out-the-door, it was too good to pass up.
Now I wish I had been aware of this thread, and the subsequent disclaimer that would have pointed me towards the WETEK boxes, which really do not cost a whole lot more.
ANYWAY, so I am stuck on the SQL database. I've samba'ed into the box, and uploaded the advancedsettings file (like I have done with all the other boxes/computers on my network), and that seemed to do the trick. Normally after I have done that with other devices, the "home screen" in Kodi will show "Movies" and "TV Shows" with recent lists displayed, as well as a fleshed-out library complete with cover art and the rest. I am not seeing any of that with LibreELEC.
Now I did follow the OP's advice and I have not flashed it over yet, so if this is something I should not expect to work with this, that info would be extremely helpful in advising me on whether to keep or ditch the box. I plan to buy WETEK boxes exclusively from hereon out, but for the time being, it would be nice to have this as the kitchen TV's streamer.
Thanks again for all your hard work, kszaq, and to all those involved in the LibreELEC project
I never had problem with 'TV Shows' and 'Movies' database. I guess your tricks (uploaded the advancedsettings file) just doesn't work on LibreELEC. There might be some changes in the SQL database version (at least it's totally different on Krypton). Did you try scanning your library again?

7.1 AAC was supported by LibreELEC, therefore it doesn't matter whether it is S905 or S905X.
SPDIF was designed decades ago and only supports 5.1.
Don't know what your DTS decoder means, guess it's your AV Receiver. LibreELEC or Kodi won't convert 7.1 AAC to DTS for your AVR to decode. Not sure what audio format the box will output through the SPDIF but I had no problem in playback of 2160p 10bit HEVC HE-AAC 7.1 mkv right from the very beginning, at least for audio.
I'm currently not near my box, but there are options to downmix and encode to Dolby digital for optical output... The theory needs testing...

New development build to test: 2016-11-26
Anyone wants to try 32-bit userspace build? Here it is: LibreELEC-S905.arm-7.0-devel-20161126114912-r23457-g2ce8a84.img.gz
A few things to note:
both builds have the same patches, kernel configuration etc.the difference is that in 32-bit build userspace is 32-bit, i.e. you can run everything compiled for arm but no dynamic-linked binaries for aarch64 (only static)you can "update" from 64-bit build to 32-bit build and vice versa without losing your settings - safe to try!when switching between 32-bit and 64-bit build you have to reinstall all binary addons or else they won't work!before reinstalling addons you have to refresh LibreELEC repo to make it download from the right URL
Advantages of 32-bit userspace build:
lower memory consumptiona bit more compatible addons available (e.g. Spotify)
I applied this update (like most of the test builds before) and ended up with the Google logo stuck in the upper left corner of the screen. LE did not start up. I put the build .img.gz only into the update folder and rebooted per normal.
Ended up imaging back to the original 009 release. A bit gun shy now, as I'm not sure what will happen if I image a test build. Will wait for 010.

Thanks for the help. The kodi build I was using for some reason hid the peripherals selection. Changed builds and there it was.

Thank you for your response! The version of Kodi that LE is running (16.1 "Jarvis") is the same as all of my other clients, so there should not be any issues with SQL db incompatibility.
I am hesitant to start my db from scratch just for the purposes of testing LE, especially when the problem could be with the box and not LE. Could anyone chime in on what steps they took to get a LE box working with an existing SQL db?
