[8.2.2.3] LibreELEC 8.2 for S912

  • Happy New Year for everyone!

    S912 Minix U9 - libreELEC [8.2.2.2] + gxm_q200_2g_minix_neo_u9

    I played files above connected to avr (marantz) by hdmi - log AFTd -:

    • flac stereo 44100Hz 24bit - sounds ok but it seems to become a 16bit.
    • flac stereo 192khz 24bit - is played on kodi -bars on spectrum add-on are moving - but doesn't sound on the avr because not any signal arrives it.

    Is it normal behaviour?

  • I only have a S905X M8S Pro + but the u-boot code for its bigger brother would be very similar.

    Using the MECOOL IR remote you can turn it Off / On. No idea about Suspend.

    The MINIX A2/A3 lite plug and play remote will only turn MINIX devices Off / On with its power button unless by some miracle it's Power - IR signal works with other devices as well. All other buttons on the remote work with pretty much anything you plug it into.

  • Would like to report that 8.2.2.2 works perfectly with my Beelink GT1 (2GB flash/16GB RAM).

    Summary:

    -Standby/sleep works reliably by following instructions in post #687

    -Ethernet and WiFi both work great

    -I'm booting from a microSD card. I had to insert a pin into the pinhole on the bottom to boot it for the first time. After the first boot, future boots don't require the pin.

    -Bluetooth works fine for connecting my Harmony Hub as a virtual keyboard

    -Refresh rate switching inside KODI works quickly and reliably

    -Watching TV sources with HDHomerun is perfect. I could never get this to work properly in Android (would freeze and stutter every few minutes)

    Big thanks to kszaq for putting this out!

    Powering the box on/off with that remote only works on Android doesn't it? The power button on mine does nothing when pressed running LE on a U9, i might actually put up with the stupid clicky noise it makes when pressing buttons if power on/off worked

    Powering the box on/off works on LE with A2 Lite and U1.

    Myself and GDPR-1 have both toyed with this remote, he had thoughts that the IR power on/off was actually sending an amremote compatible signal, neither of us have checked this though.

  • I have got my MeCool M8S Pro L wit S912 today and what i didnt know was, that the remote from the box doesnt work under Kodi, when you use dualboot for LE. Did i oversee that?

    Wrxtasy has a remote.conf for your box, his is for the Mecool M8S Pro Plus, but will work with your "L". I don't remember where his link is.

    The link used to be in his signature, but not there now.

    Found it,

  • I'm booting LibreELEC from SD card. How can I access to the internal 16GB storage as new drive?

    The root file system is on the SD card, and the file manager does not show the internal memory.

  • I didn't know the autostart.sh did not exist.

    Easy created. Now I can use the Android video store.

    I made it with Windows explorer

    -> Network \LIBREELEC\Configfiles

    without putty.

    Thanks very much. :thumbup:
