WeTek Hub or WeTek Play2. Those are officially supported and you have dual boot LE and Android.

But the WeTek Hub 4K UHD got only 1GB RAM.. is it enough for Kodi @ LibreELEC?

What's in program for the k version, kszaq?
Thanks a lot for your splendid work on LibreELEC!

Ciao

Quote from Tim_Taylor

digital sound via HDMI is working good with every box.
4k video is the first problem, HDR the next problem

Best choice for me -> s905x box

s912 = experimental -> Minix U9-H

Don´t need HDR ?
Minix U1 based on s905 chip

Want Power ?
Intel NUC

Thanks for your analysis!

Not true.. i got a X96 and a T95Z Plus.. sound is 99% only PCM.. very rarely Dolby 2.0 and DTS 5.1 working!

You want excellent sound and smooth 4k ?
My opinion:
1. You need "more power"
2. You need excellent AVR & loudspeakers

I spent a lot of time using this cheap chinese boxes bases on Amlogig chipset -> It´s a DYI system

Crosscheck:
s905x box vs. Kaby Lake Notebook
Playing problemfiles(banding, stuttering etc.) reported by other users
Then playing ripped UHD movies

Result:
What´s better than more power ?
Just "more power"

I got a Bose LifeStyle System and a Sony Bravia TV.. i just looking for a good Dolby passthrough device to get the right sound!

I did it as always by dd Installation - LibreELEC .
I also have K1pro (s905 1/8GB) and "mini m8s" (s905 2/8GB with nand) and I know how to make bootable SD to amlogic :).

I even tried second SD moment ago with fresh download from LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.0-8.0.1f-experimental.img.gz with the same result: android recovery.

I know purpose of first boot from toothpick metod (aml_autoscript sets env to boot if there is sd from sd elseif usb etc). I'll try with usb and toothpick.

Did u put the right img.dtb file in the SD card?
I had to change SD card.. the best one is the 16GB Lexar (10x).. with another one (Sandisk) i had the same problem of Android recovery!

Quote from dzikus

I have "M92S plus" 2GB/16GB but no luck to boot from SD.

I tried:
- terminal emulator with "reboot update" - result android recovery
- toothpick method - result android recovery
- recovery method (3rd variant):
adb connect ip:5555
accepting rsa
adb reboot update
with the same result android recovery (picture attached):

How can I boot from SD first time on this S912? Please any help.

I think u didn't make a good bootable SD card.. with Mac it didn't work.. i had to use Windows and i had to use Burn Card Maker to make it go!
Then with toothpick method all went ok.. leave the toothpick there till LibreElec starts!

My Zenoplige T95Z Plus S912 2G/16G with v8.0.1f version works ok (wifi 5GHz, remote, external keyboard all perfectly working).. but only on some IPTV channels and few HD movies i'm able to get DTS (2.0 or 5.1) - only PCM audio on youtube clips (any encoded audio).On audio setting page i put: Channels: 5.1, Best matches, Passthrough and all the decoders on..

Any help?

Thanks for the wonderful job, @kszaq!
