I just received my MeCool M8S Pro +

Here are the specifics on the details of the box received.

MeCool M8S pro +

Kernel Version 3.14.29

Tuesday Aug 15 18:31.44 CST 2017

Build

M8S Pro + userdebug 7.1.1 NMF26Q

2017 0815.182813.V0321

OTA

Model M8S Pro +

OTA 90633006

Wipe Data and Wipe Media both unchecked.

All appears to be working with the above with the OEM supplied software for Android. With one exception, for some reasons You Tube live

videos end up with an error and will not play. I did download Kodi 17.4, works, came with 17.3 under the TV Media but I have not yet deleted the 17.3 recent addons work. Covenant and others. Need to figure out how to delete the 17.3 version but thats after I get LE working.

My goal is just keep the existing Android from the OEM as it is working, and dual boot to LE

So much information and threads on this box what may or may not work has me confused.

I did find the internal reset button thru one of the air slots just below the M8S logo, so it has a reset feature, I can hear it click when depressed.

I have not yet opened up the box to see what type of emmc memory is installed. I found that the KLMAG1JENB-B041 sec 652 to 713 are listed a potential bad memory and do not upgrade oem software or flash with anything else. At this point in time need to open and see

if this box is impacted. Not sure if this impacts the LE on SD or LE installed on storage internal?

Has anyone have any ideas if I can use the LE on the sd card and will work with the above?

I plan on using what I posted in thread 1315

Great Forum thanks to all

Waiting on MeCool M8S Pro + 2gb/16gb from gearbest. (s905x) has not yet arrived.

Goal: Libreelec via dual boot using high quality SD card Samsung Evo 32gb or similar.

I will use the following. Run off the SD card for Libreelec and keep native android supplied my manufacture.

LibreElec-s905.arm-8.2-8.1.9.img.gz

dtb.img (provided by "wrxtasy" sept 29 file and place in root of sd card or overrite any existing dtb.img

Or perhaps the gxl-P212-2g dtb and rename it to dtb.img...

Leaning on the wrxtasy file to start.

remote.conf I am not sure exactly what this file accomplishes? I think it may be specific remote key mapping, but what remote?

Is this for the included remote with the MeCool M8s pro +, or another?

Is this suggested improvement over native libreelec remote mapping?

If it is for the included remote, where is this to be placed. I am guessing that somewhere in the many Libreelec files there is a

remote.conf file which is to be replaced?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions hints.

Thanks to all excellent forum..tnx to wrxtasy
