A big thanks to you all !! I was a newbe regarding libreelec and kodi. But the Beelink GT1 Ultimate did not work on android (7.1) with Kodi, audio passtrough did not work (no DTS).

But using a fast micro usb SD card, and using the LE USB Creator, I installed the LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.2-8.2.2.3

Then I searched for the right device tree, which I thought would be the 3/32G variant. But with that the Beelink did not boot.

The I added the gxm_q200_2g.dtb and renamed it to dtb.img and added it on the micro usb.

And finally tried to boot the Beelink again, with some searching for the reset switch. Which is located at the bottom, and only reachable with a paperclip!

And yes, LE and Kodi where live. on 1080p/60Hz

With audio/DTS passtrough via pcm and full functionality (ethernet interface, remote control, wifi, usb).

For me this is currently fine, and i am not sending the Beelink GT1 Ultimate back to GearBest.

I did not try H265 and higher display resolution yet. Also did not try downscaling from 2/4K to 1080p yet.

@yetithebouncer : I run libreelec on my Beelink GT1 (not the ultimate version) for several months without any problem. Use a good microSD (Samsung EVO+ or Sandisk Extrem) and you are in business.

Do not waste your time to install it to internal, not a big gain with a good microSD.

Give it a try before sending back your GT1.

mike2002 which EL version do you use? Does ik come with Kodi?

and does it do DTS Passtrough??

Choosing the right hardware...

Currently I failed in buying a Beeling GT1 Ultimate (S912) android 7.1, i have tried to run kodi and other app via android, but it fails to passtrough DTS(-HD and MA). Video quality is very nice though.

After my ordering i have read the comments and advice from wrxtasy in not to buy a S912 box... Currently i have asked Gearbest if i can send the box back because it does not function as promised.

1) What should i do, can i run LibreElec with kodi on the Beelink, or will this faill due to the hardware (s912)?

2) Should I buy a different box? I have a 1080p TV and 5.1 high end audio set. But i would love to be able to play h265 2K movies and convert them down to HD. Furthermore should audio be very good, DTS-MA passtrough and for music Flac (24/192). I have and Xpenology NAS (18Tb).

-Should i buy a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (with low noise power supply?

-Should i buy M9S-PRO 3 /32GB Android 6.0 Box Amlogic S905X Quad Core 2.4G WIFI/BT 4.0 KODI 16.0 / H.265 4 K Mediaplayer?
