HelderCR7, what image exactly did you put on your M8S+?
Is your remote working ok, or more precise... Can you wake up your box with original remote?

Will any of the LibreElec builds work for this box?

Here:
MEGA

you could find 7.0.2 version for M8S+, which is working fine except 2 things reported:

1. stuttering with LiveTV (didn't try it myself, videos and streaming are playing great at my box)
2. unable to power on box with original remote - just power off (you have to pull the plug to wake up)

I have no problem with wifi, but bluetooth have never worked with any openelec or libreelec on my Acemax M8S+

Quote from burimek

can you give me please link to download Kerber's 6.95 , you say with this version work the power on buton from remote??

or  edit4ever you have another version Drieschel's link, that works with MX3g/MS8+ clone

thanks in advance .

Here's the 6.95.1 link: MEGA

We can only hope that new version will solve both problems. Till then... we have to wait and I will unfortunately go back to 6.95 which worked flawlessly with power on/off
Thanks for your effort!

Kerber's 6.95 worked perfect! But I think it isn't remote.conf guilty but something with LE image. I will try .zip update and hardly wait for your version!

EDIT: power on is working when box is cold! Crazy!

Not true! Still the same (at least .tar file)
And Kerber is suggesting not to use images from /devel folder...

Thanks, roel, but what do you mean with "powering the box through one of the usb-ports"?

You mean to add additional adapter with male USB connector which will produce +5V?

Quote from drakulaboy

wrong, they have the same cpu

Just FYI, drakulaboy, I tried with your remote.conf, remote is not working at all, of course.
But I found another remote.conf for M8S. This one's working, also shows a small menu when choosing power key, but still cannot power on after power off.

It means it's not remote.conf related, the problem is somewhere else...

Nothing to add.

Thanks, but this is a topic about M8S+ which differs from MXIII-G. At least, remote is completely different, so I'm not sure it's going to work on M8S+. I'll try!

I saw the same issue on both of kerber's versions. This issue is when using an ATSC usb tuner in the USA.

What about power on/off problem?
This fw from /devel folder works?

Quote from drakulaboy

i solved my power button on/off problem on LibreElec remote.conf, when i push the power button it's showing that little menu with Power off, restart, and when i shutting down and puh again it's starting.

Can you post this remote.conf and where did you put it exactly (in Libreelec)?

Quote from edit4ever

edit4ever, as I can see there's two kerber's version:

1. MEGA
2. LibreELEC-Amlogic.arm-M8SPlus-7.0.2-update.zip

Did you experience the same power on problem on both of them?

I can test LiveTV on my M8S+, but you have to precize what and where...

I would not want to rush you, but it would be great if you could try to make your libreelec version if this kerber's is not smooth as expected (but regarding non Live reproduction I have no complaints).

Quote from ccccsales

You will need your remote.conf file from android. Once you have that, drop it into config folder. Reboot and remote should now work in LE.

I have M8Splus and used the same firmware which is working great, except power on. Power ofc is working good but you cannot power the box back on without re-plug adapter.

So, I think it's not only due to remote config.

I could confirm the same behavior with M8S+ box (S812)

Power off works
Power on works not

Power on & off malfunction is a blocking point for me!
I'll wait for a stable release as OE 6.95.1.1.

Acemax M8S+ (M8S plus)

CPU: Amlogic S812 Quad Core
GPU: Octa-core Mali-450MP @ 600MHz
2G RAM + 8G ROM
AP6330 WiFi Module (2.4G/5G Dual Band WiFi)
1000M Ethernet/Gigabit Lan
4K2K Ultra HD
H.265 HEVC
Link to latest OpenELEC build: 6.95.1

Acemax M8S should be the same except 100M Ethernet Lan

We're waiting (hoping) for a stable LibreELEC build.

Here's another user of M8S+ (S812) who would like to see Libreelec support for this device...

Edit4ever, power off on M8S+ works fine or just reboot device?
