I see quite a lot of these fishy ebay articles on ebay.de; they will have S905 or S905X as part of the name or heading, but will list the correct processor in the small print at the end of the listing. Mostly it is RK3229 boxes that are "SEO-ed" with the S905 tag. Some of these "enhanced" listings are harder to spot than others, and I can understand that an unaware buyer might easily be fooled.

Please check that you setup your speakers in kodi as "2.0" and then allow AC3 and DTS passthrough. For other formats to play in 5.1 (like AAC), you will have to use AC3-reencode as well.

hi bud, installed and running ok. I can launch a game by browsing to the rom file but when I click on scan directory it won't add any files to the collection, hence adding them to the main menu.
Any ideas?
I only tried a few roms, and they remained in one of the menus, so I could start them again later without browsing the files. I do not know retroarch very well, how is scan supposed to work? I have emulationstation running on a raspberry pi, which is much more convenient.

Check [LibreELEC] Run RetroArch on your S905/S905X device! - FreakTab.com
It works for me with both xbox360 wired and Xiaomi Bluetooth controllers.

dibotto I highly doubt that the Raspberry Pi image will properly work on the wetek hub. What version for the hub did you use?

Already fixed with the "nougat" development kernels. Use releases from here to try for yourself [TESTING][S905(X)] 10bit/HDR/Dithering Test Builds & Discussion or wait for these changes to make it into other releases

Please check [8.0.2b] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X
Did you use the proper device tree file for your device? p212 is S905X and not S905. Pick the right file for your memory configuration, copy it to the sd card and rename it to dtb.img (replacing the one already on the card)
If it still does not work you can also
- try all the different USB ports
- use a micro sd card instead

Just tell me what you want me to test. Linux command line knowledge is present, but maybe a bit dated

Tried it on the "Akaso" box; wrote the image to a spare microsd card and replaced the device tree with gxl_p212_1g.dtb. Libreelec boots, resizes the partition, reboots and freezes after showing the Kodi splash screen. Does not react to the power button or remote inputs. After power cycle libreelec boots, but always gets stuck on the Kodi splash screen.
With the default dtb.img the card will not boot at all.

the problem is with your TV set. See this thread for a solution:

Please remove the link to the seller, this is considered to be promotion.
If you already have the box, you can try it yourself. It is easy: write the image to a microsd card, copy the 100mbit, 3gb device tree file as "dtb.img" to the card and insert into your box. Power on while pushing the reset button, and you should be done.

I am very happy to update this old thread: with the latest "full nougat" kernel developments by kszaq and johngalt, the gap between S905x and S905 performance has been reduced even further.
My S905x box can now flawlessly software decode several cpu-intensive 720p hi10p files from my collection that I had earmarked when I did the comparison earlier this year.

saltanar The "nand" in the device tree file is only relevant if you want to install to internal memory and the "regular" device tree does not work with your device's flash. Both should work fine for sd card installs.

r26036 fixes all dvb-s2 720p playback issues that I observed with prior releases. Still impressed with the responsiveness on the S905X. I switched my regular use to the S905X box and will try to find media that exhibits problems with playback. While I understand that you are more focussed on the new 4k/10bit/hdr functionality, I can only test on my 8-bit, non-hdr, 1080p display
One remaining visible issue (also present on older kernels/releseases): 1080p hevc video is shifted one pixel to the right, with the rightmost line of pixels showing on the left side.
