Hi,
Just popped on to say thanks, upgraded from an old kszaq build to LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2.5-Chroma.422.10bit and all is great.
Using the new device tree I've bumped up the GPU, the GUI seems smoother now, also a big plus is the option to disable the interlace post processing. I have recently brought a Pi TV HAT and am using a Zero running TVHeadend to stream live TV, I was seeing the red artifacts in kszaqs builds that made it unusable really, all gone now !
Thanks again !
Image update S812 20180122
Just tried this and your images boot on my device again and work perfectly, MANY thanks !!!
I have audio issues with version 8.2.1.1. When playing FLAC Audio Files, there is a scratch in the tweeter. Even with films without DTS or DTS-HD encoding, this problem occurs.
It is a Minix Neo U1 player. The AVR is a Marantz SR7010. Does anyone else have this problem?
I am running this on two boxes, I can't say I've noticed it. Have you got a sample to test?
But I want a powerful chip so I can play 4K videos with 10bit
You REALLY need to read the advice given in these forums, you appear to know nothing about these boxes and will end up being disappointed by making assumptions like the one above.
Hello everyone. I want to change my tv box MXIII-G with a new one which will play 4K videos (with newest chip like S912) . Which one to buy so I can use the LIbreelec firmware with dualboot ?
Read the info on these boards ! The 912 devices should be avoided !
That I accept no problem there, to me though it seemed a bit disrespectful to the guys providing these images.
Maybe I'm too sensitive? 
Moved to the Amlogic community section where hacked-up versions of Kodi are 'supported' by their creators.
Bit harsh !
Hi,
The filesystem corruption issue with the Balbes150 builds and no audio pass-through in the Demetris builds finally pushed me to give up and go buy another 905x box so I could use the Kszaqs build, that really is rock solid for me.
Balbes releases stopped working in June here, LibreELEC-S812.MXIII_Plus.arm-17.3_20170622 was the last working one, every release since then has had this issue, whether it be an update or fresh install.
With the Demetris builds audio pass-through broke on the last round of beta releases, couldn’t live with that I’m afraid.
My 812 box I re-purposed as a Lakka gaming box so not all bad...
I have a copy of LibreELEC-S812.MXIII_Plus.arm-17.3_20170622 if you want to try it, pm if so...
Hi Guys,
I've recently brought a cheap unbranded external DVD drive primarily for use on a laptop, out of curiosity I plugged it into my MXQ 905X box to see if it was detected, unfortunately it didn't appear to be, certainly I could see no discs when inserted...
On my RPi 3 it is detected as 13fd:1040 (initio corporation inic-1511l pata bridge).
Could anyone tell me or show me where to look to see if this chipset is supported by LibreElec / AMLogic ?
Many Thanks !
Hi Chewitt,
Thanks for that, very informative! Please understand I’m a really just curious I have no axe to grind in anyway shape or form J
I don’t think anyone could argue too hard about dropping support for the MX chips, I would imagine given their age and the slow emergence of 4K, X265,10bit content/hardware people would be looking at upgrades anyway..
I kinda see where you are coming from with the “Develop in release” statement, maybe a little too much tinkering, but then on the flip side you need to get build sout there to test and get feedback, down to labeling I suppose…
I have seen Kszaq mention the new kernel so it looks like the awareness is there, maybe when he is back in the swing of things we will see some love for the 905 chips in Git ?
Thanks again…
Hi,
General question out of curiosity, no dates or firm commitment required…
I see talk of AMLogic devices moving over to a mainstream kernel at some point, I guess simplifying the support and build processes, would that mean there is a chance of the better (Kszaq’s) builds being merged into an “Official” release for the 805/905? based boxes ?
Like I said just curious....
Here is a Beelink remote.conf works with LibreELEC-S905.arm-7.0.3.012c.img.gz
Thanks @ Poida for the remote.conf file

Here's a MXQ remote.conf works with LibreELEC-S805.HD18Q.arm-7.0.2.7
Perfect, huge thanks !
Hi,
Just taken delivery of a OTTV Box, MXQ PRO+ S905X 4K 2GB/16GB with Android 7.1.2.
Kszaq's build with the vanilla gxl_p212_2g.dtb device tree and the OTT MXQ remote.conf boot and work perfectly, WIFI and BT are both seen.
Pass-through audio works as expected, 1080 HEVC rips played as smooth as...
There is a Logitech Harmony profile for the OTT MXQ remote.conf so setting this up was V simple...
The android looks like the usual old toilet, not played with that....
i would but I don't have the box yet.
Someone local is having a clear out so wondered if it was worth a punt on buying it.
Looking at all that has been posted here over the course of 89 pages, probably the worst that can happen is no wifi/bluetooth. It appears that MOST of the cheap 905/905x boxes seem fairly common with regards to design..
I wouldn't pay a lot for it, you can pick up a 1/8 box from one of the big Chinese sellers for £20 odd,,
Has anyone tried this on a tonbux T11 box? Info on this box is scares but I believe it is s905x with 1GB ram
Burn an image to an SD card and have a go, what have you got to loose ?
Please Demetris could you upload the tar file of 8.2 final for the MXIII-PLUS ? I can see only the img file
I want to put the tar file in the update folder as I usually do
Try putting the .img file in the update folder, I'm fairly certain I have done this before and it's worked....
Have the audio pass-through issues been resolved ?
Sad to see you leaving this build Demetris, thank you for all your efforts !!!
Display MoreDemetris,
I'm having the same problem across two devices with the last two updates.
LibreELEC-S8X2.arm-8.2.RC4-M8.tar (and RC3) for the G-Box Q
and
LibreELEC-S8X2.arm-8.2.RC4-M8S-PLUS.tar (and RC3) for the G-Box Q2
I know the builds aren't built specifically for those boxes, but they're the same architecture and they've worked flawlessly up until the RC3 update. Anyway, the issue is that there is now no sound what-so-ever. As far as I can tell, the audio hardware is identical to the M8 as well. I'm not sure how to pull up the specs from the device though.
