kszaq i give up on this one.
My friend who owns this TX3Mini just took my old A95x S905 and said stick the Tx3Mini in the bin. 
I think i own it.
Just found out more issues from another user Link #83
Edit: Just tried to play files in Android. All same bad results using three players including Kodi.
Confirmed this S905W Chip is JUNK
Checked the SoC temps ?
LibreELEC (community): 8.2.3.1 (S905.arm)
H96Pro:~ # cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
66000
H96Pro:~ #
LibreELEC (community): 8.2.3.1 (S905.arm)
TX3mini:~ # cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
54000
TX3mini:~I checked temp via system info previously on both the H96Pro and the TX3 Mini whilst testing and both were in the high 50c.
Edit: Updated test above when picture pixelated playing a recording.
Jumped 10 minutes forward and picture came good for about 3 minutes and went bad.
Jumped 1 minute forward same thing.
The other recordings on 9HD and Live 9HD were tested during the 7HD testing live and recordings but only 7HD plays up.
Edit: Other HD Channels also playing up Recordings and Live TV. ABCHD/SBSHD
I even switched to the server Box TX7 to play 7HD recordings and Live with no issues at all.
It's got me stuffed.
I plugged the Hard Drive with the recordings Directly into the USB port of the TX3Mini and bad same playback
Edit: This is Hardware Related issue or Device Tree, I have no idea.
I just tried my K1 Pro with the same SD Card (changed Device tree) and an old A95X S905 Chip. WORKS PERFECT.
I even went back to Last Jarvis with this TX3 Mini SAME BAD results.
Tried adamg's 8.90.3 Same results.
Switched HDMI Cables and all.
I tried using a TX3 Mini and my H96Pro to try and use TVHeadend Client.
My TX7 is the server with TVHeadend. I've been using the TX7 with a hard drive attached and the sony play 3 tuner for a while with no issues whatsoever.
The issues i had today when i installed TVHeadend Client to the above hardware do not happen to the TX 7 with the hard drive connected via usb and the tuner also connected via usb to the tx7.
My issues are that playback of recorded files and live TV using the client hardware causes Pixelation Artifacts within seconds of playback. It seems to only happen on one station. 7HD. The recordings of 7HD seem to also be the the only files that cause this. ( More Testing required )
Live Playback on all other tv stations is fine using client hardware.
I thought this may be a TVHeadend Client issue until i used File Manager to add the TX 7 Attached Hard Drive as a source and tried playing the recordings from the station 7HD this way.
Piece of the recording.
The same playback issue again.
Ethernet connected all devices no buffering when this happens.
The FULL log is over file size limit for pastebin so i attach in the form of a zip BELOW
Part log of important bits.
Why not gigabit ethernet adapter
My home is Cat5 wired.
I have a 70 inch Full HD 1080p TV which is 4.7 metres away from viewing.
High Bitrate 1080p video files at that viewing distance is more than adequate. ( I wont go into the 4k distance to view quality thing )
In Australia there is no Free to Air televised in anything higher than 1080i
Highest internet speed available to my home is 35 Mbps. 
Why only fast ethernet ?
Sorry Tim , not sure what you're asking ?
I don't like wifi for media streaming for obvious reasons.
Whilst the ac Wifi on this Dongle works i still prefer ethernet.
That's why i ordered the adapter.
Too bad about the wifi, though; did it have issues straight out of the box, or only after running LE?
Had issues before LE. I'm running LE via SD Card by the way.
It has the same issues in Android.
Very good speed via 5.8 Ghz.
I ordered an ethernet adapter with Asix Chip. See what happens when i get it.
The Freaktab link is not really a guide for my version H96Pro S905x as the wifi chip is different as well.
I only paid US $34.00 for the dongle and mainly for travelling.
It runs off my Phone Charger as well.
My question is whether anyone has successfully run LibreElec on such AMlogic 'stick/dongle' hardware and if it worked stably or had any power/thermal/wifi issues?
I purchased the H96Pro S905X NOT S912.
Link #2,273
I power it via USB HDD input on my tv with no issues. Cable required.
My tv powers it off completely and when TV is turned on it powers it up. Cold Bootup.
Crap 2.4g wifi. Apart from that it runs LE from kszaq's latest 8.2.3.1 perfectly.
The HDMI Extender KILLS CEC .
Also the wifi on mine is not realtek

After you have the SD Card prepared with LE.
Add a Fake Zip File (Anything a text file and zip it)
Use the Update app in Android and point it to the Fake Zip as the update file.
See what happens.
he box doesnt have reset button ... what can i do?
The Reset button is accessed via a small pin hole at the base.
Thanks, that versions is working for me. There must be something about 4.3 that my setup doesn't like.
TVH 4.2.5-18 service.tvheadend42-9.0.117x.zip.
Same issue with my K1 Pro
Fixed with this this version.
Download got corrupted, it will attempt to redownload and apply again on next boot.
I turned off Auto updates after the last errors.
I then turned on Auto Updates after your reply and immediately got notification of update and then notification of update downloaded.
Rebooted and it successfully installed 8.90.3
Thanks again.
Winsat Model Combo Tuner AVL 6862. S905D. 1gb/8gb in my signature.
Fresh Install of 8.90.2
Update notification with the file successfully downloaded.
8.90.3
Rebooted with the screenshot error.
That file then gets downloaded again with the notification and reboot causes the same error and result.
Disable power off action in CEC properties window in Kodi.
I did that yesterday.( I did not have power off box when tv is powered off.)
I disabled everything except switch to source yesterday and box was alive this morning as normal.
Should be OK. Thanks for looking at log.
can you confirm - you used the "Enable SD card dual boot" in post #1048 to enable an SD boot and then tried to boot one of Demetris's 8.0 builds? I have a friends M8 and am trying to determine how to boot one of Demetris's 8.0 builds via SD.
Yes i did. #1,04
I've gone to stock Android on this box but the stock firmware still wont load LE with latest 8.2.3-m8
kszaq I have my TX7 (see my devices signature) on all the time and have had the box working perfectly well until the last few days.
The only thing different is i activated CEC which i didn't have activated before. Maybe a coincidence ?
Since activating CEC i turn on my TV and the box sometimes does not respond to the Factory remote control or my TV remote.
This morning i turned on the TV and the box was not responding to any remote control the time must have stopped when something went wrong as it was showing 4.10 am and the real time was 9.30am
It does not respond to the official kodi phone remote control on my phone even though it is connecting.
The box is showing up on my Network and i am able to see all the box files on my Mac.
I can also SSH to the box using Terminal on my Mac.
I issued a command dmesg as i didn't know what else to do.
Just tried LibreELEC-S8X2.arm-8.2.3-M8.img
Failed again.

Auto Update Worked on My TX7 (2018-01-22) 8.2.3.1
Is there a fix or workaround for this?
Knock yourself out. [HowTo] solve power on u-boot bug in NEXBOX MXQ PRO (s905)
Here's a tip that may or may not work.
Get yourself a usb a to usb a cable and plug one end into the usb HDD input of your TV.
Plug the other into the usb of your box.
Turn on TV and the box should power on.
This will turn your box on everytime you power on TV.
