Any LE boxes lacking Bluetooth can have a $4 - v4.0 CSR Bluetooth USB dongle added to them.

Even combined WiFi/BT can be added with Realtek RTL8xxx (Edimax USB dongles).

Then once Bluetooth is up and running you can use the fastest, best quality, ergonomically designed, simple remote on the market, the...

- $11 Xiaomi Mi Box BT remote.

The speed of this BT remote adds a whole new dimension to using LibreELEC Kodi, day to day.

There is even a Xiaomi BT remote LE DIY I have been working on.... (click)

Thanks. I'll go sit down now.

BB2 has wifi antenna, so maybe reception is better, but I don't know if Libreelec wifi driver is available.

I have a Beelink MiniMX III II that lacks Widevine Level 1 support but does have excellent wifi and bluetooth. I also have a MECOOL M8S Pro+ which does have Widevine Level 1 and plays Netflix superbly but no bluetooth and crappy wifi.

It's like they are doing this on purpose. I'm done though and won't buy another media player, just a good remote (which is quite a query too).

Only thing on my list I'd really like to have is smooth playing of Hi10P 1080p media. Impossible for now.

So this is the right one to buy?

Mecool M8S PRO L 4K TV Box Amlogic S912 Bluetooth 4.1 + HS 3GB RAM + 16GB ROM  -$57.99 Online Shopping| GearBest.com

What the difference with MECOOL BB2 PRO apart Netflix hd?

A quick scan shows me the "MECOOL M8s PRO L" lacks spdif /optical.

The S912 MECOOL M8S Pro has Widewine L1 and HDCP 1.x certificates. You can might be able to get 1080p Android TV Netflix from it with the right Android TV ROM from Freaktab

That would be the MECOOL-M8S-PRO-L. Don't forget the L.

don't have this box so wouldnt know.. do other builds work?

Bluetooth works in all kzsaq's 8.2 builds, yes.

Is it to be expected that Bluetooth doesn't work? (see my signature for my hardware)

Is this the latest build? And if so what is different from the previous one?

I don't know if this is the normal way the Netflix addon works but it only occasionally shows movies in 720HD. Most stay around 640x480. Is this the expected behaviour? Is there any forum I can go to to discuss this?

Quote from Gendo

which addon do you need?

Dropbox - pvr.dvbviewer-999.3.3.1.2.zip

Dropbox - pvr.hts-999.4.2.1.2.zip

Dropbox - pvr.iptvsimple-999.3.3.1.2.zip

PVR IPTV Simple. Sorry, didn't know there was a new package.

working pvr addons

Sad to say it doesn't work. Not with the available plugin nor with the one provided in this thread.

New build based on JGalt's repository + kodi master + inputstream master + latest kernel

Dropbox - LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-Leia-testing.tar

updated

Dropbox - LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-Leia-testing.tar

What's in the updated version?

Funny thing happened.

I prepared my Mecool m8s pro+ to run Libreelec by putting it on a sd card. It was the latest 8.1.6 version.

I was distracted for a few minutes but proceeded to install it on the box using the reset method.

When it booted up I was surprised to see icons of Youtube and Netflix (with the last one giving away what had happened).

I had apparently used the SD card loaded with Leia (Libreelec 9.0 alpha) from my Beelink MiniMX II 3 to boot up the Mecool.

To my astonishment everything works perfectly even with both remotes and Netflix plays fine, without a hitch at 720.

Bluetooth and WIFI don't work ofcourse but who would have thought that this would work, ey?

Quote from Jönke

How to: curl -Ls getwidevine.sh | bash on this build?

"

grep: /etc/os-release: No such file or directory

ERROR: Unable to determine ARCH for this system!

ERROR: Specify ARCH=arm or ARCH=x86_64 if /etc/os-release does not define a suitable ARCH "

Why? Netflix only works in libreelec 9.0 alpha/beta.

Netflix doesn't play anything using test8.

Quote from kszaq

Gregoir3 First use 8.0 build and then upgrade to 9.0. John's and Wrxtasy's branches miss some essential code for partition labelling.

Thanks. Worked! Netflix works too!

Get this error "can't access tty, job control turned off"

New j version skews my sound (like listening to a elliptical record.), sounds goes loud on and off.
