This morning I flashed 'LibreELEC-MXIII_Plus.arm-LE9-Kodi_18.5.img.gz' on a sd-card and put that in my Minix X8H Plus.
All seems to work quite well: LAN, WLAN, Add-ons, shutdown.
Oh, my Minix 8h Plus runs on the Finless Lollipop ROM.
To bad there's no tar-file, with which I could have updated my existing 8.2 sd-card.

On my set-up, it helps to switch hardware acceleration off.
Does this solution still work with 18.1?
Is it possible to install on internal memory on a X8h-plus?
Did you read the first post in this topic?
I experienced the same on my X8-H Plus (did not test with my X8): The network interfaces are switched off after each restart of the box. I had to enable them in the LibreElec settings. Because of this, I reverted to the final version dated 020219.
well it workt i put the image finless rom on it that golden avator providet the link for ant it works well so i think i stay with this on this box because i think the box isnt good for librelec i better get a new box with a better cpu and put librelec on that box
LibreElec runs on your box. There's no harm in trying a dual boot with LibreElec on an SD-card.
yes that is the best for me because its an old box i tried to get the stock firmware on it but if i connect the box by usb burning tool my pc doesnt see the box very frustrated but thanks for help i will try that finless rom you provided i come back with hopely a good result
Do you use the USB on-the-go (OTG) cable that came with the Minix box? If not, are you at least using a USB cable that is capable of transferring data (recognizable by 4 instead of 2 tiny metal strips in the mini USB connector)?
Then follow the instructions at How to Use the Amlogic USB Burning Tool to Manually Update Firmware 2019.
well found a bug wen i push the stop button wen playing a movie all device freeze only thing i can do is put out the power plug and restart maybe there is a solution
I really don't think it's a bug. I suspect your 'bug' is related to the other problems you have been experiencing with your box.
My advice is to go back to the basics (that is, a working Android device) and restart from there.
- flash a working firmware on the internal memory of your Minix box (that could either be an official firmware (Android 4.4) or Finless Rom 1.0 (Android 5.1, and my recommendation).
(Minix XH8 - Finless Lollipop ROM 1.0 - FreakTab)
- once that is working properly, download datrhs final Libreelec 9 firmware for your device, unpack that file and burn the img file on a new or otherwise proven sd-card.
(Installation of LibreELEC [LibreELEC.wiki])
- patch the bootloader (to get dualboot)
(LibreELEC 9 / Kodi 18 for Minix X8,X8H,X8H+ and U1 (S905/X/D/W))
means your device can't get an IP address.
If your other devices can get an Ip address from the dhcp's router it means that my images doesn't support a x8-plus.
Your image supports my X8. I see no reason why it should not support an X8 Plus.
But it always change MAC after reboot. And router cant assign reserved IP.
In previous versions of datrhs Libreelec firmware the following solution did not work. It seems to work in the latest version dated 02/02/2019 on both my X8-H Plus and X8.
Solution
Open a file manager on your computer and browse to the following folder on your Minix X8(-HP)
\\LibreElec-x8hp\Configfiles\udev.rules.d
(I named my X8-H Plus 'LibreElec-x8hp' to distinguish between my two minixes.)
Create a new file and call it e.g.:
99-Mac-address.rules
(You can name it anything you want, but it is a good habit to use a descriptive name, hence 'mac-address'. The number '99' is not really necessary. It is just there to make sure this rule is applied after all, if any, of the other rules have been applied.)
Next, open the file in a text editor and copy and paste the following two lines into it:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="eth0", RUN+="/sbin/ip link set dev %k address 11:12:13:14:15:16"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="wlan0", RUN+="/sbin/ip link set dev %k address 11:12:13:14:15:17"
(You can use any MAC address, as long as it is not used by other hardware in your network.)
Save the file and reboot your Minix device.
On my Windows computer I then use Wireless Network Watcher (wnetwatcher.zip) to check the MAC address. Once you have verified that it is the MAC address you set, you can open the user interface of your router and assign an IP address to the Minix.
I have an older LibreElec installed on internal.
Can I put the latests tar-file in the folder 'update' in order to install it to internal or do I have to use the script?
During boot, remove all the usb adapters and let only the usb stick with libreelec plugged in the usb port near the enthernet jack. After boot you can plug in the adapter for airmouse.
An USB-stick with LibreElec? I have only a tar-file, that I put in the folder \update.
What (files) do I have to put on the USB-stick?
I can not even get the newer 8.01 builds to work. Only the 061216 8.00 buiild will startup.
When I put any 8.01 build in the folder \update on my Minix X8-Plus and reset the player, LibreElect seems to install fine.
But each time it hangs on the first start-up, during the initializing.
What am I doing wrong?
