What's better the 812 or 905 with the most up to date os?
2016-02-04, 04:05
s905 runs 5.1.1 android Lollipop, and is the current gen amlogic soc, s812 is the previous generation from amlogic, s812 will give you more stability as s905 is still really new to the scene.. s812 boxes will not do 4k 60hz and will not do 10bit 4K hevc decoding, s905 will, which is better is subjective to what you need it to do for you.
what are your requirements in a media player?

4k is not a big deal as of now. Smooth operating with android and kodi. I'm not looking to spend hundreds of dollars on something but also don't want to get a piece of crap.

Find yourself a Nexus player, smooth updated Android cheap and works good, I own one myself.

No issues with Kodi at all. It is all it does for me, Kodi. Not a prime member at all. The only setback you have to sideload Kodi, plenty of info out there, from installation to usage.

It was mentioned earlier, this link will provide you just about all your answers and should be able to make a decision from there based on your requirements.

I used to have a firestick so I'm familiar with the sideloading process. Can you install the "kodi" shortcut or have to use firestarter?

All of the above, can do the Llama/Kodi shortcut or firestarter.
I have it on the home screen caused I added it back when Amazon used to have Kodi in its store.

But I agree with others, even when AFTV is more than fine, Wetek, Shield or Google player are great options.
