RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - clarkss12 - 2018-02-24 Received my Mecool M8S Pro L with Bluetooth Voice Remote two days ago (Amlogic S912) (Third L box), but could not get the Bluetooth remote to work. After a lot of perseverance, I got it paired, what an awesome remote, mic works great. It also runs a lot cooler, not sure why. I got it on sale for $69.99 USD, total cost, about $3 USD cheaper than my Xiaomi Mi Box. Again, plays HD audio natively, and Netflix in 1080p with DD+, and YouTube in 4k, could not get HBOgo to install. As with all the low powered Amlogic boxes, VC-1 encoded videos do not play very well. The included Bluetooth/IR combo remote is fantastic, perhaps even slightly better than the official Xiaomi Mi Box remote. I made a video comparing this box and my Xiaomi Mibox, this was before getting the remote to pair with this box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpAE60JnCfU&t=230s RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - hdmkv - 2018-02-24 Nice video, thanks for sharing. So, what ultimately did the trick to get Bluetooth voice remote paired? I've been happy w/my $50 Tanix TX92 S912 box, especially after applying @wrxtasy's LibreELEC update providing 10/12-bit HDR playback. Will try leanback launcher today. Does one simply install the Play store version? RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - wrxtasy - 2018-02-24 You need an Android TV ROM because it has the required Leanback framework. Download the OTA Update .zip from Page #1 of THIS thread and follow instructions. RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - clarkss12 - 2018-02-24 Each of these Bluetooth remotes have different methods of pairing. The included Bluetooth remote with the Mecool M8S Pro L uses the volume down (-) and center (OK) buttons to pair. Took a lot of trial and error to find the correct key combination. RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - hdmkv - 2018-02-24 More involved than I had presumed; thanks, will try it out. RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - hdmkv - 2018-02-25 Pretty amazing for a $50 S912 box... this is under Android... Kodi with 12-bit 4:2:2 HDR, and YouTube in 4K: Click for larger images... watch gallery
Plus, getting terrific LibreELEC performance. RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - clarkss12 - 2018-02-25 What app did you use to get that overlay on pic 5 & 6?

RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - clarkss12 - 2018-02-25 Ok, thanks. It looked like it as displaying on a monitor. RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - hdmkv - 2018-02-26 Tried Sling TV and DirecTV Now, and neither worked on Android. As we already know, LibreELEC is just better for these Chinese S905X & S912 boxes. Performance is a tad sluggish on Android as well. RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - hdmkv - 2018-02-27 Moving LE to internal NAND has worked for me in the past, but isn't working now for some reason. From LE forum, instructions say: Quote:Run from SD card/USB drive first. If it runs fine, connect to your box over SSH, execute installtointernal command and follow on-screen instructions. This command wipes SYSTEM and DATA partition!So, I've done the latter several times, and I still get this... any ideas? RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - nickr - 2018-02-27 Code: find /|grep installtointernal By the way, cutting and pasting the text is infinitely better than screenshotting and posting a pic. RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - hdmkv - 2018-02-28 Thank you, but didn't work. Tried code you suggested, took mSD card out, rebooted and it takes me to Android launcher. Re-tried code, then followed it up with just installtointernal, but getting same error I posted in screenshot. Ask in LE forum? RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - nickr - 2018-02-28 When you are SSH'd into the device (when it is running libreelec) what is the result of the code I posted? RE: Budget AMLogic S9xx Media Player Options - hdmkv - 2018-02-28 Nothing... it just goes to the next line waiting for the next command. |
