Do all S9xxx boxes suffer from the stuttering when hardware decoding is enabled and subtitles appear or disappear from the screen? I have a Mecool M8S Pro L (S912 chip) which does that and I need to replace it with some other cheap box. Support for S912 seems to be too flaky because of Amlogic.

But for S905X, there's Jarvis available, right? Is there any big changes between Jarvis and Krypton? I recall that there were some improvements in the PQ.
I did try the Leia alpha build but as far as I could tell, the problem still exists. Funny thing is that so many platforms suffer from it but still it seems to remain unfixed. I would have expected that there was enough information to pinpoint the actual issue.

So what’s a good amlogic box these days for libre elec, 4K/ hd audio/gigabit Ethernet/flash storage (I don’t like Emmc)/all other bells and whistles?
I read through this thread and see minix neo might be a good choice. But wanted to get expert opinion nonetheless.
Thx

Chromecasting has nothing to do with kodi.

hello, i am looking for an android box to install LibreELEC on as a standalone OS. i currently use ASUS Chromebox but i am disappointed in the stuttering lately and wanted to try one of these boxes. i just want to be told what one to get as i noticed a there are a bunch of manufactures making the same stuff and i don't know what is good. i am located in the US. if you are supposed to help or don't want to advise that is fine. figured it was worth a shot, i am assuming i need a android box with either s905, s905x or s912? not sure what one is better, working wifi is key for my setup and i assume 2gb of ram. 3 might be over kill, and 8-16 gig nand or hd.
Thanks for your time

Assume this means you can use w/Kodi, but under Android OS only? Strange only 10/100 LAN, and not gigabit as most S912 boxes seem to be.
Decided to try S912 again and ordered a $50 Tanix TX92 box off eBay. Hoping 10bit/HDR works better w/my new BenQ HT2550 PJ (on pre-order) vs. Epson 5040UB.

Regarding 4K HDR content: does an S9XX box make a proper conversion with LibreELEC if the display is a FullHD non-HDR one? The max supported HDMI version of both the A/V receiver and TV is 1.4.
