One more question. What resolution should I use 1080p or 3840x2160P? Whatever I set, that is what shows up on my TV display. I am running LibreELEC on my Mecool M8S Pro L (Amlogic S912), and it does change the Hz, but not the resolution. I am playing a BlueRay rip, so it is only 1080p. By using 3840x2160P, for the 1080P video, will it make a difference in the picture quality on my 4k TV. My eyes, really can't tell any difference.

Wrxtasy, was asking for a test of the Mecool KM8 Google Certified Android box, to verify that it is indeed Google Certified. Using the Google Play app on this device, in my library, I had the movie "Elf". When I played, it, my Yamaha AVR showed ** DD+ ** and the video quality ** looked ** to be at least 720 or 1080p, but not way to verify.
Now it is up to the experts to determine if this simple test shows that this device is indeed Google Certified.
Also, I did a search for FREE Google Play movies, and several showed up. I was able to stream them from my computer to the KM8, quickly and easily. My LG smart phone is not very smart, because it does NOT have a native Google casting function (at least that I can find), so I can't test that function.

Disregard my other post about the KM8 being Google certified.. I just played that Google Play movie "Elf" on a different box without and HDCP and it also played in HD with DD+. So, my test meant nothing............
P.S. Why can't I edit my post?? It won't let me edit..........strange.

I have more boxes running, but most of them are running Linux, or LibreELEC or CoreELEC, so they don't show up under the YouTube casting.

In the USA that would be Brick N Mortar stores like - Walmart, Bestbuy and others.
I doubt such devices would even get thru Customs to such stores if Google knew about them and they were not legit, but advertising as such.
