I got 3 movies to try out but haven't had the chance to test them. I will have access to a 4k hdr tv this weekend. I'm wondering if the 100Mbs will be the bottleneck. Would a s912 be better for this? It sounds like its firmware isn't quite there yet. Is that not true?

Hi guys

Be aware LibreELEC on the S912 is:
- Very Experimental - due to using hacked together Android GPU drivers.
- Displaying graphical artifacts on the User Interface
- There is no Kodi dynamic refresh switching
- Unstable as a Kodi media player - subject to crashes and reboots
- AMLogic seems to be unwilling to Licence from ARM the - T820 Mali Linux GPU drivers that are really needed for LibreELEC on S912's.
I'm going to squash any information that the S912 is a viable LibreELEC Kodi platform right here right now.
It offers NOTHING so far as Audio and Video - LibreELEC Kodi media playback is concerned over the relatively stable AML S905x LibreELEC boxes.
Bigger number are not better !

Plain and simple:
- S905: 2160p60 + BT.2020 + 10Bit
- S905X: 2160p60 + BT.2020 + 10Bit + HDR10
- S912: 2160p60 + BT.2020 + 10Bit + HDR10 + Dolby Vision
Dolby Vision may however be available to other devices in the future via software decoding, if the hardware is up for it. I don't know if that will apply to S905(X) or not.

Sorry, apparently I was misinformed.
So the only 4K capability of the regular S905 is 2160p60 @ BT.709 @ 8 Bit?
