The LibreELEC forum will have the same "No Spruking" Android Pirate Box policy that the Kodi forum has. LibreELEC simply does not want to support sellers of Pirate Kodi devices. And that is the majority of these AMLogic cheap devices.
Every man and his dog would be pumping up their specific AMLogic devices otherwise. And there is a whole army of them.
Subversive sellers would get involved and there would be utter Chaos.
The other big problem that has been observed is dirt cheap AMLogic devices, with the exact same brand name, from the exact same seller, using the exact same Model number will have different WiFi and Bluetooth chips in them. And internal Hardware components get changed often.
This makes driver support very difficult and time consuming.
It really is hit and miss at the moment buying even (previously) known working devices, especially for WiFi. But you don't pay much for the device to begin with anyway.
I have no desire to support sellers of Pirate Android Kodi Boxes full stop. It's all take by them, and they give nothing back to the Kodi project.
I won't be doing a thread revamp either or opening a new thread. This one is it.
At least with a thread titled Budget AMLogic S905/S905X/S912 Media Player Options we keep all the questions for such devices in the one spot, regardless of whether its directly Kodi related or not. These devices are still Kodi capable hardware after all.
