Edit, I am waiting for the MECOOL M8S PRO Plus, Amlogic S905X, the one without the PLUS is an Amlogic S912. The
Thanks, I thought so. I just stumbled over that box during research, but built-in wireless is not supported by LibreElec yet ( as pointed out by wrxtasy some posts above ).
All my devices are hard wired with gigabit Ethernet.
I just got this box (MeCool M8S Pro+S905X 2/16) today (ordered yesterday! WooHoo for Amazon Prime)
Another confusing vendor nomenclature as the S905X and the S912 BOTH are designated the M8S Pro+
My very first reaction is in regard to the wireless - it's just as well you have ethernet, as the wireless on this device is pretty much worthless
I'm only getting about 1.6Mbps download in a location where I was getting about 60Mbps with the Mi Box - or if I use an external Wireless adapter
Only 2.4G - NO 5G (the Amazon description says Dual Band - it's NOT)
Also note that no S905X boxes - this one included - are gigabit - it's 100Mb
Have not yet tried LibreElec in dual boot but again the lack of ANY WiFi capability for LibreElec (let alone its already very poor performance on Android), is already testing my patience
Auto Frame Rate switching not working (in Android) from what I have seen so far - need to play with it some more
Already thinking about return to be honest - nice thing about Amazon!
I almost went with the S912 version then second guessed myself - might just give that one a go or just try the new(ish) Minix
