Yes there have been serious problems with a bad batch of dodgy Samsung eMMC flash chips on some M8S Pro+ boxes.
See the Freaktab forums.

As we have always said hardware reliability at the real budget end of the market cannot be guaranteed. Ever.
It really depends on which way the wind is blowing at the Shenzhen Manufacturing plant that week it seems.

LibreELEC on Mecool M8S PRO L 4K TV Box Amlogic S912 Bluetooth 4.1 + HS

That S912 Pro "L" box also has Widevine L1 DRM and HDCP 1.x to allow an Dual Boot LE / ATV ROM that can directly install and use Android TV - 1080p Netflix, HBO, 4K Youtube etc
Pretty snappy devices AML S912's - especially when combined with a Wireless USB dongle remote like a MINIX A2 lite.

Downside = No Reset Switch anymore on the new (fixed eMMC) MECOOL M8S Pro+ and "L" boxes now - if you totally brick them physical opening up of the box is now required to connect some PCB board contacts where the reset button should have been. These are now real "hackers" boxes.

LibreELEC can be initially installed and run from a SD card with an Android Terminal "reboot update" command to get Dual boot up and running.
