I have this box and ROM V03 off Freaktab, I upgraded from ROM V02.
I used MX player off Google player to play some files the inbuilt movie player could not handle.
My Kodi is version 16.1 updated off Google play.
I notice in Kodi on this s905 box that if I try to select more than 2 channel audio it locks.
I can select up mix audio though.
I have terrible slow broadband and only a 1080 HD TV so cannot comment on 4k abilities. I just use HDMI to TV for Kodi and TV player apps.
Filmom app works but Filmon in Kodi stutters , probably my slow broadband.
Kodi video wise, I notice that there is a big difference depending how original was captured and then video quality scaled down. Occasionally very high def captures streamed at SD 750, almost looks 3D, with depth.
Have seen this effect when using iPlayer too. The transmission or encoding highly affect quality, I am guessing !

Hi all
Have had this box for about a couple of months now and it has not given any problem running kodi,
The only thing is now the remote got broken and I cant find a proper replacement remote for it. Bought one of the net for the m8 but it didnt work.
does anyone know if this works with any other remote out there Please.
Thanks

There is a lot of generic remotes that should work with M8S. I am surprised that your new remote doesn't work. Can you give us a link where you bought that remote? Maybe you can make that remote work.

The seller, after inquiry said it only works with the M8S not the M8S mini. Found that odd but when checked none claim to work with the mini.

I have this box and I am quite Satisfied with the Performance. Running The integrated Software Player The box is capable of playing 4K h265. The issue is the output over HDMI. Only the core of HD audio tracks is output.
kodi 18.7 and 19.2 are capable of playing the movie files but there is no audio output, whether over hdmi nor over spdif optical output.
does anyone have some experience with this box and kodi?
