But it is not working with your kernel.

Thanks for the feedback,
i use kernel source from Koxx, i just add Realtek 8723BS module driver from LibreELEC.
i use VLC for playing Movie, you can see in the screenshot attachment.

and for Kodi, its only have Blackscreen, if i read first post in this thread http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=138&t=19403
its because Alpha Blending issue.
but, i dont realy care with Kodi, i will use LibreELEC if i want to use Kodi.

btw, if you using minimx_ubuntu_mate from Koxx, can you using thoose HW Video Player?
and after you use my Ubuntu Mate Images in your Mini M8S,
What about Realtek 8723BS Wifi driver, do you have problem with it?
And If run it 24 hour or more, do you Hang or Freeze or Rebooting problem?


i will try to kompile c2play and see it.
edit:

You can use Kodi if you set mpp from 32 to 24 in s905_autoscript
But if you use it with X, you will have flickering.

With 8723bs module loaded and kernel 3.14.79 minim8s shuts down instead of reboot.

hmmm, you need to get the right kernel source and module driver source, then compile it.
but like i told you , its not working with kernel 3.14.79 because different gpu driver.

If you want HW Accelerated Video Player, you can using Kodi With kernel 3.14.29+
But you have to change s905_autoscript with this one - http://www.mediafire.com/file/iuobso...-24mbpp.tar.gz

Most likely yes, but WiFi and BT may not work out-of-the-box and you may need to find the DTB file for that box.

Thanks for the info,

I found dtb.img file for that exact box (https://mega.nz/#!mtdgxQaZ!yuhYBuMme...abh0ZyI-9swx2Q), but what should I do with it?

Hi, still using the first koxx image on my side, running nice as a server.
Can you explain why i got this error message when i do apt-get update:
"W: http://oph.mdrjr.net/odrobian/dists/xenial/InRelease: Signature by key F3230DD84F39A606727D3D5D1B881FD777439C3B uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1)"

I think it is only a warning (the odrobian SHA1 signature key is too weak). There is not much one can do about it. I guess odrobian key needs be made stronger?
