Install Megatron's android build for the M8 and then install OpenELEC.

Here's the link for Megatron. Download the first link for M8

In OpenELEC 5.0.8 3D is fixed.

Updated OpenElec to 5.0.8, but no audio on M8, anyone had this and was able to fix it? I Enabled Audio passthrough, saw the HDMI grayed out, but was able to select Audio output to HDMI. Got the image from here hxxp://amlinux.ru/image/5.0.8/

In Kodi go to System...Appearance...International and set your Country and time zone city!

Or recycle your router

I messaged Kerber about fixing the no sound problem and the problem that when you use the power off option from the menu the box stays frozen when you turn it back on.

But I really would like this build to get fixed, because Kerber's builds are the only build that actually has all four cores working with low CPU usage.

The 5.0.5 build that Jonke did with codes build only has one working core and the 5.0.8 that you just installed only has two working cores. The other two cores have an actual percentage number but stays frozen, the percentage never changes. And when playing a movie only two cores are working with the other two always at 0%.

Kerber's builds have all four cores working all the time.

Hopefully he responds. I talked to a copy of buddies of mine to go in with me on a decent donation for Kerber to fix this.

I was going to ask Codesnake but it seems he's real busy with Wetek

I have a M8S with OpenELEC S806-S812 5.08 and have used some of the valuable information in this thread to create a remote.conf and my remote now works. I am having issues with the power LED and waking the box up from sleep. I believe a lot of this functionality is based off of the M8. Can anyone suggest how to fix this? Thanks!

[MikeD]

You can use another remote.conf but you always have to wake up the box with original remote/IR signal. So you have to think about a workaround.
I use a Logitech Harmony and signed the original power button to one of the buttons in my new layout. Now I have a power off (new remote) button AND a power on (old remote) button but I only have to use one single remote.
