Mini M8S II 4K Smart TV Box Amlogic S905X 2/8GB WiFi 10/100 LAN BT

No Kodi not supporting all the different chipsets. They tell manufactures to meet thier API. Amilogic seems to be responding to that and working towards that. Rockchip not so much.

also got issue of box turning on itself how do i stop this?

Does it still have purple screen on older TVs?

With the August 5th update, yup, it's still there.

I have been able to uncover the bottom task bar by dragging the right mouse button up under Nova Launcher. Sometimes launches desktop setup, but works under OTA update 0805. Installed SoftKey Enabler and found out that it needs root. After killing it, I was bale to right drag to uncover the menu. Not sure if it allowed it or if it was there before. Anyhow, I can now hide/unhide it.

Updated Kodi via Play Store to standard 16.1 and have had zero issues with audio. DTS and AC5 pose no problem. Good device for UHD.
I am pretty pleased, but we have to get these guys rooted.

Already rooted and working....

Same here ... but the biggest issue i have with Kodi, is the "Adjust Display Refresh Rate" or "Auto Frame Rate Switching" does not work.

And yes, Root would be great ... so i can use my Sixaxis Controller App

The "OK" button on the remote doesn't work for me. I know the actual button works, because I can point the remote at a camera and I can see the IR LED blink when I press the "OK" button. But the M8S II doesn't do anything when I press it.

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to resolve this issue ?
Kodi playback with Adjust Display Refresh Rate on is much better. I tryed 2 box android (m8s II and beelink minixiii) but Adjust Display Refresh Rate don't work

I finally got the factory firmware.img file for this box from the manufacturer. The only problem is that the system partition size is limited to 1024MB so I can't add my addon pack because of this limit.

In the AML Customization Tool, on the Base Info tab, the partition names and sizes are corrupted. Is there another way to edit the system partition size limit?

Remove the existing kodi img and remove any unwanted apps. You will have to modify the system partition sizes by hand

I've already removed the kodi addons archive and all unwanted apps but there's still not enough room for my addon pack.

How do I modify the system partition size by hand?
