After Sleep from action menu can't wake up the device - it always boot from zero... Please are you able to build new nano version based on newer L stock kernel? 2/16 and 3/16GB. Better 20171216.102705.V0928 due to there wake up from sleep issues.

I take it that you're good through 1080p.
... Netflix Uhd requires a higher level of hdcp.
Good luck with that. A licensing issue, Not dev controlled.
If you have unprotected 4k source media, the Pro should provide the needen processing.

To confirm, use drm info app from playstore..
It will show you the level AND the hdcp protection authorized.
Someone will correct me, but I believe that uhd requires 2.x hdcp.
In any case, with exo drm player demo (@ playstore)
You'll be able to test various streams to find out boxes' actual performance level.

The widevine level is 1 and i did tried exo player and the box can play everything up to hdcp 1.x
from hdcp 2 and above the video stop after 11 sec.
Now, what this has to do with netflix? Do we have any resault after this test with exo?
thanx!

I dont have netflix but i think the widevine is L1 in my rom. Supposed that with L1 my box can play 4k? Thats why i ask

What are you getting? I did have changed the widevine L1 with 1.1 hdcp. Although I don't have Netflix, I do have YouTube Red and was expecting to have more Source material in fhd. Not so. I am able to test more of the DRM demo video files... That denotes that I'm definitely kicked up a level or two. But I see little difference in the world world. Sad

But sadly, see little difference in real world use yet.

Can someone with the latest magendaz nexus stock rom (non atv), confirm the maximum resolution of netflix?
thanx!

Sounds like you installed the TVStock variant (which is Android TV). Either the Nano or Stock variant should give you a non-ATV user interface and Google Play Store.

Hmm, I had hoped my Logitech Rumblepad 2 would work on this box now, but alas... On the Amlogic build of LibreElec the device seems to work, but any Android builds do not detect it. I'm quite new at this stuff so I was wondering if there was anything I could do to make it go. Suggestions are welcome!

I'd like to bring this one up once more. Any chance someone knows a fix? Any (mainstream) controllers that DO work out of the box? I'm hoping to get this to work so I can run some emulated games through Kodi. Trying this on LibreElec gets the gamepad going, but most of the emulating plugins I have tried require KODI to run on an Android OS.

EDIT: I managed to fix my issue by running into a bluetooth controller at a local pharmacy that had the word Android plastered all over the box. Just have to pair it every time the box reboots, but it works.

Yes, because the underlying OEM firmware is 32-bit.

Thanks for the welcome Clark & for answering, I'm a total noob with droidboxes (kind of veteran with droidphones), although I messed with this box the second I got it, I have TWRP installed, and it's rooted, but checked with aida64 for ABIs they say I specifically need arm64-v8a for dolphin emulator to work, for what I understand from here https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis.html that ABI is the basis for aarch64 to run so even if the build prop runs 32bit that ABI should be a part of the rom cause you say it's 64bit.
Can any of you guys help confirm that by installing AIDA64 app and checking in supported ABIs for arm64-v8a??

And have any of you tested multitouch support?

If i remember well, magendaz has said that his roms are 32 bit

[zenix]

What was the ship date of your device, and your original firmware version?
Are you getting full HD in flix or you tube (red), etc?

Would this approach apply to the s912 and your rom structure?

Shipping date was 9/17 from banggood. I dont know the original firmware ver. because as soon as it was in my hands i flashed mag's rom.
In normal youtube i get 4k but always the box crashes , probably because my internet is only 6-7 mbps. If i download the video, it plays great.
I dont know about flix

Welcome to freaktab. Let me see if I can help just a little.. the m8s pro ROM written by Magendanz is based on a 64-bit ROM, but the build prop is running on 32 bit.

My understanding is the processor load does it require more. I believe this is changeable in the build prop. You should inquiry the ROM developer here in.
If you're using an August stock ROM,
there's a lot more performance to be had.
