Maybe it's something with my region or my M8S Pro, unfortunately I've never been able to run the "Netflix ATV" app in one of my boxes. In my old box (V88 Scishion) the Netflix ATV app just stopped the moment it was started. In this current one it initiates normal but it keeps with that screen and error that I measured before. I really wanted to be able to enjoy the Netflix ATV experience if I needed to buy a certified box, in other words a MiBox 3, which does not make me very happy since it has inferior hardware. There is my internet is up fast, right of 10MB, I do not think it's the internet.

So, assuming that Mecool has started shipping new units of the M8S Pro with Widevine L1 (which I find surprising, but not impossible), then that's just one part of the equation to getting Netflix, YouTube TV and other string services that require L1 DRM. For example, you'll need the L1 DRM files in /system/vendor/lib. These simply aren't included in the M8S Pro OEM firmware.
Now, you could try to pull these missing files over from the M8S Pro L, but I've already done that for you in the 20171001 release (which was based on the M8S Pro L).
@lordofkek, are you willing to give that a try?

My M8S Pro also has that 'defective' (lol) Wideline L1. I knew that since some of weeks ago when people talked about it here and how to know it through DRM Info, etc...
At that time, Netflix always stopped crashing the whole system.
Now I read this statement of yours saying you included some files on latest build, the one I applied last week, so I decided to give it a try and install Netflix again... (edit: actually, you mentioned 20171001 build and I'm on the latest that I believe is 20171030)
IT WORKS!!! ATV NETFLIX IS WORKING! HD!
Thank you!!!!
Best regards!Last edited by Passaralho; 12 November 2017, 18:28.

Ok so this is a great rom - However it initially hard bricked my device to the point USB burning tool did not recognize the device anymore - In my case, it required me to install using boot card maker.
I used boot card maker with the Nexus rom and then shorted the 2 pins shown in the pictures before applying power 'insert SD card first'
This board may be different to yours, use a thin metal object to short the pins - If you have a different board design, your pins may be located elsewhere on your NAND flash chip.
Follow this
Open up your M8S Pro to gain access to the motherboard
Use burn card maker to burn the Nexus or Stock rom to an SD card
Connect HDMI Cable and insert SD card into SD card tray of your M8S PRO S912
Now get ready with your power supply, locate the 2 pins on your NAND flash chip as shown in the photos
Short the pins using a metal object 'screwdriver'
Apply power
----
Hopefully this will initiate the installation procedure for youYou may only view thumbnails in this gallery. This gallery has 1 photos.1 Photo

That's the OEM firmware release for the M8S Pro L. Given that VideoStrong released an update for the M8S Pro just 10 days earlier, it seemed unnecessary for me to convert it for the M8S Pro as there were no noteworthy changes made during that time (other than moving to Leanback Launcher, which I already do).
UPDATE: Okay, I changed my mind given that they bumped the version number to V0928.Last edited by Guest; 19 November 2017, 01:01.

Gonna try updating via OTA. I was one of the lucky Widevine L1 lol. Now Im running the original system and netflix mobile, wich runs HD but its interface is incompatible with the stock remote controller. I really dont care about netflix, I had a raspberry running OSMC and was happy with it, but my girlfriend watches netflix every night and nothing else. Wish me luckI'll post the results later.
Update 1: Guest , the OTA update link is broken, onedrive says its unavailable Nevermind, ive got this
