Mecool M8S PRO L 4K TV Box Amlogic S912 Bluetooth 4.1 + HS

Too bad that it seems only Stock firmware for new boxes.

I'm curious what are the benefits of the custom ROMs?

As best as I can tell, there seem to be only 2, and both are updated less frequently than stock.

Stock doesn't seem that bad either, just one or two crapware...

What page are you looking at ?

I meant the new Firmwares from 2018. Not older. My mistake.
I was on the Page.
Has anyone already tested the new on the LQ revision box?
If only the wifi module is not working that's ok for me.

Anyone know if there's a support email or a way I can get in touch with product/development for this box?

Looking to report some bugs.

VideoStrong are the developers ...

Is the latest Firmware compatible with the old Boxes? Can I upgrade direct from the November release?And why the older Firmware´s not shown on the MEcool Webpage?
Thanks.

I also have a fairly new unit, bought maybe a month ago from Gearbest. It came with March firmware.

I have no idea idea if it's one of the new models - is there a way to verify?

Just did an OTA update to the same FW meciu reported, and that Microsoft DRM is now supported whereas it wasn't before.

You have the model with the changed wi-fi chip.you can tell by firmware version and the fact it now supports Microsoft DRM.do not install older firmwares or custom firmware for previous boxes cos they are not compatible.

From reading some of these post, the newer "L" boxes have different WiFi/Bluetooth modules, and these ROM's are NOT mix and match. I have the older "L" boxes, and would be afraid to install this newer firmware onto my boxes........

HUM. What is the wifi performances with the most recent version?

+1 Just what I was wondering ... The strange change in version suffix i.e. v03xx, then v06xx, then v09xx and now suddenly (backwards?) to v02xx series ???

I shall probably have to wait for the expert to release a Universal Super ATV Mod !

I guess I am missing something, where can you pick up these Mecool boxes for under $30???

My mistake, I saw some different models ranging from $36 and up. But most of the MeCool M8 Pro L are double that or more.I stand corrected.Still, reasonable, I think for an Android v7.x preloaded with apps and cool features.

that is why i prefer to stay on stock rooted FW

In few minutes I'll provide a download link for latest OTA M8S PRO L-userdebug 7.1.2 NHG47L 20180417.150752.V0213
It only will work with 20180316.143701.V0213 Firmware

//edit
It has libdrmclientplayreadyplugin.so file inside so I think that this OTA enables Microsoft Playready DRM

What is this exactly "Microsoft Playready DRM"? What can you do with this?
