[ROM] Mecool M8S Pro L TVStock Nexus ROM (Android TV 7.1)
Just to be clear: there is no other firmware you can use for your LB variant.
So you'll have to find a solution to each of your problems separately:
1. YouTube hangs: you should update to the latest OTA stock firmware which fixed the youtube issue
2. Amazon prime: no idea, search if others found way to work amazon
3. Don't want to install apps via USB: I think there are a few special apps which look a little bit like Google Play but actually install apks. I think there is one called aptoide?
Thanks
As Giannis mentioned, no OTA update. Have tried as well, no luck
Amazon prime not working has something to do with the box not supporting Microsoft Playready DRM (i think) and not sure if that can be installed. Haven't been able to find info on that, still searching
The box comes with aptoide installed and I am using that to install the apps that I need. But nothing beats a full suite Play Store app. Still managing to use the box till, hopefully, a firmware is released
Thanks Giannis. I don't see an image attached, but that's ok
Will try uninstalling the updates on Youtube and see if that fixes it
Additionally for youtube issues read and this thread:

This firmware is designed for earlier models of the M8S Pro L with the QCA9377 wireless chipset. If you install it on later (non-LQ) hardware, WiFi and Bluetooth won't work.

Can you release a version for the LB variant or tell us what to change to make this work with this version?
I tried your ROM with the ethernet cable for a while and it works great! I had to switch back for casting and remote controls...
My wife has forbidden me from purchasing more TV boxes, since I have dozens already littering my office floor. So, you won't be seeing LB releases of this custom ROM unless you can convince GearBest or GeekBuying to send me one.

No loss of drm/netflix by installing this custom rom?
Wish there was a way to use external WiFi adapter somehow

Does this firmware support NTFS and exFat out of the box for external hdds and usb/sd cards or do I need an app to make it work like android phones?
Also, how do I know which Pro L model do I have? I bought it around 8 months and its the one without the voice remote.

Check under your box. You should see some numbers ending with some letters. You are fine as long as yours doesn't end with the letters LB.
I'm going to use USB Burning Tool and load the old M8S_PRO_L-NHG47L-20180316.143701.V0213.img on my Mecool M8S Pro L (LB version) and then try to perform the OTA update. Hopefully this works.
