S905X Android 8.0 Oreo (Tested on Mini M8S II. Possibile to work on other GXL/S905X boxes. Testing needed! "WIP")

Hi! yes I always use it. This rom does not support hw ac3.

HW + works but not HW. In HW +, AC3 and DTS do not work through hdmi AV. receiver. HW + does not support passthrough.

it's not a hardware problem, the Android 6 HW decoder has worked

try MX Player Pro 1.9.19 (Patched/AC3/DTS Mod Lite)

its posible to flash this on a t95m/2gb ram, with the s905x?

I apologize if this has been covered and I have failed to spot it...

I have been using my Mini m8s II without problems for ages now, but it has started to pop a message after boot saying "Google Play Store has stopped" which I OK and carry on, but I can no longer get updates for apps like VLC, Chrome etc etc

I have asked elsewhere on this site, but still don't understand:

1) Whether this Oreo build will work with my box (I use a remote microsoft RF mouse with a micro-dongle, and just use VLC to play material from a RAID box on my (wired ethernet) LAN into a basic HDTV via HDMI - so nothing unusual or complicated I'd say. I don't use wifi, but I do use BT sometimes.

2) How to fully back up my existing config or restore the firmware if I brick the unit while trying to upgrade it. I don't have an installation image anymore, for the current software, but I recall copying an image on the microSD card a year ago....

My unit is a minim8s II 2G + 8G with S905X. I am on ROM1.06 and f/w build "p212-user debug 6.01 MHC19J 20161013 test keys", and my device was bought in Aug 2016. It has a diagonal grey log on the case that says "MiniM8S". I am not sure if it is the older PCB or newer type; both seem to exist. Can't open the unit right now.

Any advice gratefully received....!

Did not install and gave the 2% error.

Has anyone who got that error been able to install?
