    The unboxing experience with the Mecool is positive! You may have watched the previous review of the original M8s which also was a wonderful TV Box.
    The user guide immediately refers to the remote which supports voice commands! Please note that the voice enabled remote is optional.
    The M8s Pro L - I have to admit - naming here is a bit annoying - looks great and feels great and has the same design as the rest of the M8s series. It is powered by relatively decent hardware - the best to date AMlogic octo core CPU, 3GB RAM 16 or 32GB ROM, good video processor.
    Connectivity wise it is nothing too impressive, offering only AV out, LAN and HDMI ports, 2x USB 2.0 and microSD slot. In fact this is exactly all I need, because I usually pass the sound through HDMI over my TV. Some people prefer SPDIF though, which is not available with this model.
    And so - we have an excellent starter pack.
    Let me switch the scenery to software. This is where this TV box truly shines! Android TV has its own glamour - with convenient launcher and a lot of standardized options. I immediately explored the menus - the well know android features, grouped in a way that is easy to access. And everything important is just a few clicks away! No bloatware, no lagging, no frame skipping - looks like the software is well optimized.
    If you are a fan of Netflix - this is the right device for you! Among the few models that can stream videos in maximum resolution. The rest of the players that are not Android TV certified, are able to play 480p only, which is looks quite horrible on a big screen. Because Netflix uses google Widevine certification to protect copyrighted content from recording - we need a device, which has L1 - like the m8s pro l. Most of the anbdroid tv boxes either have none, or only L3, which allows SD quality.
    I loved the fact there is preinstalled Aptoide - a Google Play alternative which is in some ways even better than the official store app - mostly because it doesn’t spy you that much and doesn’t need hundreds of services to do its job.
    Here is some data from Aida 64 - you can find more about the CPU frequency, sensor availability, even thermal info. Root is of course not there, and note that if you root the box, you will lose the Widevine certification compliance. And let’s face it - google has changed android so much, that rooting has no longer the significance it used to…
    The next test was geekbench - results were decent and we can put the M8s Pro l among the quickest devices based on the S912 CPU.
    Turning the device into a gaming station is a great idea! All I had to do is to add my Bluetooth Xiaomi gamepad. I have tried many different games, and everything remained smooth, without lag and usually with more details.
    With one word - this device is impressive! Starting at just 70bucks, you get the ultimate multimedia experience, with best-in-class performance and even Netflix at full power.

    1.It is not a certified box
    2. Netflix does not play on it at all if you found a way then 4K will never be supported.
    3. It lags a lot of times.
    4. No google cast.
    7. May not recieve updates.

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Aniket, thanks for the comment.
      Netflix works fine. There already are a few versions of the app that override the Widevine certificartion, and you can have it in full resolution.
      THe lag you may reduce by offloading some of the CPU tasks like animations - go to developer options and reduce them to 0.5, or entirely disable them.
      As for the updates - there were a few available throughout 2018, but unlikely to happen in 2019.

    Till now I at least watched dozens of review of this box (as well lower 905 version) - none of them shows or tells this much details about Widevine support L1 at the settings location and why someone does not root it etc - Very much informative and excellent script writing without wasting any time - Best review of this box in the whole YT.
    My question, If someone sideloads the Amazon Prime Video APK of NVidia Shield version will it run at all? If possible then please kindly confirm

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Arijit - I was expecting your take on the box, thanks a lot for the analysis from your your side :-)
      I will check these days about Amazon Prime Video.

    • @Arijit_B
      @Arijit_B 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank You for the response - I asked because I was being told Andriod TV OS doesn't allow Amazon Prime Video to be loaded...but recently came to know there are Nvidia Shield apk of the same exists and if it runs on this box at least 720p resolution it will be the most VFM box out there.

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Arijit - I haven't forgotten your request - it has been a busy week and couldn't make my way to the box yet. Doing my best to get it these days.

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Took me a while to get some time with the box , and here's what we got:
      - the first app tested was Prime Video apk from Aptoide. Installation was ok, it opens and can show the Amazon Prime Videos interface. You can browse the content. Unfortunately when you play videos back, the app crashes. In fact you can watch the whole movie with the error that it has crashed. But that would be annoying...
      - the second app tested is the one that you suggested - extracted from Nvidia Shield - and it works without issues. Only disadvantage is the lack of air mouse support - you hve to use mostly the navigation keys. I cannot rate what the quality is - looks more like 720p, but is overall quite good. So the Nvidia shield extracted app is fine and you wan stream amazon prime videos as long as you have an account.

      If you need android TV - then this one is better. If you don't care about distribution of Android (and that mostly is for getting Netflix and Amazon Video in HD) - then you can get any of these.
      Make sure to check the devices with the new S905X2 - it is as powerful as the S912 and has a bit more features.

Got it yesterday and it died today) I'm really hoping the claim of having the REAL Android TV OS on it is true because all the other boxes I see people are saying it's not real, just a clone wanna-be. And the specs on this box are really good too.

    After Months of enjoying Netflix in full HD, Netflix has finally blocked my Mecool M8S pro L in the main google play app. it comes up with error! Netflix has encountered an error. Retrying in 59 seconds Code:NW-6-404
    I tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it,
    Preformed factory settings restore. you name it I tried it.
    Can only use the Netflix from that Aptoide app but it DOES NOT play Netflix in Full HD!
    I called Netflix and they recon that there is a problem with that tv box and couple others now and they are working on fixing the issue, which I do not believe as it happened to my other TV box I had and the problem was never fixed.

    Hi. Greetings from Romania. I am new in the TV Box branch. I am planning to buy one budget TV box for my parrents. They want a box that is moving very well, with a good firmware. Most of the time they will use it for watching full HD movies online and time to time for my brother and me to play. Also if is possible to Browse the internet via Chrome.It will be great as well if we could connect an airpad mouse and 2 gamepad conntrollers for games. It will be connected to a internet cable connection. The box should have a display clock as well, if possible.
    Could you please recommend me one? Budget is max 70$. And could you please recommend a cheap/good controller and airpad mouse? And I have one question. Is it possible to watch Netflix full Hd with these TV boxes after the Netflix patch is installed? After watching your videos my mind is at Mecool M8S PRO L or Beelink GT1 Ultimate 3GB DDR4 + 32GB . Another question is: Is it possible to connect a 1,5TB external HDD to the TV box?How? Which one would you suggest or is the best for the price mentioned above? Thank you very much.

      Hi Vlad! Greetings back to Romania. Please excuse my delayed answer - not sure why, but youtube has decided to classify this post as spam and I discovered and unlocked it just now.
      It looks like you have researched a lot - I was indeed about to recommend you the M8S Pro L. The GT 1 is also a good box, although I have not tested it myself yet.
      THe M8S Pro L can run netflix in HD, and is overall very well balanced. You can install pretty much anything - so having clock, or any kind of preferred style is a possibility.
      As for controller - I still use the old Minix A2 Lite, which in my opinion is too outdated, but I haven't checked for anything newer.
      COnnecting and HDD will be fine - you can store files and run a torrent server if you like to. I've always liked transmission :-)

      @@TechMishka thank you very much for answering. I have another question. Which is the best TV box available on the market for late 2018? I discovered GT1 mini as well but I don't know if it supports DTS sound.
      Can you recommend me a box that supports DTS sound?
      Is it possible to watch a movie that has DTS sound via HDMI cable, even though TV doesn't have it?

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@vladbularca8731 I don't really know about the DTS passthrough and whether that will work fine... And overall - it is hard for me to recommend one. You may try checking with Chigz (ChigzTechReviews) - he maintains a super-duper-cool-list of tvbox specs and may have tried some more DTS devices.
      If you are looking for Netflix capable box - the m8s Pro L is still among the best. There haven't been newer and better CPUs (except rockchip, but they turn out to be not that quick) and the market is now a little saturated.

      That is correct - the one from Aptoide is crashing. I found one that is extracted from nvidia shield and got it from a post in reddit. It had a slightly different version.

      Hi Jean - there is no limit for questions :-) I always try to help as much as I can.
      If memories are not too bad - it should have supersu out of the box. WHich means that you may be able to use the supersu app, which can temporarily suspend root (without even reinstalling it). Alternatively you may try to flash Magisk - it is root with extras and you also have a feature to disable it temporarily.
