NoI would like to know if Minix X8H-Plus upgrade to 5.1.1 is possible with OTA ?
Actually i use kitkat 4.4.2
This method works wellAnd last question :
upgrade is possible with usb stick or i must use a sdcard ?
because my computer is 100% linux, i can't use any program to connect the minix to the computer.
I can only flash with usb/sdcard.
Note that it is recommended using a PC to flash the firmware, because the method using a USB stick can only upgrade, while using a Windows PC is able to flash any version of firmware you want.
Literally just done this! The burn program on my laptop would not recognise that the Minix was attached, the USB picked it up and enabled device drivers so I could see the Minix on Windows file manager though. That's the method this thread advisesHi new member here please be gentle.
A U9-H is on the way (which is why I joined) but I want to use my old X8-H Plus with another TV.
I tried the Update option in Settings but nothing happened.
I did see that it does not update rooted devices......does the reference to 'root' in the Kernel version mean that it is?
I've downloaded the 5.1 update files from here but haven't tried yet....should they work on my X8-H Plus?

Guys, Lollipop FW was released by MINIX primarily so that future Kodi versions would be compatible.Literally just done this!

I ended up using the SD Card burn method in the end which is in a separate thread. That worked ok
I don't just use it for Kodi. A lot of the other TV apps (iPlayer, All4 etc) were starting to perform poorly on Kitkat. They're mostly better with Lollipop (apart from Sky Go - separate thread)Guys, Lollipop FW was released by MINIX primarily so that future Kodi versions would be compatible.
If you have no issues other than Kodi incompatibility with KitKat then I suggest you stick with KitKat.
For Kodi there are forks availablle that work with KitKat!
Still happily using KitKat here with no iPlayer or All 4 issues!I don't just use it for Kodi. A lot of the other TV apps (iPlayer, All4 etc) were starting to perform poorly on Kitkat. They're mostly better with Lollipop (apart from Sky Go - separate thread)
The Minix XBMC 16.3 is still available once the Lollipop OS is loaded. So why wouldn't you trial this and download/use a Kodi fork that works with Lollipop as well?
I was slightly mystified that the Metro "Settings" folder had lost all the Minix specific options though.
sorry, works SPDIF PASSTHROUGH in this firmware?
yesI can play ac3 5.1 dts and dolby files?
Verifying that this fixed the sound issue for me!Try this : do a factory reset and then test again. If the problem remains i suggest you reinstall the firmware again.
