Hi!
I ordered this board as a cheap multimedia center to TV.
BUT: When I run Ubuntu or Lubuntu, 720p videos are freeze (fps around 1???) and sounds go on - no setting help (I tried manuals, but I don't understnad linux)
I tried android - boot OK, BUT! I can use only 1 usb device at time and flash drive doesn not connect and ethernet not work at all

SO: What I have to download, to just watch movies (720p)???

OpenELEC is the best for movies. Up to 4k resolution.

Ye, I tried it yesterday, but 4K? I tried 720p and there was serius degradation (fragmenting)

There seems to be an issue with Orangepi run when using OpenELEC. Lubuntu/Armbian works but not the OpenElec orangepi hangs

Seem to be variable experiences of Openelec on the One. For me, running the One with the latest image for the PC works well & no issues. Recommend giving it a try.

Yes, OpenELEC works, but some 720p are freezing and not showing corectly

Lubuntu/ubuntu is unusable for videos (only 480p)
