Most people hate to admit when their wrong, fortunantly, I'm not one who suffers that. I think I found my error, in the sequencing, of how to change &save settings.So, I suppose, all my objections, to the other changes, are now rendered mute. And, sorry for the delay, I was at the hospital in Tampa, most of the day for tests.
This is how it works,
>Customer Setting "Task Bar" Main
System > (Confluence)Appearance > Skin > -Settings > Home window options > --- /show video information ("on" to add) /show weather information ("on" to add) ---- /Hide-Music ("on" to exclude) /Hide Pictures ("on" to exclude)
-exit -back
-exit -back
-exit -back or the "Home" tab works too (to home screen / task bar)
choose power tab /reboot ---> retains changes
/shutdown ---> retains changes
choose power button pc <2x> shutdown - restart---> retains changes
choose power button pc <1 long> reboot---> retains changes
/power plug ---> looses changes
>Customer Setting "Task Bar" Subs
System > (Confluence)Appearance > Skin > -Settings > Add-on Shortcuts Add-on <add> 1 /(Israel Live) 2/ (cCloud TV) 3/(channel PEAR)
(same for "Programs")
Home tab
choose power tab /reboot ---> retains changes
/shutdown ---> retains changes
choose power button pc <2x> shutdown - restart---> retains changes
choose power button pc <1 long> reboot---> retains changes
/power plug ---> looses changes
Results same as above, working.
Once the unit shuts down by any of the above shutdowns, except pulling the plug, It should have saved the settings. But, after normal shutdown is where I pull the plug, to conserve power, and other security issues. And that's where the mistake occoured. Even after shutting down normally the settings aren't saved unless you've reboot without power loss at least once.
Now, let me wager a guess here. You fixed the PC power button, about 1 or 2 images back, from 4/28. So, to restart the computer before a working power button, after normal Tab Shutdown, you had to pull the power for restart? And the settings did hold without issue before then.
My error was not rebooting to save the change.
You can't pull the power plug, until you've fully rebooted, at least once, restarting with the power button, and then shutdown again, using the shutdown tab. Once done, you can pull the plug and the settings will still hold.
So it boot>, settings>, Home>, reboot>, shutdown>, pull the plug. This works & the settings then hold.
Once everything is saved, you can pull the plug anytime after, even while watching something, that as long as there's nothing being saved, which you need if an app locks up the system.
I'm still waiting to see if the power button work on a system lockup
But, I still don't understand, what's going on with the time/date, dropping to 1969, &, why clock set fails for me on openELEC. I've got a thought on that. I've seen no descussion, on what time server Open/Kodi uses. The time server I add in Open's Network setting, says, keep the "pings" to a minimum, else your black listed.
So, my thoughts are, the unit looses signal from the server, it continues, until interupted, & requires to re-sync. When it can't, it runs back to the bios, which was likely written in 1969 in unix or c/pm, and takes that as the correct time stamp. It's either a problem to be solved by whoever wrote the original versions of OpenELEC. But it could just as easily be a hardware problem with OrangePi clock or bios. So, the first thing is to figure out which. It effects the ability to display accurate Time, Weather and other information, so it needs to be addressed.
