This issue is known for a long time. I fixed one bug, but it seems that there is another. The problem lies in freeing CedarX frame buffer during channel switch. For now, I can't find the problematic place in the code. Main problem here is that CedarX library is not good fit to Kodi workflow, so I added few hacks, but evidently I didn't predict everything... There is something different how Kodi handles DVB clients. Maybe I should make a debug version which would print a lot of info to log.

BTW: I read that Kodi now handles TV (DVB / DVR) differently in Kodi 17?

starsail0r

so it is the cedarx library.

if you need any bug test for a debug version, i can help as far as i can. (compile/test builds)

ty again for your work. much appreciated.

ASUS USB-N53 (Ralink RT3572, dual band, ABGN) works just fine from the box with rt2x00 driver.
Tested on Orange Pi PC Plus.

Not in a near future. Currently that is interesting only to a C.H.I.P. and other R8/A13 boards.

@jernej: Could you tell me how currently is configured poweroff/suspend in your images ?
I see that "Shutdown button" in OpenELEC menu probably check using System.CanPowerDown and then calls Powerdown()
(see https://github.com/xbmc/skin.con ... gButtonMenu.xml#L99),
then it is possible to wake up OpenELEC using phisical button.
I think that menu button goes to suspend mode (it is different than "poweroff" or "shutdown" shell command).
Is it possible to active System.CanSuspend to use Suspend() command ?
Some times I need use Suspend() some time PoweDown().

The easiest way to explain is to show you the patch:
https://github.com/jernejsk/Open ... _of_powerdown.patch

It is copied from Wetek project...

BTW, ACPI and S1-S4 modes have nothing to do with arm32 SoCs...

So, your OpenELEC images intentionally perform suspend instead of powerdown, is it really needed ?Did you try use suspend/powerdown without this patch ?
Is something goes wrong or orginal

1. CLogindUPowerSyscall::Powerdown

Copy code

doesn't work ?

This patch is necessary for power button to work. Obviously, it is not used only for H3. Without it, press on the power button would shutdown the board and power cycle (power cable plug off/on) would be needed to bring it to life. Same goes for remote, etc.

I didn't try CLogindUPowerSyscall because as I already said, I reused the patch from Wetek target.
