Thanks jernej
Ok, I'll give that a try. g5828aec is the same ending, as the current version I'm run ...

File version didn't change because I had local changes on my laptop which weren't pushed to the github. For manual update that is really not important. USB in a bootloader is really not important too. Kernel has it's own implementation, which is untouched and the only really important (although far from perfect).

hey, sorry haven't been around for a while I am guessing the first post is quite out of date... is it worth it to update it?

In one word "Yes". And, yes. Jernej been doing a fine job of stearing and keeping the branch on track, in your absence.

jernej i use tvheadend as backend dvb streamer and kodi-htsp client as frontend on openelec-kodi. i experience random freezes on channel switches on client side. the server can continue to work on other clients.

i suppose this is a client side issue. how can i find the real cause of this? what do you suggest?

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?

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.
