Openelec Build for OPI PC and 2 now with HW decoding

@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

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.

@jernej: I build OpenELEC using your code without "kodi-003-perform_suspend_instead_of_powerdown.patch"
Tested on Orange Pi PC:
(http://kodi.wiki/view/List_of_boolean_conditions)
(http://kodi.wiki/view/list_of_built-in_functions)
1. System.CanSuspend - works
2. Suspend() - works
3. System.CanPowerDown = works
4. PowerDown()

My build on default OpenELEC skin "Confluence" behaviour on "Close Menu"
(https://github.com/xbmc/skin.con ... onMenu.xml#L89-L185), shows:
1. Power off system -> same as shell commands "shutdown -h now", "poweroff"
after that Orange Pi PC is total power off, if you want to wake up board you have to unplug and plug power adapter
to start system again. If you want to unplug your board from power adapter - it is safest way to close system.
2. Custom shutdown timer
3. Suspend -> suspense system, after that Orange Pi PC is suspended, if you want to wake up board you have to use your
power button, but in this mode you shouldn't unplug from power adapter your board it is NOT safe way to close system.
4. Reboot -> same as shell command "reboot"

I think that this is better option, especially that still is possible to use power button to suspense/wake up system,
and also we have safe way to unplug board (currently doesn't exists from GUI), @jernej please consider to remove this this patch.

From what I understand, power button would then shutdown the system instead of going into suspend. Same goes for power button on IR remote. Those two cases are primary reason for that patch.

Suspend is much more useful for openelec. Especially considering the low power usage...

I forget to test it, but yes, you are right :-(
Phisical power button will shutdown the system :-( (it also not good for me)
I have to try another way maybe I will modify default Confluence skin and LogindUPowerSyscall.cpp
to solve this problem,

It is not true, more useful is has two option suspend/poweroff,
Power usage is not a problem, sometime I just need to safe shutdown system to unplug power adapter.
