in my opinion only 0203 version is absolutely stutter free

I can agree, no shuttering in 20160203 image, plays more version of HEVC video(Tears of fear, HEVC) than newer images and UI runs more smoothly.

ok, what I found out currently:
git commit 92926ea2c6b44b6c7e19b34c3c726599648239ae
- RSS feeds works fine
- video works fine
git commit 5e13869815b09e6407e1404c9c853ffc9e255eee
- RSS feeds stutter
- video sttuter lightly
git commit f32cae9b53ed9e9386d5d5c168290b20aaa6e540
- RSS feeds stutter
- video sttuter heavily

Unfortunately, I won't have time this weekend to debug further. If anyone feels pinpointing which commit is at fault, please do so.

@cbm,
I consult my friend which is electronic expert and he thinks also that mosfet is some kind of protection. That means that trace should be cut in order to connect properly, which I don't like. I will still investigate proper CEC solution.

I also found such version: OpenELEC-H3.arm-7.0-devel-20160209211353-r22052-gf608afb.img.gz
And it also seems to play smooth, but there is no RSS scroll.

Regarding CEC - I don't like the idea of cutting trace before MOSFET. There is simply no room here on PCB, everything is very tiny. On OPiPC even worse.
I'd try OPiOne because as I mentioned also Zidoo implements CEC via PA21, so I'd have 2 systems with CEC.
It's a shame that Xunlong advertises OrangePi as CEC compatible when it is not natively supported via HCEC signal from H3.

CEC is 3 volts and also 27k pull-up is needed. At least Opi PI PC has all the electronics (resistors, transistor, diodes) needed to drive CEC pin of hdmi, but we would need to cut and attach the gpio to the trace that goes to the soc...

There is HW cec, only documentation is missing. According to sunxi community, it should be almost the same as on imx6.

Can anybody please test eMMC installer on PLUS as described in FAQ?

Hi

I have installed on opiplus :-) works, wifi works resolution perfect no calibration needed on my LG, I will start testing, re sizing of emmc partition done by default.

It twice more faster but boot is slower.

Ethernet works, green led works.

found ntfs hdd

sata not tested

usb works

external keyboard works

Something is with hdmi, not alwais tv starts - I have to sometimes unpluge and plug again hdmi

Suspend/resume cycle works only once . Repeat obtained only after reconnecting the power.

Is it possible to do so after the power supply system is started only after pressing the power button ?
