I tried it today in the morning with my 2GB card and it didn't start at all. I had no time to dig it deeper but quickly burned previous 0309 version which booted ok. So probably you changed back this booting issue.

Not really. What I changed was removing power button settings from eventlircd. This surprised me very much, but the numbers don't lie. I had always the last U-boot installed all the time.

It seems to me that Allwinners kernel has problems with interrupt handling. Probably that's why they don't use them much. I can hardly wait that mainline kernel will be on pair with this one. For now, it looks promising.

As I said, different settings for voltage regulator. In this case, voltage regulator is set to non ...

I'm asking because I wanted to use same image for both of my PC and One boards. I usually replace only script.bin. What else I should replace on the card when I change board to One?

The regulator situation in U-Boot for One is not ideal, but I think you are good for now by only changing script.bin.

I think I found the problem with stuttering. Please, test this OPiPC image and report: https://mega. ...

I think the situation is better than with image 2016/03/09. But unfortunately video is not jitter free. I think that h.265 video is smoother than h.264 where the jitter appear cca every 10 sec. I also think, that deinterlacing in PVR does not work very well.
