I have the Orangepi PC.

Resume always works. It's the suspend that doesn't work for me using the ...

Ah, ok. I always though that you have plus board. USB is the issue on OPi2 and Plus boards.

Maybe crashing deinterlacing driver has something to do with it. After second resume, there is a lot of errors in dmesg also for other programs like systemd-sleep, but if this driver is disabled, there is no problems at all. Could you please build image without it (CONFIG_SUNXI_DI) and test? Kodi will still work, but there would be no HW deinterlacing.

Oh, OK. Sorry for the confusion.

At this moment I cannot build a test image because for the next week I'll only have my ultrabook at my disposal (which is painfully slow to build images).
It would be strange if it's caused by the DI driver as all the problems are in fact on inital boot... After a suspend and wakeup, everything works just like it should (except DI). But would be a cool thing to test

BTW: I saw this commit:  5ad82638fb5bb9f150f8c680e455128d5cd0ceb8 (Unify all images and enable full system updates without losing changes)
Does it mean we will soon be able to update without rewriting the microSD card? And maybe OTA?

Yes manual updates should work (tar file), although I think there is a bug for updating boot.scr. OTA would be possible if someone would look into update script here https://github.com/OpenELEC/serv ... ules/system.py#L519 and create compatible php script which we could put on the server.

I actually don't see anything there that could help me on the way.
However, I've found this: http://devupdate.leopold.me.uk/ Maybe we could use that addon (with custom URL setting) to update OpenELEC OTA :-)

The code I referenced call some php script on official OpenELEC server (http://update.openelec.tv/updates.php) with appropriate arguments to see if there is a new version. While I couldn't find source of this file I think it shouldn't be too hard to emulate it. It seems that it needs to return json structure something like that (or empty if there is no never version):

1. {
   
2.     "data": {
   
3.         "folder": "some-folder"
   
4.         "update": "something"
   
5.     }
   
6. }

Copy code

Final update url is formated like this:
'http://%s.openelec.tv/%s' % (folder_value, update_value)

Both urls can be simply changed by the patch during build. Isn't that simpler than including some plugin by default?

Dima

Hmm, thanks. Will try to find something here the next few days.

It seems that Kodi wants to switch resolution on the fly due to some error in resolution detection ...

Thank you very much for the explaination!

This might be right, the TV is very old... maybe EDID lags at this model!

Looking forward for new Versions (or a new TV )

Have a nice day!
