Unfortunately I've got no experience with U-Boot so can only support with test.

I have only OPi2, but please read this issue thread: https://github.com/jernejsk/OpenELEC-OPi2/iss ...

Hello Jernej,

Thank you for your answer. In fact I use wirelless keyboard and it boots fine without USB dongle. But still none of images after 22/03/2106 boots with USB dongle.

While you guys are busy working on the OS, in general, I think the OS might be working on you. I've noticed on the last two releases, the Os is not wanting to remember and retain user settings. EI: setting items to the task bar, like iVue under programs, or ccloud under video.  Also, it tends to run to mama, on "time setting", all the way back to, jan, 31,1969, even after installing "time-c.nist.gov", under Network in the Config file. it might be something you could look into soon I hope.

I haven't seen anything like that... Do you have any logs (just after applying settings and when starting a program that relies on saved settings).

You know, I don't have a log on it, didn't think of it yet. But, I doubt it would show anything, because. The settings remain stable, only available as long as the unit is active. Once you shut down or reboot, then they're lost again. The time issue is different, I'm connecting it to some event sometime after startup, I normally don't notice it till the Guide (iVue) starts reloading it's database. at that point it comes up with "no programming available" which is caused by the clock dumping.
Edit: there's also a couple applications that appear to be stuck, they keep coming back even after removing then through file manager/profiles, and my add-ons/system.

@chaszim,

Board is: (2x) OrangePi PC (occur's on both boards)
Clock: is entered @ OpenELEC > Config > Network >Timeserver #1 (add "time-c.nist.gov") low ping rate suguested
So, yes, symptom effects both boards.

I have OPi2 board and I'm checking time more often now but I didn't noticed any issue. Can you describe in greater details when that happen?

Anyway, later today I will upload new images and you can check if problem still persist (I pulled latest OpenELEC updates).

The simplest way to say the action is iVue reads from their "channel xml list" normally once per day. So, I watching an IPTV channel (through ivue guide), I come out to the guide, to look for another channel, the guide starts it's XML read cycle reading from it's list, and it returns a error, "no programming available". I exit iVue & reload, to the same error message. Exit again and noticed the clock is now reading Jan 31 1969 around 7:30p.m.  
Is that wierd enough? I can notmally go into openELEC's config, to network, and re-enter the time server information. Then re-boot to correct the time error. In entering the time server information, it has to act like, it's saving the line for ths to work. This has happened with the last 3 openelec versions offered.

You can still access other services that are not dependant on time to produce a guide listing. so "FTV guide, iVue guide and similar based guides, are effected.

I can't and I won't support third party plugins, sorry. There is no guarantee that they are completely compatible. Unless this issue is reproduced with official plugins or clean system, I won't work on this bug.
