I checked every important part for CEC and they seems to be connected exactly where they should be. ...

Please tell me.
I wrote to the seller about the problem, he wrote to me: "Could you plz provide us the debug info to check?" what he wants and how to do it?

the other power supply unit I tested, did not help.
I try one of these days, test the circuit for cec line.
elec when turned on, displays the connection to the adapter, and then vanishes, TV at the moment writes an unknown device.
on OPI when turn on writes to the connection adapter - is connected to a TV, the TV shows the player BD

I would explain which board (including revision number) worked with which OpenELEC image (include link) and which didn't. Write exact TV model. Try to test on another TV. Stop kodi with "systemctl stop kodi" and play with cec-client console program. Mention that there were multiple reports of same issue with same board in this topic...

Basically, include description how to reproduce the issue and describe as detailed as possible what did you try do to show that board is faulty.

All,
please test this update for channel switching bug. Today I received the newest libraries for video decoding, which have a slightly different memory management.
https://transfer.sh/aMDip/openel ... 3261-ge328780e4.tar

I just want to know if issue is better/worse/solved. These libraries will be used eventually, I just want avoid regressions.

It looks fine so far. But I noticed some artifacts sometimetes - rectangles on moving objects (I don',t mean vsync artifacts), playback restart fixes is. Maybe bad signal, but it's not entire screen so I'm not sure.

And weird rasoberry logo on boot, rasoberry pi? And artifacts on it.

For me, this is orange:

Care to explain, why do you think that you see raspberry? Also I fixed artifact issue long time ago. Any image to show the issue would be appreciated.

4K video issue was fixed next day after I uploded the image, so here is newer update. Please note that I didn't push CedarX changes yet to github. Maybe I should issue update and wait somebody to complain. You can easily downgrade by making manual update with older update package found in "Prebuilt images" topic.

Yes, orange, my mistake sorry. I can't downgrade manually. I put tar to update folder, restarted device and update not applied. I guess I need to unpack tar manually on PC?

Regarding to channel switch. From my tests:
- 10/10 times no kodi hangs
- 6/10 times rectangles artifacts after channel switch. Need to restart playback
- 1/10 times no video after channel switch, only green noise instead. Audio ok. Need to restart playback

Ok.. latest update. 4k hevc works again. But image freezes, poor performance. It seems only hevc affected, h264 4k works the same as previously.
