Done! I didn't really check if it works. Can you do that?

Probably I should also update U-Boot to t ...

I tested the PC version and everything is alright. Also made the latest script.bin's available at:

May be if needed new builds can be made available once the uboot is updated or may be a bit later once the governor changes are finalized.

U-Boot is now updated.

I think that we could wait till decision is made about governor.

Jernej,
Looks like something went wrong when you merged the projects/H3/kodi/advancedsettings.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><advancedsettings> <cputempcommand>echo "$(cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp) $ <showexitbutton>false</showexitbutton> <fanartres>720</fanartres> <imageres>540</imageres> <video> <busydialogdelayms>750</busydialogdelayms> </video> <samba> <clienttimeout>30</clienttimeout> </samba> <network> <readbufferfactor>4.0</readbufferfactor> </network></advancedsettings>

I tested Openelec on my OPiPlus. I build image from Ubuntu 15.10 desktop.

And I found very serious problem. I wonder is there any possibility to fix this.

- Evirionment : OpiPuls and Openelec from SD Card.
- Function : watch TV from tvheadend client (IPTV from another TVHeadend server)
- I can watch normally when I enter TV and a channel from TV tab.
But when I change channel use up or down arrow key the system goes to hang.
The screen would be color stripe for whole area but text and menu keys are still display ok.
after happened this, I couldn't change my channel or even can't go to other menu.

anybody can help to fix this issue?

Hello.
Can it be this the latest Openelec version for Orange Pi PC? "OpenELEC-H3.arm-7.0-devel-20151228100408-r21817-g18acaa8.img.gz"
I've tried it, but the OrangePi works with 256 colors HDMI signal (I think):

Which problem do you think i have? Thanks.

Updated builds available at below location.

For those who would like to manually update the release I have also provided the tar files. Just replace the script.bin, KERNEL and SYSTEM files. This method won't update the latest u-boot, but won't lose any major fixes.

I tested IR remote with these builds and it works fine. For those having problem in getting the IR remote to work please make sure that you do the below step:

edit /etc/lircd/lircd.conf and change the 'name' from lircd.conf to devinput or linux-input-layer (this remote names are predefined in Kodi configuration)

begin remote
name devinput

I think this important step is missed out from the simplified IR remote steps posted in the first page.

Have you tested the same using a different TV?

Connected HDMI-HDMI?

Tried using a normal linux distro?

Finally: my build was successful. Had to try a few distro's and Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit) worked great. 15.10 x64 couldn't finish the build and I was sick of trying again, and again and again. 12.04 x64 didn't play nicely either...
It did take a while though... Build time was around 2 hours. But it did work great. Moreover: the SYSTEM and KERNEL files can just be found in the target folder, which is great

As for the Acestream patch: doesn't work as there's no acestream for arm. Only sopcast. Acestream is exclusive to Adnroid for arm. Actually a bummer because OpenELEC is sooo smooth. I'll just keep on switching between 2 cards for now.
