hi

my board is Opi+ 2E. I run on it h3droid and armbian (ubuntu)

when playing video in h3droid it freezes
same video plays well in ubuntu, but desktop shows "wrongcolors" (more like green)

what could be the problem?
any help would be appreciated.

for green linux it's about some setting in fex/h3resc, in 1.3.4 i think it got renamed to dvi or hdcp fix (in display submenu). as for the freeze, only video freezes or whole board?

Thanks for the help. Green screen issue fixed.

I also found that playback freezes are EBMC (Kodi) related (on Android). Video plays well in VLC player.
I will try another kodi package.

if playback freezes some seconds after start, it's adaptive quality issue, just rewind 30s and it will work. unfortunatelly driver is binary so the only fix is rewind (or setting quality to some value instead of auto)

i've managed to fix kernel bugs to run h3droid on orange pi zero (256M). everything works, ethernet, wifi, video playback, apps. as long you dont run out of memory. but i'm not sure i want to release it into the wild. too many people would come back with broken sdcard (due to swap hell).

I had problem with YouTube. Unable to play video in YouTube. It says connectivity issue and asks to check on system time. Mine is 1.3.4 with OPiPC.

as alternative, can you add an option to install the RetrOrangePi slim distro in the Linux partition ...

any update on this?

unfortunatelly google changes things breaking backward compatibility. you have 2 options:
1/ update gservices and yt app - bad idea if you have less than 1GB of ram (or lots of apps running)
2/ use stock browser and open yt page there - with proper config (preferably disabling caching)

h3droid with slim retrorangepi would really be perfect!
